The Trump Defense?

So does his ongoing defiance of the terms of his bail mean that ordinary citizen defendants can use this precedent in their own defense when they engage in similar conduct?

Chunk of a Boeing 737 fell off United flight, this one from San Francisco to southern Oregon

Source: The Oregonian

An exterior panel of a Boeing 737 carrying passengers on a United Airlines flight from San Francisco to Medford appears to have torn off mid-flight Friday, marking the latest in a string of recent high-profile mishaps for Boeing planes.

A photo of the plane shows a hole in the fuselage, exposing what appears to be mechanical components of the aircraft. United said the missing panel was located where one of the wings meets the aircraft’s body, near the landing gear. United did not answer questions about what caused the panel to fall to the ground.

The plane is a Boeing 737-800, according to United. It is not a Boeing 737 Max 9, which is the model of Boeing plane that made an emergency landing in Portland after a door plug flew off of the Alaska Airlines aircraft about six minutes into a Jan. 5 flight.

Friday’s Flight 433 landed shortly before noon as scheduled at Rogue Valley International Medford Airport, said airport Director Amber Judd. United said none of the 139 passengers and six crew members were injured.

All about Messi!

I cannot recommend Anatomy of a Fall highly enough. Haven’t yet seen Poor Things but it’s hard to imagine a more powerful and compelling performance as that of Sandra Hüller in this extraordinary film. But then there’s Messi as Snoop! Absolument formidable!

Jimmy Kimmel brought out a very special guest with him as he hosted the 2024 Oscars: ‘Anatomy of a Fall’ dog Messi

The 2024 Oscars may have been a star-studded night, but it was a 7-year-old border collie that stole the show.

Messi joined host Jimmy Kimmel in the audience where he cheered on the winners of Hollywood’s biggest night. The pup first rose to fame after his scene-stealing role in Anatomy of a Fall, in which he portrays a guide dog that nearly overdoses on pain medication.

“There were a few interviews in France, but what we’ve been experiencing here in America — with the attention to this dog and his acting — it’s beyond anything we anticipated,” Messi’s trainer and owner Laura Martin Contini told The Hollywood Reporter in February 2024. “It’s probably the maximum that you can accomplish in this field.”

What happens if tsf is declared the winner of the election

and then is convicted of election interference before the inauguration? Is he then ineligible to assume office? If so, who would become president? His opponent? His running mate? Or the speaker of the house? None of these?

Navalny

Shared for the eloquent pictures. The source is the one of the best and most reliable free Russian sites, its staff in exile abroad, lest they be imprisoned for telling the truth.

The site reports that tens of thousands of fearless people turned out, despite the heavy police presence and interference. The article's very first phrase in bold is the Church Slavonic expression that translates as Lord, have mercy [on us] (Kyrie, eleison), a central part of the Orthodox Christian liturgy.
