It's not illegal for politicians and their staffers to trade on inside knowledge, unless they've changed the laws in the past 4 or so years.

seriously?

so for instance a senator can, through inside knowledge, learn that lockheed is going to win the bomber contract tomorrow, and he can go that afternoon and buy up a bunch of lockheed and short northrop and make a million dollars the next day and there is nothing illegal about that at all?

the only limitation is that a president can't pardon himself for a crime for which he has been impeached. no impeachment and he can pardon himself for anything though

i think it would protect him from criminal prosecution but not from impeachment, which is a different thing. could be one of those 'there's nothing in the rulebook that says a dog can't play basketball' things though

Been marathoning Kitchen Nightmares UK (as a USAizten) and I loving love it


It's so... refreshing. The US version was such reality tv garbage. This, in contrast, is good.

Also, BBC 4 bumper have a kind of Adult Swim feel, it's wierd.

the early us seasons had a similar feel. gordon ramsay is clearly someone who used to be a real human but has slowly transformed into a stuttering golem of dramatic slowreveal sentence cuts and swears

uk kitchen nightmare is good. basically ramsay telling people to not half rear end through life with genuine concern. like suddenly you see hes a driven person whos passionate about food and not the full metal jacket poo poo on american tv. i would binge it in grad school to get that dose of "this is what you do, either constantly strive to be excellent at it or gtfo and do something else"

I've watched this loop like 50 times and I'm still not 100% sure wtf is going on here... There's like an extra set of tires on the back of the trailer, and one of those is what appears to blow out, but why? Was it just so hosed that all it needed was to roll backwards a little bit and el-kablammo?

Or... ?

Seriously, wtf is going on here?
