Yeah but his police academy degree is the same as a real one.

That way if you do run out, you can coast farther.

If Cohen filed an anti-SLAPP motion, would it stay discovery in any of the underlying cases? Maybe avenatti’s trying to walk a fine line because he knows a defamation suit will get tossed but that the SLAPP stay might allow the defense some time.

I thought Avenatti was implying it was the Trump Org making payments on behalf of Trump or I guess one of his large adult sons? Certainly wouldn’t be the first time he improperly used a separate entity as a personal slush fund.

How does she punctuate?? Just tell yourself you’re hearing “ah, well we can find something else to do.”

Great fans like to remind us that good NBA squads are full of Tall Eager Angry Men. It’s useful when you’re watching say, the Suns, and almost forget.

Golf — a sport with such an evolved etiquette that I’ve yet to play a round without seeing a guy pissing in the bushes.

These guys better be careful, it only took one angry lady with a golf club to end Tiger’s career.

I, for one, am glad this ended up in the hands of Tallahassee Police Department. Lotta guys on the force got some practice handling this type of thing during the Case of Famous Jameis and the Missing Crawfish. I think we can all be sure the investigation was as free from corruption as it was competently conducted.

Clearly it’s a complex situation, but throwing our hands up and saying “yeah but anything we do will harm other people who have been wronged,” isn’t good enough. If a sitting judge who has otherwise demonstrated prudent judgment doesn’t understand the precedents and tests or can’t accurately make a good decision from…

In the short term, I’d like to see greater weight placed on a defendant’s propensity for a similar crime, more evidence of prior acts, more careful scrutiny of NDAs concerning sex crimes or oppressive behavior, etc. I certainly don’t think we should gut our constitutional protections, but i think a judicial…

Lots of people wondering the same thing. I’d like to see some discussion of changing existing rules of evidence in sexual misconduct cases, perhaps other cases involving imbalances of power as well. It wouldn’t fix the whole problem, obviously, but to me this is bullshit.

Sure, but let’s not conflate having competent legal representation (a constitutional right!) with having a lawyer willing to attempt to humiliate a victim’s mother in open court.

Looking in the mirror after engaging in that line of questioning must be tough.

This is a good take, there’s no way Cohen has actually been practicing law, right?! I guess Hannity just said “sure,” because he’s all in with Trump at this point. Cohen really doesn’t even seem competent enough to structure non-disclosure agreements.

Just as a general rule of thumb, it seems like anytime you find yourself conspiring to intimidate an 11-year-old it might be time to take a step back and re-evaluate. Maybe take a vacation.

Yeah, let’s not forget Mohammed bin Salman had a Saudi general tortured to death in a Ritz Carlton hotel room as part of a violent political and financial shakedown.

Personally I don’t see race, only jersey color.
