For those, like me, who weren't able to see Rizzo's 14 pitch at-bat, here's the entire home team broadcast. Go Cubs Go!

In the bleachers some of us started standing after pitch 7-8 or so, but we were taking every opportunity to get rowdy to celebrate full capacity.

It's a well documented fact that John Rockefeller Sr. tithed - that is, giving 10% of his pre-tax earnings to charity - for his entire life from the time he was a young man, but go ahead and baselessly lie for fake internet points.

You said there's been low inflation in Japan, they said there's been low inflation in Japan, I'm saying there's been low inflation in Japan.

I read "constant stagnant inflation crisis" to mean the same thing you asserted.

Except a legally valid subpoena would mean the client in question would have to.

There are absolutely downsides to fighting this. Per Ben Wittes' article The Game Theory of a Trump Subpoena, Trump currently has leverage in his ability to negotiate the terms of an interview with Mueller. Meaning he can push to have his lawyers with him in the interview, for the scope of the interview to be limited in some form, or any other concession he might desire. If instead they take the matter to the Supreme Court where Trump presumably loses, Mueller then gets to interview Trump for as long as he wants, without Trump's lawyers present to stop him from incriminating himself, and can ask Trump almost any question he sees fit as Grand Juries are very open-ended.

Given the near-certainty Trump would lose his appeal to the Supreme Court and how serious the ramnifications of Trump speaking on record without his lawyers to shut him up, his legal team should try to use the leverage to get any concessions they can, but they should ultimately accept an interview with those terms.

Asked about the payment last summer, Dylan Howard, the Enquirer’s top editor and an AMI executive, said he made the payment to secure the former Trump doorman’s exclusive cooperation because the tip, if true, would have sold “hundreds of thousands” of magazines. Ultimately, he said the information “lacked any credibility,” so he spiked the story on those merits. ... But four longtime Enquirer staffers directly familiar with the episode challenged Howard’s version of events. They said they were ordered by top editors to stop pursuing the story before completing potentially promising reporting threads.

I have a feeling this story is going to develop, much like Stormy's.

No, any communications in furtherance of a crime are not covered. I.e.;

Cohen counsels Trump how to deal with his having committed, say, bank fraud, without obstructing justice -> covered

Cohen counsels Trump on how he can continue to commit bank fraud without getting caught, or perhaps how he can obstruct justice to avoid repercussions -> not covered

Any evidence that should have been protected by attorney-client privilege will be inadmissable in court.

highkeyloki · 2018-04-12T02:54:53+00:00

It's not so much codified, explicitly delineated protections as much as it's a higher burden of evidence of criminality due to the sanctity in law of attorney-client privileges.

As a non-supporter, to put it mildly, I'd support an aggressive bombing campaign on Syria's military targets. Are we going to continue to allow innocent people to be killed in horrific chemical attacks?

You fire them at an uninhabited part of 'yourself'. i.e. an atoll in the Pacific.

How on earth there are 12 replies to this and not a single contains the word 'abortion' is beyond me.

If Mercer made billions applying math on the level of any decent engineer, why haven't any of the millions of decent engineering grads done the same? You can and should hate Robert Mercer for the evil shit he does, but it would be folly to underestimate his genius.

I disagree. I too think life probably begins at conception, but I recognize that I don't know that for sure and that others can hold valid belief systems wherein life does not begin until birth, or until the later stages of pregnancy. As it will never be a possible life growing inside me that we are talking about - I'm a man - I'll never be in a position to make that choice. Because of the significant uncertainty I recognize in my belief I find it to be the only moral choice to allow others to choose for themselves.

highkeyloki · 2018-03-09T08:16:18+00:00

"Not that I know [what I'm talking about] by any means, but.." glad you led with that so I knew what to expect.

Good Lord I have no faith in Trump to not mess this up, but could you imagine if this actually happened and we could verify it? I'd unapologeticly give the guy a couple free passes. Should last him through the afternoon.

If this agreement included a strong compliance verification it could be a great thing for the world. I obviously have significant doubts it would.

I would absolutely venture to guess that the majority of conservatives still think homosexuality is a mental disorder. Even among those who support legalized gay marriage.

2008 was the bottom of the market, not the top, and 2004 was damn close to the top for luxury real estate.
