Screen shot from β€˜Uncommon Sense’ by Reg Murphy reads as follows:

Finally, Judge Bell spoke to the issue if a President ever were convicted of a felony. Judge Bell stated, "If the President were indicted and convicted of a felony such as perjury or obstruction of justice or witness tampering before impeachment proceedings began, would anyone argue that he should continue to be President? I don't think so." He continued, "A
President cannot faithfully execute the laws if he himself is breaking them."
Judge Bell hit it right on the head.

Working on a project that marginally involves President Carter’s AG, Judge Griffin Bell, and came across this…

Sighs.

I’m still struggling with the imagined confusion and disappointment coming from the Arlo Guthrie and Patrick Swayze fans out there… (but maybe that’s my Vic Tayback bias).
Β‘But!
I will take a longer look at the mugs for you during my next β€œresearch” sesh.

I’ve been β€œresearching”* Alice (the tv show, but also the Doesn’t Live Here / Scorcese iteration) and as such have an Urgent Need to reference that Mel’s Diner famously offered a 14 Ounce Cup.

Somebody in 1-2-3… :

you think you’re so clever, but those artists will get zero royalties from secondary sales and you’re now denying them streaming revenue to boot!

(but that’s not coming from me, to be clear)

Never mind every other single abominable or corrupt thing to this miserable moment, the extrajudicial and unevidenced execution of 34 human beings by the U.S. Navy on the orders of a U.S. President acting in peacetime is sufficient for his impeachment and conviction.

If we were a republic, I mean.

Loki’s offspring… the wolf that kills Odin even though he raised him, and who pretty much triggers RagnarΓΆk.
Got it.

Um… interesting.

speaking as someone who has a tattoo that could be reasonably associated with disgraced author Neil Gaiman’s β€˜Sandman’ [an ankh on my left shoulder based on a Dave McKean design]…

nope.

I still don’t concede anything to someone with a Nazi tattoo.

at all.
