Wouldn't be that simple. The Stormy Daniels case was about things that happened before he became president. Sure reimbursing Cohen might have occurred at least in part while Trump was president, but Cohen was never part of the administration. They were disguising the reimbursement as paying Cohen in his capacity as Trump's personal lawyer. So there's pretty much nothing that this ruling does to hamper this case.

That said, I have no doubts that they'd find some way to rule in his favor if an appeal managed to land in front of them. But I think he'd have to go through normal appeals first, he can't just go straight to SCOTUS.

Technically the US is sending lots of weapons to Russia. Ukraine are even being real Bros about it and trying to deliver the munitions first cuz Russia keeps misplacing their stuff. Not their fault Russia is doing a very poor job of accepting their deliveries.

To my knowledge the only sections of wall he's built were funded by Trump's Congress before he left office. Meaning he had little choice but to spend the money on what Congress appropriated it for.

I don't know about you, but I'd rather not live in a world where someone like Trump can just decide he doesn't want to spend portions of the money Congress appropriated. He could just suddenly decide that the federal government isn't going to pay like Medicaid or SNAP.

So what you're saying is that Waffle House needs to be a Super Smash Bros stage?

Ah yes. Direct action. Famously done by checks notes Not doing something. So brave.

Yep, like anything with the goal of changing behaviors it all comes down to what behaviors you're targeting, why you're targeting them, and how you're planning to discourage the targeted behavior and enforce the desired replacement.

It's great if you're trying to change behaviors that cause the autistic person distress and interfere with them living a fulfilling and happy life, but horrible if you're aim is to just enforce blind conformity for the sake of it.

My wife is autistic as are at least 2 of our 3 kids, with the third awaiting his own evaluation. She studied ABA in college because when you tell a woman with autism and severe OCD that actually a lot of human behavior is ordered and explainable if you understand the underlying reasons the behaviors exist she tends to jump on it to explain all of the "stupid social bullshit" she's had to deal with all her life.

More like "Chat, is this real?" imo.

Yeah that seems like a bit of a stretch. That meme read to me like "Oh, you're having problems with the DRM? I don't have that problem," not "Hey guys, here's the GOG installer for X game."

Otherwise, why would the other people in the group chat not like the vibe?

Depends on the cat. Sometimes it genuinely is gifting but sometimes they bring you stuff like this because they think you're a dumb hairless cat that doesn't know how to hunt properly.

We had mice in my old apartment after bringing me like 4 dead ones my oldest cat that I got as a kitten from my cousins barn cats pointed me to a live one it had cornered. Lil fucker sits up next to it, looks down at it and meows repeatedly. Doesn't stop until I kill the mouse myself. After that he never brought me another mouse.

Definitely doesn't help that most of the damn US has some form of Anti-BDS laws. Because everybody knows Anti-Zionism is Anti-Semitism right guys?

There's a scene where the titular Hancock threatens a couple of guys by saying he's going to shove the one guy's head up the other guy's ass. They continued to fuck around and subsequently found out.
