Emmitt Fitz-Hume @efitzhume.bsky.social · 05/10/2026The Trump Years. Only human is Jack Smith. I’m confident that’s the way he feels anyhow. 000
Emmitt Fitz-Hume @efitzhume.bsky.social · 10/09/2026Civil contempt is by definition coercive, not punitive. It is intended to get someone to do what he is supposed to do, or not do what is not supposed to do. Once the contemnor complies, the contempt is purged. Criminal contempt requires all the procedures of criminal prosecution. Different ballgame. 050
Emmitt Fitz-Hume @efitzhume.bsky.social · 08/09/2026The first cited item of evidence is not specific, and says nothing about the credibility of the testimony. The second cited item is not evidence of a deal between Reagan and the Iranians. Wanting to help someone, and entering into an agreement with that person to help him, are vastly different. 000
Emmitt Fitz-Hume @efitzhume.bsky.social · 08/09/2026Reagan did plenty of vile and horrible things which can be proven. We do ourselves and the study of history no favors by asserting as fact that which rises only to the level of unproven suspicion. 100
Emmitt Fitz-Hume @efitzhume.bsky.social · 08/09/2026Joe turned out to be a pretty good Trump stand-in, but couldn’t possibly have been intended as one. The movie was written, produced, and released before Trump ever announced his 2016 run. 110
Emmitt Fitz-Hume @efitzhume.bsky.social · 08/09/2026I legitimately have no idea what that reply means. 100
Emmitt Fitz-Hume @efitzhume.bsky.social · 08/09/2026The distinction should be based on what percentage of your regular net income is earned vs. passive. 070
Emmitt Fitz-Hume @efitzhume.bsky.social · 08/09/2026There is no verifiable evidence such a deal ever occurred. 300
Emmitt Fitz-Hume @efitzhume.bsky.social · 07/09/2026That’s a mighty generous estimate, but good point. 010
Emmitt Fitz-Hume @efitzhume.bsky.social · 07/09/2026Maybe Vance can pull a Nixon. Lose to a religious minority (in this case, Ossoff), then run and win in 2036. The only problem is Vance has about as much charisma as one of Nixon’s wine farts. 100
Emmitt Fitz-Hume @efitzhume.bsky.social · 07/09/2026Louisville and Ole Miss need to keep playing hard until 1 second after the final whistle sounds. 020
Emmitt Fitz-Hume @efitzhume.bsky.social · 07/09/2026Hot take: while decent, Caddyshack is the most overrated in the 1980s comedy catalog. Chase, Murray, and Dangerfield all went on to do much better work in much better movies during the decade. 130
Emmitt Fitz-Hume @efitzhume.bsky.social · 07/09/2026The Fire Inside. “No matter what you dream or feel or say, it ends in dust and disarray” seems at present a fitting expectation for this season. 010
Emmitt Fitz-Hume @efitzhume.bsky.social · 07/09/2026The problem is many of their concerns aren’t real. 070
Emmitt Fitz-Hume @efitzhume.bsky.social · 23/08/2026Whichever one of you gets elected, congrats, Shia LaBoeuf is playing you in the biopic. 020
Emmitt Fitz-Hume @efitzhume.bsky.social · 19/08/2026That’s not the point here. Caruso hasn’t been charged with anything yet. But he also wasn’t arrested for any offense which carries the death penalty. 000
Emmitt Fitz-Hume @efitzhume.bsky.social · 19/08/2026No it wouldn’t. Sexual battery is a different crime than L&L Molestation. 000
Emmitt Fitz-Hume @efitzhume.bsky.social · 19/08/2026Also, execution for capital sexual battery is unconstitutional per the US Supreme Court. And the Florida Supreme Court. Florida amended 794.011 a few years back for the explicit purpose of creating a test case to overturn those cases. Hasn’t happened yet. 100
Emmitt Fitz-Hume @efitzhume.bsky.social · 19/08/2026That’s Florida’s sexual battery statute. He’s not accused of sexual battery. Lewd & Lascivious offenses are under a different statute. None carry the death penalty. L&L Exhibition is a 2nd deg felony. Max 15 years. 200
Emmitt Fitz-Hume @efitzhume.bsky.social · 19/08/2026None of those is a capital offense in Florida. 100
Emmitt Fitz-Hume @efitzhume.bsky.social · 30/07/2026It would be borderline - if not actual - malpractice for Fauci’s lawyer to advise him to answer a single question today. 000
Emmitt Fitz-Hume @efitzhume.bsky.social · 30/07/2026Of course they do. Congressional hearings are investigatory, not adjudicatory. Nobody who is suspected of criminal wrongdoing (see, eg, Paul repeatedly saying he believes Fauci is a criminal) has any obligation to cooperate with an investigation by providing a sworn statement. 120
Emmitt Fitz-Hume @efitzhume.bsky.social · 17/07/2026My man looks like he wants it to put the lotion in the basket. 0200
Emmitt Fitz-Hume @efitzhume.bsky.social · 17/07/2026Don't let them give you any of that flank steak bullshit. 010
Emmitt Fitz-Hume @efitzhume.bsky.social · 11/07/2026That may be more true in MLB than other leagues. I may be mistaken, but I believe the NFL has a CBA which mandates players be paid a certain fixed % of league revenue. So at least in the NFL, more parity and fan interest leads to higher league revenue which leads to higher overall player pay. 100
Emmitt Fitz-Hume @efitzhume.bsky.social · 11/07/2026You’ve stated that twice now. Respectfully, that’s a conclusion, not a rebuttal. It’s certainly possible I misunderstand sports economics. If you’re game, please explain why. 120
Emmitt Fitz-Hume @efitzhume.bsky.social · 11/07/20261. I don’t dispute drafts have “anti-labor” features, as compared to a completely free labor market. 2. That doesn’t mean drafts are lacking features which also benefit labor. 110
Emmitt Fitz-Hume @efitzhume.bsky.social · 11/07/2026Small market or less wealthy teams (often the same thing) wouldn’t survive without drafts. Fewer teams means fewer potential employers, which significantly shifts bargaining power from the potential player pool to the few remaining employers. 100
Emmitt Fitz-Hume @efitzhume.bsky.social · 11/07/2026Ask Jeremyah Love if he objects to the draft. He went #3 to the Cardinals, despite running back not being a particularly high value position in the modern NFL. But the Cardinals, for whatever reason, think he best fits what they need. So he’s getting paid like a #3 draft pick. 300
Emmitt Fitz-Hume @efitzhume.bsky.social · 11/07/2026Drafts: 1) Encourage parity, which serves to increase overall fan interest and thus league revenue, which increases (how, depending on league) overall player compensation. 2) Tend to match players with team who most values the player’s skills. Without drafts, most pro leagues would not survive. 230
Emmitt Fitz-Hume @efitzhume.bsky.social · 08/07/2026I truly wonder whether Brexit or the US electing Trump will be remembered as the greatest national/social/political self-inflicted catastrophe of the last 80 years. Right now my vote is for Brexit. The US will survive Trump weakened but intact. Mr. Epner is correct the UK may be torn asunder. 010

Emmitt Fitz-Hume @efitzhume.bsky.social · 18/05/2026Don’t you hate it when you fabricate “intelligence,” leak it to @barakravid.bsky.social, but then forget to send an email to the local sheriff to at least make your bullshit look plausible? 000
Emmitt Fitz-Hume @efitzhume.bsky.social · 17/05/2026So does Trump. I mocked (and mock) him extensively. Much peril has ensued. 021
