It should be noted Trump dispersed aid in 2017 and 2018.

On his first call with Zelensky (which took place before Biden announced he was running) he didn't mention anything about corruption.

It was not until Biden announced he was running and instantly took the lead in the polls that Trump decided that corruption was a problem.

And according to Sondland who was appointed by Trump and donated $1M to Trump's campaign, Trump just wanted them to announce an investigation. He didn't care if they actually carried it out.

And Zelensky was prepared to make the announcement, but the whistleblower filed his report and it caused Trump to release the aid.

Trump would have gotten away with it if not for the whistleblower.

And now Trump (with big assistance from Barr) is trying to do everything he can to retaliate against those who've investigated him, testified against him or reported him so that nobody will try stop him in the future.

Also the Pentagon had certified that Ukraine had met the stablished benchmarks in fighting corruption to receive the aide.

Now Mulvaney is saying there was some "interagency process" held up the funds. He won't explain what that means though.

Apparently there's a prize for winning these "team building games" like word searches and making paper airplanes and shit.

1st place is 8 hours of PTO
2nd is like 4

Let's hope the food is good

Umm just being able to say you won should be enough of a prize......where is your killer competitive streak?

How are you possibly this uninformed on the Ukraine scandal and the bases for impeachment? With very, very minimal inquiry, you'd see he committed impeachable conduct by using extralegal channels to extort a foreign government into opening a sham investigation into his political rival. And, furthermore, how do you feel comfortable making normative judgments about these professors' conduct when you explicitly state you don't know about what Trump did?

Also, being a trial attorney in an area of the constitution (2nd Amendment) that is totally unrelated to impeachment doesn't really put you on the level of professors who teach constitutional law. That's like a podiatrist citing his 50 years in the practice of medicine to contradict other doctors on the issue of cardiology.

I've been really busy.


That is sort of my point. Most of the law professors who signed it don't teach con law. I am not suggesting I know anything about impeachment con law. I don't

Yeah, there's a lot more that can be said, but I wanted to give the very short version. The refusal to cooperate with the investigation is another strong basis for impeachment. Should also be noted that this isn't the first time. Good piece summing up more backstory here:

County network down at work for county based server programs that are web based which is, everything I need for work.

Is this like community college where if the teacher is like 15 minutes late we all get to leave?

It's up there with Dirty Work, Beer League and Freddy Got Fingered

Have you heard the theory that Freddy Got Fingered was Tom Green's ultra meta way of saying F U to the industry?

The entire premise of the movie arguably resembles his own rise in Canada before MTV, and then he gets a sweet deal and blows it on : moving his family's house to Pakistan, and a bag of jewels?

Arguably that's exactly what he did w/ that movie once the studio green lit it.....

world class Performance Art IMO

Yeah but I think it's totally in line with his type of absurdist comedy

So if this was a "meta" project so was his show and music video

Whoa, I didn't realize Joe Dirt was so panned like the rest of those movies. I'm not a fan of Dirty Work or FGF. Never seen Beer League.

If you like Artie Lange in general you'll probably like it. But since you don't like Dirty Work I'm going to say you won't

You bring up a good point.

Office socialization, norm or not the norm?

On one hand, you spend 8 hours a day with these people. Outside of your family (or incredibly close friends), that's probably the greatest share of time you'll spend with anyone.

On the other hand, I go to work to get paid, not make friends. And I make a point not to fuck where I eat.

Hmmmmmm

But the waitress keeps bringing me ass on a platter

Like, I get along with my team members but these team building exercises are names out of a hat so I could be working with motherfucking administrators for this shit that already have 900 hours of PTO saved up and make $120k a year.

And speaking of not fucking where one eats... one of my team members (IE, the only one younger than me) is actually quite attractive and it's annoying as fuck.
