It doesn't even matter. The prosecution has the burden of proving Trump's guilt to a jury beyond a reasonable doubt. Whether or not a workplace relationship exists has no bearing on whether the evidence exists to prove Trump's guilt. I've always seen this as simply an effort to poison the well of public approval, but not legally significant.

Tomorrow.

Glad i worked from home today then. My commute takes me around Lincoln Circle.

Do we really need Gizmodo to confirm this nonsense?

I guess, but Circuit City was still opening stores seven years later. CC basically got outcompeted by Best Buy and was also a victim of the general disappearance of specialty retailers (e.g., Linens and Things, Sharper Image, Radio Shack, Toys R Us, etc.)

I'm trying to think of precedents for US companies that straight up went away due to incompetence (not due to changing market circumstances like Blockbuster or Sears). My list so far is Union Carbide, which still exists as part of Dow Chemical, and a bunch of financial institutions that made bad bets. Enron, but that was basically intentional. It's not a long list.

Instead of fixing it, they’ll probably just “reorganize” and rebrand. By reorganize I mean move all the corporate assets into another entity and leave the liabilities in the empty husk of former Boeing, but pretty much be the same thing run by mostly the same people.

I want to know if it is acceptable in metal culture for you to pregame that show on the patio at the Four Seasons.

JFC the only person speaking sense in the face of this crazy is 65 year old guy who goes, professionally, by the name “Mad Dog.”

I’m strongly considering mixing a batch myself because I’m curious about the taste and not the least bit concerned that I would actually cause any harm whatsoever to myself.

Thanks. Is it safe to say I should be looking for seafood places in SD? They’ve gotta have amazing seafood there, right?

Agree with @dfitzo53and want to know more about the hospitalization. Was it just precautionary or, even worse, just done to advance the bullies legal claims? I’m sort of in the “he shouldn’t have been stealing the other kid’s drink every day” camp unless he was really injured, and I doubt he was really injured.

Can anyone recommend a highish-end restaurant in downtown San Diego. They have a Del Frisco's and an Eddie V's, but trying to find a non-chain. Thanks.

A six day bender comes to an end. I hit every time zone in the continental US, have a pocket full of bar tabs. Conference season is brutal, and just getting started.

Can we please stick to the topic of Trump threatening to gut the safety net for like a day before moving on to his next dumbass ****. Just a day.

Danny DeVito is the ****ing best. I really like Ahhhhnold, but DD is a legend.

😂

The GOP sucks with women. A lot of moms can’t see themselves in Katie Britt’s kitchen https://www.washingtonpost.com/style/power/2024/03/08/katie-britt-gop-response-to-biden-speech-suburban-women/ I guess ill note the reaction of my wife, who is not yet 40, has a career and yet somehow manages to be the best mom possible, like it actually astounds me constantly how good she is at momming, her reaction was just “what the **** was that?”

No puns allowed!

Specifically booked my flight home knowing Id have to rush, but wanted to get home before my kids went to bed. Flight as been delayed 2.5 hours, first because the plane was delayed and now the crew is evidently delayed.

Just say incels.

Let it begin. https://www.politico.com/news/2024/03/08/biden-campaign-ad-onslaught-00146028 Biden campaign launches $30M ad onslaught Joe Biden’s campaign — long criticized for its sleepy wind-up — is starting to let it rip. Coming off of the president’s forceful State of the Union, senior Biden campaign officials on Friday rolled out a $30 million ad buy and new campaign travel stops. The announcements were designed to drive home the aggressive posture Biden is adopting as the general election contest with former President Donald Trump begins. In what it has dubbed a “Month of Action,” the Biden campaign announced that the president, Vice President Kamala Harris, first lady Jill Biden and second gentlemen Doug Emhoff will stump in every battleground state in March, kicking off with Biden’s events in Pennsylvania and Georgia on Friday and Saturday. Biden will also appear in New Hampshire, Wisconsin and Michigan next week, while Harris will head to Arizona and Nevada. The campaign is also hiring 350 new staffers and opening 100 campaign offices across swing states over the next month. Notably, it will start a six-week, $30 million TV and digital ad buy on Saturday, aimed at drawing out the “full-throated” contrast between Biden’s vision for “where the country can go” against “Donald Trump’s dark, dangerous and chaotic vision for the country,” said campaign communications director Michael Tyler on a call with reporters Friday morning. The ads will target battleground states, as well as Black and Latino-focused outlets and channels. It’s part of a broader strategy to bury Trump in non-stop spending, made possible through Biden’s significant fundraising advantage.

JFC, can't this guy do anything without corruption?

And another very strong jobs report. https://www.washingtonpost.com/business/2024/03/08/jobs-february-unemployment-election-labor-market/ U.S. economy adds 275,000 jobs, in latest sign of robust labor market
