Nougat,

Not only that - he's got many other criminal counts still pending. The potential witnesses to those crimes are paying close attention to how much protection these witnesses get in the wake of their testimony.

Lift this gag order, Trump goes on a rampage, witnesses get an increased level of threats or, god forbid, actual violence - that is a chilling effect on witnesses in all of Trump's other cases, and to a lesser extent, for witnesses in any future cases involving any defendant.

Nougat,

Like Judge Cannon, right?

Nougat,

Regarding your number three, a lot of the time you're cold calling some wage slave who has neither the interest nor authority to buy anything from you.

"Every business is a fuck" gets my vote, but the people you're cold calling are not necessarily a fuck.

Nougat,

Cool, cool, cool - Jim Jordan, too, right?

Nougat,

How many of the rest of us get to appeal our four month prison sentences to the Supreme Court of the United States of America with any expectation that they would hear the case?

Nougat,

How about when someone gets sentenced to prison, they - I dunno - get sent to fucking prison by the law enforcement personnel in the fucking courtroom?

Nougat,

Gestures broadly

Nougat,

Oh I'm sure. When I was in Catholic elementary school in the late 70s and early 80s, there was still a paddle on display in the office. Whether it was still put to use or not, I can't say, but as children, it was pointed out to everyone, and we all feared it. The administration actively failed to dispel any myths about it, so even if they weren't still beating children with it physically, they still were mentally.

I am scared to flirt with girls.

I don’t have any issue talking to girls when the intent is not romantic/sexual. OK I have met someone, first few conversations went alright, how do I transition to something else without being embarrassed and feeling like a dick? Like, if I want to say something technical or communicate for something else, everything is fine....

Nougat,

Always remember: If you say something to someone which "alarms or disturbs" them, you can be arrested for disorderly conduct.

Edit: Even if you do no such thing, all they have to do is lie.

Nougat,

Those are the chances you take.

Nougat,

Women for the most part aren't insane demons ...

I agree. But how can you tell? When there's a risk of arrest and criminal charges, it's better to just steer clear.

Nougat,

I said exactly what I meant, nothing more, nothing less. Whatever you're reading into that is on you.

Nougat,

I refer you to the comment you replied to:

Nougat,

Let us not forget that Republicans opposed Social Security in the early 1930s.

Nougat,

Taking the Lord's name in vain? Straight to jail.

Nougat,

Commanding Yahweh to bring damnation in order to satisfy your personal frustration is exactly that.

Nougat,

Or just add at the bottom:

  1. Fuck pornstars and pay them to keep quiet.
Nougat,

More to the point, in a FPTP + EC, a failure to vote for the candidate you hate least in certain states gives the candidate you hate more a better chance of winning the presidency.

While the propagandists would have us believe otherwise, this is not "supporting 'genocide'." It's just math.

Do you live in Illinois? Idaho? Vote for whoever you want. Illinois is going to send its electors for Biden, and Idaho is going to send its electors for Trump, and your vote is not going to change that. Wisconsin, Pennsylvania, Arizona? Check yourself before you wreck fucking everything.

Nougat,

Democrats dont have a better choice because they never hold their politicians accountable.

Al Franken has entered the chat.

Rod Blagojevich has entered the chat

James Traficant has entered the chat

Bob Menendez has entered the chat

Nougat,

They're probably posting from Russia.

Nougat,

Here's a description of how this works:

Let’s look at a concrete example to get a better sense of what’s going on. A taxpayer has a property which has appreciated. It currently has a market value of $1 million, with a cost basis [how much was paid for it] of $100,000. This taxpayer wishes to conduct an outright sale. If that happens, though, the taxpayer would incur a significant liability because of the sizable gain [capital gains tax on the difference between the cost basis and the sale price]. The taxpayer, therefore, finds a related party who has a much higher basis of, say, $950,000 on a property with a current market value of $1.1 million. The parties then conduct a direct swap exchange.

Based on the foregoing example, the related party receives a property with a market value of $1 million. Meanwhile, the cost basis of $950,000 stays the same. The related party then ultimately sells the relinquished property and incurs a much, much, smaller liability [capital gains tax] from the sale. The two parties then distribute the profits between themselves. Eventually, the related party reacquires the replacement property with a deed back.

