Just remember, if you watch this movie, watch the unedited, original.
The neutered-for-broadcast version is nowhere near the same.

Trump has technically already paid E Jean Carroll - he was ordered to escrow the money pending his appeals.
He has one appeal left - to SCOTUS.
If SCOTUS refuses to hear the case or decides against him, then the escrowed money is released.

It didn't make a difference did it.

You can actually re-light an Olympic Flame/cauldron, under very specific circumstances.
Atlanta's was re-lit for a couple days during the US Olympic Trials prior to the Paris Games.

It can start with all those MAGA kids that voted for Trump because "they're stealing our jobs"
Well, kids, they're gone. Get to work.

This is what happens when you finally reach the tipping point of negating air defenses.

Oh please please please let this become the norm and not the tissue paper like enforcement of the "only the captain talks to the ref" rule.

I'm not sure of it's "balking" maybe more of a "give them a chance to make fools of themselves in court" to help solidify a decision against a higher court overturning it.

Going by what happening with the National Guard there's no plan at all beyond ordering them to the location.
The Guard is currently sleeping on a loading dock at the Federal Building.

On our local Greenway ... there's a fervent drumbeat of "ban the e-bikes they run rampant with speeding"
The reality is the only people speeding on the path are wearing spandex, on road bikes, with Strava yelling out loud at them while they're running a time trial on the path.

In 1992, the only thing that stopped the riots was people rioting no longer rioting.
Police, Sheriff, Guard - all of them completely and totally outnumbered and utterly unable to affect any kind of control.

HD carts are plastic on a metal frame. Plastic will burn quite handily if a fire gets going long enough to melt and ignite the material. Then it burns *fiercely*.
Burning pools of tubing of the same type of plastic are what destroyed I-85 in Atlanta in 2017.

Did he delete the one about mark this post, too?

It was enough to force the immediate return of Abrego Garcia when the contempt order was issued, so evidently the administration thinks it's a valid angle.

And this ...
is why when someone does something like that, you SCREENSHOT it, instead of linking it.
Links are ephemeral.
Screenshots, like the Internet, never go away.

Considering how paranoid this administration is, they probably ordered concrete poured down the barrels to ensure there was no way one could be "used inappropriately" during the parade.
100% these are very pretty for parades, but not actually functional as a tank/weapon.

Already bypassed.
The way the House rule is worded, the provision only applies if there's no surety bond.
Judge Boasberg levied a $1 surety bond for contempt.

They are setting themselves up for a serious shredding in court.
The quality of lawyering from DOJ under Trump is laughable at best.
Abrego Garcia is going to have the best defense team available.

They're searching for dirt.
Now we see if they can convince a Grand Jury to indict.
My bet is they fail.
comment in response to

They have to successfully manage to indict him.
Going to be very interesting to see what happens when they try and convince a Grand Jury made up of real citizens.
(remember how bad at lawyering these people are)

Go look up how high California ranks, by itself, on the list of world economies.
This is no idle threat.
comment in response to
post
Oh this is gonna be good.
First they have to convince a grand jury, then an actual jury, of real citizens.
Using what is almost certainly hysterical, made up, conspiracy theories... tried by the quality of lawyering left at the DOJ.

It's like one side in this battle graduated half of the Judges in Federal service, close to half of the Supreme Court Justices, and two Presidents...
And the other side ... didn't.
The discrepancy in quality of lawyering (as well as legal position) is just mind boggling.

Next question is, does Musk *have a copy* and if he does will he leak them?
He's petty enough to do it, and egotistical enough to believe he can do it without risk.

For any of us that grew up in the 80s this SHOULD have been the ultimate no-brainer.
Anyone that can bankrupt a *casino* should not ever be chosen to lead ANYTHING.
And what we're seeing now proves that to be correct.

I once got someone really mad at me for pointing out that when in Downtown Atlanta all you have to do is drive in a straight line and eventually you'll hit I-285.
So it's impossible to get lost.

Here in Atlanta, it appears the plan is temp grass for CWC and the EPL games over existing turf.
Then Feb 2026 turf is replaced with real grass through the end of the World Cup.
We'll see if the Falcons players can convince them to keep the grass beyond that point, but plans are to return to turf.

They might have hit *three* of these, as there is separate video of an A-50 on a taxiway, which isn't one of these two parked in slots.

If he did, you can bet his advice was "if the other guy wins, don't ever, ever tell him about this"
