I said almost 20 years ago when I first started seeing regular cops glorify Marvel's The Punisher character that we were way too late for most forms of police reform. It's generationally seeded and self-perpetuating now. I hate being even a little bit right about this. DISCLAIMER: This is a #notall...

Papa Haydn is a sentimental favorite of mine. It has an incredible Viennese dessert case, and quite credible pastas. Plus, I could actually afford to eat there when I was a student. Because I lived on the other (downmarket) side of the Willamette River, I usually went to the location on SE Milwaukie...

While I do not live in Portland, I went to college there and return somewhat regularly. For stellar Northwest seafood, I would try Higgins, which is located at SW Broadway and Jefferson, not tool far from where you are staying. I also recommend the 10 Barrell brewpub experience.

Staying near the Art Museum and PSU. Also looking for suggestions to places that I MUST see. :batting: You must see Powell's City of Books - the finest used book store in the Western Hemisphere. Despite having been founded decades after the author's death, I am sure it was a model for that Borges s...

Yes. You can find them on OnlyFans.

Wellllll, my understanding is that the board (which includes toadies like Don Jr.) could grant him a waiver on the lockup. I agree that the board could grant a waiver of the lockup agreement, but I don’t think that eliminates the Rule 144 restrictions on sales by affiliates. Because Trump owns more...

This is a :pickle: The more money the rubes fans throw at $DJT, the less available for direct grifting. Does that mean it’s Schroedinger’s stock? In his left pocket or in his right pocket? Just took some drugs. This might not make sense. At this point, Trump cannot sell the stock (of which I unders...

That is what is referred to as "a cold open."

He's locked in until October. Thinking that Trump can unload all of his stock when the lock-up period expires ignores the SEC Rule 144 securities law restrictions imposed on persons who are considered "affiliates" of a company. Ordinarily, those who own more than 10% of a public company a...

FWIW the epicenter of the NYNJ earthquake was ver close to Bedminister.

An eclipse is a sign of God’s displeasure that tells us to repent? Celestial mechanics are pretty well understood; when and where an eclipse will occur can be predicted hundreds of years in advance. Perhaps God seeks our repentance on a very rigid schedule.

Commentators often reference the lock-up period (six months) as something might limit Trump's ability to sell his shares in TMTG, though some state that this can be waived. I am curious if JP Capitalist or anyone else knows whether the Rule 144 volume limitations might apply because Trump is an &quo...

At least in the US, about 85% of gynecologists are female.

The RSC, which comprises nearly 80 percent of House Republicans, released a budget proposal on Wednesday that would raise the age of Social Security eligibility “ to account for increases in life expectancy, ” though it did not provide specifics. The current full retirement age for the program is 6...

Not trying to be a Trump apologist, but I assume the point that Trump was trying to make (in his rambling and disjointed way) was that Biden's showing in the swing states in 2020 was suspicious because it was better than Obama's showing in 2012 in those states, while Biden's performance in other sta...

No where is it mentioned that this expansion is to exceed the New Continent. How this guy thinks the US could expand further is a secret to be discovered. Does he intend to enter Canada or Mexico? Whar resources does he think he has in his hands to perform such expansion? :brickwallsmall: Space For...

I had a Kate Spade bag they got.

From a fellow Quatloosian, Cheers to you and your fascinating cabinet!

His mouth keeps writing checks his checkbook can't cash. Prior to Trump calling Carroll a liar again, I thought that Trump’s best argument on post trial motion or Appeal was that the punitive damage award was too high. (Often courts limit such awards to some multiple of the compensatory damage awar...

So no inartfully collated and defectively stapled submissions? :kiss: :kiss: The rules appear designed to minimize the possibility that whack-a-doodle material gets through. Also, the attorney who files the brief must be a member of the Supreme Court bar. The qualifications to join are not too diff...

Doesn't SCOTUS also require that submissions be printed on an offset press? It is my understanding that you can't simply use MS Word to print off a few copies on your HP inkjet printer. I have heard that there are several printing companies in DC that specialize in preparing submissions to SCOTUS. ...