This type of transaction may not run afoul of the requirements of Section 1031 on paper. Clearly, though, it offends the underlying purposes of Code Section 1031. The sole purpose of the related party is to realize greater profits. The courts have now collapsed these types of transactions. “Basis shifting” is now a well-established violation of the related party rules.

Of particular note, this is already a violation. What the IRS wants to do is actually enforce the rules that this behavior violates.

Nougat,

"Ukraine, I unfriend you!"

Nougat,

Hospitals jacking up prices is kind of a function of the insurance industry. Insurance says "We're only going to pay you ten percent of what you've actually billed," so health care providers take the amount that they're willing to receive for the services and add a zero to the end. This becomes the "retail price," and you don't get access to the insurance price. Only the insurance companies do, and you have to pay them a monthly "protection fee," whether you require healthcare that month or not.

Nougat,

FWIW, Cigna insurance tells its insured people that health care providers are never supposed to send bills to patients.

Colorado Republican Brutally Grilled By Local News Anchor: ‘Why Is Abortion Good For Your Girlfriend? Bad For Other Women?’ (www.mediaite.com)

Colorado congressional candidate and sitting State Rep. Richard Holtorf ® received a tough grilling this week at the hands of local 9News anchor Kyle Clark over his apparent hypocrisy when it comes to abortion rights....

Nougat,

I'm a pro-life person ... there are times when you need an abortion.

That's pro-choice my man.

Nougat,

Mayor Rudy Giuliani's integrity and commitment to the truth is unwavering.

wat

Nougat,

Now do Proud Boys, Oath Keepers, etc.

Nougat,

It's just business, decrease state funding, federal emergency disaster relief will pay for it instead.

Nougat,

V'Ger

Nougat,

I’ll take “Envelope Stuffed With Cash” for 200.

Nougat,

Miller believes a standardized test at the high school level, called the Armed Services Vocational Aptitude Battery, should be administered to all students to help funnel potential recruits into positions within the military, based on their skills and intellect levels.

Let me take a wild guess which people would get "funneled into positions" as officers, and who would end up as fodder infantry.

Nougat,

Oh, sure - I knew I was going to get that technically wrong. I was trying to use the least number of words to express that it would be quite simple to use this kind of thing to put the "right" people in charge of decision-making, and the "wrong" people into deadly combat situations, or at the very least, into positions lowly enough that they can be systematically conditioned to stifle their own political will.

"Right" and "wrong" above can certainly mean stupid shit like "skin color" or "ethnicity," but I was actually thinking about it in terms of political ideology. Dead people can't vote.

Nougat,

Just think of how marijuana legalization would help the taco truck industry!

Nougat,

Here's the thing about that gag order: It applies to everyone involved in the litigation. Defense, then-defendant-now-convicted-felon, and prosecution.

What it does not apply to are witnesses or bystanders or jurors. Because those people were neither accused nor convicted of any crimes.

Nougat,

Add motorcyclist to your list.

Nougat,

It absolutely is. States are granted the right to send representatives to Congress in pretty much any way they see fit.

Nougat,

Oh god, don't make me remember that.

Nougat,

I'm guessing that alternative front ends (piped, FreeTube, whatever) don't give YouTube the same metrics they would get if I was using YouTube directly? I will continue to deny them the data they so desire.

Nougat,

The only thing relevant about Hunter Biden's conviction is that his father, who is the current President of the United States, isn't pardoning him, even though he has every power to do so.

Nougat,

Could. Has stated he will not.

Nougat,

The Biden administration fears that Israeli PM Netanyahu might reject the deal even if Hamas accepts it.

The final decision rests with Hamas.

Those two statements seem to be in contradiction.

Nougat,

I am aware of that; I checked.

I also didn't make mention of it, because it's really not relevant.

Nougat,

Yes, WW1

The cemetery contains the graves of 2,289 war dead, most of whom fought in the vicinity and in the Marne Valley in the summer of 1918.

Nougat,

To be fair, it seems that many of Jim Jones' supporters woke up when they were at the end of a gun being commanded to commit suicide.

It took that.

Nougat,

The other side of that was that many of them did not, and were holding the guns and doing the commanding.

Nougat,

It has nothing to do with "racism" and "bigotry", ... too concern with helping everyone else, and not their own.

Tell me you're racist without saying you're racist.

Nougat,

What could go wrong?

Nougat,

After? Here I thought the content of that interview (among other things) was supposed to be used by the judge to determine sentencing.
