My understanding is that that can be a punishment attached to an impeachment conviction. I want to say Blagojevich can’t hold any public office in Illinois again due to his impeachment and conviction.

Now come on. You can’t expect a former US Attorney for the Southern District of New York to know that.

Yeah, that stuck out to me. Making the attorney representing you in a case a possible witness to the matter at hand is rather, uh, bad. It’s even worse when the attorney himself does it.

(That was hyperbole meant as a joke)

Given what Stormy said of Trump’s prowess, I don’t think Ivanka will be yearning for the fuck that was her daddy (and “daddy”).

I don’t think the ACA took reconciliation. Wasn’t cloture invoked with 60 votes (57 Dems, 2 Independents, and 1 Arlen Specter who switched parties to the Dems)? I read up on it recently, and it passed with at least 60 votes, so I imagine cloture was invoked. Meaning reconciliation was unneeded.

I once worked at a labor union-side law firm which misclassified all of its workers (except for one secretary) as independent contractors (associate attorneys, paralegals, law clerks, etc). They also got in trouble and sued for not paying said secretary overtime.

While many people are jumping on the “better aligned” language, I found the “My views on treating allies with respect and also being clear-eyed about both malign actors and strategic competitors are strongly held and informed by over four decades of immersion in these issues” line to be an even stronger rebuke of…

There was a “Draft Mattis” movement in early to mid 2016.

Kim Guilfoyle is the former Fox News host (The Five?) who is dating Don Jr. And she’s a brunette.

They’ve had Spawn, Heihachi, Link, Yoda, Darth Vader, the Force Unleashed guy, KOS-MOS (kinda), Ezio, and Geralt. You are correct in your assessment.

I’m not sure you can call it political expediency when they’re switching from the party which controls 2/3 of the seats the party that doesn’t. Their doing so basically means they will have no seat at the table and no way to get any measure they want passed since the supermajority does not need to consult with the…

Hey, Ann Coulter is speaking the truth for once.

Park Jae-sang is white? TIL.

Yes, this stuck out to me. Typically, Felony Murder requires the, uh, felony murderer to be actively engaged somehow in the commission of the dangerous criminal act, not just being an alleged conspirator or accomplice or whatever. It sounds like she wasn’t even at the seen of the crime and police are alleging she…

Shows like Top Chef, when they limit the number of ingredients their chefs can use, always say that salt and pepper don’t count towards that ingredient count. Because DUH.

The Overton Window is a real thing.

Georgia used to be able to gerrymander its governor election through the old County Unit System. That was struck down as unconstitutional back in the 1960s though.

Give us Weird Al. The man knows how to put on a show, and the Super Bowl mainly features medleys of songs. He knows how to do those too!
