If you fail to plan, you should plan to fail.

One of the better signs in the crowd at the Kennedy Center.

Why are some TD posters so obsessed with the number of posts anyone makes? What is this.... my 35th or 36th post in a year.? The name-calling and worrying about someone's (or their own) number of posts is just juvenile.

Downvote away if it helps your self-esteem.

The kid I feel sorry for is the one who is told he has made the 105-player cut and is on the team, but is then told "Sorry, Pyburn is going to take your spot on the roster."

Oberlin and Lockland. Not really an LSU Recruiting topic, but wondering if low numbers are affecting any Louisiana high schools for 2026 football season.

Cartoon in this week's "The New Yorker" shows mound visit by catcher who says "Throw him a fast ball so he hits a walk-off home run, they win the World Series, and we don't have to go to the White House".

The local paper had a photo of one today, but haven't seen any around.. Wonder who's paying for them.

At least it's not diesel.

I believe this is why he behaves the way he does.

ChatGPT - Trump is the first president in over a century not to have a dog while in office.

And yes, I know how many times I've posted here. I'm happy for you 10,000+ posters that you have an opportunity for another post . With your downvote, of course.

Question for ChatGPT: In cases filed since January 2025 against persons Donald Trump considers his personal "enemies", how many have resulted in a guilty verdict?

The available reporting does not identify any clear tally of successful guilty verdicts from prosecutions widely characterized as targeting Donald Trump’s “enemies” since January 2025—but what evidence does exist points to essentially none (or at most a single ambiguous case).

What the data shows
Multiple analyses and reporting describe numerous investigations, indictments, and legal actions, but emphasize that these cases have largely failed, been dismissed, or not produced charges at all. Courts have thrown out cases, subpoenas have been quashed, and some prosecutions collapsed due to lack of evidence or procedural issues. Even politically supportive reporting notes that many efforts to prosecute perceived opponents “resulted in no charges” or stalled.

Possible exception
One widely reported conviction is that of a Wisconsin judge (Hannah Dugan) for obstruction in an immigration-related case. However, whether this counts as targeting a personal “enemy” of Trump is debatable—it was framed as an immigration enforcement case rather than part of a defined “enemies list.”

Bottom line
Confirmed guilty verdicts tied clearly to prosecutions of Trump’s personal “enemies”: 0. If including borderline or disputed cases: possibly 1.

Key takeaway
Despite a large number of investigations and public threats (hundreds of targets have been identified), the campaign has produced little to no courtroom success, with far more dismissals and failed cases than convictions.

"Justice Department lawyers under Ms. Bondi often behaved in shockingly unethical ways. For decades, Federal judges have looked at assistant U.S. attorneys and other Justice Department lawyers as something more than mere combatants. For good reason, judges assumed that Federal lawyers told them the truth about the facts and the law of their cases. But based on the frequently appalling conduct — for instance, lying, gaslighting, hiding facts and evidence — of Justice Department lawyers in the Bondi era, many judges are no longer giving government lawyers the benefit of the doubt. Nor should they."
