So has everyone figured out what the new ICC nym / persona is, or are we just pushing that under the rug?

This keeps coming up and I will repeat that it could be very destructive to name the wrong person. The suspicions will drive new people away and possibly chase away some regulars. That unnamed person is a real problem and people have a good reason to be concerned. But these discussions just feed that person's ego. They love it, so let's stop feeding that. Just be assured it is being looked at but not in public, not in the comments. Thank you.

Scalito and Clarence are tap dancing as fast as they can in the background to slow this down. I am of two minds- first, I want it sent back to get the charges settled in court, hopefully with Defendant PAB found guilty. Second- You know "judge" Loose Cannon in FLA will find for DEFPAB since he has made the same motion there, then the 11th circuit will weigh in, and unless they copy the DC court findings word for word we will have two differing decisions which draws the SCrOTUS in pretty much automatically. Delay, delay, delay.

Mr. Snot and I are meeting another couple for dinner tonight. We've been friends for close to 45 years. There will be ridonkulous amounts of food, cocktails and laughter, and I've been grinning all day in anticipation. And my wonderful hubby is driving designate-ly, so no one will die in a horrific accident, always a plus.

Expand full comment

I can't trust any of our so-called friends not to be complete political idiots, anymore, so I avoid socializing. It's a little sad, but it's their own faults for acting that way. Politics was NEVER allowed to be discussed at social gatherings. Now, it's a shot across the bow, and I ain't playing.

Expand full comment

Same here. How these people can broadcast their political beliefs to all and not consider looking stupid kills me.

Expand full comment

And I don't want to talk about ANY politics. Just, let's talk about something more pleasant. My husband has a friend who would not stop just poking the bear with his ignorant bullshit, and now, he's not welcome here. Nor his wife. It's his own fault. He made me loathe him, like, that was his mission. Even my BIL thinks he's an asshole, which was SO good to hear. I'm not the only one.

I have made it clear to my husband that I will not be in a place where one or both of them is also there. That means no camping, no baseball games, and social gatherings.

And it could have all been avoided if this guy just had been polite, and, (and this is key), IF my husband had shut him down. He didn't. It hurt me deeply, so now I will forever avoid those situations. Again, not my fault.

And when anyone asks why, I tell them exactly that.

saw something on Rawstory that said trump's trying to get those two cases "dismissed". Hello, judgment has already been rendered. Not sure whether it was just the lack of legal understanding of the rawstory staff or the lack of legal understanding by trump's "counsel".

annoying.

He's clearly got bad lawyering. They play for the headlines. It does leave one scratching their head at times. This was Newsweek, big on clickbait. Kaplan last line says the Plaintiff deserves to weigh in. So maybe their will be more to the story. It's unclear if the 30 day grace period has started?
