Also the people in that row missed their flight, so empty seats where there easily could have been a fatality/serious injury.

In the specific prompting scenario, I'm ardently pro-Palestine and even anti-car, but I have strong doubts about the efficacy of the tactic selected for advancing the cause. Shutting down questions about efficacy with thought-terminating cliches like "it's a protest, it's supposed to make people angry" can only serve to the detriment of the cause by itself narrowing the range of protest activities toward those that unduly prioritize brashness over those which might, after some critical thinking and debate, be more effective, just less in everyone's face.

Trump's attorneys are currently arguing in the DC circuit court that if a president ordered an assassination of a political rival that they should be immune from that after they leave office.  Lawyer sounds like he forgot he had a book report due today and is stumbling through the presentation.

Yup. So long as the senate does not remove them from office via impeachment for the act and it is official, no prosecution is allowed according to trump. Note that Trump specifically argued in his second impeachment that he shouldn’t be impeached because he can be prosecuted when he’s out of office.

Bottom line from the hearing today is that Donnie is basically hosed, they're just debating the method. Appeals court could outright terminate the appeal as improperly granted, rule on narrow grounds, rule on wide grounds, make new policy, etc etc. Granted, Donnie's lawyers are going for maximum delay, but there's merit to giving appellate justices excuses to rule for you, but they didn't even bother.

Had the exact same thing happen in Paris, Louvre employees were striking, so instead of charging admission, they just handed out fliers and let people through.

Trump watched that episode of The Simpsons where Lisa is POTUS and Nelson reminds her she gets one free assassination per term and took it literally. ...which, ironically, is an episode that refers to cleaning up the messes of President Trump.

Appeals court could outright terminate the appeal as improperly granted, rule on narrow grounds, rule on wide grounds, make new policy, etc etc. The only unequivocal and direct answer Trump's lawyer gave today was to a question of "should we remand for more factual determinations on whether the duties were ministerial or discretionary?" He emphatically said yes.

Leave posted:What does that mean? Ministerial acts are things that someone is directed to by statute and doesn't have a choice in the matter. Discretionary acts are ones taken under broad powers relating to judgement calls in the execution of an office. Some of the caselaw says that immunity only should extent do ministerial acts as the person executing them has no choice in the matter. The trial court did not make a determination about this because she ruled he had no immunity in other ways. The appellate judges asked Trump's lawyer if they should kick it back down to the trial judge to make those findings of fact before they give their ultimate answer. You could hear Lauro's perk up when asked that question. "Why yes we'd love for you to cause this to be delayed another month or two."

Barely talked to press, etc. We didn't even get basics when they outright said he had an elective surgery. So it's all still highly suspicious, and pretty drat dumb, but supposedly how he's operated even as a general.

That's the most comprehensive link I've seen because it was usually just linked with the video of one of the hasidic Jews just popping up out of the drat sewer grate. One thing not in that link: https://twitter.com/nkulw/status/1744723929145717055?t=2qX94si5IdOClm75vv1URg&s=19 It didn't penetrate my brain why those tunnels would be a big deal, until I thought "hmm gravity might override a hasidic belief that pillars and walls of a building are haram"

I did a little bit of digging and came up with a couple explanations, one of which was "these young men belong to a particular orthodoxy that requires strict gender segregation and the tunnels were dug under the women's section so they could see naked women," another was "one Hasidic sect wanted to control more space than another sect, hence the tunnels." I can see either of these or both of them to be true simultaneously.
