Our legal system has 4 tiers of justice. If you are poor, a person of color or of another lowly respected group, you are too many times presumed guilty.

If you are working class to middle class, and can afford a decent lawyer, you get a middling level of justice. The better that you are able to differentiate yourself from the poor, and appear to look innocent, the better your outcome.

When you enter actual wealth, you can afford to put off trials, get counsel that can enact intensive clogging of the justice system. Prosecutors will be using inordinate resources to try a case and will plea bargain to ridiculous levels to be able to function for the rest of their duties. There is some justice in that what is spent on lawyers will meet or exceed the fines that they may have received otherwise.

The highest tier can always take their money elsewhere. They can purchase citizenship to other countries, including those without extradition, and are nations to themselves. The last two levels are either somewhat above the law, or completely exempt from the rule of law.

What is new is that members of a political party are seen as exempt from law, and that a ruler is exempt from law for life.

I spent a few nights in a straw bale home, wanting to experience what they were like. They are incredibly quiet. Each bale is 1.5 ft of soundproofing/insulation. The loudest part of the house was the clock ticking. The house was heated by appliances such as the refrigerator and water heater. A local monastery built several to rent out for people wanting a tranquil contemplation.

What are the costs to grow another cohort of fish? What is the time value of setting the program back for the number of years that it will take to get back to normal, and that is assuming that we can?

Navalny was in Russian custody, and his health was Russia's responsibility. Putin still has blood on his hands for all the deaths in Ukraine.

Compare "potatoe" to Trump's speech. This speech needs to be played again and again as a campaign ad gift from Trump.

Melania pays and pays and pays...

I keep one until the battery dies. Then I replace the battery with a second rechargeable lithium and a new watch band. By the next time the next battery goes dead, the case is shot, too. Make absolutely sure that you follow the battery replacement directions carefully, reading the directions fully BEFORE attempting it. There are very tiny parts that can drop out and easily lost.

I have a little nicer watch. Accurate to the second and water-resistant to 100 m. My OCD is smiling, inside.

They could not find any crimes on Trump, either. And that is out of 80+ charges that various legal agencies found. Republicans are neither the Law nor the Order party.

Why would I choose twice the work at less pay?

I don't know if that is even possible, given our laws, rights and so many sycophants.

Hearing that Reddit is subject to a lawsuit over a mass shooting and the toxic crazy that some of its subs were allowed!? Reality was going to hit. The unpaid volunteers had their mod tools dismantled, and were effectively driven out. This short was only a matter of waiting for the right time.

It would have to be "Love me, love my sister", or it would never work.

Rules that would poison the right to a fair trial, or stifle free speech would give Trump a reason to appeal, and win that appeal. The judges have their hands tied. I am sure that each judge and prosecutor saw it coming, but acted anyway.

Judge Aileen Cannon sits in stark exception.

It's a good thing that I am not a judge. Threaten my family and your ass would be in jail until the threat is gone, or I am.

I had the same dilemma.

What worked for me was to buy an old, refurbished, commercial HP laser printer, without the subscription "features". I paid $75 and have saved that much in ink costs, just this year.

Down ballot is where the gerrymandering and state supreme courts work together to kill democracy.

Trump would need to spend far too much money to win an election just to stay out of prison. Even then, it's dicey. The smarter play would be to fleece the RNC and anyone else as much as possible, and then take his money to some 'shit' nation that will let him walk free for a price. Russia, are you listening? Melania want to go home.

My class is different. They have to qualify, and have to ask to get in. When they leave, they are giants who can mike drop things that 99% of adults cannot do. (And they have a blast, while learning.) If it isn't fun, they are not going to learn. The secrets to herding cats is either a string or a laser light.
