My reaction to #Applebees offering an annual subscription package for “date nights” is:
Fuuuuuuck Yooooouuu.
So damn sick of subscriptions.

Which, if you have not already watched the animated series for #Avatar: The Last #Airbender, you are truly missing out on what might be the greatest animated series of all time.

I like all of #LeaveTheWorldBehind’s camera angles and shots, it does spice up the tension in the scenes.
I just don’t think the acting reflects how people would be acting?
The mom freaked out about the guy coming and staying at the house with her kids upstairs, but then sleeps in and then sends her husband to the town?
So she’s alone with the kids and the person she flipped out about not being safe?
Haven’t gotten to the end, but seems weird.

Person charged with destroying evidence (among 90+ other criminal charges) accuses person he was found liable for sexually abusing and defaming with destroying evidence.
Golly gee whiz, I wonder who I should believe.

Excellent recap of the DC Circuit oral arguments on Trump’s immunity claim, as always.
Insight into what the judge’s questions may indicate about their eventual opinions.

Donezo, I believe.
All three seemed quite hostile to the immunity claim.
One judge clearly had an appetite for an alternative holding if they rule against Trump on the jurisdictional question of interlocutory appeal. Another judge didn't seem as convinced though, noting it would be an advisory opinion.
Can't wait! Expect the decision to come down quickly.

Trump's Lawyer Concludes.
-
Court: What if there is no impeachment proceeding occurs? It's a judgment call if it's even brought?
Trump's Lawyer: Then the official acts are immune. Period.
-
Court: Let's do a hypothetical. A president is charged with incitement. Impeached and convicted. A prosecution could be brought? Could same or related conduct, even if official, be prosecuted?
Trump's Lawyer: (I think he said yes, but it went quick).
-
Court: Let me try again. (sigh - repeats question). Yes or No.
Trump's Lawyer is really trying super hard not to answer.
-
Court: If Trump had been convicted after his 2nd impeachment, then this prosecution would be entirely proper?
Trump's Lawyer: If same or similar conduct.
Court: Is that a yes?
Trump's Lawyer: Yes-ish.
Court: So it would be proper if convicted?
Trump's Lawyer: Well there are other problems...
Court: Under the Impeachment and Judgment Clause only.
Trump's Lawyer: "A" prosecution could be brought.
-
Trump Lawyer: The best reading is there needs to be impeachment and removal. So if another charge unrelated to the impeachment and removal, immunity applies.
-
Court: If you are requiring for impeachment and removal, and there is a process for one set of crimes, and the president is removed or resigns, and a prosecution for other crimes, is there immunity for those other crimes?
-
Trump Lawyer: There is no frightening future here except the idea that the chief political opponent of Trump is prosecuting him. Cycles of recrimination.
-
Trump Lawyer: A telling indication in the indictment is that all the acts were conducted in office and prior to Trump leaving. So they are clearly likely all official acts.
-
Trump Lawyer back on.
That's a voice I can recognize.

-
SC Lawyer: If there is impeachment-removal condition, then we would have seen some indication in founding documents. There is *no* indication this was ever a plausible reading. All that Hamilton ever said was that a sitting president cannot be prosecuted, and can only be removed by the civil impeachment process, and then prosecuted upon not being sitting president.
-
Court: If we determine there is no impeachment-removal condition precedent to criminal prosecution, does that answer this question? (going back to the Trump Lawyer catch-22 on conceding some avenue for criminal prosecution exists).
-
Court is asking about the effects of various rulings and remands, got kind of weedy.
SC Lawyer essentially argues it would create a mess and tons of additional litigation.
-
Court: Is the motive and intent not part of the criminal charges?
SC Lawyer: Yes, which is why we shouldn't do the Fitzgerald analysis here. That question is addressed in the criminal trial.
-
Court: Should we consider motive / intent in the analysis of official acts?
SC Lawyer: No, since the underlying act is the same.
-
SC Lawyer: What kind of world are we living in if we are living in a world where the president can order seal team six to assassinate his political opponent and then *resigns* before impeachment and removal. Completely immune? This should weigh extraordinarily heavily in the court's decision making.
