The LDS has been more central to American life than Catholics ever were. Oh no. That is SO not true. I never met a Mormon until I moved to Minneapolis.

A quick check of stats suggests that the Catholic church is nowhere near as central to American life as it was 50 years ago. At this point I paused, blinked, read it again and burst out laughing. Are you serious? The LDS has been more central to American life than Catholics ever were. In the 50s th...

I'm so glad you got a chance to reconnect with your dad, Foggy.

Since I don't label the amount in the title heading, I just state it, it doesn't matter what I call it later in a post. But it is fun to read the lawyers discussing what to call it.

The title has been updated to $537M.

MN Skeptic, time to update the header in the general Trump thread… Nah, I'll still to the actual legal findings. They're enough. But I probably should increase the $83M fines amount. Does anyone know what the actual amount of fines are right now, excluding interest? I don't want to have to increase...
