Sidenote: he didn’t “refute” Linick’s testimony, he just denied the allegations. “Refute” means to prove wrong. He offered no proof, just denial.

I love the idea of an electrical heater saving money by being “efficient”. In an inefficient electrical device, any inefficiency from electricity not serving the main function is wasted...as heat. So I’m guessing all electrical heaters are ~100% efficient.
BTW, I imagine the impact of the glow is minimal. Even a…

Totally agree. But Cohen seems to be the only one of all of them - and there are many, plenty of whom you would think were upstanding moral members of society - who actually has had a conversion.
The only datapoint you need:
The military has only ever been a photo opp to Trump. Whether it’s generals in his team, sending troops to the border, the cancelled July 4 parade, and now this...they are a prop, used as needed to further his goals, and no-one else’s.
This. It’s always worth reminding ourselves that this is an official communication from the President of the United States. This is normal now. True leadership!
OT, but where does this leave Libertarianism now? What is the Libertarian course of action in a pandemic? Hide in the woods until everyone else has fixed it for them?
Well, that’s awkward.

When reporters asked what, specifically, in Sotomeyer’s statement was grounds for recusal, he responded “You know what the statement is,” which, to a former professor, sounds an awful lot like he didn’t read the assignment.
+1 for “querent”, which was new to me. :-)
Good point. It’s not quite victim blaming, but it’s definitely at least adjacent to victim blaming.
by using models in their 20s they were targeting adults
Fourth reason: they are racist.
No, he was a child. My son is two weeks short of his 17 birthday - five weeks younger than Trayvon was when he was shot. He’s 6'1", but he’s most definitely a child. Also, needless to say, anyone under 18 is legally a child. So yes, definitely a child who was stalked by an aggressor and ultimately shot by him.
That is actually a really interesting point. Trayvon was the one attacked. Therefore surely he was standing his ground? Zimmerman was the aggressor. He was advancing on Trayvon, not standing his ground. He’s a murderer.
The difficulty with your reading of the facts is that Zimmerman was the aggressor. It’s not relevant that he found himself losing the fight, because he started it.
He started a fight with someone - a boy who had just turned 17 - for no reason. And when he found himself losing the fight, he shot the child dead. That,…
Totally agree. He is happy to destroy people’s lives to further his political career. Perhaps this fact has less impact than it should because we already knew he was a awful human being. But you’re right; this should not be the new normal, should not be in any way acceptable. And the same applies to his enablers who…
