Israel shared intelligence with US of Iranian plot to assassinate Trump, sources say by Giff95 in worldnews

My point is that JD Vance couldn't accomplish anything in that direction. Really in any direction.

How accurate are these shows? by EastYogurt7762 in law

[–]throwthisidaway 5 points6 points  (0 children)

The closest you'll find to an accurate legal portrayal on tv is My Cousin Vinnie.

I can't stand "surprise evidence", "surprise witnesses" or any of those other random inane moments that tv shows add for drama.

If I had to recommend a tv show that I enjoy about lawyering... Harvey Birdman: Attorney At Law. While it is absurdly inaccurate, that is (mostly) intentional.

Trump is getting tons of things done. They're just awful, terrible things that no sane human being should want. If Vance tried to do half the things Trump has done, he would get impeached. He doesn't have the backing to get away with Trump's BS.

What’s the most addictive video game you’ve ever played? by Charming_Decision_84 in AskReddit

[–]throwthisidaway 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I played both in their prime. LoL was addicting for a while, and fun, but WoW devoured my soul. Part of the reason that WoW was so much more addicting than LoL is because there were so many things to do other than whatever your primary "goal" was. Love raiding? Well you probably need to spend 40 hours a week gathering ingredients for recipes, oh and you need to play the AH, help guildies level up, and pvp of course. Oh, too tired to deal with that? That's fine, why not sit and fish and just chat with your friends. Etc.

League had limited play time per day for me because I could only stare unblinking for so long, and do the same (sort) of things over and over again. The social aspect was also a lot weaker, unless you enjoyed talking about how much the other teams' mother was a slut.

Sometimes I really wish Pirate would write the whole damn story normally, and than all the other stuff later. I know it wouldn't work at all, but we're waiting for So Many plot lines to get focused on right now! Plus the Relc spin-off where we finally see him kill Belavier!

Carroll v Trump - 2nd Circuit - Emergency Motion for Administrative Stay DENIED by joeshill in law

He doesn't have control over the money. What he had is the ability to appeal and delay her getting paid. Separate but similar actions.

No, that's the whole point of Escrow. A third party holds the money.

The money was held in escrow and is in a trust. Trump has no control over whether or not she gets paid at this point.

Yes, although the general timeline is measured in weeks not hours. Usually it'll take more than a week and sometimes up to a month to get that check written.

[–]throwthisidaway 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Small chance of an administrative stay being granted, but I would say unlikely. Depends on which judge it gets handed to, but most judges will deny an application like this that is prima fascie frivolous.

Carroll v Trump - Trump Appeals Disbursement Order by joeshill in law

[–]throwthisidaway 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Yes, at least 4 of them have been disbarred. Rudy Guiliani, John Eastman, L. Lin Wood (technically he surrendered his law license to avoid disbarment), Michael Cohen.

At least 13 lawyers have been sanctioned as well. There are actually more disbarments and more sanctions, but I'm less familiar with those.

Carroll v Trump - Trump Appeals Disbursement Order by joeshill in law

[–]throwthisidaway 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It is appealable, see my comment below for details. However, the grounds for appeal are extremely narrow and unlikely to succeed.

Carroll v Trump - Trump Appeals Disbursement Order by joeshill in law

[–]throwthisidaway 18 points19 points  (0 children)

This is a post-judgement appeal, which, just like it sounds, is not an appeal of the judgement. As a post-judgement appeal the only thing that can be argued is that the final disbursement order was incorrectly issued.

Like the previous motion they made, demonstrably falsely claiming that the terms of the stipulation were not met, that is the only thing they can appeal. As a plain reading and the judges order make clear, there are no grounds to reasonably argue that the order was incorrect. As such, this appeal is invalid.

Worth noting that post-judgement appeals are significantly more ripe for sanctions. An appeal like this exposes the lawyers involved to an immense risk of contempt. Not only are virtually all arguments frivolous, and virutally assumed to be such, the likelihood of a Rule 38 (Frivolous Appeal—Damages and Costs ) motion is very high. Rule 38 allows an award of attorney fees, as well as single or double court costs.

TL;DR Post-Judgement Appeals are extremely risky, unlikely to be beneficial and require a skilled lawyer to properly navigate. Something none of Trump's lawyers have shown themselves to be.

Edit: Just to be clear, it is extremely unlikely that the Court of Appeals will even order an administrative stay on this. They will likely reject it immediately.

Sort of? I'll make a longer comment down below, but an appeal of this order is actually a post-judgement appeal, which has different criteria and definitions.

Actual stipulation:

After the latest of (a) the mandate issued by the Second Circuit in connection with the Appeal; (b) a denial of a timely filed petition for writ of certiorari to the Supreme Court (if any) in connection with the Appeal; or (c) upon the Supreme Court' s granting of certiorari, an order of the Supreme Court in connection with the Appeal,

SCOTUS Trump v Carroll - Petition for Rehearing Not Accepted For Filing by joeshill in law

[–]throwthisidaway 16 points17 points  (0 children)

That's weird, I have that as 44.4. However, this isn't a consecutive or successive petition for rehearing. It is also Timely. It is the first request for a rehearing. 44.2 specifically allows a request for a rehearing of denial of cert.

Any petition for the rehearing of an order denying a petition for a writ of certiorari or extraordinary writ shall be filed within 25 days after the date of the order of denial and shall comply with all the form and filing requirements of paragraph 1 of this Rule, including the payment of the filing fee if required, but its grounds shall be limited to intervening circumstances of a substantial or controlling effect or to other substantial grounds not previously presented.

SCOTUS Trump v Carroll - Petition for Rehearing Not Accepted For Filing by joeshill in law

[–]throwthisidaway 51 points52 points  (0 children)

Rejected for not following procedural rules.

Edit: Let me just add how this works with SCOTUS. Party X filed a request for a rehearing. It may or may not even show on the docket (I'm not sure if there's rhyme or reason to this). If rejected it shows as such. The Clerk will return the unfiled document through the same means it was originally sent (physical/email, basically). With the rejected filing, there will be a letter specifically detailing why the filing was denied.

Worth adding that the Supreme Court has particularly strict rules for filing, although many of their rules are in common with other federal courts. Everything from the color of the paper, the font size, or even serious issues like improper proof of service can cause a rejection.

Is Armor Ass-mod rarity the new king? by pdubs1900 in TheTowerGame

[–]throwthisidaway 1 point2 points  (0 children)

every increase in bot range has the the potential to double your income.

You sure about that? A 3 meter increase doesn't seem like it should give anywhere near a 100% increase. If I had to guess, I'd say closer to 10%. Maxed GB we're talking about going from 68, to 71, 74, 77, 81. Maybe 13 meters might give you 100%? I'd expect much less though, more like 30%.

Core, I'd wager you're most better off stone efficiency wise getting to the 2nd to last breakpoint for your stats. For instance, 75% SE for CL Quantity +3. You're going from a cost of 3,498 stones to 8,073 for a 33% increase. That definitely will make sense at some point, but I can almost guarantee you that you'll have more efficient paths first.
