Barr did a lot of questionable things, but Garland has to deal with the fact that the courts don't look kindly on the government changing its position on everything simply because of a partisan change in leadership. It's all part of the grand fiction of the legal world. If a lawyer puts an argument before the court, it's a good faith legal argument based on solid reasoning, and not politics. Shift-change flip-flops threaten that illusion.
I understand all that.
Good point. The problem is that Garland is going to be before these same judges on lots of issues, and he can't disavow Barr's position all the time, so he'll have to pick his battles.
"AOC and VP both willingly lied about the need and propriety of enforcing immigration laws to gain and retain political power. They also called anyone who supported enforcement of immigration laws “racists” and “white supremacists.”
Doesn’t matter. You can plead in the alternative. You’re not stuck with any position. He can pursue barr’s arguments as well as any he wants to proffer. Doesn’t have to disavow anything. That’s the point and benefit of discovery - to sort out claims and defenses
It would take days to find the links to all of your lying. How many words a day do you post? That could take a lot of time.
I've learned a ton from TMP over the years.
A stroke must have occurred - bc as a poster he/she is as absurdly partisan as Zeke and as susceptible to wild bot conspiracy shit as any Q loon. Neither reflect intelligence. What’s more no highly intelligent person invests their time posting dumb 20,000 times on a message board. Or has that much disdain for “old white guys.” Or stalks vpm. Beyond idiotic. Mental. “highly intelligent” people don’t invest their time in that fashion.
Glad to see that of all the posters on here, you specifically regard COH, Stoll, and yourself as "intelligent", and the qualities you perceive that group to possess are the earmarks of intelligent people.
all indicia of intelligence. every last bit. You and yours should be profoundly proud. none of which is in keeping with the liberal elite bs mistaken for intelligence. Tracking Q and all the nonsense that bears zero to 99.99999 percent of peoples’ actual lives. Not intelligent. just an opinion.
Meh...my unwise liberal dad always taught us kids to not feel too much pride in doing what you ought to do, and I agree.
Damn, your accomplishments are inspirational! How you could do so much and remain humble and respectful of others who have not been nearly as successful is truly amazing. And to be able to post on this board nonstop from morning to night while still running an incredibly successful business just adds to your impressive list of talents. To top it all off, you and Stoll have accumulated so much wealth you could “buy out a wife”!
i'm stuck in front of a computer 12 hours a day. it's a nice distraction. but congrats on your 3,662 content free post. you taking a break from your "you're an idiot" posts?
As for TMP’s basketball savvy. You can almost pinpoint the moment in time he learned about basketballreference.com and started regurgitating back to the posters on the free board.
He’s a 55 year old Asian dude with daddy issueswho got beat up by German bullies as a kid. I got into way to any back & forths with him years ago until I discovered I will never understand him because I am not a miserable failure. He‘s like Will in Good Will Hunting but without the genius. He regurgitates the thoughts of others & hates everything & anybody different than him. He’d be fine if he stuck to IU basketball...
lol. but we were wrong. they are going to go back to also making little trucks like the s10 and ranger for "cheap."
Gotcha. Actually looks decent. Reminds me of the little Subaru four door trucks.
i like this post marv but sort of disagree. amazon kind of destroyed borders but technology destroyed borders. amazon used the tech of online, provided amazing opportunities for authors to self pub, and market books. borders and the independent shops were too late to that game. i love book stores; loved hanging in book stores, but americans went digital, shopped online, wanted a wider selection, and had starbucks to read at so didn't need the quiet of the bookstore. amazon gave people what they wanted, including authors who were ignored a platform to publish and sell and market their own books, while borders was too late to react.
I too love bookstores, and loved Borders. I even bought their e-reader. But Amazon could leverage toothpaste, crackers, socks, to keep their book prices low and of course has very speedy delivery. A local Borders just could not afford to carry How to Avoid Large Ships.
For sure. And when amazon partnered with lightning source and others they opened up an entirely new revenue stream. Print on demand, etc
I didn't have any sympathy for Borders or Barnes & Noble. They're the ones who put places like Howard's out of business.
disagree, my family has been having problems with immigrants ever since we came to this country
I have 6 payments left, So there.
They killed Morganstern's as well, so I am finding it ironic that it is coming back after Borders and Barnes and Noble died in Bloomington
TMP is one of the more intelligent posters around these parts, but if he ever put any effort into a Water Cooler post, I never saw it. When he shows up at the WC, it's just to troll. But check out his work on the hoops forum. There, he's only trolling about 95% of the time, and the other 5% are gold, Jerry, gold!
I’m surprised to hear Barnes and noble died there. I would have thought there’d be enough people in bloomington to support it.
Barnes and Noble died a different death, Aldi's offered their landlord more money.
