The Frankish Reich

No. Just reminiscing about times with their common friend. Jeffrey Epstein.

Because Trump is known for forming lasting, loving relationships

I have to agree, but it needs to be a constitutional amendment. (Remember those, like the ERA? The most recent one to be ratified? haha)

Yeah, on second thought, I'm just gonna get one of those iPads where I swivel the screen to the defendant: 18%, 22%, 25%

They seem to have no problem finding the Caribbean waters all by themselves

Ground Chuck wins! The passing attack: Fergy 12-20, 102 yards, 1 TD The ground attack: Cribbs, 18 carries, 128 yards.

Actually we were thinking about quitting our law jobs and becoming waiters. Or maybe putting a tip jar on the counsel tables.

Something makes me think that JD's not gonna like having Vivek primed for a run at the presidency ...

Maybe someone out there would like to have a rational, informed discussion? Yeah, right. But here's the thing: Presidents, demented or otherwise, do this type of thing. Biden declares that the ERA is the law of the land. In the next few months, some private litigant - a woman (whatever that is) files a lawsuit, arguing that the ERA is part of the Constitution. She cites Biden's statements in support of that position. Maybe a court agrees. Who knows, maybe the issue makes it to the Supreme Court. And maybe the Supreme Court decides that this "time limits on ratification" thing that was attached to the ERA is nowhere to be found in the constitution (it isn't) and that as long as enough states eventually ratify, it is part of the constitution. A strict textualist - most of the Supreme Court today, at least in their own opinions - would probably find exactly that. Meanwhile, check back on Monday. New President Trump is likely to issue an Executive Order undoing birthright citizenship. That's pretty clearly unconstitutional as the constitution has been interpreted so far. But he knows that the constitution means only what today's Supreme Court says it means. Some poor schmuck born here of illegal aliens parents will apply for a passport, and may be denied it because he's not a citizen under Trump's EO. He'll sue, and the case will percolate up to the Supreme Court, which may decide birthright citizenship is a constitutional requirement. Or it may decide that birthright citizenship as a matter of constitutional law was a mistake, just like Roe v. Wade was all a big mistake. I don't like the President trying these things, tee'ing up issues for appeal. But it's a perfectly rational political thing to do, and it happens a lot more at the beginning and the end of administrations. We're Americans; we legalize every political issue.

Simple. Win: "Lamar can't win the big one." Lose: "Josh can't win the big one."

The concept of the CBP One app is good: rather than having swarms of people show up at a land Port of Entry (think TIjuana) all asking for asylum at once, "meter" them to ensure that we have the capacity to process everyone's claim. It is sort of a "remain in Mexico for as long as it takes" rule. The problem is the implementation by the Biden administration often amounted to "take your number and get in line to be allowed into the United States to file your asylum claim." There is nothing that says an asylum applicant has the right to be free in the United States. Congress made detention pending a decision the rule, and release the exception to the rule. Biden allowed the exception to swallow the rule. So ... Congress should not eliminate CBP One. It should trust the new administration to implement it correctly.

2020: Tik Tok is a way for the CCP to gather highly personal or even sensitive personal information and to use it to compromise U.S. national security! 2025: Do I get to sit next to the Tik Tok CEO?

I was talking with friends at a restaurant last night. Let's say the check is $500. We would typically tip 20% or so. So that's $100. The server would net maybe $80 if she's in a 20% tax bracket. No tax on tips? She'd net the full $100. So should we reduce the percent we're tipping to take that into account?

And avoids having the new press secretary hilariously insist that the embarrassingly small crowd is the “largest ever.”

Personally, I never saw the need to ban Tik Tok or force its sale to a U.S. investor. But Trump 45 issued an Executive Order based on his Emergency powers, finding that Tik Tok posed an unacceptable national security risk while under Chinese control. That was shot down by the courts. Then Congress made essentially the same national security findings, passed the ban/sale legislation, and Biden signed it into law. It sailed through Congress, and Senators including Cory Booker and Ron Wyden voted for it. Now all of a sudden Trump, Booker, Wyden and others are saying "we didn't really mean it." Apparently the hope was a sale of some manner would proceed and push would never come to shove. A cautionary tale: be careful what you wish for. Trump and Congress made "findings" about national security threats that were largely bs, and now they're stuck with them. So the Supreme Court says go ahead, if you didn't really mean it, well, repeal the legislation. You made this mess, you clean it up.

Supreme Court unanimously refuses to intervene in Tik Tok Death Legislation.

I'm not even watching. Moved a flight back a day to make sure I catch the Bills game! The only one I care about.

I think he's been inspired by McDermott to add dad jokes to his repertoire, so this ain't your grandfather's Leslie Frazier.

What's wrong with those? An Indy Jones character vs. a gay mustachioed bon vivant prowling their respective sidelines. More interesting than the actual game.

Alec Anderson to be the run-stuffing DT to stop Henry; JA17 to be the spy on Lamar?

Are the guys who just need to have "a little action" on Bills games to make them more enjoyable really Bills fans? Really football fans at all? I got nothing against gambling. Love playing the long bets (Bills to win the AFC/Super Bowl every year). But really ... just enjoy the game itself!

Agree. Shakir is the first really good slot receiver we've had since Beasley. And he turned YAC into a thing again for the Bills. McGovern is a huge upgrade over Morse. I like Morse, and love how he helped turn one of the worst O lines in the NFL into a good unit. But his best days are behind him, and McGovern has led a really superb unit.

Geez, can you imagine what a moron you'd need to be to hire SIX of these losers?
