"What is it with liberals and wanting to control every damn aspect of your life?"

Last time I checked, it was the liberals who wanted to let you smoke weed, have safe and legal abortions, physician assisted suicide, single payer healthcare, and free college tuition...

Somebody else opposed all that... 🤔 Who was it again?

And you have to keep subscribing if you want to keep playing them... Yeah... not free.

Tarrio is the one I'm waiting on... Good riddance to bad rubbish!

I cancelled my Plus and Xbox Live accounts a couple of years ago when Bungie ganked Destiny 2 and there was no point continuing.

Neither service really seems worth maintaining. Oh the "free" games that either a) you already own or b) weren't worth playing in the first place? (yawn).

Yeah, but that's JUST for Chesebro and only because he requested an expedited trial.

"Speedy trial" requests have to start before 11/3 or be thrown out. Sidney Powell has requested one as well and Willis has requested hers be rolled in with Chesebro.

Willis is actually willing to do ALL of them starting 10/23, but we're waiting on the judges ruling.

No trial date for Georgia yet, that will be next once everyone pleads and has their "I wanna be in federal court!" requests denied.

Must be nice to be able to go "Oh, sorry, my bad, that legal filing I made 9 years ago was 'incorrect', here, let me 'amend' it..."

I'm sure I would TOTALLY be allowed to do that in our non-two-tiered justice system...

Of course they did, nobody makes seat belts that small!

My grandmother's pancakes:

1 Qt. Buttermilk
2 TBS Baking Soda
1 TBS Salt
4 Cups Flour
2 TBS Baking Powder
1 Pkg Dry Yeast
1/4 C. Oil
6 Eggs

Put 1 quart buttermilk in large bowl and add 2 TBS Baking SODA and 1 TBS Salt.

Mix 4 cups of flour with 2 TBS Baking POWDER, stir this mixture into the buttermilk.

Add one package of dry yeast, 1/4 cup oil. Mix.

Whip 6 eggs till foamy, fold in mixture. Do not use electric mixer, use mixer tine by hand.

Pour batter into large pitcher or bowl. Cover with foil.

The next morning put a cup of milk in the pitcher to thin the batter.

Heat pan until hot. Add 3 TBS or so of oil, when water droplets sizzle in the pan it's ready. Cook pancakes in 2s or 3s. When the tops are covered in steam-holes then it's ready to flip. 2 to 3 minutes or so.

Lasts 10 days to 2 weeks in fridge. Yeast will turn black over time, this is normal. Stir batter before use.

Yeah, I'm not sure how I'd phrase it for a term limit, but you probably shouldn't be able to serve in more than 2 consecutive decades.

Sworn in in the 80s? Congrats, you're done in the 90s.

The idea that someone could serve in the 80s, 90s, 00s, 10s and 20s is absurd.

Must have been the same one I saw, they said not uncommon following a concussion serious enough to be hospitalized for it.

He's been a Senator since 1985. 38 years. 6 terms and counting.

Senators should probably be capped at 2 terms, 12 years total. That's plenty. Equivalent to 6 Congressional terms or 3 Presidential terms.

The problem is, to do this right requires a constitutional amendment.

I'm not asking you to feel sad, I'm asking you to recognize that as awful he is, he's still a human being and has other human beings who, in theory, care about him.

Quick reminder about the rules around wishing death and destruction on people.

Don't make me tap the sign.

That being said, yes, McConnell is one of the key architects of how dysfunctional our system of government has become. From using the filibuster more times during the Obama administration than all prior administrations COMBINED, to blocking a legitimately named Supreme Court Justice, not by allowing him a fair vote, but by denying him a hearing AT ALL.

BUT...

Now hear me out... BUT...

He does have three daughters, Porter, is actually an activist:

You can make fun of the guy, you can hate the guy, but before you wish death on the guy, take just a moment to consider his family and how they must feel watching him break down like this live on camera, not once, but twice.

I could have swore this was already decided, but I guess it has to be done case by case...

The money his lawyers already got. ;)

He's literally lost everything and, at 79 years old, he will likely die before this is all settled for good.

Sick of You? 1989?

You'd think if it were a hearing issue he would just say "Could you repeat the question?" and not stand there like a deer in headlights.

It's going to be interesting to see how "for purposes of this litigation only — does not contest the factual allegations" is going to fly in the criminal case.

I don't think the court system allows you to admit you lied in one case and then go "No, no, that's only for that ONE case... this criminal case is TOTALLY different..."
