Mark, consider using one of your presser Qs to try and get an answer as to why Breggen is not playing. Feel like he would have helped today!

Naive

There was a protest group every day on a street corner during the initial stages of the Gaza war. Not a goddamn peep since Trump came in.

I'm sure if they kill enough people they'll find a moderate. Eventually.

I suspect the next rung of civil/military leadership has emerged and it's not to our liking, so they'll get targeted. Our civilian bombings seem more like negligence than a deliberate tactic.

This seems like old dudes confronting their mortality and doing their bucket list.

Yes, but what is the law, really?

When George mentors some kid to be an architect, and the kid decides that being a city planner is cooler.

To crib Seinfeld, McConnell is more like the city planner of the moment. Create conditions and watch what happens.

Sure, but in some places they're a primary law enforcement agency and in others they're not.

I'll note that many 287Gs are entered into with sheriffs and not local governments. That will mean the level of actual law enforcement authority of the agreements may differ state to state.

We're living in the burbs now and it ain't the best.

Oh, I see they spent the extra 30 minutes really tightening this speech up.

I think he feels that democracies have higher burdens of behavior, so when one is so consistently fucking up his vision of a "flat" world, he's just exasperated. Like, come on guys what hell you're supposed to be making things better!

You're right, I just loved that one finish from Bogacz last year. Could see the potential.

Darn, thought he would have been a good backup to Chupo this year.

Anything to Jorge Ruvalcaba to red bull?

"Unoccupy Wall Street!"

Tried disabling it, rendered Gmail unusable. Terrible.

Common clay of the new west, etc etc

Gotcha! I wish there was some reporting as to what stage this was at. With a civil complaints it's easy enough to just say oh these are only allegations, but here, presumably someone with authority thinks there is something to this.

Any idea what kind of hearing this was? Reporting is pretty vague and whether or not a prosecutor was involved in today's hearing seems significant.

Yeah but this guy was an outlier in the replies.

You're forgetting concessions.

Hmmm, I think it was on the wrong continent.

Usually such a column about an acquaintance would include a disclosure...

Wasn't his problem was that he loved democracy just a little too much?

Dino Dana on Amazon is worth a watch!

"attempts".

I'll have Laura text you!
