  1. She spends a normal workday listening to BS arguments and nonsense from one side or the other. It was just another week to her.

  2. Can they extend it to a couple of years of silence?

  3. They did not ask any.

  4. They did that on their own. She just made no effort to protect them from themselves.

  6. How do I close my FB account?

  7.  @ErinsProjects  Are any of them well known vloggers with thousands of followers? Is there an obvious suspect showing up 2000 miles from their last sighting in their car? Every missing person deserves a thorough investigation, but not all will receive intense media scrutiny, media drives itself. It'd be nice if we had a world where people did not go missing, and if every crime was done as stupidly as this one, more would be solved. While I do not believe in "systemic racism", I agree that the US does have a phenomenon called "missing white girl syndrome" that looks a LOT like racism. A lot. This just isn't the incident to make that case.

  10. The "convoy" is bait to see if Ukraine still has maneuver elements in the field.

  11. Internal lines of communication. As long as the supplies hold out, the defenders are worth 10 to 1.

  12.  @chrisslater4053  As long as he did not have a warrant, all of that is legal. They cannot be compelled to discuss it.

  13. Yes, they love saying that. I have to appear monthly at my doctor ( no risk there ) I'm a senior citizen and they want me to stay home, but their LAWS require that I got to the pharmacy and wait in line there every month.(no risk there) This is what comes of letting state legislators determine rules for medical matters.

  14. I posted something about that on FB but it was taken down. Much of October will involve one sided news blackouts.

  18. They will. We're hoping that some CEO's lose a few million in bonuses. No one is going to shutter Coca Cola, but executives need to learn when to shut up.

  20. They only need it to stick well enough to get federal jurisdiction. They had enough for a fugitive warrant. Florida has basically nothing, it's a Wyoming case with federal implications due to the interstate nature. He expected to have a lot longer to play games before her body was found in a multi-state wilderness. Anyone helping him AFTER the warrant would be in world of federal hurt. Before that, anyone could give him cash, drive him around the country, introduce him to special contacts, etc. all without committing a crime. In the absence of evidence, silence is like magic.

  26. Good for you guys. The USA is going to wallow in coronavirus because we are still having trouble getting Americans to believe it is a real threat and they will refuse to do what we should do. Contrariness is in the national DNA.

  27. We know a lot more now, and most people are STILL not listening.

  28. They set him up for his evasion well before the warrant. They are in the clear, legally.

  29. Those were more civil times before TDS. Scalia got 98 votes out of 98. Remember, this same Senate already confirmed her for The Federal Court of Appeals. I am SURE that our Senators did their due diligence, as always, before voting for her.

  30.  @JohnWick-qr4yc  He made a living hunting people who already gave up every detail of their lives ( on an island ) in exchange for bail. Dog is attention seeking.

  31. No one is going to initiate a world extinction event over Ukraine; not Russia, not the USA. When Russia invades Poland, they will make the same threats and we will stand and watch. If the US sent waves of fighters to clear the skies over Ukraine, Putin would be put-out, but he would not be facing an existential threat and not commit suicide over it. Nukes only exist to protect their owners from existential threats. If Ukraine won today, Russia would carry on tomorrow.

  32. If he resists, a LOT have people have died over less. Al Capone went to Alcatraz over taxes. Feds don't play games.

  33. It's a national emergency. Everyone is going to take a hit, including mortgage lenders and landlords. Some special unemployment compensation rules will be in the pipeline shortly. Wanna know what will REALLY ruin your finances? Three weeks in ICU. Yes,the old die, but a lot of those young folks live because they are strong enough to spend three weeks drowning in their body fluids.

  41. We got really lucky and contained SARS. Ebola was never a threat to countries that have clean water, sewers and sanitary funeral practices. It'd been around in it's native habitat for centuries, until the media discovered it. COVID-19 was NOT contained and unlike Ebola is HIGHLY contagious. If you want to blame the media for desensitizing you to threats, they DID. But this one is going to make the Spanish Flu look like Hay Fever.

