And I would say with 99.999% certainty it’s the 83 year old guy, who is no doubt more Mr. Burns than Grandpa Simpson.

The idea that this guy bought the property in May 2020 and two months later sold the property that was not listed sounds suspicious to me. People buying multi-million dollar homes use lawyers. That guy absolutely used a lawyer, both when he purchased it in May 2020 and when he contracted to sell it in July 2020.…

A letter of support for sentencing is not the same as a letter claiming he’s innocent, which would actually not help at all at sentencing.

Well if they asked the FBI they would have received a response regarding Federal law, and they would need some sort of connection to Federal jurisdiction for it to be a Federal crime. This wasn’t an action by a State government official attacking Pickett, and it doesn’t seem to involve interstate commerce, so there…

After this ballot measure fails, and after the abortion rights ballot measure passes, if a version of their 60% ballot measure was reintroduced, I wonder if these GOP folks will suddenly decide that maybe they’re opposed to making it harder to change the Constitution.  Hypocrites.

The big takeaway for me is not the woman herself but the reaction of everyone on that plane to what she said.  In the video, right after she said that mf isn’t real, everyone around her quickly looked to the back to find the not real mf.  The flight crew wanted the whole plane re-checked for any problems because she…

I believe white supremacists like it because of Dylann Roof. A whole white supremacist group literally called itself the Bowl Patrol after Roof and his bowl-cut hair.

Ok, then who is the “they” who 1) killed jesus, and 2) will do something to this friend of Foxx’s?  It can’t be the Roman empire.  It can’t be whoever nailed him to the cross.  It can’t be some plural concept of God imposing righteous judgment as no one says that God killed jesus.  That leaves jewish people.  That…

Right, and saying not only that “they” killed jesus but also that “they” will do something to this friend of his means he’s talking about the antisemitic conspiracy theory about jewish people running the world.  That is why he had to apologize.  There was no innocent interpretation of what he said.  People are…

However the deicide portioni only addresses the “they” who killed jesus. The same “they” doing something to this friend of his today means he’s absolutely not talking about the Roman empire. He’s talking about some group that was there to kill jesus and still here now pulling strings. That fits the antisemitic take on …

That only applies to the “they” who killed jesus. Saying the same “they” will now do something to someone today doesn’t make sense if it’s the Roman empire that killed jesus, which hasn’t existed for over fifteen hundred years.  Hard to think of a “they” that both killed jesus and that can do something to someone…

Others I’ve seen: Black Aquaman, Michael B. Phelps, and Lil’ Namor.

It may not be as small in the Bahamas. Who knows how that figure compares to what most people make/the cost of living there. And, ideally, the primary purpose of bail is to make sure the person shows back up in court. As residents of the Bahamas, they’re probably not a risk of flight, and with the alleged target of…

Yeah, the more I think about it, chances are the motion probably sought a bail amount based on her being penniless and having no access to a private jet, etc., which the prosecutor may have opposed automatically noting she flew down there and the value of the property, and the defendant’s reply would no doubt have…

“In Texas state court, a ruling is automatically stayed when it’s appealed.” This sounds crazy to me (and I assume the author means a rule about appealable interlocutory orders like injunctions.) It is a stringent standard to win an injunction in the first place from the trial court. A rule like this, which allegedly e…

This law was already litigated in Federal Court, with the Supreme Court ruling in favor of the ban. This is the subsequent challenge filed in TX State Court under the TX State constitution. The judgment rules that the law is “inconsistent with the rights of pregnant persons and physicians in Texas under Article I, §§…

1) how did the black security guard being attacked by the first white guy equal “the blacks turn[ing] a disagreement into a race war”? 2) how did three or four white guys who then joined in attacking that lone security guard equal “the blacks turn[ing] a disagreement into a race war”? 3) how did bystanders coming in…

“It’s honestly wild that the previous governor — Tom Wolf, who was also a pro-choice Democrat—didn’t take this step, but better late than never, I suppose.” I’m not sure that people in general realized what crisis pregnancy centers (as a class) actually were until relatively recently. The point of them is to…
