The current plan is obviously economic death by strangulation, hoping that Iran will eventually concede and give up the Uranium and stop attacking ships in the strait and allow full travel

This plan has a tremendous track record of success in Cuba. And Iraq. And North Korea.

So who put their hoo hoo dilly in your cha cha?!

And jail (where you are before conviction) is considered to be worse than prison (where you are after conviction) by about 99% of people who have been in both jail and prison.

Well if jail is so bad you are welcome to accept our plea offer, Mr. Technically Still Innocent.

I also just did criminal jury duty and the entire voir dire process was so fricked.

1. The jury is not involved in sentencing. The sentence shouldn’t even be part of the discussion. Whether you could render a guilty verdict that carries life was 80% of the voir dire.

2. Before knowing anything about the case, I learned where the prosecutor is from, who is parents are, why he moved to and loves New Orleans . . .

3. Why in the world do we need to spend 8 hours educating 100 people on reasonable doubt, justified homicide, and the second amendment. You have a random jury pool. Pick 14 names from that pool. Do you know anyone involved in this case or a compelling reason why you can’t serve. No, that’s the jury. We are all dumber for opening the floor to 100 clowns from New Orleans to wax philosophical and it did does not produce a better jury. It is an exercise is unnecessary lawyering and poisoning the jury.

4. To the verbose attorney who suggested he couldn’t be impartial because he defends cops . . . The judge should have disbarred you on the spot. You, an officer of the court, who stands upon a system based on impartially, can’t be impartial? Get fricked. I’d have picked you 10 times over the single moms with no childcare.

No idea the name of it, but one of my absolute favorite meals was okonomiyaki is a little restaurant bar nearish to the baseball stadium. It was game day, we didn’t have tickets but was fun to just be around the stadium. We ducked into this tiny little place and just had a killer meal.

I may or may not have brought shame upon my family and name trying to find a scalper to buy a couple of tickets. I don’t think the Japanese do that.

How much do we think it is worth to recompense a citizen that is perp walked out of his house by ICE in the middle of winter and wearing nothing but a robe and his damned dirty undies?

If a tax return release is $1.7 billion invasion of privacy . . . .

President Trump’s sacrifice to give reparations to J6 prisoners! He will drop his $10B lawsuit against the IRS (that wrongfully released his tax returns) to fund $1.8B to the J6 Prisoners!

Reparations for people treated unfairly by the government are on the table?

you ever been to hakone? any onsen recommendations if you have?

Will add - himeji castle is a day trip from Kyoto and I loved it.

The bamboo forest and arishiyama were about the only thing we did in Japan that I thought was a little overrated and would skip with limited time in Kyoto.

Find a traditional onsen. Soaking naked with a bunch of Japanese dudes is . . . kind of great.

I think this is a year where home team optimism and national perception are far apart on the saints.

We all saw Shough and think we have a great QB.

The national fan base largely doesn’t know who Shough is and see a 6 win team without much offensive firepower.

I see absolutely nothing wrong with what he said. It wasn’t classy, but it definitely wasn’t anti-Semitic. He was expressing his anger at the Jews for their actions in trying to unseat Massie.

Making an individual stand to account for the actions of a group of people is the basic Roux for all racism.

This young scholar attempted to make a Jew Roux but started with a Catholic Trinity.