  42. It was edited by CNBC, they actually thought that this video makes the Democrats look good.

  43. The 1983 U.S. Senate bombing was a bomb explosion at the United States Senate on November 7, 1983 The attack led to heightened security in the DC metropolitan area, and the inaccessibility of certain parts of the Senate Building. Six members of the radical left-wing Resistance Conspiracy were arrested in May 1988 and charged with the bombing, as well as related bombings of Fort McNair and the Washington Navy Yard which occurred April 25, 1983, and April 20, 1984, respectively. After a four and a half years investigation, federal agents arrested six members of the Resistance Conspiracy, on May 12, 1988, and charged them with bombings of the Capitol, Fort McNair, and the Washington Navy Yard. On December 6, 1990, federal judge Harold H. Greene sentenced Laura Whitehorn and Linda Evans to lengthy prison terms for conspiracy and malicious destruction of government property. The court dropped charges against three co-defendants, two of whom (including Susan Rosenberg) were serving extended prison sentences for related crimes. Whitehorn was sentenced to 20 years; Evans, to 5 years, concurrent with 35 years for illegally buying guns. On January 20, 2001, the day he left office, President Bill Clinton commuted Evans's and Rosenberg's sentences. Today these terrorists give leftist lectures on college campuses and help organize leftist protests.

  44.  @Barb4sale  Wait and see. The warrant was the tool that gave the FBI unfettered authority to hunt him. Interstate bank felony. Its not like his name is Kennedy, or Bush, or Clinton. Right now he's D.B. Cooper. And the FBI could use a "win" after years of screwups and scandals.

  47.  Arthur Johnston  That is why the USA is going to bury more people than China and Europe combined. Selfish spreaders. It's part of our culture. While you are just moving on with your life, be sure to say goodbye to your grandparents.

  48.  @JCrow-kz4nw  Yes, as we all know he always claimed to be an expert virologist. Of course he is not responding to the advice given to him by the CDC, good or bad. THIS train wreck belongs to the CDC railroad. If he were a SMARTER president, he'd have told the CDC to stand back and observe and let the WHO takeover.

  49. After so may people get it and recover that it has few fresh victims, it "blows over". That is NOT the ideal outcome.

  50. Where? Luxemburg? The USA averages about 45,000-50,000 flu deaths a year. Of course that is irrelevant because coronavirus is going to make the flu look like hay fever once it really gets started.

  51. You probably can't afford three weeks in the hospital either. Try not to visit your grandma while you are collecting germs from others and spreading them about.

  52. They can test for it. Evidently the CDC has problems doing that, but testing works.

  53. "I'd have conquered the "Breadbasket of Europe", but I was afraid that some of my bank accounts would be frozen." Is THIS what the US State Dept thinks?

  54. The Democrats and Republicans MOSTLY agree on most problems and many solutions. It's just a shame that the Democrats stopped speaking to the Republicans. I do not blame the origins of that solely on the Democrats, just it's persistence.

  55.  @MLinaresSR47  "Do you accept that Covid-19 is infectious?" That sort of insightful , thought provoking, astute question.? Yeah, the audio was fine, and yet, somehow painful.

  56. That room full of lawyers, both disbarred and licensed, all know that she cannot speak on any potential case. She would be in violation of ethics and could become ineligible to be a judge, possibly even disbarred. That was their intent, but no one nominated for the Supreme Court ever responds to those questions. Judges can only express legal opinions on specific cases before the court after hearing testimony, reading briefs and examining precedents.

  61. It will infect most people and lose access to victims and "burn out" naturally long before a vaccine is available. Perhaps in a year. A few more people will get it next year and it will be added to our vaccine list the next. Since everyone will bury someone that they knew, the vaccine wont really be hard to distribute.

  74.  @Barb4sale  That's just the federal hook that gives the FBI jurisdiction for a national manhunt. Wyoming did not need murder case with a POI 2000 miles away.

  81. I am a conservative. I have opinions and desires. Those desires may not always line up with The Constitution and I would expect my Supreme Court to ALWAYS follow The Constitution. Like I say to my liberal contemporaries: "There is an amendment process, use it". What I cannot endure is a court that makes up the law as it goes. That is the job of our accountable elected officials.

  90.  @Angryjenkinsdigital  Your are correct. Those who do not make the cut for Harvard, UMass or Boston College do often attend Boston U. Harry Chu should take a look at the University of Georgia. A very old school with a long historical connection to Yale.

