    The Trump Card...

    (this post moved to this thread, from another thread, because of a combination of poster idiocy and a smartphone) Here's an interesting piece regarding former CIA head Brennan. When confirmations surfaced of routine, wide-scale unmasking of names of those of the Trump team, my initial gut...

    Welcome to the No Job Zone. Edit: FWIW, I think Dana Perino is more than capable to host that time slot. And she knows what she's talking about. I can also see them moving up The Tuck an hour and then put Perino in an hour later. I just hope they don't bring in the Beady Eyed Little Weasel...

    Consignee rejected load because seal was missing.

    Of course it can be entered as evidence. It happens all the time. And in many cases, it is conclusive. If wife records her husband admitting he cheated on her, he's screwed. If someone gets recorded admitting they robbed a bank, they're going to jail. Audio evidence is subject to the sane...

    Consignee rejected load because seal was missing.

    In most cases, that's incorrect. It depends on the state in which the recording took place. Eleven states require the consent of every party to a phone call or conversation in order to make the recording lawful. These "two-party consent" laws have been adopted in California, Connecticut...

    The Trump Card...

    Easy though it may be, I'm not sure the Washington Post is the credible arbiter of Trump's credibility. The former Trump supporters who have jumped off the train are largely the alt-right wacko fringe and do not represent Trump or his agenda. The are a small an insignificant species. Here's a...

    April in Load One

    Apparently there was some kind of gas leak underground. I haven't really read anything on it, so I don't know.

    April in Load One

    I-85 is closed through downtown Atlanta, and now this happened to I-20, inbound from the East. I've gone through Atlanta five times in the last week.

    The Trump Card...

    Yeah, technically that's true. An immigrant, be it a person or any other organism, is someone who moves into a new habitat, usually for permanent residence. A migrant is the same, only usually for less permanent residency. People get all bent out of shape over the language. "You can't be all...

    The Trump Card...

    On a side note, politicians should be prohibited, under penalty of a buttwhipping, from using the phrase "we're going to redouble our efforts." It's stupid. It means, "We have thus far failed so spectacularly at doing our job that doubling our effort isn't good enough, we have to quadruple...

    The Trump Card...

    Well, the link in the post above yours is to the original Washington Post article on it. In any case, even tracking Trump's campaign promises isn't all that easy, as pretty much everything he said as a candidate often gets construed as an actual promise by the mainstream media if they can use...

    Trump's ICE is just out of control. They're "emboldened in a way that [we] have never seen." Uhm, OK.

    The Trump Card...

    As two different games. Far as I know, Obama never competed against Trump. In terms of pissing off Nancy Pelosi, it's Trump 73, Obama 0. The Getting Healthcare Through Congress game isn't even over yet. It did. While at the same time the national debt doubled. That's like winning a game, but...

    The Trump Card...

    Obama scored a bin Laden touchdown in the 4th quarter. Still lost the game 52-6, though. Couldn't even make the PAT. All the covert killings and drone strikes were little more than first downs, some with large gains, but he still kept having to punt the ball.

    The Trump Card...

    The War Powers Act (Resolution, technically) nor the AUMF have been tested in court, and I don't think either side wants a SCOTUS ruling on either one, because it could go either way. Congress is the only one with the authority to declare war, but then again declaring war and commencing war are...

    The Trump Card...

    The burden of proof lies where it lies. I, too am content to let the investigations play out. 90% of congressional investigations are politically motivated, anyway, and most turn out to be 90% BS. And since we know that the same percentage of stuff we read in the media is also BS, there's...
