:nope: I doubt it. The first citation in the OED for attenuate as an adjective is from 1626. There are a half dozen citations from the 19th century. Ngrams show a dip in the 18th & 19th centuries, and a steady climb in the 20th & 21st centuries. ;) Haveing said that, we have no reason to bel...

Interesting. Has there already been testimony about the McDougal affair?

Edit: duh, Mr. Pecker. And maybe that lawyer.

Thanks, that's helpful. I'd like to read the brief, and that snippet probably supplies enough information to identify the case and download the pdf, but I think I'll wait and see if it surfaces. It's a helpful piece of evidence, but I'm not sure how admissions and potential collateral estoppel from ...

As I posted on Monday : I dunno, and I haven't been following the trial closely, but I suspect that the evidence shows that it was the regular course of the Trump Organization's business to maintain records of Trump's "personal" checking account. And I imagine that this would satisfy any a...

I guess you're following it more closely than I am. Four or seven of what?

:snippity: I thought that her legal name was Stephanie Clifford. Stormy Daniels is just her stage name. I would think that, in court, one's legal name would be used, not a stage name.

I've read a history that suggests that Chamberlain was buying time to put to get England's wartime manufacturing apparatus together. Basically Germany had been pumping up its war construction for a while, whereas England was way behind both in industrial capacity and in the quality of its Fighters ...

Cross examination actually started around 3:00 pm Tuesday afternoon, and Necheles got through nearly two hours of fiery questioning.

Another take: https://twitter.com/AshaRangappa_/status/1788028802544660807 Asha Rangappa @AshaRangappa_ I think that Judge Cannon is intellectually out of her league and is having some weird analysis paralysis because her personal partisanship makes her place Trump’s bizarre arguments (like that nuc...

This order is judge for "I don't know what I'm doing and the dog ate my homework."

Pathetic.

"Oxbridge"?

Effin' tacky name.

Stern, you shouldn't rely on the flimsy protection of the "members only" codes, or on "needle in a haystack" security, for discussion of a devastating line of questioning.

Great story!

That's (foolscap-sized paper) weird. I wonder if it's a criminal courts thing.

FYI: George Santos is filing his opening defense briefs to his federal indictment, which were due by May 3 with no further extensions permitted “absent exceptional circumstances,” on May 4. FYI, it appears as though Santos's attorneys missed the midnight deadline by only a few minutes. It would sur...
