Hasn't Trump done irreparable harm to the taxpayers whose money was misappropriated? Unless Trump is returning all of it to the Treasury.

Absurd. They had to stop, because Trump kicked out 40% of the pool. No crew, no coverage.

Given that they are protected by both State and Tribal laws, it is beyond me why the contractors think they can just destroy the giant cactuses.

It's a mistake to read GoT as "medieval" or the characters as pre-enlightenment.

If the USA must endure this new Reign of Terror, we must remember how easy it is to build a guillotine and use it.

They clearly did, and made the same mistake. Likewise Tolkien --- Palantir, for God's sake!

That is true. Last time I had it (in the 1970s) I was unable to get to the bathroom without help for two weeks. Then convalescent for two more weeks. Get the vax!

Apparently Marjoe Gortner died a couple days ago, according to Wikipedia, though there are no news articles about it. From a child preacher to an absolutely unhinged villain in Earthquake to the Luke Skywalker to Hasselhoff's Han Solo in Starcrash, Marjoe had a fascinating life.

For more than 160 uninterrupted years, federal law has prohibited troops wherever an election is held. The Insurrection Act’s grant of authority to the president does not supersede Section 592’s prohibition on armed people at the polls, writes @lorenvoss.bsky.social and @nkorpett.bsky.social.

The Insurrection Act Is No Exception to the Troops-at-Polls Ban

Congress restricted military deployments to election sites, even when a broader deployment authority might otherwise apply.

No, as Secretary of State she could have been impeached. Not that anyone wanted to do that... Endless Benghazi trials suited the Republicans much better.

Moving air in the room really helps my mild claustrophobia. A fan, air conditioner venting, open windows. I can't tolerate being in a closed room with no air movement.

I seriously doubt that Trump has ever been in a car doing more than 50 mph. 60 probably feels "faster than anyone has ever gone before "

The Kennedy Memorial Center is the official monument to the memory of an assassinated US president. Tearing it down is no different than tearing down the Lincoln Memorial. Trump is a monster.

If he wants them so much, he can pay for them himself, out of his billions. That would be perfectly legal. Why is it so important that he steal from taxpayers?

Usually when a studio licenses a book, the contract includes giving the publisher the key art for use on a tie in edition.That edition functions as advertising for the studio as well as enhancing book sales.Authors agents make sure it is there, even if the publisher is not negotiating the film deal.

No. Trad publishing pays royalties on cover price except in specific exceptions. The discount is being covered by splitting between retailer and publisher's shares.
