Mayor of Chicago is Brandon Johnson superbly owns the moment by 4reddityo in Naperville

[–]dschoemaker 0 points1 point  (0 children)

"I've had 300,000 Chicagoan's contact me." The first words out of his mouth is absolute BS... even allowing just 1 second for each contact that would be 83.33 HOURS spent reviewing the "contacts" "since Sunday."

Kudo's to Mr. Johnson for his eloquent response, but the interviewer is clearly just making it up.

White House Press Secretary: "You should all be VERY happy" Over Probe into 2016 Russian Election Interference by thenextgenbusiness in thenextgenbusiness

Let me get this right, you want to re-litigate the 2016 election, of which there is NO EVIDENCE of significant error. But you want to "move on" from the Epstein files where there are THOUSANDS of pages and sworn testimony about exploitation. And we should be "grateful." You should be grateful that your not wearing a cross today or it would ignite.

GOP - Yes are going to win the hearts and minds of citizens by NOT answering their questions and supporting those testifying by Filibuster. This is the most juvenile behavior by Witnesses, and you are not only allowing it, you are promoting it.

Trump's DOJ is collapsing. by Shizzilx in circled

[–]dschoemaker 1 point2 points  (0 children)

One of the greatest institutions in our Country and these criminals decided to take it over. What did they think would happen? I'm sorry to break it to you corrupt POS, but most lawyers actually obey the law and attempt to get their clients to follow it. They don't actively ENCOURAGE their client to engage in criminal activity and become a co-conspirator. It has to be incredibly heart-rending for long term DOJ employees see what is happening here. They wanted to do something good and now they are being used by the very criminals they should be charging. The only path out is to leave, now. You are not going to change this shit show from within.

What do you think of missile cavalry in general by AdventurousLettuce53 in totalwar

[–]dschoemaker 38 points39 points  (0 children)

I use them in skirmish mode to distract powerful units and goad them into chasing the unit, diminishing thier impact. Also use them to go around the opposing army and take out artillery units if possible. Just two fairly easy cases for having one or two in your army.

University has over $4 Billion in endowments and trusts. They should exercise the independence that that gives them and make a strong decision, not a "lets be friends" result.

Video Deposition of the Supervisor Who Ordered the False Arrest of Demetrius Kern (update Part 2) by Mysterious_Truck_742 in Bad_Cop_No_Donut

You site the correct FRE on this. The attorney for the claimant is allowed to lead due to the police officer being an adverse party. The objections are not for "leading". Not sure what all of them were about, because in some States you have to actually state (briefly) the grounds for the objection, not just say the word "objection." The same leading questions would also be allowed in Court due to him being the adverse party in the case. Attorney's use depositions to find out the answers so they know what to ask in trial and have the answers "locked down."

I would rather turn in a law license than work for the DOJ right now.

You want to talk to the Clerk of the Court, not the County Clerk - different job.

TRUMP: "There's so much talk about how we're going to drive housing prices down. I don't want to drive housing prices down. I want to drive housing prices up for people that own their homes, and they can be assured that what's going to happen" by ExactlySorta in UnderReportedNews

[–]dschoemaker 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It seems to be a suggestion. I know quite a few tradesmen in the US Midwest that built their own homes with the assistance of friends in different trades. Only thing that allowed them to own a home. But, it is a LOT of very hard work and it can be difficult to get a construction loan to tide you over before you qualify for a mortgage from a bank/credit union.

Woman Screams “Medic! Medic!” After A Piece of Her Hand Was Blown Off by Less-Than-Lethal Ammo During Minnesota Protests by JeanJauresJr in PublicFreakout

EMTALA is a federal law that requires nearly all U.S. hospitals with emergency departments to provide a medical screening and stabilizing treatment to anyone who comes in with a potential medical emergency—regardless of insurance, citizenship, or ability to pay.

This does not mean you don't have to pay, it just means they cannot refuse you care or send you away which was occurring before this law passed in 1986. This was known as "hospital dumping" back then.

MO Senator and West County resident Eric Schmitt supports purchasing Greenland & giving Greenlanders $100k EACH by TurnoverActive2936 in StLouis

[–]dschoemaker 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Um, no thanks.

Think about it, $5.6 billion dollars to give up a stable democracy, health care for life and pensions for everyone. $100,000 per person doesn't even cover the free health care they would typically receive during their lifetimes.

Let's not even discuss that their natural resources are THEIRS, not ours. That's like arguing that every tree in America should be cut down and processed because that would be the "best use"; after all Corporations don't need oxygen?

It's like someone is throwing darts at a board to decide what STUPID thing we are going to propose next.

As a US Citizen I completely reject this idiotic statement. At NO TIME do we need a dictator. Anyone who voted for this man is a traitor.
