    December is the One to remember

    I delivered overnight to The Rat Hole on the River (some people know it as Marietta OH). and this afternoon headed on up towards Canton, OH. I get about half way up towards Canton and I get a call about a load picking up in back down in Athens OH going to Missouri. Called back 5 minutes later...

    The Trump Card...

    One would certainly hope not, but prosecutors do that very thing all the time. They usually preface their statements with "We believe, and intend to prove," but after obtaining a plea agreement, they omit the preface and believe they're right. History, and a disturbing number of DNA verdict...

    The Trump Card...

    No, the rule I stated is the test the FEC uses to determine whether or not funds were used in an improper way. (" to differentiate legitimate campaign and officeholder expenses from personal expenses.") The rule applies to funds used in both proper and improper ways. You're still hing up on...

    The Trump Card...

    I think it's important for people, Democrats in particular, to keep in mind is that the Mueller report is not a finding of fact. People have the attitude of, "Mueller is going to get to tie bottom of this." Well, no he's not That's not his job. His report will be an extremely one-sided...

    The Trump Card...

    I must admit that as a treasurer for a political campaign, I'm surprised that you are not intimately familiar with the "irrespective test" the Federal Election Commission uses to determine the legality of campaign expenditures. My source is the text of the statute, from the FEC: Personal use -...

    You did. But you argued that it was a parallel situation, when it is not Carrying a gun when not committing a crime is legal, but when committing a crime is explicitly illegal. Making payments to women to keep quite when not a candidate is legal, and remains legal if one continues to make the...

    The Fake News Depot

    Great song, great movie, but it doesn't really have any relevance to this thread or to the misuse of akimbo by the FAKE NEWS media trying put out FAKE NEWS. It's the type of out-of-left-field fart fat can clear a room and kill a thread.

    The Trump Card...

    No, that's merely the accusation. An accusation born of hopes and wishes while ignoring reality. Your concealed carry bank robbery analogy also ignores reality, since it is explicitly illegal to possess a firearm during the commission of a felony. Campaign finance laws likewise explicitly state...

    The Fake News Depot

    Akimbo is an ancient word, derived from kenebowe from Middle English "kene" (sharp bend) and "bowe" (a keen bow), and from Old Norse keng ("bent") bogi ("bow") kengboginn. It means the bend in a river or in an archer's bow. And when your hands are on your hips and your elbows are bent out to...

    The Fake News Depot

    I'm really disappointed that the MSM didn't rag on Trump for manspreading. Massive opportunity missed, even though that's really more of a New York subway thing. Here's the video from where that screencap came. They repeat her comment several times, to make it even funnier. I should also...

    December is the One to remember

    I think the Great Human-Induced Global Warming Climate Change Southern Blizzard of 2018 is more Weather Channel hype-induced than anything, and there'll be a thin line of snow and the other 90% will be rain, and what snow does fall will be gone within hours

    December is the One to remember

    I got a quote offer, twice, 15 minutes apart, for a load that picked up 120 miles away. Didn't hear either offer notification because I was asleep. Trying to figure out how such a situation shaves minutes off our response time in order to secure more leads (120 miles away), and keep wondering if...

    Apple Music, is it worth it?

    One thing I would add that is relevant is, I also have Amazon Prime, which comes with a snotload of free music (and video).

    December is the One to remember

    The quote notification needs to be way more annoying than it is, and it needs to keep going off until canceled, or after 5 minutes.

    Apple Music, is it worth it?

    That's it exactly - the record companies make records and sell them, and the recording artists make records to promote themselves and their music. The artists, except for the mega stars, make very little off the recordings. They even have to pay the record label back for the sturio time. A...

    Apple Music, is it worth it?

    A few points... Artists, creative types, will create, no matter the business model. A very, very, very lucky few will be able to make a living doing their art. And a tiny fraction of those will become stars in their field. Led Zeppelin was Led Zeppelin long before they made their first...
