Engorgeous George

I hope you mean the vehicle in the presidential motorcade and not Kamala Harris.

I hope you went with the tall option and with a self closing seat. Seat warmer is also a nice touch.

Vinegar and oil dressing on that salad?

Don't be modest, go with a cucumber instead of a carrot.

If the pardons and commutations were or are the right thing to do they should have been done years and months ago. Waiting until leaving office increased the victimization of those folks. If it were the right thing a President would not have to worry about doing these while remaining in office and answering for the actions. That these are always done right at the end of a term when a President will not be held accountable by anyone for the actions indicates that Presidents know they are wrong, that they wil not withstand scrutiny.

First Chinpokomon and now Tick Tok. Is there no end to the soft idiocy of Americans, particularly those under say 50?

I never said, or even remotely implied they were not counted on election night. Perhaps i could have been more clear. Perhaps the facetious nature of that part of my post was lost through being poorly stated. I was having some fun with Trum's phone call while at the same time acknowledging that the counting procedure was less than as transparent and flawless as it ws designed to be, which is not to say in any way that it was fatally flawed.

I did not follow the matter. Was he found guilty or liable?

Sounds like Georgia did as Trump wanted, they found votes. They found them in what has been termed suitcases under a table at the counting center. I might opine that those suitcases were ballot transportation cases, but whatever. They located them and counted them. Did it look shady, yep given the hour and the observers. Was it shady, probably not. Where there externalities which raised questions, certainly given the late night rally for Biden. Could those externalities be readily and reasonably explained, I think so.

When Detroit lost a D.B to injury on the first or second play I asked myself will that finally be the straw which breaks the camels back. Yeah he was not one of their stars, but they, the stars, were long since injured. Rather, he was what they ahd left and he was now out. I wondered when will the cumulative effect tip them over to the point where they simply cannot defend. Turns out they culdn't stop Washington and so that may have helped induce some silly calls on ofense feeling they had to do to much just to keep up. Frankly had they just run Gibbs more and threw more to LaPorta and St. Brouwn I think thy could have kept up fine, they did not need a flea flicker to a W.R. throwing then downfield. Still, that has been their personaluity for the past tw plus years. As for the Packers loss, well they two were substantially injuried going in and suffered major injuries early. In the Packers case they showed they are more than a physical match for Philly even with the injuries. Unfortunately they ae not a mental match for St. Anna's School for Exceptional Children's co-ed flag football team. They hold, they line up offsides or in illegal formations, they cannot figure out how to not have linemen 5 yards downfield on passes and they forget assignments at inopportune times. Lafleur is great at scheming things up and at making adjustments. He loses himself in then passions of the game and makes some poor decisions, and he has not instilled discipline. I know the team is the youngest in football, but they make fundamental errors I would not accept from an 8th grade team. I cant decide if Lafleur is the coach for them. Great coordinator, but dammit get some discipline or get out. The Vikings, i did not see any ready made excuses for their performance. They finally regressed to the mean.

Sub zero temps and snow and dangerous wind chills are setting in. Some will not make it through. There was a time when I helped set up a program, since taken over by a 501(c)(3) organization called Aurora Warms the Night. We got the homeless off the streets during extreme weather. I used to have to go out in this weather to open and supervise the shelter. Not exactly SOP for an Attorney. They no longer operate in the same facility or under the same rules, but they are still out there trying to keep folks from freezing to death.

Of the three "mites" which come easily to my mind, semites, vegemite, and termites, I am anti two of them.

For the President, or in general? In general, for folks like you and me it is legal. There are questions of proof over whether we intend for that stamp to be our signature, but if we personally use that stamp and present it as our signature it is indeed our signature. As for the President, he or she is required to afix their signature to certain documents. Some of those documents are legislative acts, treaties, and executive orders. Historically no President has ever used a signature stamp for those documents and so the question has not been definitively addressed by the Courts. I have no reason to think the Courts would not accept that prctice, particulary in this day and age where the President is visually recorded "signing" documents. If the intent to ratify is exhibited clearly by the person representing thewriting or design as their signature taht is generally sufficient.

Trump is going to develope carpel tunnel syndrome on day one. Signing over 100 executive orders is a lot of writting. I don't recall, when Presidents sign executive orders do they retire the pen after each signature, giving it to a main sponsor or proponent of the action and then use a fresh pen for the next order? If so they better have a case of pens standing bye.

No love for Karma Chameleon?

21 degrees and droping. 77% humidity and snowing. Winds steady at 10 to 12. This is as temperate as the weatherf is going to be for the next 100 hours or so.

I sure don't miss having to leave my warm suburban home and my warm suburban wife to drive down into the old City neighborhood getting such a bad rap lately in the news to open up a dilapidated army gym to set up cots and then to check in scores of homeless folks and sit up through the night to supervise the facility along with a few volunteer officers. I don't miss having to wrangle with the City over whether city vehicles, cop cars and paramedic vans and code enforcement cars could be used to transport the homeless to the shelter.i don't miss wrangling with an existing 501(c)(3) to get their van and insurance to tansport the homeless. I don't miss having to get a federal grant and then a special release fom motorola to equip that van with a radio tied into our Dispatch frequency since motorola had a limit on the mumber of users we could have on our Dispatch system. I particualrly don't miss the County coming by and telling us we could not serve warm soup or coffee as we did not have a licensed kitchen. (We could provide prepackaged cold meals.) (Turns out we could serve coffee if we did not serve soup or unprepackaged sandwiches.) Still, after many years, when the mercury drops and the winds pickup and the snow starts to drift habit now tells me I should be out doing something instead of sitting around. I'm like my old springer spaniel who could not figure out why I would not shoot the pheasants she compulsively had to flush when we went out for walks when she was extremely old. She never escaped her training.

Go and fire up some Taylor Swift and dream of the day she tosses aside Travis Kelce for an aging, out of shape strip mall manager because she is sexually excited by pot bellies, thinning hair, and a consistently parrotted woke perspective.

Like a two year old who refuses to go down for his nap Tim has decided to try to demand attention. Sadly his demand comes with all of the perspective of a two year old.

Every one of those opinions, or those facts?

Tim cannot distinguish facts from opinions. Never has been able to do so.

You are more optimistic than am I. I doubt we have 20 years. Our once independant, warrior, cowboy culture is now a bunch of bleeding heart, men visiting spas and salons instead of saloons, pussified culture begging to be overthrown. I call our curent predicament the Schocheting of America.

Getting handed a folded flag is a tough nut.

If it is going to matter to you I believe the onus is on you to check the plumbing beforehand. After the fact it all smacks of buyers remorse.
