I think you are absolutely right about that. From what I can tell, people have been watching CNN, and how they have been blaming absolutely everything wrong in Afghanistan exclusively on Biden, and their audience isn’t too keen on their portrayal as if he was the same as T rumpp. People in this country see it plain as day that Biden is so much different, and endlessly better than T rumpp ever was as POTUS, and they see this negative portrayal as phony. Most people also recognize and understand that Biden just finished what t rumpp started, and they’re just fine with that. This negative coverage of Biden won’t last. Americans are glad to be out of Afghanistan. Biden got us there with minimal casualty.

From today’s NYT “ For one thing, Mr. Marshall is not a licensed lawyer, prosecutors said, and has taken actions on behalf of clients “that he is not permitted” to take. Moreover, they went on, it remains unclear if and when Mr. Marshall will be able to get his law license given that he is under indictment in two criminal cases accusing him of corruption, theft and fraud in Pennsylvania.”

Okay, reading about how Lin Wood managed to screw this guy (not to mention the client) out of the Rittenhouse grift, I’m revising the odds of the Cayman Islands scenario downward.
Hiding out poor instead of hiding out rich - the classic is Tijuana, maybe check the brothels there?

Oh, FFS. CNN coverage after Biden’s speech:
“If you listen to this from an Afghanistan point of view, it wasn’t comforting”
Go fuck yourselves, CNTalibaN.

Hey, after the Michigan judge sanctioned everybody involved in the Michigan case for LYING in their court documents I appreciate him coming back to say he does not know what the truth is in this case.
Did HE rob a client too?

For future reference, are there vegetarian gummies or do they all have gelatin? I made my oncologist cry thirty years ago when I told him I’d smoked one cigarette, and for better or worse I’ve kept my promise not to ever smoke again.

Regarding psilocybin micro-dosing for cancer patients: Netflix right now has a good documentary that goes into this, “Fantastic Fungi”. Absolutely beautiful photography, of course.

Thank you! I’ll look into that. My sis-in-law would do good to give that a try. She’s still got plenty of life left to live, but it is downright impossible to get any attempt from her to even try to enjoy living for a moment or two along the way.

For me chocolate is its own food group. And I am not including Hershey’s. That’s the budweiser of chocolate. You can’t make a good mole` sauce with out ground nibs (no sugar please). The seed in a chocolate pod is a serious stimulant (it’s called thebane and is chemically related to caffeine). Chew two seeds (they look like almonds) and you will be wide awake.

Good to see you online, and will send best thoughts in appropriately nondenominational form out that-a-way on Thu.

Not an attorney. Maybe awaiting bar results, maybe a paralegal, but not an attorney. The description associate suggests the first, or that the one who used it was careless with words.

Yep, we know that now. But when that article was written 5 days ago, things were a bit…blurry…shall we say?

Just a correction to the story.
" In addition to the Jan. 6 defendants, Pierce represented Kyle Rittenhouse, the then-17-year-old who was charged with killing two people during the George Floyd Protests, before the teen’s family fired the attorney, claiming he had stolen from Rittenhouse’s legal defense fund."
Rittenhouse is charged with murdering two people in protests over the shooting by police of Jacob Blake. Blake was not killed by police but I believe will never walk again.

Doctors succeeded in making me give up both caffeine and alcohol while my brain heals, but the third thing they wanted was chocolate, and I’m like, kill me now.
I do just make sure it is very small amounts and very high quality, because if I have another stroke, it’s not going to be over a fucking Hershey bar.

Michael Pollan has a book out on psychedelics. I haven’t read it but it should be a good supplement to the Netflix documentary.

They have also shown that cacao reduces uric acid levels. I have occasional gout attacks so I put a heaping tablespoon of powdered cacao and a dash of cinnamon into my second cup of coffee in the morning, for medicinal purposes only, of course

Generally it is our hippie friends that are the innovators on the varied ways to consume… as such of course Vegan is an option… haha. At least in the mature legal markets that have stabilized the supply chain. Massachusetts has a lot of solid operations. I hear Washington is pretty mature as well…
There are also varied drink mixes (think koolaid). Most recreational stores are also medical, so they can set you up with the best delivery method
