Who knew that a company with $770,500 of revenue, and $327.6 million of losses was going to see its stock decline? "Nobody knew investments could be so complicated."

Thoughts and prayers.

If used to construct a fully automatic weapon - yes. Those are illegal. It's not much use if you want to kill 100 people with 200 rounds. If you want to kill 100 people and you have 2000 rounds, a high vantage point and pretty much any moderately dense area, it's quite useful indeed. Or a low vantage point and known locations of people - say, a school. It's going to do the same thing as banning automatic weapons will. If you consider that useless, then yes, banning bump stocks are equally useless.

Jeez, what a glowing review. Who do I make the check out to? lol

Hi folks, While I do not always agree with them, this is why I donate to them every year: ACLU to file lawsuit against Louisiana law requiring Ten Commandments in classrooms ACLU to file lawsuit against Louisiana law requiring 10 Commandments in schools (thehill.com) Jerry Baumchen

There have been rare cases where creditors went after the owners (i.e. the shareholders) during bankruptcy proceedings. The term used is "piercing the corporate veil" and can only happen if creditors can establish that the company was formed primarily to 1) make money for the owner(s) through stock price gains, not revenue, and 2) the company was effectively inseparable from the owners, such that everyone knew that the company was really the owner. Wouldn't that be a fitting end to Trump Social.

Nice, thank you.

I say go ahead. How many kids (or teachers) can read Hebrew anyway?

>Seriously. What is simulated auto. The ATF interpreted a "single function of the trigger" to mean a "single movement of the trigger", and since the trigger moved for each shot, the Akins Accelerator was deemed to not be a machinegun.[16] Later, in 2006, the ATF reversed course and reinterpreted the language to mean "single pull of the trigger", which reclassified the Akins Accelerator as a machinegun. The Eleventh Circuit Court of Appeals upheld the new interpretation in February 2009.[17] Wiki Bump Stock >We really need a three year discussion on function vs. pull? According to the "letter of the Law," or combination of parts designed and intended, for use in converting a weapon into a machinegun, Welcome to the Gun Responsibility Act. Let's ask Congress to re-write the NFA to include that process and criteria for all weapons.

I'd argue that you're overthinking it. I try not to ascribe Cooper with the ability to play 4D Chess. What if Flo had change for him right then and there? I don't see the need to create extra scenarios with Flo. It's likely he knew the stews would be sitting in their jump seats directly behind him once the plane began to taxi to the runway. Recall that she was already sitting down in her jump seat when Cooper passed her the note. She said she had been buckled for about 30 seconds when it occurred. So he really never needed to have any superfluous interactions with her. Also, I don't believe Flo was ever aware that he spilled his drink. Seems like something she'd have mentioned in her 302. I believe that Cooper had already downed his drink by the time he spilled it. I speculate that all he spilled was the ice that remained, which of course is pretty easy to clean up yourself. No need to get a stewardess involved.

Joe, I find myself needing to ask, do you own a weapon with a bump stock or similar device?

The case has not expired and this is not a media competition. Ryan's work should not be seen exclusively as Coopertainment. Going through the 302’s and the case evidence is labor intensive. I would trade the labor of 8 weeks or more of scrolling through 45,000 pages and picking them apart, but not the experience and insight of that effort. Ryan’s done this hard work also, but he took that experience and added to it the additional step of producing content. He's done a great thing in the last year of synthesized a number of areas within the 302's. On the whole his productions have made the reported facts of the case and some base assertions of the 302's vastly more consumable and accessible to a general audience. No one in the history of the vortex has ever drilled in on the 302's like this and then taken the time to create the content to bring an awareness of these reported facts to the Vortex. He’s myth busting here also, helping us with historical discovery and context, and keeping us on the known facts. I think because he is putting himself out publicly that he is conservative in his assessments and applies a high standard to what he produces. After all he’s got to stick to the facts to avoid being criticized for creating myth. And I have not seen a single post dinging him for misrepresenting or misreporting the known facts or holding his thoughts or beliefs out as fact. Media has always been part of the investigative process here. Carr used the media to reinvigorate the public interest in the case and hopefully shake something loose. Maybe Ryan's media will shake something loose one day. "You never know"

This reminds of a West Wing episode, when an angry, influential evangelist (John Van Dyke) came by the White House: ===================================== VAN DYKE I'd like to discuss why we hear so much talk about the First Amendment coming out of this building, but no talk at all about the First Commandment. The First Commandment says "Honor thy Father". . . . JED BARTLET (shaking his head) "I am the Lord your God. Thou shalt worship no other God before me." Boy, those were the days, huh? JOHN VAN DYKE Mr. President, I'm John Van Dyke. BARTLET Yes. Reverend? VAN DYKE May I ask you a question, sir? BARTLET Of course. VAN DYKE If our children can buy pornography on any street corner for five dollars, isn't that too high a price to pay for free speech? BARTLET No. VAN DYKE Really? BARTLET On the other hand, I do think that five dollars is too high a price to pay for pornography. C.J. Why don't we all sit down? BARTLET No. Let's not, C.J. These people won't be staying that long. May I have some coffee, Mr. Lewis? Al, how many times have I asked you to denounce the practices of a fringe group that calls itself The Lambs of God? CALDWELL Sir, it's not up to me to . . . BARTLET Crap. It is up to you, Al. You, know, my wife, Abbey, she never wants me to do anything while I'm upset. [a staffer hands him coffee] Thank you, Mr. Lewis. 28 years ago, I come home from a very bad day at the State House. I tell Abbey I'm going out for a drive. I get in the station wagon, and put it in reverse, and pull out of the garage full speed. Except I forgot to open the garage door. Abbey told me to not drive while I was upset and she was right. She was right yesterday when she told me not to get on that damn bicycle while I was upset, but I did it anyway, and I guess I was just about as angry as I've ever been in my life. It seems my granddaughter, Annie, had given an interview in one of the teen magazines. And somewhere between movie stars and make-up tips, she talked about her feelings on a woman's right to choose. Now Annie, all of 12, has always been precocious, but she's got a good head on her shoulders and I like it when she uses it, so I couldn't understand it when her mother called me in tears yesterday. I said, "Elizabeth, what's wrong?" She said, "It's Annie." Now I love my family and I've read my bible from cover to cover so I want you to tell me, from what part of the Holy Scripture do you suppose the Lambs of God drew their Divine inspiration when they sent my 12 year-old granddaughter a Raggedy Ann doll with a knife stuck through its throat? [pause] You'll denounce these people, Al. You'll do it publicly. And untilyou do, you can all get your fat asses out of my White House. C.J., show these people out.
