US Court. Nothing to see here.

I do. Sorta. Nothing you've said suggests any "random" cautions, in fact you cited it as a consequence of Rep. Jordan "…ask[ing] the witness to identify those he had spoken to". Since the whistleblower's identity is deliberately being withheld, it would be only sensible and prudent to remind a...

You're quite right I stopped the playback after the first endless minute. If I wanted to watch other people at their tedious labour I'd already have watched it real-time, on the day. As I said earlier, I lost my taste for wasting time that way back when better people were doing a better job on...

We have three, a pair of orange tabby brothers from a shelter and a black feral who adopted us after I did the TNR-routine on him. They entertain, they comfort and they teach me something almost every day. I wouldn't be without them.

Sorta like smart bankruptcies? Where you have lotsa actual funds to pay what you owe/what we pay, but the paperwork says you don't have to? 'Cause you're 'elite'.

Perhaps to prevent Rep. Jordan from asking questions aimed at identifying the whistleblower. What you describe in no way proves that Schiff knows the identity, that Vindman does, or that Schiff feared, guessed or knew that Vindman might have named the person. Sometimes a caution from the Chair...

I believe that's what he's been doing for the past year or so. If the owners had no interest in him, there'd have been no event to report. 'Owner' is an interesting word, given the slavery context you say is so far-fetched. Back in the days of that Peculiar Institution Southern plantation...

The story covered more complexities of being dumped in a foreign country than just cannabis possession, but it clearly stated that at least one passenger said she was carrying; that's why it came up. Reading at its best?

It's commendable the NFL is so generous to the workers its teams buy and sell among themselves.

Thanks for the effort at debate. I hereby assert my viewpoint the same way. Consider yourself devastated by your own logic.

It's no surprise McConnell is so certain of the loyalty of his well-disciplined GOP Senators. It is a bit of a surprise to read him complaining that the House is responsible for Congress getting nothing done, because one of its Committees is having some hearings. Isn't the Senate a...

Since you claim to see it, why not point it out? Apparently the Chief Justice of the United States thinks the matter is uncertain enough to be worth a serious look. Why don't you lay out your true reality for him and us?

It's somewhat mystifying how duly constituted authorities scrutinizing the supposedly proper, officially accepted, complete and fully paid-up tax returns of a President, "…from before he was in office" (eight years before) could possibly affect that person's performance of his official duties...

That goes a little beyond the source article. How many other "illegally" occupied bases and places are they intending to leave? And is this 'leaving' done only when they are ordered? By the local authorities? Or by the commander of the incoming helicopter forces? Your closing comment seemed a...

And once again the duly constituted laws, authorities and courts functioned just as we expect and want them to*: Without impending crisis, or need for extreme intervention From On High. Deep or shallow, the state functions as it should. If you're trying to alert us to something other than...
