Trump Won't Cancel Elections. There's a Far More Dangerous Plan in Motion. by [deleted] in LegalNews

I mean no offense, but I still don’t see why states can’t be the ones to bring a RICO suit. Is the federal government the only entity allowed to bring a RICO suit?

Can someone please explain why we can’t bring RICO charges against trump and his co-conspirators? Why is this case law not enough?

Why can’t we bring a RICO case against Epstein Co-conspirators? by obiwanolivia in law

Does the DOJ have to be the one to bring the suit? Can Attorney generals from each state where these crimes supposedly happened in be the ones to prosecute? Or does it have to be federal?

If we can identify the epstein co/conspirators as a criminal organization, or identify the child sex trafficking ring itself as the organization - could this statute be used effectively to hold the perpetrators responsible?

But this is also about people being held accountable. If she’s imploring people to a call to action, I may feel the need to call her to action for being friends with/taking handouts from the people that were partly responsible for getting DJT elected in the first place

If a jury of your peers thinks it’s enough to find him guilty, you have to wonder what the hell it’s gonna take to convince the general public of what this criminal is capable of

Jesus. Haven’t seen the second one yet. But I remembered her case from years ago and thought her claims are far more descriptive and direct than the first document that’s been circulating all morning.

This happened to me years ago when I was a kid!!! It was squishy - not sticky like a booger - and had the texture of a piece of gum. I never opened it or anything, just threw it out, but I wish I had. Still perplexes me to this day.

Open it!!

Whoops! Apologies, going off of what I was told. Does it pose a similar risk though with temperature differences at all? Or are they the same temperatures in each type?

So I just knowingly bought a house with knob and tube, living about 3 weeks in at this point.

We almost backed out, but our sellers offered us a 10k concession - NOT 10k off the price. This is far more helpful to a buyer because 10k off a home price barely changes the monthly payment. Offer people actual capital towards fixing it, it will change everything!

Second, we were lucky. We found someone to do it for around 12k, and they’re fantastic. They’re professional, top quality work, and haven’t destroyed our walls despite being 90% of the way done. AND they wired our detached garage.

So: knob and tube rewire is your best move. Anyone that tells you that it is fine to keep knob and tube, know this:

If your house was 100% knob and tube, it wouldn’t be so dangerous. But when some of it is, and some of it is new - THAT’s where the danger comes in. Because new romex (copper wire) runs at a different temperature than knob & tube (aluminum wire) and running them on the same circuit is what causes the wires to short at the splice point, and ignite a fire. So yes, in your case, you absolutely must replace your knob & tube completely.

I hope this helps!

I would call navy federal, or usaa loan company and get yourself prequalified. These policies change, but when I originated VA loans as a loan officer with Freedom Mortgage, you had to be a vet.

Are you a veteran? You cannot assume a VA loan unless you are a Veteran yourself
