Translation: no actual legal scholars agree. Dershowitz doesn’t count.

Mishandling a firearm like that is a fireable offense.

Andy Borowitz writes satire, so I assume that’s what this is. Zelenskyy is a comedian, so the satire could be his. It would be a great idea even if it is satire.

Both look like they’re having a wonderful time.

Or, my alarm clock on its charger.

Once she wakes me up, she curls up next to me and goes back to sleep. Built-in snooze, I guess.

At Sea Lion Caves on the Oregon Coast, they do that all summer.

Where’s that damn “Boo!” button?

Goes for crypto, too.

No, the president was being a shit bag.

That works both ways.

You always feel like you’re being watched, don’t you?

Watch your cat not give a shit and copy it.

Young punk.

Is that a cat or residue from a cat. It’s often hard to tell.

Let us know how that works out…

Getting from idea to written is a lot of work. Getting from written to published is a miracle.

So now the judge has conflicting statements from the government. So much for the presumption of regularity. The case should be tossed because of accumulated errors and misstatements. One or two would be ok, maybe. But this? It sounds like a particularly bad episode of “Night Court”.

Who said legal writing wasn’t creative?

I suppose those are technically birds, but anyone who has eaten at outdoor seating at a waterfront restaurant knows them as food thieves. “Finding Nemo” nailed them.

Neither the president nor his/her administration is “the state”. They merely run it at the moment. The Constitution is the state, and a cogent argument could be made that Trump’s entire admin is an ongoing coup.
