Don't you have to use a lawyer licensed in Georgia? Maybe he got thrown in jail for being an idiot.

Don't you need a lawyer who is licensed in the state? Why would you want to fly in a lawyer from out of state, even if you could afford it?

Cindy Crawford looks looks incredibly manly. That's the weirdest one for me.

I don't think he will be "in prison" in any sense during the booking, so it doesn't sound too important about how close they are.

Is it clear how close they have to be to an ex-President at all times? Is the law written that they need to be in visual contact at all times? I have no idea.

Probably the only reason Mexico hasn't already pulled it out is because they don't want to waste money that they know will never be reimbursed to them.

Maybe the US will take it down and bill Texas themselves.

Yeah, I agree. That phrase was the more memorable one for me for many years until I noticed the "tomorrow" phrase that precedes it. Both of them together in one verse makes it the strongest verse of any song I know of.

Sounds like Mexico can just take down most of this thing.

Edit: As a US citizen, I support Mexico's immigration services to detain any Texas construction workers that illegally cross the border to service this thing.

I also would support the governor of this region of Mexico to put these construction workers on a bus and drop them deep in the heart of Mexico somewhere.

I find one line particularly powerful, and it's been used in a couple famous songs.

Jenny Lou Carson (1944), made popular by Willie Nelson (1966)

I'd trade all of my tomorrows for just one yesterday For what good is life without the one you love I'd trade all of my tomorrows, they're worthless anyway If my arms can't hold the one I am dreaming of

Just an empty world is all I have before me I'd give anything if you were with me now I'd trade all of my tomorrows for just one yesterday I don't want to live without you anyhow

Kris Kristofferson Me and Bobby McGee (1969)

And I'd trade all of my tomorrows For one single yesterday Holdin' Bobby's body next to mine Freedom's just another word for nothin' left to lose Nothin' left is all that Bobby left me.

I read somewhere that the order of "locking him up" could be appealed extensively and would be an effective delay tactic for him. I think that is why the DC judge wants to speed things up in response to this behavior.

It's been less than three years since this crime.

Every gun owner that legally uses weed in a weed-legal state commits the same felony by lying on that same form, when purchasing a firearm. It's pretty common to not prosecute this felony.

Doesn't this quote from the article make it seem like Trump was making his own decision:

" ... claimed that Trump himself read a series of academic law review articles about the Electoral Count Act to brush up on the relevant law."

This page is a nice way to see headlines for various topics.

You can make an account and choose the sources you want and how many titles to show. That link will show 15 titles from each source. The titles refresh often, so it stays fresh.

Edit: Actually, I just compared the page before and after I logged in and I'm not sure if you can customize the sources. I'm not sure what the account actually does. If you want to specify your sources, I like using this online RSS reader: https://theoldreader.com/

I've been using since Google got rid of their reader. This one is sort of a copy. The site holds the RSS feeds that you enter, and there is an Android app that will let you sign in an view from mobile. I think the app is called gReader.

I was going to post this exact comment. My Pixel default launcher had a huge amount of wasted space at the top. I also use Nova.

In the US, a University is usually a collection of colleges. Each college has a somewhat independent structure from other colleges within the University, and each is led by its own Dean. Each college has different requirements of entry and provide rules for what it takes to get a degree from that college. But ultimately, you get a degree from something like "The University of Whatever, College of Engineering". All the colleges have some certain amount of oversight and guidelines set up by the overall institution.

Agreed. Tit for tat doesn't begin to describe the "Tat" that Russia has been flinging into Ukraine.

Except when you get a soft drink too close. Then you have buttons that are sticky forever.

I was curious about this last week and found an article that provides some other examples of this type of usage:

"The translation’s grammatical archaism made it even more powerful, resonating with lines in Tennyson (“I am become a name, for always roaming with a hungry heart”), Shakespeare (“I am come to know your pleasure”), and the Bible (“I am come a light into the world, that whosoever believeth on me should not abide in darkness”)."

The article also provides some commentary from a scholar about how to translate the original Sanskrit that Oppenheimer is referencing.

Edit: This article is referenced in the above article, and provides some interesting insight into why Oppenheimer was thinking of this quote. His situation was very similar to the situation of Arjuna, who speaks the original phrase in the ancient story. It really gives some additional insight into how many different mental levels Oppenheimer must have been able to conceptualize.
