CainFortea posted:Also I really doubt they'd even hear the case if they weren't going to overturn the lower court. There's a huge chance they won't overturn the lower court because ruling that presidental immunity exists in such a broad way is a huge removal of the SC's power. However, they would probably be quite happy if taking the case and then ruling against meant that they could delay the trials until after the election.

OddObserver posted:Normally it's 4. 4 to grant a petition of certiorari, 5 to grant a stay on an emergency application. Trump filed an emergency application, Special Counsel asked it to be considered as a cert. petition (and denied), Supremes granted it as a cert. petition, so 4.

Well, they can always play a remaster of the year-2000 hit “we rule for the Republican but you can’t use this as precedent, peace”. Preserve the formal power of the institution, pick the right winner, everyone is home in time for dinner.

With the potential liquidation of the Trump empire I can only hope this is where Don Jr, Eric, and Ivanka end up in 30 years:![]() The Trump Family honors the Blessed Donald, this Saturday only at the Waco Community Center.

Hey, gotta keep the family name relevant. Some folks host Catholic singles events in Oklahoma, others help bring down the Iron Curtain.

Three for the price of one? Big deal, the Spanish Habsburgs were way more inbred than that.

Reminds me of one of my favourite monarchy facts: Of the two ever emperors of Mexico, one was an insurgent who turned heel against his own people and joined the Spanish Royalists, and the other was a Habsburg. Between the two of them there were only about four years where there was ever an Emperor of Mexico.

He's not even part of the real Habsburg house or the leader of it but some insignificant cadet branch, the actual line and current head of the Habsburgs renounced royal/aristocratic privileges ages ago and is just a rich European dude who drives race cars and I don't think has made any political statements beyond "lol isn't it wild that I had to pay general admission to visit my grandparents house for a high school field trip." Much cooler.

Convert the golf courses into homeless shelters and public parks. Just really drive that dagger in. "This homeless shelter was graciously funded by the Trump Org Liquidation council."

Won't this fascinating work of lobbying art just result in the absolute lowest quality workers applying to that business? Like, why would anyone even think about applying to that place is it massively below any other retail or food service job? Or is this another case of there being enough poor and desperate people fighting over far too few jobs that even the straight up exploiting ones are seen as a lucky break?

Not a lawyer, but what is stopping every fast food chain from buying a bread oven and offering a few loaves of poo poo bread for sale. See also, the inedible sandwiches NY bars would put out 100+ years ago to be considered a restaurant, not a bar.

stealie72 posted:Not a lawyer, but what is stopping every fast food chain from buying a bread oven and offering a few loaves of poo poo bread for sale. quote:(2) “Fast food restaurant” shall not include an establishment that on September 15, 2023, operates a bakery that produces for sale on the establishment’s premises bread, as defined under Part 136 of Subchapter B of Chapter I of Title 21 of the Code of Federal Regulations, so long as it continues to operate such a bakery. This exemption applies only where the establishment produces for sale bread as a stand-alone menu item, and does not apply if the bread is available for sale solely as part of another menu item. I had the same thought, but this makes it sound like it's back-dated to only apply to places that were already baking bread, probably to avoid exactly that loophole.

IIRC, the law also has a timer on it that says businesses can't just switch and would have to either be a brand new business, or have been a bakery/Panera before 2023. Edit: was right, but beaten This kind of poo poo is also why the party can't/won't get rid of Joe when obviously corrupt poo poo like this is just lying there unexamined for one of the other leading contenders.

It’s going to own when case law establishes that heating Sysco’s breadsticks counts as “operates a bakery”.

So quit and make more at the McDonalds. Not a real solution. But if they are the only place paying dogshit I can’t imagine why their best people wouldn’t just move across the street to the BK.

Crab Dad posted:So quit and make more at the McDonalds. Good question would imagine many do but inertia is a powerful force. A guy from high school who was a decent worker wound up working as a 7/11 cashier for a decade despite many better businesses in the area. If he could show up sober on time regularly & pass a drug test to drive a forklift could probably have made twice as much or more plus benefits at Costco, plus would not be alone in a 7/11 at 3am.
