Clinton got a 10 point bump (63 -> 73) after the House voted to impeach him (Dec. 19, 1999). The bump faded during the impeachment trial (Jan. 7 - Feb. 12) and being acquitted gave him a mini bump which also didn’t last. Then his approval rating basically settled at 60% for the rest of his term until people started to…

The message where he says he lashed out at her because he’s miserable makes that explanation virtually impossible to accept. Other than the “so much cum on your face” message, what is he trying to rationalize?

Hmm, foamy substance, sewers, brewery.......

Yeah, if you go straight to court the other party will likely say something like, “gosh Your Honor, I really want to comply, I just need a little more time.” And judges, who traditionally really hate to involve themselves in inter-branch disputes, will probably allow it.

Splinter should really write or link to a good Contempt of Congress explainer.

The change doesn’t have anything to do with VBR, as far as I can tell. They’re increasing the maximum bitrate for DD+ / Atmos streams to 640 / 768 kbps, although they may have begun doing that last year (for DD+). Maybe they’re adding more intermediate bitrates as well.

“All-American food”:

I think the purpose of Bran warging into the ravens was to lead the Night King back to him.

I’m pretty sure the reason for Bran warging was to tell the Night King where he was. They’ve shown before that he can perceive when nearby animals are being controlled by Bran.

And if that catches on, you’ll get offered a choice of $30 / 1 month; $60 / 4 months;or $120 / 1 year.

Yeah, if you can’t get the prosecutor (U.S. Attorney for D.C.) to present the citation to a grand jury, the judge who might theoretically rule on the case doesn’t matter.

According to the post, it doesn’t install anything. It just runs, and updates the system settings according to your desires.

Yes, I’m in California and the new thick bags are very strong, but now you have to reuse them probably about 10 times to match one reuse on the older, lighter bags. I don’t want to do that, so I use reusable totes for my groceries and bought a stockpile of restaurant take-out bags to line my kitchen wastebasket and…

If you reuse a lightweight plastic bag even once, you’ve already made the most eco-friendly choice, according to several articles I’ve read on the topic. Just do your best to keep it from getting into whatever body of water is near you and chill out.

It’s also the most obvious bluff and is going to net him less than zero leverage.

Sorry, it’s my fault. I picked him up at Heathrow and told him to write about Brexit.

It’s probably the cable, but the monitor might also only accept audio from a 3.5mm stereo input even if it has an HDMI video port. If it has no 3.5 mm input or also has a 3.5mm output you’ll know it’s not the monitor.

It’s probably the cable, but the monitor might also only accept audio from a 3.5mm stereo input even if it has an…

And if Mnuchin ignores it, I assume someone on the Ways & Means Committee would sue him and they’d have a fight about what sort of deadline is reasonably implied by the words “shall furnish”.

Further on, or elsewhere in the law, I believe the committee can choose to publicly disclose whatever they want after receiving the returns or other information. Members of Congress also have total or near-total immunity for things they say while speaking and debating on the floor.

I honestly can’t conceive of a plausible argument that Mnuchin could make to not provide the returns to Congress. The relevant section of the U.S. Code is pretty much as clear and concise as laws get, “Upon written request from the chairman of the Committee on Ways and Means of the House of Representatives, the…
