She’s not a “judge” in the sense of working in a court and holding trials. In TX, “judge” is the title they give to what is basically their county commissioner.
The “county judge“ in a Texas county is essentially the equivalent of being the mayor of the county. I think you folks call it the “parish president.“
A county commissioner is just a county commissioner. Every county has multiple commissioners. One for each precinct

Please refrain from posting pics of her arse. In my mind canon, she is not a victim of the plus-size arse that normally comes standard with the big rack.
Thank you.
Thank you.

It would be up to Congress to take Home Rule back and thus “federalize” the District.

The UK's armed forces consist of approximately 181,000 personnel. Approximately 3x what you claim.Just going by what ChatGPT told me.
The number that you quoted is fairly close to the number of the personnel in the British active duty army only.
quote:anyone who uses the term “genocide“ in the context of the current conflict clearly has no understanding whatsoever as to the meaning of that termquote:No such people or state has ever existed in the history of the world.
genocide of the Palestinians
In any case, this nonsense in the reply was once mildly amusing. I thought people were actually saying it tongue-in-cheek. Clearly, I was wrong about that.
Modern Palestinians share about 60 to 70% of their DNA with the ancient Canaanites and Phoenicians. They and their ancestors have lived on that same plot of land (along with the ancestors of the current Jews) for at least 3000 years and probably longer. Pretending otherwise is just stupid.
No, that does not remotely justify their barbaric behavior over the last 70 or 80 years. I say that because some midwit was almost certain to try to raise that “response.“

I googled it just today. Care to guess how many active duty members Great Britain current has? 74K!
This includes the British Army, Royal Navy, Royal Air Force, and Royal Marines. In 2025, the British Army had around 109,000 personnel, the Royal Navy had 37,900, and the Royal Air Force had 34,830. about 140,000 of them are "active duty."
Yes, too small for a country with the population of Great Britain.
I will never understand those who shrink into themselves at the tiniest hint of bloodshed.
Sometimes, truly overwhelming force is the ONLY appropriate response to heinous actions by one's opponents. Israel has not "gone there" yet, but at this point I would not blame them if they were to do so.

In the 1980s, NATO fielded about 3.5mm troops in Europe, of which only about 300,000 were American.

quote:Your understanding of litigation is cute. Just chant "discovery" and lawsuits disappear. Kinda like a reverse Beetlejuice.
Disney settled with Gina Carano. They were scared of discovery.
Discovery in this case has been ongoing for a year. In all likelihood, as in EVERY OTHER LAWSUIT, it is the RESULTS of that discovery which (in part) brought about a settlement. We don't know WHICH WAY that discovery influenced the settlement, because its terms are (and will certainly remain) confidential.
quote:Where do you people GET this stuff?
for 70 years they never spent a dime toward NATO
Did a lot of NATO countries spend less than was prudent on their militaries, especially after the fall of the Soviet Union? Absolutely.
But "never spent a dime?" Jeebus. How old are you? 25?
In the 1970s and 1980s, the Bundeswehr was seriously badass, until their political leaders got distracted by absorbing their Eastern cousins rather than maintaining their military.
