True. The question is, will they and can they find someone who will do it?

The clock on SoL gets an extension, so in theory, DOJ can get Comey's adequately done. Still, given the public humiliation of the real lawyers representing the State with Halligan, I think it's going to be harder to do that. They can't do everything in the Cannon's courthouse.

Exactly. No points off for screw ups because screwups are a feature not a bug.

They’re targeting Native Americans (as in Berengial Pedestrians) too here in SD. They are running on a per-capture rubric, not accuracy.

He's not misusing a client's funds. (Just the taxpayers.) Sad but true.

Of course the Brits thought it was an honor to get whacked multiple times with a heavy clumsy axe before it hit true through the neck.

I got tired of seeing photon torpedos in the TOS movie era. I perked up when SNW’s Enterprise fired its first phaser in that disturbing one with the kid but afterwards saw that they went back to boring ones. All we have now are fan vids.

My Trumpy neighbors still don’t believe me when I say I thought he should have been removed on both counts in 1999, and still do. I had to find the receipts from the golden age of USENET and they still say… β€œbut….”

Noem and Lewandowski’s reported affair grabs attention, but more troubling are her political bedfellows β€” The South Dakota Standard I think most people agree: We really don’t care who Kristi Noem is sleeping with. That’s a personal issue between her, her husband Bryon and her supposed lover Corey Lewandowski and his wife. Let the...

And who are we kidding. Everyone here knew about Corey. Everyone else out of state found out when she trashed the DC congressional delegation for not attending her pick me for VP rally and it wasn’t the democrats who leaked it.

We flugging warned all of you!

South Dakota Attorney General Jason Ravnsborg passes Kristi Noem plane inquiry to accountability board Jason Ravnsborg says the request to investigate Gov. Kristi Noem's use of the state airplane should be handled by a board that reviews allegations of misconduct.

And of course. Well… *someone* WAS investigating her but we don’t talk about that or how the legislature didn’t trust her to replace him until primaries were over. www.argusleader.com/story/news/2...

Former official: Politically connected firm was 'obvious' favorite for Noem ad campaign β€’ South Dakota Searchlight A former Noem administration employee told legislators that a politically connected, out-of-state marketing firm seemed predestined for selection to carry out a state advertising campaign.

Well there WAS this red flag.

I'd say meet this halfway and give us five minutes to edit before the post "sets." Otherwise, a dishonest poster can retcon how they were always at war with East Asia (or is it Eurasia)?

BlueSky has another problem in the DMing, in that, unlike Twitter, they're complying (indeed, overcomplying) with state internet "decency" laws and requiring some of us to prove we're grown-ups to discuss vulgar topics like Kalman Filters with DMs. #PssstGotAnyCovarianceMatricies

Yea, that’s what it looks like. Strange given how everyone β€œhas his number”, you’d think the way to communicate with him would be texts.

Yeah why DO his emails look like they have character limits. It’s like he doesn’t know the difference between an email and text.

At least she didn't use THIS one to steal IP from a Sioux Falls ad firm and give it to cronies.

I'll give her some credit here: *This time*, she didn't use an open bid process to steal IP from an in-state marketing firm and hand it to an out-of-state firm run by a crony who she thought would get her closer to Trump.
