re: SCOTUS agrees to decide if mail-in ballots can arrive after Election Day
Posted by laxtonto on 11/10/25 at 9:28 am to Green Chili Tiger
Funny enough this could have much larger implications than just post Election Day ballots.
If they rule that election “day” is the key here then it opens up the entire potential concerns about early and mail in voting as well in the future.
If they treat Election Day as a hard cutoff, then is it also then a hard start date? If they treat mail in ballots as a post marked issue, then what is the rule about when voting can or can’t occur?
The fact that this got to the SC, regardless of the outcome, will have far reaching implications and I am somewhat shocked they agreed to take this up.

re: Shutdown-Linked Layoffs Will Be Further Paused by Judge
Posted by laxtonto on 10/28/25 at 4:04 pm to Placekicker
This is a purposeful delay tactic hoping for the shutdown to end before this is appealed and overturned.
If anyone hasn't noticed, the judge "signaled" they will grant an injunction at the end of the TRO, not grant the injunction immediately. The SC guideline allows for appealing once the TRO has been given, but not before.
The judge knows this and is purposely dragging out putting the injunction on the record until the TRO runs out, knowing that the administration will instantly appeal. Every day the judge delays is one more day the administration cannot RIF people due to the shutdown. If the shutdown ends, the proceedings are moot, but also the power to RIF due to the shutdown is also no longer available.

What makes this such a mess is that there isn’t a ton of real options out there and someone of going to end up over paying for a retread or a completely unproven coordinator and we get to hear all offseason fans trying to justify it.
That being said, UF fans, could I interest you in a low cost well rested Jimbo Fisher?

So if ANTIFA doesn't exist, why be upset that they are designating it an international and domestic terror organization?
re: This Texas game absolutely terrifies me...

This is a weird game to try and figure out, beyond the trope of just 2 bad offense.
This is the 1st game of the season that Texas has Wisner (who was the SEC's returning leading rusher at the beginning of the season) available and their #2 RB back is supposed to be back as well. Also, supposedly their lone WR transfer Mosley is supposedly finally healthy and should get some reps. I wonder if he has stone hands like some of their other WRs....
UF's DL is a MASH unit and the secondary isn't that much healthier. With Gates and Johnson out and a banged up DL, does Arch have time to miss his WRs?
I think the Texas D is going to be too much for the FL and it will be a weird 17-6 type of game.

re: AOC and her team are positioning her to run for president or the U.S. Senate

Don’t forget that someone has to be put in the slot to replace Nadler.
I am guessing that this is setting up the new wing of the democratic party vs the establishment set.
AOC vs Clinton for the NY senate seat will be a bloodbath.

This is more about forcing Hamas out of Qatar than killing Hamas as an entity.
Hamas will exist as long as the wealthy backers that want the Israeli state destroyed have safe haven in the Arab world. If they no longer can live in luxury and relative safety in Qatar and have to instead live a life of constant fear in hiding, the will of what drives Hamas will die.
The leadership of Hamas has had access to untold wealth and safety in Dhoa and as such dragging out whatever negotiations were always in their favor. Ever bomb dropped on Gaza, every death, just helped fuel their coffers and lifestyle. Why give that up, when the alternative is to make a deal and be expected to govern instead? If you can continue in your lavish lifestyle in relative safety, what motivation exists for change?
Now that idea is changed. Qatar is no longer safe and purposefully delaying to make a deal no longer has the value it did.

What makes this worse then is because they have cooked the books so long, we may have been in a technical recession the last 6 months of the Biden administration and yet it was purposely hid to help the Dems election chances.
The level of manipulation of data and narratives the last 18 months of the Biden era outstrips anything we have seen in modern politics this millennia.

I think ND will run all over ND, but beyond that I got no idea.
ND D seems less impressive than expected, but also maybe I’m underselling Miami.

To go a step further, YT is using a cookie based algorithm to match their ad content to what either your login or user has listed as “safe”.

re: Trump admin fines illegal migrants $6.1B for refusing deportation orders
Posted by laxtonto on 8/28/25 at 9:51 am to idlewatcher
I think people are missing the point in that this large fines, even if not collected, are listed as outstanding and in essence then make it impossible in the future to ever return legally…
If the southern border remains air tight, then the only recourse is the actually go through the real process. Unfortunately, if you have an outstanding fine or penalty you would not be eligible to start the process….
It is just another carrot and stick concept to help once again incentivize self deportation. Leave on your own and we drop the fines, get caught and deported and those fines stay in place and so you can never return (either to try to get a work permit or tourist visa).

In-service is the time period of mandatory training for teachers about policy and student instruction standards before kids show up to class…
So these people are already upset and kids aren’t even in the building yet. Wait till a few try to go around the system and the school is forced to fire them.

All I will say is if I was anyone involved in the Seth Rich situation (either on the DNC side or on the “investigation” side) I would have my head on a swivel.
Figuring out exactly all the details is probably never going to happen, but it is obvious that the official narrative doesn’t add up and we are slowly inching towards people asking questions again in an official capacity.
With the emails coming out that cloudstrike was going to provide cover and push the narrative towards Trump and Russia, people will start questioning the DNC email narrative that much more. If you were involved in any way, on any side, stay away from windows in tall buildings. Avoid going places alone. Go a head and update your will, just in case….

Almost like they dropped charges after cooperation…. Sounds very similar to many other instances we have seen from the DOJ in the past.

Quick back of the napkin of the 600-700 billion to the US is about $100B annually, plus everything on top.
It is possible when this is all done that we will be looking at 250-500B initially, which could be used directly for the debt….

I guess Durbin is the first “big named” senator that the democrats could find that wasn’t included in the keyword lexicon that the agents had to flag. That way he could claim innocence of the concept and could be used as a mouth piece…
Can’t wait till they release the “Trump” file on the Epstein material in which it has highlights of “Trump send letter banning Epstein from all properties”, “Trump threatens legal action on Epstein due to employee complaints”, and other similar items.
It should be obvious that this is another half cocked hit piece when they don’t have any of the “flagged” items only the idea that the FBI had a “Trump” keyword to flag files…
Once again, if there was anything that ties Trump to Epstein in a negative light, it would have came out in the previous 4 years….
