She should have called Al Sharpton. He knows how to run that sort of thing up the flagpole and get the press to run with it.

One too many hamberders for lunch, and now it’s nap time. He should push the button for a Diet Coke to help him power through

Huge difference between a stuck ball at Wrigley and that one, but also heads up by the outfielders to not grab it before the ump could make a determination.

The less we leave behind as refuse, the better. Keep using things until you can’t, then fix them if possible.

Just spitballing here. He got into an argument with his wife about her not being around for his cool new Rose Garden Club events. She said fuck you, it’s tacky, and he said, ‘Watch me screw over you and your entire staff. You’ll all need to find somewhere else to work’

I’ve never heard of a RIF where you’re placed on administrative leave. No, you get a box, a security person observing, and clean out your desk. Your email, building and systems access are cut. Done. Here you are asked go home, forward your work email to personal and wait for further details.

It’s awfully hard to debate and pass a bill that will reopen the government when you can’t do either of those things because you’re afraid of the Epstein files. Crippling the government is preferable to having a vote on this? Oh, I forgot.. Republicans. Now it makes sense.

Finding that the individual in a seat has no standing generally will lead to the dismissal of Cook’s case prior to oral argument.

To put a finer point on this - The second QP seems to ask whether a fired employee has standing to bring a suit alleging that the president has no right to fire a person (any person?) holding their actual position. The harm to them individually may not be relevant to the Court’s final reasoning.

It isn’t complicated. They’ve created an executive not responsible that laws are faithfully executed, instead one fully beyond the reach of laws. If you voted in the majority in Trump v. United States, you should be impeached. Other decisions are just a framework that agrees with this premise.

She should require Blanche and/or Bondi to put their names on the filings with the court. If she tries to palm this off to a line attorney, there will be more resignations.

I will not tire of hearing about the Epstein files, especially from survivors who are owed justice.

English usage question. I will paraphrase a Henry James-level stemwinder sentence from the article:
It was…time for Mr. Vultaggio… to hold his …board meeting in his …office in Long Island.
OK, got it? Is his office _on_ Long Island , or, as the Times style sheet seems to insist, _in_ Long Island.

I know nothing about iOS scripting, but with a little help from the Internet I’ve had a script that replies ‘STOP’ to all political text spam for over a year. This will be a game changer.

Any magician worth his salt is skillful at powerfully redirecting your attention while executing some sleight of hand. Right now Epstein is the shiny object and laying off chunks of departments is the sleight of hand

No need to clean. Over time, any excess butter/oil just forms a seasoned glaze. Maybe a superficial wipe if it makes you feel better.
