If they're looking for new blood, we hear that a certain U.S. president might soon be available.

This is long, deep, utterly fascinating, and great ammunition to use against those who squawk otherwise. I couldn't break away from reading it. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ The Supreme Court Fires a Warning Shot at Jack Smith (A Deep Dive Into the Immunity Decision) On Monday, we broke the news that the Supreme Court had ruled on the once and future president Donald Trump's immunity claims in Trump v. U.S. As we said at the time, the news was breaking and we hadn't had time to read it. So … now we have read the decision and we wanted to get deep into it. Yep, it's time for a patented Aaron Walker Deep DiveTM! (It's not actually patented or trademarked.) As usual, we will analyze the majority opinion in terms of the law, but as we go through it, we will note something else. There is a distinct thread running through the opinion that this author thinks is aimed at Jack Smith, the special prosecutor that is going after Trump in two of his pending criminal cases. And as we analyze the opinion overall, we will highlight that to you. And naturally, we will also be posting and responding to some of the reactions to the decision.

Sorry to hear this. Sometimes, companies close with no notice at all. You're entitled to full pay for all hours that you work. Sometimes, larger companies will extend the opportunity to keep your health insurance (COBRA). You can ask your managers for their contact information to serve as references when you job-hunt. If you haven't found a new job by the time the company closes, file for Unemployment. This should give you a little income if you have trouble finding a new job. Others here will have additional advice for you. Good luck! *** Thread is moved from Off Topic to the "Working & Traveling" forum. ***

Watch Stephie softball Bidementia to save him in this edited interview. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ About the Stephanopoulos Interview with Biden...Changes Have Been Made [...] Now the whole interview will air in an ABC primetime special on Friday. The situation is so serious around Biden and whether or not he should remain in the race that the original plan to release the interview in dribs and drabs through the week and weekend to lead up to the Sunday show is no longer the plan.

Gracias, o Lobsterback whose days are numbered unless he exits the Colonies forthwith, verily, wot.

Our VJ members are wonderful and are a wealth of information. This forum is newer than some of the others. Never -- and it's a pleasure to see someone from approximately my era, again.

And even worse than "really," after divorce.

Roger Simon agrees with the New Yorker writer about the 25th, and makes a lot more good points besides. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ The United States cannot afford a 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. president [...] Has the uniparty changed its song about Joe Biden? There are signs that it has. In the immediate aftermath of Biden's disastrous debate with Donald Trump last week, the narrative broke in two, or at least seemed to break in two. On one side there was horror and — word of the moment — "panic" among the Dems. The New York Times led the way in calling for Biden — for the good of the country — to resign. At the same time, there was considerable push back, encapsulated comically in the observation that dementia Joe "had a cold," hence his gibbering incoherence.

This is what they may have to resort to, if Kommie et al. buy into it. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ This Is What the Twenty-fifth Amendment Was Designed For In a live broadcast of "The Daily Show" immediately after the Presidential debate last week, the comedian Jon Stewart joked about President Joe Biden's open-mouthed stare: "A lot of people have resting Twenty-fifth Amendment face." A once obscure constitutional provision, the Twenty-fifth Amendment became familiar to the public during Donald Trump's Presidency, when there was constant chatter about his mental unfitness and incapacity. (I wrote about it for The New Yorker on five separate occasions.)

Trivia: the feminine form of "czar" is "czarina." Kommie Harris is one of the few (AOC another) who has fewer working brain cells than Bidementia has.

The UK has gone to the dogs. Reminds me of Ecuador's largest population groups, in descending order: 1. Roosters 2. Dogs 3. People

Closest they had was Tulsi Gabbard, and she removed herself/ It's glorious. I read an article the other day in which Rob Reiner and Jane Fonda were in tears within 3 minutes at a debate watch-party. Couldn't happen to two better Commies.

It's July Many'th*, si and see and oj tak! How dare our Polish Commie-babe reappear merely to broadcast this most blatant of P-Math errors, oj huh? Bad reappearing blatant Asia! Bad, BAD reappearing REAPPEARING blatant BLATANT Asia! *Columbus Day in Poland, oj tak

The above answer is correct for USCIS's purposes. More crucial is the consulate at which the beneficiary will be interviewing. "Tough" consulates prefer as much in-person "face time" as you can show evidence of. Manila is not a tough consulate; they hand out K-1 visas like candy in comparison with others. Visit for the sake of your relationship.

Pathetic Excuse For Backyard Fireworks Display Doesn't End With Everyone Cowering Behind The Shed DAYTON, OH — A lousy, embarrassing excuse for a July 4th backyard fireworks display ended this evening without a single family member hiding for safety behind the shed. "I'm not sure what went wrong," said Bruce Hayes, father and chief pyrotechnician of the Hayes family. "Most years, our fireworks display ends in all-out pandemonium and a hasty retreat behind the shed. Never once did I feel this year that my life was in legitimate danger. I made some poor decisions and frankly don't even deserve to call myself American."

'We Can't Let A Convicted Felon In The White House,' Biden Tells Hunter WASHINGTON, D.C. — As the race for the presidency intensified, an administration insider disclosed that President Biden warned his son, Hunter, that allowing a convicted felon to be in the White House would be a disgrace and disastrous for the country. The president's son, currently awaiting sentencing for a felony conviction, reportedly vowed to help his father in whatever way he could to prevent a convicted felon from entering through the doors of the executive mansion.

Report: Kamala About To Unburden Herself From What Has Been WASHINGTON D.C. — Reports from high-level sources in Washington indicate Vice President Kamala Harris is just about to unburden herself from what has been.

White House Installs Touch And Learn Activity Desk In Oval Office So Biden Can Feel Like He's Working While Jill Is Running The Country WASHINGTON, D.C. — In order to let President Biden feel like he is still working, the White House has installed a "Touch-And-Learn" activity desk for Biden to play at while First Lady Jill Biden runs the country. "He just loves feeling like he's still a part of things," said Chief of Staff Ron Klain, watching the President spin a wheel. "Ope! Ring-ring, Mr. President!

Eviction from Congress would seem to be a must, and deportation not unreasonable. Comments? ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Former Prime Minister Says Rep. Ilhan Omar's Interests Are the Interests of Somalia This clip was apparently posted over the weekend, but we're just seeing it now. Apparently, the former prime minister of Somalia, Hassan Ali Khaire, attended a campaign event with Rep. Ilhan Omar, and rallied the crowd by assuring them that Omar's interests aren't those of Minnesota of the United States, but of Somalia. It's not like it was a big secret or anything, but it's kind of shocking to hear it said out loud at a rally.

Lesbian Duo Baffled as to Why Muslim Gang Would Pummel Them. Who Wants to Break the News? A gang of "Middle Eastern men" beat the potato salad out of a lesbian couple in Halifax, Nova Scotia, leaving the two zamis to wonder why the men would treat the ladies so viciously, especially considering it was during Pride month. Emma MacLean, one of the women assaulted, posted to Facebook that there were between seven and ten men, all between the ages of 18 and 25 and "believed to be from Syria."

Radical Islamic Violence Poisons European Countries [...] The squatters had reportedly been causing problems in the area for a month, and yet nothing seems to have been done about them, since they were still free and able to murder David. Nor were these the only Moroccan squatters in the area; two locals said Moroccans were moving into homes and causing havoc.

There are at least 3 swing states that I read about. Will try to find which. Regardless, the Dems will stop at nothing to break those laws in order to retain power.
