  1. One description I heard, that I thought was rather apt, was that SCOTUS was more concerned about the risk of allowing states to exclude a candidate than the risk of allowing this candidate.
  2. Probably was too glib at the time, but not wrong unfortunately. I think there is a lot at stake this election and not just for the US.
  3. I think the SCOTUS hearing was always going to be about how to find the most expedient off-ramp.
  4. They can. However the way the ruling is written is that a request for en banc hearing would not delay release of the mandate. In other words, the simple request wouldn't change anything. However a petition for cert would delay release of mandate.
  5. Because profitable future growth of the NHL is not in Canada.
  6. Interesting comment, considering there is more than one post from you explaining how the Muslim faith is inherently evil because the writings in the Koran are bad.
  7. Second case, which timeline wise is really the first case, has larger damages because his reach as President was that much greater, and with it the damages for defamation are that much greater.
  8. I am still trying to figure why people have no problems with cheerleaders being featured during the football game but are upset when a successful woman is being featured during that same football game. /s
  9. Friend of mine owns a fully loaded 2023 and let me take it from Vancouver to Whistler on a recent ski trip. What a beauty of a car.
  10. So the best selling car in the world is electric and is going to grow sales by 16% in 2024 and you present that as evidence of the imminent demise of electric cars? That MBA really paid off.
  11. And that 5M came out of a transfer of around $55M from Trump Org which the court appointed monitor wasn't told about. The remaining $50M might be tight to an undisclosed loan between Trump and an LLC without any reported value which is probably being used to avoid paying personal taxes. Which would be illegal. I will never understand who Republicans have hitched their wagon to a con artist.
  12. Thank you for proving Trump is indeed one of the worst leaders one could find.
  13. And for an appeal I am pretty sure he has to put up a bond for the $83.3 million.
  14. Nothing too fancy; Audi S5, but I like it. Smile on my face every morning. The dog's car is a Honda Fit.
  15. Maybe. I love my car, puts a smile on my face every morning when I start it up. So I can understand people wanting to spend money for a car that they enjoy. The dog's car on the other hand is just utilitarian.
  16. True. However, I also have a feeling Oppenheimer didn't think what he was working on would power a cellphone either. We always seem to think we are at the end of an improvement cycle.
  17. I don't get it, Trump is an expert builder and he was going to build a wall and that was going to stop illegal immigration? If Trump was any good at what he did, how could there be an illegal immigration issue at the Southern border?
  18. He couldn't distinguish between his wife and E Jean Carroll in a picture.... You guys will tell yourself anything instead of recognizing you are supporting a rapist. The women in your life must be so proud of you.
  19. Here is another one, or just google Betavolt a Chinese company which claims to have developed a nuclear battery that can power a cellphone for 50 years without charging. https://insideevs.com/news/704871/china-betavolt-atomic-energy-battery/
  20. By that time maybe we'll have nuclear batteries that outlast the lifecycle of the car without requiring a charge: https://economictimes.indiatimes.com/news/international/business/china-introduces-revolutionary-nuclear-battery-that-lasts-50-years-without-charging/articleshow/106880627.cms?from=mdr
  21. And I didn't expect you to defend a rapist....but here we are.
  22. And then brought their families in through chain migration.
  23. Exactly, why go to the moon when we can't even get to Mars yet.
