He's not going to prison over this. That was never really on the table, if you have read/listened to credible legal experts. Not trying to be pedantic, but getting pissed about him not going to jail for the lowest level of felony is kind of screaming into the wind. He is going to be put on probation...

My grandfather was an eye doctor and once while I was staying with them (Highland Park) he had to leave to go perform emergency surgery on a dude that got blasted in the peeper on a golf course.

Yeah, the entire problem regarding Trump is that he got away with murder (almost literally) because there are norms and unwritten rules that he absolutely took a dump on at almost every turn. HE is the one forcing the system to hold him to account in unprecedented ways because of how brazenly he bro...

My last post on this for a bit...

It is fucking WILD!!!! that a person with a felony conviction can be president, but in many states you can't vote with a felony conviction.

I know no one ever thought this day would come, but now that it's here.

Verdict is in, and I’m feeling a wave of anxiety… fuck, either way it’s going to be bad. Guilty on all counts would be bad? Depends on how much you like chaos in the streets. In this case, wouldn’t it be chaos in the marinas? First off, this is very fucking funny. Secondly, I think the idea that th...

I think the interesting thing on this board is that there is way too much focus on his base. TankFarm, I hope you are right... and I'll leave that part of it alone.

Showing a remarkable lack of awareness of MD politics. That dude's only shot to win in this state is to appeal to the moderate wing of the GOP here...

I’m pretty sure this means he can’t vote for himself in Florida. Lol 100 percent he can't vote in Florida. He could probably vote in NY, but can you be a resident of two states?

To me, the bigger picture is that it's possible to have a jury--in certain parts of the country--that can look look at a fairly cut-and-dry case and come to an appropriate verdict. If there wasn't such a shitshow of a judge down in FL, the even MORE obvious outcome than this one in the classified do...

What happens now? Is he still the nominee? Can he still win? What does a president governing from a state jail cell look like? There is ZERO in our election laws that excludes him from being the nominee and/or serving as president. The qualifications for both are being 35 or older and a natural bor...

To your point, one of my work colleagues has a freshman playing mlax at nearby(ish) Palm Coast Atlantic University. Tampa is in their league, I think. (So is Embry, which chedda and I were talking about in another thread recently.)

A Bonchon Chicken is opening here soon. Fucking psyched. They opened today and I went. Waited about 30 minutes because, predictably, it was busy. I got boneless wings, bulgogi tacos, and fries. I was not impressed. I'll chalk it up to them being busy and me not getting the bone in wings. Various tr...

I mean, normally I'd thank you for sharing an article I hadn't seen, but your tone kind of sucks, so... NOPE!

The fact that his body camera wasn't on... I"m not saying it's suspicious, but it sure as hell was a huge factor in them dropping this case. I also wonder if they were able to interview witnesses who did not see what the police report stated. You've got at least a half dozen vehicles right ther...

Hard disagree. That was such a minor altercation that it should have never gone to review in the first place. Honestly, I'm sure you're right, this is the most NBA I've watched in months.

The NBA era of large, dumpy looking European dudes ruling the league is astounding and highly entertaining. (Watching Doncic is just... What am I watching? I absolutely love it.)

In a very VERY weird coincidence... At the small non-profit I worked at prior to this job, the office manager/accountant/chief of staff was ALSO the lead counsel for the MLB umpire union.

I'm also calling bullshit on this being some "cuh-RAZY" situation because someone got run over. Not trying to be a total prick, but cops deal with accidents and death fairly regularly. This guy was directing traffic. He wasn't in the middle of an active shooter situation. Just kind of anno...

I should modify that to say worst call in a completely context free situation. Like, not calling an easy bang-bang play an out in a World Series or when a perfect game is on the line is a lot "worse."

But from a straight-up, objective WTF stand point? Woof.

That's gotta be one of the worst calls in MLB history.

Maybe we're not seeing the total thing, but what I saw was so far from what was in the report (cop dragged, ruined his pants, etc etc)... It's really baffling the DA hasn't dropped the felony charges. What a fucking clown shop.
