@#36 ... Try him in a court of law or shut the ---- up.

Otherwise, it didn't happen. ...

So, your current alias agrees that Pres Trump is then guilty of 34 felony counts, as tried in a Court of Law, and was found to be guilty.

The world oil market seems to have many variables.

Some even seem to be rational.

Pres Trump's tariff policies seem to be changing how world trade works.

And, possibly, with the outcome he had hoped for with his transactional approach.

World trade seems to be moving to go around the US.

There's this ...

@#10 ... You don't "win" the Nobel.
You must, in the eyes of the committee, earn it. ...

Bingo.

@#2 ... Interesting 3 systems popped up at the same time today. ...

Well, it is that time of the year.

Here in CT, we don't usually see hurricanes that concern us until late September or October.

Emphasis upon "usually."

Yeah, as Ii read the summary, i said to myself, this has to be an Onion parody.

Thanks to The Onion for providing this but of humor in the middle of a shht-storm. ...

I chuckled as i read it.

thx.

Yeah, it looks to be going out to the fishes, as the local forecasters here like to say.

There's a high pressure system that has dropped in from Canada, that looks to push that tropical storm out to the mid-atlantic.

Meanwhile, because of that high pressure system, I've been enjoying nighttime low temps in the mid-50's.

So, the air conditioners have had a much-deserved rest.

@#3 ... Cry all you want but the gig is up... Jack should have continued his prosecution if he had the juice, but he didn't... ...

He didn't continue because the DoJ guidelines states that a sitting President cannot be investigated.

@#3 ... They all do the same thing. ...

Got links?

Or is your current alias just squeezing out more diarrhea again?

@#1 ... So Musk is a crook just like Trump? Surprised? Not even. ...

So, I'm not the only person who noticed that possible similarity?

@#2 ... So we have to protect ourselves from the folks we pay to protect us. ...

That seems to be the case, based upon this apparent assault.

@#2

Yeah, each member of that cast was great, imo.

I did not mean to say I preferred Ms Anderson over anyone else.

That ensemble cast were all great in their roles.

@#7

My sincere condolences.

... "Job seekers are out in the cold this summer. Especially the ones who have been hunting for a while," the Wall Street Journal reports. ...

From the cited article ...

... "Beyond the headline-grabbing top-line numbers in the jobs report for July was another striking piece of data: The number of people unemployed for at least 27 weeks topped 1.8 million, the highest level since 2017, not counting the pandemic's unemployment surge.

The median length of unemployment in the U.S. has also ticked up, from a seasonally adjusted 9.5 weeks in July 2024 to 10.2 weeks last month." ...

... Trump's order offers three reasons why transgender people should be excluded from military service.

It posits, first, that transgender soldiers undermine unit cohesion, which is argued to be an essential ingredient of military effectiveness; second, that transgender people are incapable of meeting the military's rigorous standards and adversely affect readiness; and third, that transgender soldiers lack the honor and truthfulness needed to serve because they are living a lie.

The problem is that each of these claims is false, as I noted when these issues arose when Trump first came into office.

Transgender troops have served honorably with no adverse effect on cohesion or readiness for years.

The order to remove them from the military is not based on any evidence to the contrary and is thus without foundation.

To be the object of such a sweeping order, one might think that transgender people make up a large proportion of the U.S. military.

That is incorrect. Of the 2 million Americans who serve on active duty or in the National Guard and reserves, an estimated 15,500 -- less than eight-tenths of 1 percent -- are transgender. ...

More from the OpEd ...

... Editor's Note: The Trump administration has moved quickly to ban transgender people from serving in the U.S. military.

The George Washington University's Alexander Downes reviews the justifications the administration has cited -- the cost to unit cohesion, the medical cost to the military, and the dishonorable nature of transgender people in general -- and finds all of them wanting, making a strong case that transgender people should be welcome in the U.S. armed forces.

Daniel Byman ...

@#55 ... No he didn't. ...

So, why does the Trump admin seem to be doing such a major, ummm ~tail between its legs,~ TACO on this one?

More from the article ...

... It's not the only case that has featured the 3,000-arrest-per-day target as a crucial piece of evidence that the administration's single-minded drive to rack up arrests may have prompted immigration authorities to cut corners or break the law. Washington-based Judge Jia Cobb, a Biden appointee, cited the figure when she ruled Friday that the administration's dramatic expansion of "expedited" deportation proceedings violated the law. And Judge Trina Thompson, a Biden appointee in San Francisco, pointed to the purported goal Thursday when she blocked the administration's bid to end temporary protected status for tens of thousands of Nicaraguan, Honduran and Nepali immigrants.

But on Wednesday, the Justice Department said no such orders had ever been given. ...

@#2

Good point.

Even with that, though, the Trump admin seems to back away from it in court proceedings.

@#9 ... Have you ever heard the words "due process?" ...

Bingo.
