It sucks growing old

I was in the ER again yesterday. I had another allergic reaction. We went to my favorite Mexican restaurant and I had chicken tacos. Chicken. Flour Tortilla. Salsa. That’s it. There must have been some cross-contamination. About an hour after I ate I got a stomach ache. That’s a common symptom with ...

INDICTED (INDICATED) #4 - Quadfecta! Perfecta? - Judge Scott McAfee - Georgia v. Trump ET AL - P01135809- Fani Willis

One thing I’ve never understood about this supposed actual conflict of interest and Willis supposedly having a financial stake: The State AG’s office, that is, Willis, hired Wade. Wade did the work, and earned the money he got from the State. Why shouldn’t he get to do what he wants with the money i...

US v. Trump - Espionage Act - (9:23-cr-80101) District Court, S.D. Florida

The tweet says, “In other words, she punted the decision to later.”

I don’t think that’s quite right. Trump would have to make another motion, otherwise she’s leaving it up to the jury.

I doubt it comes up in today's hearing on the motions to dismiss, but he's so stupid... Shocking revelation, I know. While Donald Trump’s legal team prepared to make arguments attempting to dismiss his classified documents criminal case, Trump was working on a new angle of his own. In a pre-recorde...

Bragg Manhattan DA charges tfg? Hush money. tfg “INDICATED!”

If [Trump] can’t meet all of the elements of the defense, what his lawyers advised him probably isn’t relevant. And if it is relevant, then he has to waive the privilege to get it in front of the jury. Suppose Trump gets the advice-of-counsel defense onto the field with the requirement to waive att...

Bragg Manhattan DA charges tfg? Hush money. tfg “INDICATED!”

I think it’s unlikely that the judge is going to allow him to both raise the defense and not raise it. He’s going to have to pick one. If he can’t meet all of the elements of the defense, what his lawyers advised him probably isn’t relevant. And if it is relevant, then he has to waive the privilege ...

The only time I didn’t like DST was in Alaska. Where I lived, it didn’t get dark til after midnight in the summer. Kids were outside my window playing when I was trying to sleep (get off my lawn!). But they liked DST (they called it ADT) because it was hard enough to do business with the lower 48, e...

So D's dad's house sold (for 40K over asking) and the three kids all made just under $100K a piece, a pretty good inheritance if you ask me, even if the oldest kid is mad he didn't get a free house and is no longer on speaking terms with his sister. I have a question. I still have D's parent's will...

Every time I go to the ER with an allergic reaction I get a call from the insurance company wanting details about the incident so they can determine if there’s third party liability. It’s triggered by one of those codes. :roll:

14th Amendment Trial - Removing Trump from CO Ballot

I should add, Kagan, Jackson, and Sotomayor concurred in the judgment- they agreed that a State cannot remove a candidate for national office from the ballot. But they thought the majority went too far by addressing things beyond that yes-or-no question.
