We all know how experienced he is and no one doubts he's gamed it through. But he cannot control every aspect, he can only make his best bet. It may be that he simply thought it was a better bet to indict in Florida and risk Cannon than to get tied up and endlessly delayed by a venue fight if he indicted in DC. Like you, I don't know if he ended up with the weakest outcome of many or if he is loaded with silver bullets.

What is missing from your analysis is the defined mechanism. Sometimes the wrong people get the wrong slots on important loads and there is not jack shit anyone can do about it.

I'm afraid you're right. Of course there are any number of sudden experts offering up rock solid pathways to get her off the case but from what I've read, that I believe, that's a damn tough pull. My strategy would be an end run outside the system. Find some way -or better someone- to get her to see that her Supreme Court audition is a very long shot play but that a distinguished judicial career with favors owed is in hand; the alternative being huge embarrassment and ignominy. Just recuse and be a hero.

Sometime prior to December 20, 1860?

What Wendy shouldn't have said, I think. Please reread my reply to post #3394 in this thread which references our original conversation where I asked : "Did you vote for Trump? Did you vote for Palin? Did you vote for Bush? I'll bet you did for a hat trick". You then claimed to have never stepped into the box and pulled the R lever. I then asked "Would that mean that in each of the three presidential elections I referenced you voted for the D candidates?" Based on your postings here I am of the belief that you would typically vote a straight R ticket and would not be the type to throw away your vote for President. So what is your answer? Are you flat denying that you voted R in those elections?

That'll be helpful. Nothing like having a narrow, bigoted point of view, posed as education and then force fed by an irrefutable authority figure.

That she's even in the mix now is already a devastating blow to our reputation. If she needs to be removed it will be widely be seen as political both here and abroad and the interpretations that will come will weaken our nation. Maybe, if we lived in a rational world, her fellow jurists would take her aside and convince her that doing the right thing is the important thing. I'm not holding my breath.

We are going to look so dumb if she even gets to open her stupid mouth once at the trial. Even if she tries to play it straight she doesn't know her ass from a gavel and our vaunted Justice system will have placed her at the head of the most important trial thus far in American history. You called it: what a banana republic.

Yet.

The kind of moron has been determined and is now widely known. All that remains is pretending our reasoning will somehow enlighten one or two of said morons. BTW, what is your success rate?

But REASONABLE Republicans!

And now back to fair and balanced:

Thanks but shouldn't we let Bill answer for himself?

Except that in this very thread on June 6 Bill posted that he has never stepped into the box and pulled the R lever: "Again, no, assuming things again. Not good. I've never stepped into the box and pulled the R lever." When asked if that meant that he voted D in certain Presidential elections it was just crickets. Maybe it's because they don't have levers anymore in South Carolina voting booths or maybe it means something else but from what I've taken from his posts the thought that he didn't vote R in those elections never crossed my inquiring mind.

Good point. That's not even a decent school shooting. No biggie.

After Jan 6 I think a lot of them should be in the cell with him. Unbelievable after all of this fucking around that voila!, he draws Judge Cannon. If she tosses Corcoran's notes or some other similar BS I am going to cork.

If you mean total, everlasting peace with our existence I am quite convinced that's unachievable; a fact that hasn't gone unnoticed by certain purveyors of eternal happiness. But if you put some effort into things and accept that what makes you at peace with something may not work for everyone else, you just might find yourself at peace with enough things to be happy. For example, last night I captured another Gecko for the boat. Doing it feels a bit wrong or even larcenous but I'm at peace with that so it makes me happy. Most people don't want them on the boat. They can be pains in the ass hiding in the running rigging just waiting to get mashed on the next tack so you need to coax them out of their hidey-hole which takes time but they scurry away comically so I'm at peace with that. The other thing is they leave small, almost rice grain sized turds everywhere. They're black with white tips and sometimes stick in place. That grosses out some people but I know that every one of those turds represents a couple dozen mosquitos and other biting things that are in the jungle so I'm at peace with it, and it makes me happy. The point being, obviously, that you really can never know what will give you peace or from where it will come but if you look for it hard enough, instead of waiting for it to come as a gift, then someday you just might be happy.

One C-17 can transport 3 Bradley Fighting Vehicles. We have 223 C-17's and 4000 Bradley's in storage. The good news is that BFV's protect the trained men and crews from mines and artillery so all that is lost are surplus and easily replaceable assets. спасибо

Are you actually arguing that all nozzles should conform to a standard? I'm not at peace with that.

No one. The consensus seems to be that you have one at most. While you are compiling your mid year ipso facto please also take a look outside. Also, get ready to take a look at what's on the shelve's at the local dollar store. From where I'm reporting, not that Mifflin County, Pennsyltuckey isn't the end all, there is a serious water shortage problem that is associated with you know what. And it's affecting the freakin' Panama Canal, yo. Yep, they've already stopped some traffic on the NeoPanamax channel owing to a record low of water in lake Gatun. You'll recall from you day's on latrine duty that water flows downhill, same at the locks, goddamn! Some operators are already shortening, and or, redistributing loads etc. and looking at other routes. Now, I don't know, but I'm guessing that AR-15's and ammo aren't yet coming from China so you're good. But it is something to think about.

Yes, he does. Ukraine is currently advancing on Tokmak and has penetrated the first of three defensive lines. That didn't happen for free and many more losses need to be expected. Tokmak is the hardest of many hard nuts to crack for Ukraine but road access to large Ukrainian cities under Russian control and a chance to isolate the Crimea are tasty prizes. Maybe Tokmak is a faint to draw resources, there are 7 other heavy points of contact, but don't forget that Russia is huge, they care nothing about how many mobiks are killed, and they have gigantic reserves of artillery, etc... More importantly they only have their equivalent of Fox News. Be hopeful but not glib.

Own goal.

That was the best advice you can get. I've operated a half dozen 182's and two 206's running jumpers and no way would I operate a factory T-206. If you just must have a 206 for the airframe look for a 300HP conversion (IO-550D) or the IO-550P 310HP engine. But even if you find the 206 of your dreams you'd still be able to field at least two sweet 182's for the money and have back up. And, because it's my rant, find airplanes with wet wing fuel tanks 182Q or later for safety.

Nope. Had to google him. Dude has a shorter wiki page than I do. If he's into self help books that's not for me: I don't like to read them, I like to create the need.

You just argued that home schooling is how the entire nation should educate their kids. Care to walk that back?
