So, get a voicemail at work about a potential client. I call the dude back, and he immediately sounds...off. Starts into his spiel, which involves him being in town from another state "that is too full of Mexicans" for a hearing on a felony here "which is no big deal, it's dismissed."
"Somehow" he got 30 days in jail for contempt of court during said hearing, and that led to the problem he wanted me to take on (rental car bill for not returning their vehicle for...30 days). He told me he "ended Hertz" and that he was going to take down those "n***** loving pricks at [other rental company]" I stop him mid-rant and said yeah, man, my firm isn't going to represent you while you're talking that way. He screams "WELL, HAVE FUN WITH YOUR N*****S" and hangs up.
I had a hunch and looked up his charges. Yep, he's on the registry for soliciting sex with a child (who was an undercover cop).
Law!
Gritty “21 Jump Street” rebootMust be a pretty advanced child to also be an undercover cop.
"Doogie Howser, Cpt."
* Athletes and celebrities should STFU about social and political issues. NOBODY wants to hear your bs.
Well, unless they agree with me. Then it's cool. Thanks for speaking up!!
* Arch Manning plays at Newman -- a solid 4 blocks from my house. Be a whole lot cooler if people could actually attend.
* More sportswriter BS:
Local guy pleading for residents to stand down and stand by during Saints game, thus preserving the hopes of proceeding forward with Mardi Gras in February. Behave now, so we can have the goodies later.
Next level woke + an impassioned plea. What a lowercase fukboi.
* I know running is gay and stuff, but if you've seen the Netflix documentary about The Barkley Marathons, the same guy started a "last man standing" format run about 8 years ago called "Big's Backyard Ultra."
Big = his dog's name
location = his back yard
4.16667 mile loop. Start every hour on the hour. Run as many laps/starting at the top of every hour as possible. Last man standing wins.
Started as a low key event, before some of the elites began showing up. Race starts Saturday morning, and a couple years ago it went until Monday. Record was pushed above 250 miles. This year it went worldwide/virtual. ~ 20 countries with teams of 15, each doing their own 4.1667 mile loop. The American winner was a woman -- about 285 miles, or 68 hours/loops (Courtney Dauwalter -- she's been on Joe Rogan before). On the last lap, the other guy she was tied with (Harvey Lewis -- teacher from Cincinnati), started the lap, then turned back after just a few steps because he was so tired/delirious. Internationally, a couple of Belgians went 75 hours, and could have gone much further.
The human body is truly amazing.
* The Trial Of The Chicago 7 --> fantastic.
* White Wayne needs to make a few good posts, at the very least, before anyone around here gives a damn what he has to say. Not holding my breath.
Shoo, their endurance discussing and repeating stories with other hens is even more impressive.Pretty neat how women significantly close the gap on endurance sports the longer they go.
So Mags was tweeting about this, and it is interesting the timing, about the Hunter Biden emails...Why is anyone interested?
It’s not just that Hunter was “allegedly” profiting off his dads name, but “the big guy’s 10%” implies that the Vice President of the US was selling access to foreign influence and laundering it through his son. That is a big deal.
Is this not what the Russia collusion investigation and impeachment focused on? So why was it so important then and you don’t care now?
I mean, I don’t know if it’s true. They have people confirming the emails are real (hunters former business associates who are in prison) and the FBI and Director of National intelligence saying this is not Russian counterintelligence, as ol’ Shifty Schiff wants you to believe.
You’ve got big tech actively suppressing the story and now being subpoenaed by the Senate to answer for it.
Joe Biden is on tape bragging about getting a Ukrainian prosecutor fired for investigating the company Hunter was on the board of. Trump sent Guliani over to Ukraine to dig up dirt and then has a phone call leaked and lead to an impeachment. Did Rudy get the goods and they’ve been sitting on this “trump card” for an October surprise?
Mags does make a very good point that the smear of scandal probably won’t be as effective against Biden as it was against Hillary because she was so unlikeable...and that is true, but she also was smart enough to delete all the evidence against her. Supposedly the FBI is in possession of the laptop now...will be an interesting few weeks.
2020, guess anything is possible. But that is why people are, and should be interested in this.
Biden’s been a fine, respectable public servant for a long time. He’s old, maybe too old, but I proudly voted for him. The US needs his decency right now.
One side elected Trump and stirs up conspiracy theory ******** on a daily basis. The other is running a moderate who’s believes in reaching across the aisle.
Tying the two together as if they’re similar is horseshit. Simple as that.
