Oh trust me, I know. I live here. That said, horseshit demi-glace still tastes like horseshit. It’s just thicker, more concentrated, and less fertile when you’re done with it.

Yup. I’m about to sauté them in butter and wine anyway. That rinse water’s going to get reduced right along with the rest of it. You know what won’t get reduced though? Horseshit.

Sure would make the pardon stick a bit more complicated to wield.

Gronk v. It was only a kiss...?

Yeah, but that’s probably not a movie set during war. Battle scenes take notoriously long to shoot, as someone above referenced Helm’s Deep. There’s a massive number of extras to wrangle, along with complex makeup and special effects, and likely a large number of animals. It can’t just be dispensed with in a few days…

Precisely. I can’t help but feel that this would have just blown over if the UFC didn’t have to cancel three fights. Suddenly now it’s bad publicity because it cost them money.

I’m not even going to bother to add anything, just star everything you said because I completely agree. Right on the nose. The options that this “reveal” opens up for the greater universe are fantastic and exciting. And far, far more meaningful than if Rey was a Skywalker or Kenobi.

How did I know that the “Michael Jordan of Delaware” would be a white Italian kid without looking?

Costco diapers are also cheaper (though you have to buy the big box, obviously), with more in a box, and they’re made by Pampers anyway (for real, that’s why the on-brand is Huggies instead).

Yeah, but Merrill Hoge just forgot he’d already done a full Windsor.

And here I thought the number one rule of medicine was “first, do no harm...”

I’m torn. I’m all ready for intentionally bitter (I’m sorry, “hoppy”) beer to be irrelevant. But this doesn’t seem like that panacea, so I’m sad.

Only if they said “anymore.”

I knew he seemed too happy about this:

Gotcha, I’ll admit I didn’t think to look into the PRA. So thanks for bringing that up, and you’re absolutely correct, up to a point. Not everything is FOIA exempt even so, and failure to comply with a valid, non-protected request, could still be compelled by a valid court order (full text here: https://www.archives.go…

A blanket FOIA immunity is news to me, as FOIA is nearly always a case-by-case determination. I’d love to see a source if you have it.

The Executive Office is only unique in that the President can assert executive privilege over members of the Executive Office. However the EO does not include everyone in the WH, only the President’s closest advisors. Executive privilege exists so that he can receive candid and confidential policy advice from key…

Not a lawyer, and probably barely knowledgeable (though I do have a J.D., and so studied a lot of this). However, you’re right, these are more than likely unenforceable. Everyone in the White House is (as you stated) a Federal employee. All communications between or including federal employees are matters of public…
