• He’s been in the office three full years as of today.
• Democrats have so far declined to impeach him for well documented obstruction of investigations related to 2016.
• They have impeached him for a matter that principally relates to the fairness of 2020.
When can newspapers say to their readers that this argument—now the leading argument of the President’s answer to the articles—objectively has very little merit?
Ugh as of Monday*

If I’m reading this right, and I like to think I am, they’re going to have 24h of argument from each side, 16h of questioning, THEN a debate about witnesses, and ONLY AFTER THAT are they going to decide what documentary evidence is admissible in the trial.
The typical procedures used in US courts seek to resolve broad, categorical questions about what is admissible evidence before the trial begins, because that obviously shapes what arguments can be properly made.
McConnell’s proposal inverts the typical procedures with some bizarre effects. First and foremost, the advocates would be arguing and being questioned by the senate in the absence of any official record. Unclear what they’d say or be allowed to cite and refer to.

This is all very hush hush. Everybody got that? publicpool.kinja.com/subject-backgr…
Want to add that I am grateful to the WH Press Office for leading the way on year round daylight savings.
In what will be a pathbreaking moment for media sources everywhere, an anonymous source close to the president’s legal team will actually give the first opening statement in the Senate impeachment trial, according to a senior administration official.

I have gone way down a rabbit hole here, but I think Prince Harry just got a last name? heraldica.org/topics/britain…
UK courtiers in the 1960s were extremely thorough.
Adding some background, "Her Majesty's declaration of 8th February" in 1960 was, it seems, kind of a consolation prize to the Mountbattens modifying the Queen's decision years earlier, in April 1952, that she and her descendants would be Windsors--which The Crown has made famous.

While in college, Milk penned a weekly student newspaper column where he questioned issues of diversity and lessons learned from the recently ended World War.

🔥This week's hot topic: President Trump may be able to appoint a pro-life Supreme Court judge soon after Anthony Kennedy's sudden "retirement."

📣This was discussed on Real Time with Bill Maher.

[Naive aside: I always thought judges were supposed to be impartial.]
💥That’s the thing. A man and a woman have sex.

⚡️The woman gets an unwanted pregnancy.

😔Other than possibly chipping in for the cost of the abortion, the man’s life is rarely complicated again.

💭Many never even find out.
❓So why do women have abortions?

‼️No one wants to have an abortion.

💥And no, they shouldn’t be punished. If so, the man should be equally punished since the man is 50% responsible—or more than 50% in many cases. Here are some NIH study results.

Alan Turing (1912-1954)

An eccentric British mathematician, widely considered to be the father of computer science and artificial intelligence.

Turing broke the Nazi Enigma code, playing a crucial role in the allied victory in WWII.

#LGBTVoices
Turing spent much of his early life separated from his parents, as his father worked in the British administration of India.

At 13, he was sent to a large boarding school, with a rigid syllabus, so Turing studied advanced modern scientific ideas, such as relativity, on his own.
In his seminal 1936 paper, "On Computable Numbers," Turing proved that the theory of a universal algorithmic method of determining truth in math cannot exist.

He also introduced the notion of a universal computing machine, the "Turing Machine” — the basis of the modern computer.
