re: Grocery store crabmeat -- You need to know the crabmeat source. A LOT of canned/plastic container crab is not Chesapeake Bay (or NC/Louisiana) blue crab. It's Asian Blue Swimming Crab (Portunus pelagicus). I had a client in New Hyde Park, NY in the seafood industry & learned a lot about canned/plastic container crabmeat. If you ever had a steak at Morton's with crab topping you're eating Asian Blue Swimming Crab. Chesapeake Blue Crab Edit: grammar correction

Good read... https://post.news/@/MuellerSheWrote/2aj1d2bGqyhduSmYaLIxE02f9CM I just finished listening to the DC Circuit Court of Appeals arguments on Trump's immunity claim, and I have some top line takeaways. The most standout moment for me was when the court pointed out that during Trump's impeachment trial, Trump's OWN LAWYERS argued that impeachment and conviction wasn't necessary because a president can be criminally prosecuted after he leaves office. The court thought that may have swayed some Senators to vote to acquit, because the check of criminal prosecution was always there. Trump's lawyer - Sauer - said he disagreed with the court's characterization of that argument. The court said "It's in the congressional record." ...and another

Republican Former Members of Congress: Courts Should Move ‘As Quickly As Possible’ to Resolve Trump Cases An open letter. “EQUAL JUSTICE BEFORE THE LAW” IS A BEDROCK PRINCIPLE of our legal system and our democracy. It is rooted in a fundamental proposition of this country’s founding: That we are a nation of laws, not of men, and accordingly no man is above the law. As former members of Congress, all of us Republicans, we dedicated ourselves to upholding this principle. And we are now deeply concerned that former President Donald Trump’s response to the ongoing criminal prosecutions against him are testing it—requiring the U.S. Supreme Court to act swiftly to meet the moment. In no case is this more true than in Special Counsel Jack Smith’s prosecution of Trump for his attempt to overturn the results of the 2020 election. In this case, the federal courts are confronted with Trump’s gambit to escape accountability altogether: assert an unprecedented claim of absolute presidential immunity from criminal prosecution and use the appellate process to delay the trial until after the November election. https://plus.thebulwark.com/p/republican-former-members-of-congress-trump-case

Good read on the hearing... Summary of Oral Arguments in Trump Immunity Hearing Donald Trump's appeal of District Judge Tanya Chutkan's denial of his assertion of presidential immunity was heard today by the DC Circuit Court of Appeals. Three judges, one Republican and two Democratic appointees of three different presidents, heard the case today - Judges Karen Henderson, Michelle Childs, and Florence Pan. A sitting president generally has immunity from criminal prosecution for any actions taken during the course of his duties as president. Trump asserts that when he was attempting to subvert the 2020 election results, he was performing his duty as president by "exposing election fraud." Special Counsel Jack Smith asserts that the election was over, the courts had all denied dozens of his elections challenges, and that he was engaged in a criminal enterprise for his own personal benefit and not acting on behalf of the American people. Judge Chutkan agreed with the government's position in denying Trump's r https://www.meidastouch.com/news/summary-of-oral-arguments-in-trump-immunity-hearing

'Missing' drunk man spends hours helping a search party look for himself A Turkish man accidentally joined his own search party and looked for himself for hours before realizing they were all looking for him. According to VICE, 50-year-old Beyhan Mutlu, who lives in the northwestern Bursa province, had been out drinking with his friends when he wandered off into a nearby forest and didn't return. Unable to contact him for a few hours, Mutlu's wife and friends decided to alert authorities, who set up a search and rescue mission to find him. Efforts to find the 'missing man' intensified in nearby neighborhoods as the news spread and soon a large group of volunteers had joined the mission. https://post.news/@/scoopupworthy/2ac0FyIhZKpvqCck4gi2zrwchde Vice article: https://www.vice.com/en/article/jg87wg/missing-drunk-man-spent-hours-helping-a-search-party-look-for-himself
