Wrong franchise. (Though probably more deserving of a sequel than VIII was/is. RIP John & Joan & any others now dust ~30 years later.)

More like the wormhole of idiocy. It all escapes out of him.

True. Perpetuating conspiracy theories is a job much better left to a Senator or a Congress critter.

So, does this count as the "completely scandal free" prior administration's 1st indictment? Or are they still "pure & wholesome" because this didn't relate to work he did while he was working for 44?

IF that's what put him over the edge, he never should've been in DC in the 1st place as something else would've almost certainly made him suicidal before 42's 1st term was up. Always figured he did kill himself & figured the Clintons were indirectly responsible for him deciding to do so, but not because they hurt his feelings. Just figured with their own malleable, shall we say, ethical standards and the annecdotal, but extensive, stories about how they treated people working for them that they created, non intentionally, a dilemma for him where he either stood his ground & not go along with something they wanted him to do which would've meant he wasn't working in his client's best interest or he sacrificed his own ethics for his client. Which in the pressure cooker that DC seems to be capable of, could lead to him deciding his best solution to the dilemma was to exit. And any rifling through his briefcase or repositioning his body that may have occurred were simply somebody trying to perform damage control after they found out he'd killed himself; not murdering him. IF that actually happened.

But that wouldn't have kept him from having to deal with actually getting such a charge dismissed. Nor would it have kept her from having a nice meme/ CNN talking point of how the Treasury secretary is a misogynistic/racist/senior citizen hating post-neo Nazi who has no respect for the rule of law nor the separation of powers.

Guessing that there is some sort of Contempt of Congress charge that can be levied if a person called before a committee leaves prior to the hearing being dismissed / recessed. Which would explain why Waters was trying to get him to walk out without ending the hearing. If not that, no clue.

You expect that Katz is having the sort of cash flow issues that Pocklington had in the late 80's? If not, they're getting some monster offer to consider moving McClavicle.

Not a chancein Hades the Eulers would settle for that. Eichel heads to Alberta in any trade they'd make with the Sabres. As to your question: Botterill answers before it rings.

It's all connected ... Non-detective detectiving ... Love of aliens / conspiracy theories ... Holy ####. Just realized now that you're Dirk Gently! :0

Actually, Pelosi's hypocricy is slightly worse. She theoretically is not merely a non-denominational Christian whose faith doesn't particularly have a view on abortion but rather a devout Catholic.

Blackhawks had 3 combos left. Sabres 2. Pretty sure 1 other team had 2 as well, but don't recall who that was. Agreed that last year's lottery was a better one to win than this one. This seems to be a bit of a down year. Kind of like how 1st prize in '14 wasn't nearly as good to win as '13 or the 2 that followed.

Considering after any of a 3 ball combination there's about 8 teams spread over the remaining 14 possibilities remaining with a shot, certain that call is correct. At most there can't be more than 2 or 3 teams that were more than 1 ball away.

Heck, last year after the 3rd ball, Chicago had a better chance than Buffalo but it worked out.

It was. Still, frustrating to a degree to know that teams in 2 of the 4 slots they could've ended up in heading into the last 2 games ended up moving up. At least there's no huge difference between 3 and 7.

Yep. There are 1001 combinations IIRC and they are distributed randomly to the teams in the lottery based on the assigned winning percentages. (E.g. A team with 6.0% chance of winning has 60 combos.) Should that 1,001st combo get drawn, then they do a redraw. (They also do redraws on the 2nd & 3rd winning combos should a prior winner's #'s come up again. They've got the #'s distributed randomly to keep as many teams still eligible as possible as balls are drawn until the 4th ball is drawn.

Pretty much where I was at as well. Top 2 would've been sweet, but they should still get a Mittelstadt quality player at 7.

You need to have ta-ta-ta-ta taped it already. The show aired last night.

OK, we all know in reality this Iranian designation of CENTCOM does absolutely nothing. What are they pretending it does? The US designation means that should a French (or other) firm decide to continue to do business with the IRGC, they can have their US assets frozen and can't do business in the US. Does the Iranian declaration mean that if Hezbollah takes US aid then they can't get Iranian aid? How the heck do we sign up for that? 45 would have totally wiped out their funding with the stroke of a pen. Cheapest war we'll have ever fought. (Even cheaper than Granada.)

Not football, but sports marketing so related. The Sabres while heading into the 8th of a 10 year run of not getting past the 1st round chose for their 20th anniversary season slogan "Celebrate the Tradition." Yes, let's celebrate the traditional lack of playoff success. Like the Guinness commercial used to say, BRILLIANT!

The only team he didn't get to the Finals was the Sabres, going all the way back to his 1st NHL gig in St. Louis. Agreed. Would be great if the Sabres luck into the 1st or 2nd slot. They need a legit #2 C, #2 RW, to re-sign Skinner, get a top notch HC (Vigneault is VERY intriguing), and have somebody on the coaching staff that can run a PP. Get that done (& that's doable) & the team should be in the playoffs this season. And a legit threat when Mittelstadt & Dahlin grow into the 2C & 1D roles they'll eventually be ready for. Still hating that Seattle delayed joining by 1 year because the Sabres will lose a good D-man that fit in LT but would've only lost Hutton or Scandella had they entered for '20-'21 like originally planned.

Not sure why I'm responding to this other than I have a couple of minutes waiting for a phone call. Can't / won't speak for others and many have already explained well their interpretation of why the 2 situations are not similar. But here's my take. Clinton's home server was an issue for several reasons. The first being the almost certainty that when it was unsecured it was hacked by myriad organizations. The second, and the one that makes it illegal (regardless of what AG Lynch got FBI Director Comey to say regarding said server), is that she was conducting government business on non-government equipment with the express purpose of circumventing Congressional (and departmental via the IG) oversight. The third, which is grayer as in her role as SoS she had the authority to determine at least a portion of the "classified" messages that were on her server weren't/wouldn't be classified, is that she was handling classified information in manners outside of accepted protocols which is also illegal. Others, even high ranking officials (hello General Petraeus), have faced repercussions for much lesser violations of classified document handling protocols. Justice should be equal for all, even Clintons. There's probably more that's concerning, but that should be enough for the purposes of this discussion. The accusations about giving out clearances to people that were flagged as possible security risks are concerning on their surface, but there are several items that mitigate those concerns. The first is that though Newbold didn't name the 25 or so individuals that had "disqualifying issues" (at least in the article I read) it has been reported that some of those individuals include people such as Michael Flynn, Rob Porter, and John Bolton. It is preposterous that any of those 3, who have previously held clearances, should be denied them at the time they were vetted to serve in the current administration. As we know those were flagged for political reasons rather than national security questions, all the disqualifications are called into question. The second is that this is standard operating procedure for all administrations (R&D); while there is concern or question about them, it doesn't equate to them actually leaking classified information nor does it equate to them being compromised. And, as others have mentioned, overriding the recommendations of the staff isn't illegal (whereas conducting government business on private equipment certainly appears to be illegal). That's just the 1st 3. So, to make a long story short, as others have stated, things that are different are not the same.

Who you kidding? The true believers'll take the best of both worlds: the dead baby & the vote of the dead baby.
