    @taiwan_girl said in Gee, do you see any concern in my eye?: Well, the three branches are supposed to be independent of each other. Yes, and I've made that point when it comes to the ethics allegations about various Supreme Court Justices. The legislature has no say over how they behave. But... The pardon power of the President is plenary as far as any federal crime goes. It has nothing to do with the separation of powers.

    @George-K said in Spicer's loss - is it Trump's win?: https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/politics/sean-spicer-s-lost-court-case-sets-huge-precedent-for-47-trump-can-go-in-and-fire-everyone/ar-AA1whDgF?ocid=msedgntp&pc=U531&cvid=0438450b9bbc4c2182f57de8b4a6a94c&ei=9 tl;dr... Spicer was appointed to the visitor boards at the military academies. This was a 3 year term due to expire, I believe in 2024. POTATUS fired him (and two others). [image: 1734824757020-e-x_wufx0ays5qt.png] Spicer sued, saying that he had a 3 year term. He lost the suit. Does this mean that President-Elect Trump can fire whoever he wants? No just people appointed by the president. Which is a big number but a small percentage.

    Bet they timed those results. This should be investigated.

    @George-K said in Judy could do it all night long.: @Jolly said in Judy could do it all night long.: Nancy Sinatra talking about Christmas parties at her house Is that a video, or what? I'd like to listen. I'm a huge Sinatra fanboi. Nancy Sinatra used to do a weekly radio show on SirriusXM, where she talked about her dad, his music and lots of little personal anecdotes. It ran for over a decade, but ended during COVID. They still replay it on Sunday afternoons.

    Shaler is exactly the area that the schools would hide the kids mental and physical health issues from their parents. Wealthy area but with blue collar roots. It’s the area where the guys made millions working construction from the ground up and have working class attitudes, but marry up, so have to move to a wealthier community where all the teachers are hired from Wellesley. So the teachers naturally feel obligated to hide their students mental and physical well being from their barbarian fathers.
