Not “may”, the wording is “shall” and “with””. And while I would have rather they try to end run around the road block, shall and with have specific meaning in legal documents that is much less wishy-washy than “may”

This announcement is entirely part of a plan trying to build up good will before ruling Trump immune from everything.

I wonder how hard it will be to make this all… DISAPPEAR…

The book is so much better than the Pirates adaptation. I was looking for fantasy books a few years ago that didn’t have such a Eurocentric setting and stumbled across this. I liked Tim Powers so I read it and enjoyed it tremendously.

This book is fantastic, it’s got “Fencing. Fighting. Torture. Poison. True love. Hate. Revenge. Giants. Hunters. Bad men. Good men. Beautifulest ladies. Snakes. Spiders. Beasts of all natures and descriptions. Pain. Death. Brave men. Coward men. Strongest men. Chases. Escapes. Lies. Truths. Passion. Miracles.”

If you love the movie, this book is the movie ramped up your 11.

Not even being subtle here.

Bah, like the Romulans could do any better.

If a bear pisses in the woods, would Bear Grylls try to drink it before going back to his hotel for the night?

In a normal media environment I’d agree with you completely, the problem is that we have a media apparatus that is set up as a propaganda arm of a political party and mainstream media thinks that balance is that any negative news story must be balanced by a negative news story in the other direction (“Trump incites riot and Biden mispronounced his granddaughters name, why both could mean the collapse of their campaigns” type coverage), instead of being balanced in standards of reporting.

I don’t know what the solution is. My strategy though is to work down ballot to get better people in positions to push Biden and get him more flexibility to make better choices and changes.

Sure it’s good, but it’s no Streets of Rage… 😉

I’m a Xennial and we had a console TV growing up and used it throughout the 90’s (possibly after in the early 2000s as well). We moved twice and that thing was a beast to move. No remote control though. The kids were the remote control for the grown ups.
