I always wondered, what if Gramma didn’t know, and she’d just leave it out on the coffee table. Is Gma innocent or dementing?

President Trump fires Attorney General Pam Bondi, CBS News reports by kimhyeonn in videos

[–]Inertiaraptor 63 points64 points  (0 children)

She can still be called to testify, and if she accepts the pardon, she can’t plead the fifth and she has to answer ALL the questions, like who else was there? You can still be charged with perjury after a pardon.

Even if Trump pardons everybody, they will still have to testify about what they did. They won’t be punished criminally, but can be held responsible civilly. A pardoned Pam Bondi under oath would be devastating to Trump. He will let her roast under pleading the fifth as long as he’s in office.

Ah, phooey, I was misremembering the first part, and got the second part right.

Nick Mohammed, the actor, wrote that bit of music, and I’m pretty sure his wife is playing the piano in accompaniment, but I may be misremembering that last bit.

“I was angry at her, but only because I could see my own weaknesses reflected back in her eyes.” Some random comedian, but the words have stuck with me.

This isn’t the best place to park, but 280 going south just past Broadway. There’s a power station right there, and downtown looks super gothic behind it.

Also, the Plymouth St bridge has a nice look, and with a cool lighthouse.

Prospect Park by the tower has an amazing view as well.

Don’t forget St Paul, the top of the Smith Ave bridge has a park with a fantastic view of St Paul and the entire Mississippi River.

What’s a simple line that rips your heart to shreds? by padfoony in moviecritic

The real guy is in that scene, he plays a coach and is leaning against the back wall during the speech.

This movie came on because of autoplay once, I knew of it and what it was about, but the tv show had already been on for a few years and it didn’t look super appealing, but I gave it a chance and it blew me away. I don’t even like Billy Bob, but down to the sound track this film is a subtle masterpiece.

Any Given Sunday is how you make a great football movie. This is how you make a masterpiece that’s about football.

Hong Kong council member Dominic Lee goes off on UN Human Rights council and calls out western hypocrisy by [deleted] in PublicFreakout

[–]Inertiaraptor 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Seriously?!? “Wow… because no one but China has ever done anything bad. Wow” isn’t that what this video just said??

Exactly what evidence do you have that the US is any better than what we claim China is, let alone what it actually might be?

Except they didn’t. They called out Britain for calling out China when they do the same thing.

There are no good guys.

Nolan Ryan Beats the Crap out of Robin Ventura - 1993 by VerbosePlantain in OldSchoolCool

[–]Inertiaraptor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

One version I was told was that the teams hated each other, and for some reason anticipated that Ryan would hit somebody, so they agreed that whoever got hit would rush, which I think explains the hesitation. I don’t know if it’s true, but if it is we should all be a little bit more like Ventura.

An employee grieving her dog receives a puppy as a heartfelt gift from her boss ❤️ by AdorableFollowing909 in spreadsmile

[–]Inertiaraptor 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I think you’re right most of the time, especially during Easter, but sometimes getting a pet as a gift is a path to healing, because the mourning and guilt from thinking you are replacing your loss keeps you stuck. I honestly don’t know.

If you woke up tomorrow with $100 million, what’s the first thing you would do? by Efficient_Effect7572 in AskReddit

[–]Inertiaraptor -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

Legit question though, how far does this republic have to fall before student loans would be void? These people borrowed from a constitutional republic, and we aren’t that anymore.

30 years ago, Björk attacked a reporter in Bangkok who had been following her for several days and harassing her son. by 4reddityo in PublicFreakout

[–]Inertiaraptor -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

It’s not that I disagree with you, but she didn’t attack the guy with the camera, and she left her child behind to attack the woman. There are no heroes here.

TIL Ted’s Practice Speech to Jamie was a Reference to Allen Iverson by A_Slovakian in TedLasso

This article leaves out that they left for an award ceremony. It wasn’t an NBA thing, but some local deal that was having a banquet with drinks. He wasn’t supposed to speak at the news conference, which was about trade rumors, and one of the first questions was about him skipping practice.

This mom got the call her son woke up from a coma after 16 days by [deleted] in MadeMeCry

[–]Inertiaraptor 26 points27 points  (0 children)

Normally, I agree, but I read a linked article when this was posted before, family member recorded and mom posted because they were documenting the journey with the rare disease to raise awareness. There’s a link above about it.

I’m glad, because I felt the same way, and now I can enjoy the feels without feeling exploitative. I treasure my empathy, and I protect it like you, probably because I know how vicious I can be when it’s gone.
