I meant being one no one has ever heard of. I don’t know this guy or think anything about him.

Being famous seems kind of annoying. I’d rather have all the perks of being a billionaire with all the anonymity I want when I want it.

The endless genealogies were the most boring part. What book in the OT is mostly just genealogies? Ruth or something? No, Ruth was the super short one. Either way, I couldn’t. I had to skip it.

A lot of churches operating as DLCs these days…

Don’t forget nurse. We also leveled way up in coaching.

He was like 5’5”. He would have been given…maybe a baseball?

Don’t forget the snails! The snails! (schistosomiasis kills like 200,000 a year)

Idk, they serve a purpose. Might not be right for many, but optionality in finance isn’t a bad thing. Wish they were cheaper, but I guess I’d need to start a VA business to make that happen.

This is a little disingenuous for two reasons.

First, it was never clear immunity was guaranteed. Now it is. That certainty makes action more likely.

Second, circumstances change. He’d be a second term president, term limited out after 4 years. He would no longer be politically accountable. He has suggested he wants retribution for the things he perceives his political opponents have done to him. He sees his reputation in tatters, his fortune crumbling. You really think he will exercise self-restraint? His most ardent supporters want blood, they want punishment, they want to entrench power. What incentive does he have to exercise self-restraint?

Anyone else remember how on point information was in the US leading up to the Russian invasion? It’s almost like we spent the last 75 years building up intelligence assets in Russia or something.

I may be a POS, but if I’m walking with my kids or pushing a stroller I’m always waving you through if it means I don’t have to cross in front of a car after you go by.

Why is it always a question for voters to decide when it suits them but not when it doesn’t? Ultimately, executive branch prosecutors are subject to the ordinary course political process. If they pull that shit and piss people off their boss gets voted out. Constitutional immunity is not subject to the ordinary course political process. That now requires a constitutional amendment.

Sounds like it’s time for a good old fashioned constitutional convention.

Is it clear that anyone implementing a presidential order is also immune? I assume it’d have to be the case to give effect to the ruling, but did the opinion get into that?

No. But hypothetically, the president may be within their constitutional authority to order a drone strike on any member of Congress that meets with a foreign dignitary since the power to engage in foreign relations resides almost exclusively with the executive branch (arguably a “core power”). Obviously that’s absurd, but like we have one candidate that I don’t think anyone can say with certainty wouldn’t try to push that boundary further than some might like.

What’s most important to know is that the little part at the bottom kind of looks like Mexico and Italy had a baby.

For all the atrocious failures of the FO in bugling the process, at least this FO is committed to keeping the team relevant and interesting. Hopefully it works out because I’m not sure my heart can take much more 😂

Our entire existence as humans has been subject to the notion that we fall down. I see these videos and inherently get queasy about falling down into earth. I wonder whether the astronauts fear that, or if they are more afraid of going the other way.
