i know how motions to dismiss and summary judgment work, but they don't usually work within an hour of the guy filing, unless the tweet about the guy filing the lawsuit wasn't actually when he filed it

a motion to dismiss takes time, you gotta write your motion, they oppose, you reply to their opposition, then you argue it in front of the judge, then he writes an order

I wouldn't be surprised if the judge had all the paperwork 90% done in anticipation of this.

Then Reagan illegally crushed the unionized FAA air traffic controllers setting a tone across the country that Reagan's DoL wouldn't enforce the law against companies illegally acting against organized labor.

Also MLP reminder.


Two times it came up during the 2016 crazyness.

1) Zodiac Killer said the apple horse was his favorite.
2) When Donnie Wife #3894759852398 rippoffed Michelle Obama's speech, a talking head went to TV and said that Tropy-wife#2348975928759 was obviously quoting a MLP episode.

This is one of those too crazy to be true thoughts, but with this administration you never know. What if Donnie gave the plagiarized speech to Melania to set her up to fail spectacularly? He doesn't want any attention being focused on her and it would completely undercut her confidence and desire to pursue any attention grabbing First Lady duties. This is a dumb and malicious plan. It would make no sense to do it. It therefore satisfies Trump's razor.

To be fair to Bush, he really wanted to send in the army to provide relief for New Orleans immediately after the hurricane hit. The only reason he didn't is that the law prohibited the federal government from intervening in state matters such as emergency relief without a formal request from the governor, and the governor of Louisiana was a total shithead.

That is verifiable not true.

Additionally, the Bush Administration blocked foreign search and rescue teams.

Sorry, but whiteknighting for Bush on Katrina is ridiculous.

I guess knowing the Repubs taking over doesn't mean the end of Obamacare made people less trepidious. Odd considering Trump wants to defund them. Then again, I heard the dems found a way to stop that.

A few months ago, it looked as if large swaths of the country might end up without any insurers willing to sell Obamacare insurance in 2018. But in the last few weeks the “bare county” problem, which President Trump had cited as a sign the markets were failing, has nearly solved itself.

Do Texas politicians understand that a decent part of their state's GDP(and therefore taxes) is from blue cities?

Yes.


That just makes it easier for them to whip up rural and suburban votes with anti-local-control rhetoric because the dastardly democrats on the city councils can't be allowed to strange the great Texas economy which runs on freedom and low taxes (no education spending needed).
