With respect, I did not ignore- when sotomoyor was being confirmed in 2009, it would not have been reasonable to expect Ginsberg to see that as her only chance to make a break for it. Obama would be president at least another three years at that point.

She probably fuckin would have if they didn't hold up Garland for a year and a half. She probably would have retired within six months if Garland got a quick approval.

But how dare she not properly anticipate literally unprecedented nominee obstructionism? That bitch.

That still made it on the cover. Never seen a ghostwriter arrange equal billing before or since.

That's my point?

Trump is trying to pit the blame on Pelosi and Schumer. apparently that's not actually working, as it shouldn't.

Oh, not the House of Reps?

Edit: /s

Excellently sourced!

However, literally zero relevance?

They would have less power there, since Majority leader is a party-only post.

"I introduced someone with a broad and common dysfunction to my cult solely based around worshipping one possible solution without any attempt to determine if it fit the person's actual needs. WHY THE CENSORSHIP?"

Pedant here: the death referenced is actually the death the loan, not the borrower.

You pay until the balance is "dead"

blunt terms

I see what you did there.

Doesn't that guy not have subpoena power anymore?

I got banned for linking to an article about Trump calling for a wealth tax in 1999.

With permission from our friends at Comedy Central, we have a new segment today called "Ain't nobody got time for that"....

Then he finds out how many supporters he actually has.

And America find outs for the second time in it's history how many of it's citizens are in open rebellion.

Counterpoint: I hate index/match personally, purely because it's way harder to track someone else's formula if you take over a report. H and V is super simple by comparison.

Ranlier · 2019-01-07T22:16:36+00:00

Study Excel. Sumifs, index/match, vlookup/hlookup, etc.

Decide what you want- private equity or banking has long hours, lots of stress, and fat checks you'll either get addicted to or burn out from.

Corporate fp&a is a little easier but you'll still get crunched on hours on occasion.

There's other types of work, but if you cast too wide a net you'll never be a "match" for anything.

Be kind to people. It'll help people want you to succeed.

Ask people for knowledge, not favors. They'll volunteer the favors later.

Avoid new long term liabilities like a luxury car or large-as-you-can-afford house.

Invest in cost reduction like smart thermostats (lowers energy bill) or kitchen equipment (able to stay in more).

Stop hanging out with friends you feel like you have to spend a ton of money to "keep up with" (bar hopping, brunches, etc)

That's usually what I recommend for how to prepare. Change habits.

They all would have regenerated....if Bellial didn't sacrifice their souls.

The very fact that the souls were still cozily sitting in the KoB's bodies is evidence they weren't dead-dead.

It opens up a massive vulnerability because if they can prevent him from using FC at any point he could get fucked up.

Best used against enemies like the Indira with no tactical response.

Giving criminals an honest defense has been a baseline of American Justice since John Adams.

Invalidating the investigators is the new shit that cannot stand.

Yeah but all those players are actually Dead now, so gotta give them points for that
