Sessions’s goal is simple, really. Use the police power to break the current legal businesses, creating a vacuum. Then, call the crackdown a “success” and back off in time for the next administration, whereupon your friends’ new companies (that ‘just happened’ to sprout up in the meantime) fill in the vacuum and…

Your comment reminds me of a time years ago, when Ray was still on Gol TV, after a goal that sealed a Clásico in the other direction:

There’ll be plenty of lovin’ in the bedrooms of Madrid tonight!!!

In Arkansas, a man who rapes woman is more important and valuable than she is.

And get 6 weeks of probation as a sentence because the judge doesn’t want to ruin your life.

As Monty Python sang, “Isn’t it awfully nice to have a penis?”

I’d say at least half the Brexit voters dream of a similar policy for the UK, and May owes her position to Brexit voters, so she’s going to try to thread a needle on this.

He had to pay people (like the Clintons) just to get them to attend his wedding.

LA’s situation is different, because the facilities exist already. Their 2024 bid includes literally one new facility (for kayak/slalom), and the transportation and entertainment infrastructure is already in place or was going to be built anyways.

Basically, it’ll be a repeat of the ‘84 games they hosted, which were…

..and Los Angeles used nothing but old facilities. Hell, they used the Olympic coliseum from 1932.

Indeed, they built two new facilities. Two, and they got corporate sponsors to foot the bill. The rest was pre-existing.

How on earth did they get the bid? For 1984, they were the only city who offered.

It’s possible…

He’ll probably be convicted or plead, but “fourth-degree sexual assault” is a Class A misdemeanor in CT (same level as prostitution), subject to up to a year in prison and up to a $2,000 fine. My bet is a token fine plus probation.

I suspect that some companies are less stringent about their monitoring equipment than others. Same as in any industry.

It was obviously the dreaded double reverse false flag: A false flag for your side set up to look like a false flag for their side so you can discredit them.

He made the mistake of doing this in DC, where he will face a nasty rap simply for bringing the gun, much less using it. I suppose that Trump could pardon him (since the crime would be federal), but that’d be small potatoes for a president to bother over.

I think a third of the reason people booed was for that, and another third was because of politics. The last third? To ruin his night. He wasn’t out there to “engage,” but to be at the big hit show. Getting tickets to it means you’re a big deal, right? This was his way of showing he’s really made it. Probably…

The Kilpatrick is usually pretty empty, especially outside of commuting hours. It’s a fun spot to let your car do its thing without endangering anyone but your own fool self.

And if you exit it southbound, and keep going a few miles, you reach a town called... Mustang. Maybe this guy really wanted to make it there.

Plus they whooped Oklahoma in Norman, and the Sooners are on pace to finish in the top 5 or 6.

“ How did she receive them?” The man she sued is backed by two of the most powerful state security agencies in the world. I suspect they figured out who she was.

The way that’s written it seems to specifically allow managers who aren’t wearing uniforms onto the field.

I never saw him as a Russian plant. But what I did see is this:
1. Since the late 1990's, he has been blacklisted from American financing of his projects. Multiple bankruptcies catch up to the best of us.

“Why do men think that talking trash about women accusers make them look less guilty?”

They don’t want to look less guilty. They want us to join them in considering these women to be worthless garbage. Then we would applaud them if they did it.

Time and time again, conservatives prove that what they think about liberals is completely at odds with reality.

And more often than not, you can replace “liberals” in that sentence with just about any other phrase and it’s just as true.
