He speaks with a Mid-Atlantic accent, but he's 100% American. Used to be more common than it is today. News anchor hardly. Also, you have to understand his interview style which includes taking the opposing side just to elicit the case from his interviewee. Buckley was an intellectual giant in his day.

I feel like Ann Coulter is an example of a partisan hack. Occasionally if not often correct, but never sincere, and always adhering to a hidden agenda in furtherance of her political alliances. Such a person is the exception not the rule in conservative circles. Such a person in liberal circles is the rule, not the exception, only difference being that liberal hack is rarely if ever correct.

Well, we disagree, but think about this. By this point on reddit, the moderator would have decided which of us was right and banned the other one. At least we have somewhere to debate ideas.

Ditto. When I see a human suffering like this, it makes me sick, not joyful. I understand gallows humor, but this image is just too visceral to be joking about.

If you just happened to be standing next to this guy when it happened, I doubt you would have broken out in laughter and started taking pictures of him to meme the internet. It is sad, and he needs help. Taking pleasure in human suffering like this is not what we should be about.

I feel like one of the important things that separates us from Antifa thugs who take pleasure in human suffering is that we DO NOT derive pleasure from human suffering. Leave that kind of behavior to wild animals. I don't like this meme whatsoever.

I totally disagree with the sentiment in here celebrating and making light of this guy's injury. It's not funny and I am not laughing. The image itself is sickening, and we should not be deriving pleasure from the suffering of others. I hope he makes a speedy and full recovery. Forget this meme.

Her and Epstein are in a lot of pictures with people. It's because those two are /were egomaniacs, not because they are confederates of the people with whom they are pictured. E.g. Trump.

Only a 99.9% chance he does. Prayers.

This whole process still is contrary to federal appellate and DC cir rule 35, which states that en banc petitions may be filed by parties only. This order is more administerial, as there is no ordinary provision for a response to a petition, so the court is inviting a response and setting up a pretty quick deadline. It is going to be amusing to read what gets submitted by Flynn and the government. I'd expect to see a joint submission.

He has to allow those protests because he is powerless to stop them anyway. Government does not fear law abiding citizens.

I'm looking for a second opinion on this from an appellate attorney out there. Did Judge Sullivan violate Federal Rules of Appellate Procedure 35 by petitioning for a rehearing en banc, which is only permitted for PARTIES?

To be fair, his ex wife wants him to increase her monthly credit card limit to $100k, and he is pointing to his business as limiting his ability to do that. Sounds like he didn't have a prenup.

Federal rule of appellate procedure 35 states that PARTIES can petition for rehearing en banc. Is the Judge a party now? If he is, isn't that the problem? I have never heard of a judge filing petitions to an appeals court. What am I missing. Somebody out there who does appeal work help me out.

I don't think this is her. I don't see how anyone this active on reddit is not living in their mom's basement.

You don't have snakes unless you also have stuff snakes eat. I applaud you for acting responsibly, but we're living in a post-responsibility world. It might be more logical to blow your money on trivial things and get a bailout.

Shooting little girls is not illegal enough to stop him, must also enact gun control.

Yeah but don't do it because it's easy.

Fun fact. Upon its completion, Lake Murray was the largest man made lake in the world. Getting a hold of a bigger one is going to be a little tricky.
