Good luck remembering where you put everything πŸ˜‰ Every time I "clean" my desk (or night stand) it takes hours to find paperwork that should have been right under the memo pad under the book I never finished under the magazine I meant to read under the notes of the last meeting under...

As a former Philadelphian it's hard to root for the Blue Jays (1993, Joe Carter) UNLESS they're playing the Dodgers...Go Jays!

It's the Venezuelan oil...something like 300b barrels...

Is there a reporter anywhere willing to ask the @jefftiedrich.bsky.social question?

A European swallow or an African swallow?

Theoretically, yes.

The only ceremony required is that he take the oath of office. LBJ's oath was administered by (I think) a local Texas Federal Court judge aboard AF 1 sitting on the Love Field tarmac while they loaded JFK's casket aboard. The Constitution doesn't require any more ceremony than that.

And the other F word: Freedom! Freedom from unwanted Search and seizure. Freedom from troops on our streets. Freedom from the communism of the government control of the means of production.

Have you read Vonnegut's "Player Piano"?

I doubt telling politicians will have any effect. Instead, tell Paramount you aren't watching, and tell them it's because of their capitulation to secure their merger...then cancel your Paramount account .

Agreed. All three ended the Phillies WS runs...though the Cards did it in the regular season.

You asked for proof; I gave you anecdotal evidence. No need to be a dick.

BTW, I can't claim any charitable deductions anymore, thanks to the tax act of 2017.

My small-ish congregation supports multiple missions including food banks, HART (Helping At Risk Teens), Habitat...we make goody bags to distribute to homeless...don't paint all Christians with so broad a brush.

Me, too...but they have never asked for ID or asked me if I'm a citizen. Usually they just waive me through, though sometimes they ask where I'm going and when they hear my distinctive Philly/Delco accent they waive me through.

Senior partners in these firms make 4 to 10 million a year. Can they? Yes. Will they? Nope.

Money mostly...but they are massive, multi national firms employing thousands of attorneys and support staff. It would take years to unwind. It happened to a much smaller Philadelphia defense firm Labrum & Doak in the 90s prompting litigation against the senior partners and a Chapter 11 bankruptcy.

The 4th 5th and 6th Ammendments apply to "the people", not just citizens;
The "progression" was caught on a hot mike yesterday when Trump told Bukele to build more facilities to house American "home grown" criminals.

"First they came for the communists and I didn't speak out because I'm not a communist..."

Due process requires proof, and an opportunity to be heard. No one Trump sent to Cecot received anything close to due process...they were just "disappeared."

It's also important to show the rest of the world that not all Americans support the current insanity in Washington.
