I did condo law litigation for over a decade. Every contractor, engineer, architect or anyone else who even looked at this condo is going to get sued.

These things and the people who wear them deserve each other.

So would we conjugate the verb "to trump"?

Pelosi needs to leak a rumor that she's going to appoint AOC chair of the select committee - partly so whoever she does appoint will look friendly and bipartisan, but really just for shits and giggles.

ex-significant other, to be exact.

I don't think this is appeasement. Pelosi is playing the PR game. If she can find a Republican who is anti-Trump, and push that person into the spotlight, it could be very useful.

No, their purpose will be to turn a serious effort into a clown show. That's not a good thing.

She would do her damndest to slow everything down to a crawl, interfere anywhere she could. No seat there for Marjorie Traitor Guam.

In bridge parlance β€˜trump’ is a noun. β€˜Ruff’ is the verb, as in: β€œOy vey, you ruffed my king!” We’re now playing in β€˜no trump,’ thanks to Joe Biden!

Norm Goldman, Esq. used this appellation for years on his radio show.

That’s one reason that I didn’t have that much confidence in him other than a seasoned politician from corporate-friendly Delaware. Like many, I didn’t know until recently that he had overcome stuttering, I’ll give a mulligan for anyone’s spoken gaffe if they acknowledge it.

I underestimated Biden profoundly, and I’m happy to admit it.

That will be their purpose no matter whom they put on the committee. Might as well give them all the rope they need to hang themselves.

There were somewhere between three and five. Andy Biggs and Paul Gosar were two.

No, you are missing a significant difference. The South was *unhappy* that Lincoln was elected, unhappy enough that they did not want to continue as a part of the country-- but they did not delude themselves into thinking that Lincoln had not been elected. The contagious insanity which has led a double-digit percentage of the country to detach from reality is something new, and in some ways worse than 1861: whether it will lead to a comparable death toll remains to be seen, but though it looks unlikely now it is not out of the question.
