  1. Between the Germans, Jews, Italians and Greeks you could always get good rolls, breads and pastries. Colorado, forget about it. They seem to think Panera or Kneaders are the height of baking. Find me a good kaiser roll or stollen. Find me good baklava. Sourdough or russian rye, forget about it. Oroweat is just not cutting it. Hint to bakers, you should not be able to wring oil out of fritters or glazed doughnuts. Carrot cake should be moist but not wet. Eclairs are filled with custard not whipped cream. Bagels are not judged on large size but good taste and especially texture.

    Maybe he inferred as much since you are reasonable and funny as opposed to angry and unreachable.

    Another example of why politicians can't be trusted

    Every tournament game I have watched has cheerleaders, trainers, coaches (plural) and a fairly large band. Three bus loads strikes me as just about right.

    I guess I inferred as much as you raised your point seemingly in response to my posting. That said my inference was a bridge too far, clearly not your intent, and I accept your explanation as true from the inception of your posting.

    Team, trainers and coaches, School Administrators and Athletic department Director, Cheerleaders, Dance team and band. That sounds like around three bus loads.

    Puts me in mind of Marvin Heemeyer and his killdozer.

    Gonzaga. Sounds foreign to me. Best to be intolerant to stay on the safe side until their bona fides are verified.

    Sues school district

    Does it have a phallus and/or balls in a scrotum? if so it uses the boys room. Does it have ovaries and/or a uterus, if so it uses the girls room. If it is a hermaphrodie it can use the faculty facilities, the principal's facilities, or it can use a bucket in the janitor's closet. The discomfort of the one does not outweigh the discomfort of the many.

    Trump INDICTED

    Talking concepts in the middle of a partisan fight almost always has folks assuming one is a staking horse for one side or the otheer. I get it, after 30 years of folks trying to tarp others into arguments and positions we are all wary of the practice. Me, I gave up that simplistic practice many years ago. I am sincerely interested in the ramifications of this test case which may change the law. i don't give a damn about Trump or Biden as I find both unpaletable and frankly far beneath what we should have, and what we deserve in the Office of President. We should have been careful what we asked for.

    Trump INDICTED

    Which is why I never made that argument. i look at my property. It has an assessed value. They take that assessed value, multiple it by a mill levy, and come up with my taxes. My assessed value, and everyone's in my county is lower than actaul value. The reason is so that we cannnot challenge the assessed value. That way the government gets their taxes, their bounty on my life. What I and others cannot challenge is the mill levy multiplier which is way all governments use this paradigm, governments don't like challenges. They ahve a target of vlue they want to acquire but they do so disingenuously.

    Now admittedly the concept of exhaustion of remedies is usually a civil concept and usually applies to filings when there are still administrqtive processes available to a plaintiff, but the concept is one I believe in.

    Trump INDICTED

    As an attorney I sort of believe in the concept of exhaustion of remedies. That means before a court takes up a matter it requires that plaintiffs look to see if there is a more minimal authority who can provide complete remedy. If so, that is the appropriate venue for a matter. I also understand that the laws under which Trump was charged was intended to create full disclouse by lenders to unsophistiucated borrowers. I understand the language is general enough to palpably argue the language flows both ways so I don't really care to argue it should not, but I do look at the original intent. Finally I do think the due dilligence of the lender is what creates a level playing field. Where the government the lender I could see their interest here. in the end I understand the arguments for finding Trump liable, I just have some philosophical troubles with the arguments. That said, Trump got hoisted on his own petard and me not liking the man I must say I experienced a bit of schadenfreude when it happened. My enjoyment aside I am uncomforatable with the motivations of the A.G. I think pandora's box has been opened and the witch has a stanky box indeed. I do welcome evidence to educate me on how much reliance commercial lenders palce on assertions of collateral vqalue in loan applications. Seems to me someone here might have insight into that.

    Trump INDICTED

    I was under the impression that a sophisticated lender like Deutsche Bank did their own very thorough due diligence relying not at all on the assertions of the borrower as those assertions are historically unreliable. With this not being my area of expertise, and with me only minimally following the hearig testimony and the ruling I could well be wrong. it may be that the lenders relied in some degree on the assertions of Trump. If so I would have thought it was their right to go after him civilly. I am skeptical that the govrnment has a genuine interest here as the parties have pathways to rfemedies, fully adequate remedies, without the government getting involved. Do we know whether the lenderes relied in any measure on Trump's assertions or if they only look at their own investigation, separate and apart from those assertions. My guess, there probacbly was some minimal reliance, at least, on Trump's assertions. There was probably somewhat greater reliance on Tax and Building department records, and somewht more on direct investigation, but again, in my case this would all be wild speculation.

    Usual suspects ruin up another thread. It would be nice when they do so if they had a new take on their tired positions, but they don't, just the same old sputum reheated.

    Robert F. Kennedy Jr. is going to run as independent.

    Too bad the Libertarian Party convention in May conflicts with the Dead and Company's residency at the Sphere in las Vegas. Many of the party faithful will be unable to attend the convention. Its all about priorities.

    I won't join in the downward spiral by voting for either Biden or Trump, both of whom are unfit for office. I will not chose the lesser of two evils when that leads to ever greater evils asking for that choice again in the future. While I am hardly aligned with RFK I will be chosing some third party candidate to support simply to register my disdain for the two major parties. I imagine RFK will do fairly well for that same reason, many are tired of the crap both parties roll out.

    Robert F. Kennedy Jr. is going to run as independent.

    So, RFK denies us the rich vein of comedy gold which would have resulted from having Aaron Rodgers as his running mate. I resent that. Still, this Nicole Shanahan, who I was completely unaware of until this moment seems an ingeresting choice. A Stanford educated lawyer, the owner of a tech firm, for a while, a person who has invested real personal wealth in foundations to help the less advantaged. She seems like a good person. Too bad politics will paint her as something negative.

    The league no longer values my demographic. Strange as I have more disposable income than ever, but so be it. Change the game and complicate viewing and I will fade away. Old things like me should fade away. I will not rage against the dying of the light, I will embrace it.