  91. Within that context, she had used the term in a paper to differentiate between precedents so beyond debate that no case could ever be expected before the court. No one brings cases to the court expecting to restore Jim Crow laws, for instance. That's DONE. The Senator then brought up another case asking if it were a super-precedent. The mere fact that she thought it worth discussing rendered it NOT a super-precedent, as defined in the paper and earlier question.

  97. Ordering millions of tests ( weeks late ) does not = "contained". The CDC dropped the ball. Was it due to incompetence, overconfidence or just setting the President up for the blame over politics? We'll never know, but a LOT of people will die for it.

  100. With the American "They can't tell me what to do" attitude, the USA will have more cases and deaths than China and Europe combined. I'm truly surprised that schools are closing. Evidently state epidemiologists are giving Governors better advice than the CDC has been giving the White House.

  101.  @Barb4sale  Do you think that will be the total charges after he is arrested? That interstate bank warrant gives the feds full authority to hunt him. Wyoming can't effectively do that.

  102.  @DizGoneWild916  Not to worry ,big businesses have discovered us and are moving here, to a place where a higher percentage of the population are willing to work for a living. I did not understand what you mean by "broke asses" how many billions in unfunded liabilities are California,Illinois and New York carrying on the books as an unofficial "balloon payment" to stick on business and industry in the near future? Yes, we have more Federal cash inflow, mostly because we welcomed large military installations. ( That distorts the numbers) Some because American firms just "fly over" while foreign companies actually drop in and then move here. I don't know where you live, but where I live, my upper middle class home is property tax free because I am over 65. What are your property taxes? We don't need to create extra business incentives ( yet we sometimes do) because our NORM of business taxes are very low, and our real estate costs are comparatively low. We can provide the workforce. I could commute to any of three universities or four colleges or two vocational colleges from my home, and did. You underestimate your competition and empires, some political,some business have paid for that same mistake. Alabama and Georgia are on the field to play and some big blue states have put us in a position of advantage due to your long history of mismanagement. When you hear the economic boom of the 21st Century, the sound will be coming from Alabama, Georgia and Florida.

  103.  @DizGoneWild916  Well it was better back when we made steel here, but unlike the rust belt,we managed to not tax our remaining businesses into fleeing south. When bad treaties negotiated by the Government closed our entire textile industry,we carried on without taxing our citizens into moving away. Watch the South become the economic engine of the 21st Century because we LIKE doing business.

  104.  @douwee.855  A few more big tech companies like NYC hates will cure that.

  105. We did lose the textile industry overseas. I thought the goal was to keep the profits inside the USA. Bangladesh is even cheaper than Mexico, if you just hate Americans having jobs.

  107. Only fools believe that corporations pay taxes. Corporate taxes are passed to the consumer, so Amazon consumers worldwide would have been sending money to NY. Yes, employees pay federal taxes. With FEDERAL taxes, who pays and how much is irrelevant to the State and City Government. What NY lost was State and Local Taxes plus the bogus corporate taxes from consumers. Plus the re-investment of cash in the community by small businesses building up to accommodate the needs of Amazon employees. Yes, Amazon was going to kill local jobs, their 25k employees were not going to buy a refrigerator locally, they were going to order their meals from Amazon. They had no intention of taking advantage of the well known high quality clothing available in NYC. They were certainly not going to live in new or renovated apartments ,built and renovated by locals. The money made by locals providing those goods and services were surely going to also limit their spending to Amazon purchases, as though people are more inclined to buy online if the online company is next door. Your, killin' me, Smalls.

  112.  @ihatem2970  The banks don't want assets, they have bills to pay also, and most of them took a huge loss on a long round of forclosures already. Most things are going to be in a brief timeout. The government ( of morons ) will be playing whack-a-mole for a while trying to prevent the worst of personal disasters. Some people and some businesses will fall through the cracks. It's called a "disaster" because there is mass suffering.

  113.  @seanorourke534  Services can be "pushed back" in a manner of speaking, by adding 10% to future bills. It doesn't matter what flavor of disaster we face, disasters really hurt people.

SCOTUS does not exist to settle political arguments, but legal ones.
