Three intentional walks, I guess?

Is this possible outside of a pitcher coming in with the bases loaded and somehow picking off all 3 baserunners? Curious if I’m missing some other scenario that doesn’t involve a crazy amount of balks.

I believe that he has done less well than that. If he was smart, he would have done that.

Telling Congress where to shove the pen seems more on-brand for Trump, is all.

I think the big issue is he’ll look like Congress’s bitch if his veto gets overridden. It’s a huge embarrassment for a President.

But vetoing it wouldn’t have an effect because his veto would be overridden by Congress. His veto being overridden would not only signal he’s in Russia’s pocket but also that he’s powerless to Congress.

‘“I built a truly great company worth many billions of dollars.’

He also had to sign it because his veto would have been overridden and he would have looked like even more of a cuck.

The $1M includes punitive damages because the couple was found to have acted in malice. It wasn’t intended as a damages figure that only represents her lost earnings.

Lawsuits take into account the time required to rebuild to past earnings, money spent on rebuilding, and money spent on legal costs. It’s not just about recouping your yearly salary for X years.

That’s a lot of words to say you don’t know her business. This wasn’t a part time gig for her. For wealthy people in Dallas, I guarantee the engagement photo shoot, the wedding shoot, and the other related events she might shoot cost much more than $3,000.

I read the WaPo article this morning - she demonstrated that prior to this couple charging forward with their public shaming crusade she was booked months in advance and had a thriving business in Dallas for years. Since the crusade she has sign two couples. Two. She had gone through her savings and retirement fund.

Loss of income and future loss of income was valued at around 550k, damage to reputation of both the photographer and her business 280k, mental anguish and intentional distress at 75k, punitive damages at $75k. Her photography business was a thriving business - she had multiple employees and a studio. It wasn’t just…

Here’s a link to the documents containing the jury award breakdown. Pages 6 and 7 of the documents at the bottom of the story. Easy Peasy to find:

The article in the Dallas Morning News said that in the year before this blog post, she booked 126 weddings. In the year after, she booked 2. I don’t think it’s unreasonable that she would make around $4k per wedding. Not to mention money spent on legal fees. Dallas is expensive. We like to be fancy down here, and…

The jury charge says they estimated her lost profits at $357,000 over the last two years, and that she reasonably lost $150,000 in future business over the next year. The rest is a combination of various “mental anguish” and defamation punitive charges awarded by the jury.

The answer I came up with was $500,000.

Professional wedding photographers photograph a lot more than just the weddings and don’t need to “work a wedding every day.” She could easily pull down that kind of money in a market like Dallas.

I read somewhere that while typically she’d have gotten a certain number of bookings for a year she only got like, 5% of the usual number of requests/bookings. because for a long time after the story originally ran if you searched her name/info the first 8 of 11 results had titles that pretty much said “photog rips…

There’s almost no way she pulled $500K a year.
