    I will feel more comfortable with a real trial. This blast of evidence every day is a pretty funny way of adjudicating something.

    But of course impeachment is a political and not a legal process. So let’s not think this in legal terms. There are no rules of evidence that I can tell. It’s trebuchet loading and launching.

    Well, I think her career supports that she was never really known for her beauty. More about intelligence and acting talent. Of course, tastes differ.

    @bachophile said in Could McConnell vote to convict?:

    All he is saying that he probably would want to have him convicted but because it’s not politically expedient then he won’t vote publicly for it.

    Makes perfect sense to me.

    So if reality were different we would have a different result. You could literally say that about anything.

    I do get your point but this parsing is no way to run a railroad. If you are for a secret vote just push for that.

    If people are willing to believe that spoilers on the back of their car will make a difference at 50mph, they'll believe anything.

    At 200mph, with a Formula 1 car weighing 1600 lbs, small changes are a lot more important. Typically, you see the laptimes increase each lap as they burn off fuel. Visibility in an F1 car is pretty awful.

    I used Lulu.

    If you use it to make physical copies, you buy those copies yourself then you redistribute them, Lulu is fine for that.

    If you let people order copies directly from Lulu and let Lulu takes care of order fulfillment, Lulu is also fine for that.

    If you want to use Lulu not only to make physical copies but also to distribute copies to other book sellers on your behalf (e.g., distribute to Amazon, Barnes and Nobles, etc.), then I feel Lulu is on the expensive side in that they require you to choose some premium options to qualify your book into their distribution program.

    Most of its IT system is fine but I had problem with how its website deal with Chinese fonts on the cover design; I got around that by rasterizing my entire cover design then uploading it to Lulu. I don't care enough to isolate the problem and determine whether it's a website-only problem or if it extents to its printing operation. Maybe it will be perfectly find for you if you don't use any CJK font.

    Good luck.

    I wish OperaTenor is still with us. He's ex-Navy who worked on a nuclear sub. I can only imagine the stories he would have to tell in a thread like this. 🙂

    I think @Horace knows what my answer is. It is no. LOL

    That is almost like those "idiot savant" people.

    Here is one guy that, after taking a helicopter ride over Tokyo, re-draw the city from memory in good perspective!!

    BTW...She's been doing games for some time. She originally broke in doing Saints pre-season games. Sean Payton has really pushed her in the NFL offices.

    Surprisingly, since Goodall hates him, makes it surprising she got this far...

    Very interesting.

    I looked up Raskin's objection. He said he objected to 10 of Florida's 29 electors because they violated Florida law by being "dual-office holders" (Federal and State, I'm assuming).

    I dunno if it's true. But the objection seems to be at last based in some procedural legal minutiae.

    It is anti-democratic to bring it up - especially if there's no alternative to enfranchise the citizens those 10 electors represent.

    At the same time - Raskin has to know that 10 electors means nothing in terms of who wins the Presidency.

    @copper said in Breaking: GA prosecutors open criminal investigation on efforts to overturn results:

    That's all Mr. Trump wanted, an investigation.

    That is incorrect. By his own words, Mr. Trump wanted to find 11,780 votes.
