I think a settlement offer before charges are filed, and before she gets a good understanding of what penalties she can actually make stick was probably something trumps lawyers threw at the wall to see if it stuck. I can't imagine a settlement offer being serious at that stage, or substantial. I think a settlement gets real when the uncertainty of trial outcomes makes everyone more reasonable. If there's a chance she gets nothing....she'd probably settle. She wouldn't settle before she gets an idea of what that likelihood is, and it wouldn't surprise me if that "offer" was laughable in contrast to the size of the penalties sought.
But as president, he can think about changing the guidelines proscribed within federal law, which means they’re changed, he changed them. Checkmate.
I just saw this and laughed... "Omg he's actually invoking the Secret Telepathic Unilateral Preemptive Irreversible Declassification (S.T.U.P.I.D.) defense," quipped Asha Rangappa, a former FBI agent and attorney.
I hope someone will use their magic to make Trump go away. When this stuff continues to come out, do you think it makes Hillary feel like, "good God, how awful am I that he was elected over me?"
I did a bad thing last week... was interviewing someone for a job, and on his resume he used part of the intro spiel to Quantum Leap, slightly changed to reflect him moving from job to job. "And so Doctor Beckett finds himself leaping from life to life, striving to put right what once went wrong, and hoping each time that his next leap will be the leap home…" I recognized the quote, and then immediately asked, "you're not retarded, are you?" We both laughed, getting it. Well, the HR intern that was in the call just went wide-eyed and had that "oh my god that was wrong and what am I supposed to do now" look on her face. We had to explain the joke, assure her that we both found it hilarious and were not deeply triggered. She eventually calmed down, but I don't think she ever got it, and part of me is still waiting for a call from a VP of HR.
I went to college with Scott Bakula’s daughter. It was weird seeing an attractive woman with Scott Bakula’s face.
Imagine how wigged out you'd be if you were a Quantum Leap fan and fucking his daughter... "did he leap into her? Am I really fucking Scott?"
She was one of those girls that immediately started dating a guy, and her roommate had to hang out with us because she be fuckin’. There were a lot of jokes…did she moan out “oh boy,” was her vibrator called Ziggy… Scott Bakula was at graduation, but I didn’t get a chance to meet him. He was trying not to be bothered, so I didn’t bother him.
First episode is out and I've downloaded it but I just haven't watched it yet. I'm not optimistic, because usually these kinds of remakes are absolute shit. At some point I'll run out of shit to watch and then go to it to see how it is.
It's not technically a remake, it's a continuation of the story. Probably so they work in Bakula at some point and fuck with Dean Stockwell's corpse. I don't know how well the new one is going to work. The original centered around the dramatic social changes from the 50s to the 90s. There wasn't really the same level of shift from 1990 to now.
I always said the best thing would be to put Bakula in the position of Al since it ended with him letting Al go home while he remained stuck leaping. The hard part is finding an actor who could be as earnest and transforming as Bakula was. Sam is one of the great TV characters of all time. And like you said, the social commentary would suck. They would no doubt try to shoehorn in woke bullshit like Marvel and Star Wars does.
“I’m just CHILLIN’ IN CEDAR RAPIDS!!!” is ten million times worse and more damaging than any Howard Dean yell. Jesus Christ, the fact that didn’t instantly sink her entire campaign says everything you need to know about stupid her supporters were/are. She is a charmless sociopathic carpetbagger. She is not cool. What the fuck were they even thinking?
Gavin Newsom creeps me out, just visually. He looks like at any moment he’ll shout “REMEMBER ME, EDDIE? THE TOON THAT KILLED YOUR BROTHER?!?”
And, he was married to Caitlin Jenner. Who is now with Trump Jr. Wow, there’s a title to make daddy proud: The Worst Groupie Ever. She really took the heat off Karrine “Superhead” Stevens.
