In other news, Stone got his sentence commuted by Trump: https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/politics/2020/07/10/trump-grants-clemency-roger-stone-lying-russia-investigation/4762762002/

And the one who authored the main opinion used an extremely textual argument: Congress didn’t write a law saying that this land is no longer Native American land, so it still belongs to them, including the laws that federal courts have jurisdiction, not state courts. 

Sephardic Jew perhaps. My partner is of Sephardic Jewish descent.  Any sun whatsoever darkens her skin.  

Most of his roster bonus guarantees kick in at least one year in advance, and while it’s “only” $140 injury guaranteed, he’s still got up to $473 mil in guarantees.  It’s a good contract for both parties, as it gives him a large amount of money while making sure the team has flexibility to put good players around him. 

But he didn’t suffer any lingering effects it looks like.  And our luck, the same thing will happen with him.  He’s probably going to come out the other side just fine. 

Alas, what she was charge with is only a misdemeanor. 

It’s really up to those two to forgive him. I hope they can, but it’s their choice. People fuck up. Own it, improve yourself, don’t just do it so you can get forgiveness. Improving yourself should be done on its own merits. I don’t know that dude needs to be perma-canceled, but he does need to be better.

Agreed, it became confusing wayyyy too quickly.

If it comes with making the Supreme Court illegitimate, he is not going to come down on the side of Trump.  Above all else, Roberts is about rules, procedure, precedent, and maintaining the sense of legitimacy of the Court, even if he prefers another outcome. 

But it IS typical Kotaku. 

Since I don’t have a PS, I can wander at will. I don’t think these games would appeal to me to play in the first place, since I generally prefer stories with more positive outcomes.  Misery simulators don’t hold a lot of interest for me, even if they are beautifully rendered. 

His district is basically Tennessee.  

I guess we’re going all in on the herd immunity belief. I’ve been generally staying at my parents place for 3 months as they have a full yard, more rooms, and a dog whereas my place is a one bedroom apt in Chicago.  In that 3 months, I’ve been out and about less than 10 times.  Most days, if I get outside to do yard…

To be honest, though, it IS progress that he was suspended without pay immediately. Before, he would have likely been only assigned to desk duty or suspended *with* pay.

She’s probably his new play thing. *barf*

Simple is that he does have the right to use that stuff.

Yeahhhhh, pretty much all you can really do is file a cease and desist. There are loop holes that pretty much limit any ability to actually prevent he usage.

Trump does indeed have the right to fire him. Barr himself doesn’t, which is what caused some of the trouble today when Trump denied being involved. But Trump was indeed involved.

Too late, he capitulated late afternoon.

This dude you’re replying to definitely needs to tap his inner zen or just beat off somewhere to channel his aggression.
