I keep thinking of how the prosecutors who did so much work to get the conviction. How discouraged must they be?

Oh, that explains it. I'm sure money changed hands, too.

I hope it wasn't your cousin! And that the injuries aren't too bad, anyway.

How is your Con Law prof coping with the current state of their subject? I can't imagine how to either teach or study it right now.

I'd invite you to my Thanksgiving dinner if I hadn't gotten old and passed on hosting to others. I assure this is not what mine were like.

I didn't recognize those as mashed potatoes before. Had to go looking for them. I don't get the ugly dishes, either. Surely she can afford pretty serving dishes, at least. And such small portions!

Every word out of her mouth is a lie. She'll be catching up to Trump in volume of lies soon.

No. Listening on your phone is crap. Deprives you of the real experience of the music. Notice how vinyl is coming back? There's a reason for that.

My mother tried to tell me the four students murdered at Kent State were bad people. She stopped just short of "so they deserved to be killed." "The greatest generation" weren't always great.

It was bad. I think it's worse now. MAGA true believers live in a whole separate world, much of which is imaginary. You can't get them put of it.

Good point. I'm remembering a Thanksgiving dinner at my in-laws' in maybe 1969, 1970. Got so heated hubs and I left before dinner was over. But nobody was yelling fantastical conspiracy theories or disagreeing whether Vietnam War was happening.

Undoubtedly. It can take years. The Aghans, even though most worked with US military or gov't, have been subjected to *extra* vetting and their cases have been taking much longer than normal.

I learned it in Virginia and Indiana grade schools. All our education isn't terrible, and it was once pretty good most places. I believe Bush's imposition of standardized testing & focus only on reading (but poorly taught) and math started the sharp decline in teaching everything else. It's tragic.

Also old; I learned "arabic numerals" around 3rd grade. We also learned Roman numerals in grade school. The term was probably mentioned most to contrast the two. My younger ex, whose grade schools were mediocre, was never taught Roman numerals. No contrast to make, no mention? A guess only.

The gifts he accepts are not "for the country." They're for him. Like the plane, supposedly to replace AF1, but which he plans ro keep for himself.

I'm sure he didn't "wait." The process of vetting for Afghans has been taking years. Applicants don't enter the US until the process is done.

Yep. It's crazy, but it's been known for a long time if you were paying attention.

Wow. As usual, not just missing the point but accusing of what they do themselves. No bunch of people more out of touch than these cabinet officials.
