The New Coffee Room

@Jolly said in Pets For Dinner: Saw where some of the Haitians headed to Canada. How'd they get papers so fast? Remember that many are legal in that they have TPS status. Now that TPS status is kind of up to the discretion of the Administration…

I thought nothing was off the table to appease negotiate with Putin?

And that picture is from the first inauguration, so the captions don't work.

Maybe it did have business support, not all businesses. Still, if be lied I guess the score is 30,573 to 6.

@Larry said in "You're damn right I'm taking hydroxychloroquine.": Ya think?.... oh wait, you're right..... she doesn't have a coat like that?.. Now that's funny!

That's the late California vote. As long as he still wins the popular vote, I don't think it's a big deal.

@Axtremus said in Inflation: https://www.wired.com/story/the-bird-flu-outbreak-has-taken-an-ominous-turn/ The article is mainly about bird flu outbreak. Relevant to the price of egg is this snippet: ... the US, where 43 million laying hens were either killed by avian flu last year or slaughtered to prevent the disease from spreading. Those losses took out almost a third of the national flock of laying hens; according to the US Department of Agriculture, they cut into egg supplies so much that prices at the end of the year were 210 percent higher than at the end of 2021. ... Uh, you kinda forgot about the increases in diesel fuel and feed didn't you?

Once feels > laws - then, I agree, we have a whole whack of new problems. For longer than you've been alive your side has based it's entire worldview on "believing" and "feeling". You just jumped the shark. Who are you talking to? You quoted my post. It should be obvious that I'm talking to you. The problem is that you seem to be unable to distinguish "individual who disagrees with me on point X" from "the other tribe, which I hate". You do this every day on this forum. There is no uniform "other tribe". If you want to have a productive conversation with people, you need to address them as individuals, not as members of a tribe. You always seem to need a box with a label in which you can put people and treat them all the same. I go out of my way to point out that (99% of the time) I'm not talking about any specific individual. You see what you want to see, I see some individuals who think I'm talking about them personally every time I say something. If you have trouble sorting it out its not my fault. No, it's quite often not at all clear. Also, who are you talking to when you are not talking to an individual? Can, whoever you attack, defend himself/herself here?

Lol

Next time I’m getting my hair cut I’m asking Yuriy about Navier-Stokes equations.

So that’s why restaurants seemed so cheap in France. Maybe this retiring to Europe thing isn’t so bad.

@George-K said in Trump says he expects to be arrested on Tuesday: [image: 1680645486590-image.jpeg] He was insecure enough to state that he was talking about the female officer, and the one on the left.

The Judge High-powered obnoxious Chicago lawyer (Robert Downey Jr.) goes home to Indiana to bury his mother. His two sibs (Vincent Dinofrio and Jeremy Strong) and father (Robert Duvall) have a strained relationship. Duvall is indicted in a hit-and-run and Downey defends him. Kind of sappy, formulaic, etc. But watching these actors was amazing. Downey dominates every scene...except those where opposing counsel, Billy Bob Thornton is in. On Netflix for another 3-4 days. Watch it at 1.25 speed.... Link to video

Then maybe he should mind his own fucking business. Oh sorry, that's what he is doing.

It’s pretty vague. Hard to know what they mean by “part of the lawsuit”. Part of the settlement? Seems unlikely. Part of why the Murdoch’s are done with him? Sure, could be.

@George-K said in Trump - Butler, PA: Screencap before it gets deleted.

He really should have.

Matt Gaetz (R-Fla.) in the House and excoriating Rep. Nancy Mace (R-S.C.).

Excerpt from Serious Trouble podcast about how it is that Luigi will face Federal capital charges Josh Barro (02:00): And so ordinarily murder is not a federal crime. What would make Brian Thompson's murder a federal crime? Ken White (02:06): Well, they have to bootstrap this a little bit, Josh, to get to the death-eligible murder charge. What they do is they charge him with interstate stalking, which is a federal crime, and then they tack onto that use of a firearm in the course of a federal crime, that federal crime being the interstate stalking. And then on top of that, they tack on the use of a firearm in a federal crime resulting in death, which is the one that's death eligible. So it's sort of like a multi-step process to be getting to deploy or he's eligible for the death penalty. Josh Barro (02:44): Oh, so that's interesting. So it's not so much about using the gun in the murder as using the gun in the stalking that makes it a federal gun crime that then results in death. Ken White (02:54): Right. The statute 9 24 C is a statute that adds on fairly draconian penalties to other crimes if they're federal, if you use a gun during them, and this is one where they stack up. So if you commit five bank robberies, you're looking at a mandatory minimum 85 years or something on top of the bank robbery sentence from using a gun in all those bank robberies. But it's basically a mechanism to get where they're going. And it all hinges on the concept that Mangione stalked Thompson across multiple states.

The year will be remembered by many like this: [image: 1610214602071-6c2477e1-44e2-4a8c-8d31-a1660f4c6537-image.png]
