No vieo that I could find, the earlier event where he addressed the Debt Ceiling crisis is available. Text https://www.whitehouse.gov/briefing-room/speeches-remarks/2023/05/10/remarks-by-president-biden-at-a-democratic-national-committee-reception-5/ Look, one of the things that I think is — I was raised in a family that I don’t think the fundamental principles that — that we were taught are any different if my mom had been — had been “Bidenopoulos” instead of Finnegan. She taught us that — and I mean this sincerely; I mean it from the bottom of my heart, and Father knows this. My mother used to say, “Joey, nobody is better than you, and everyone is your equal.” No — and if anything went down, “Just get up, Joe. Just get up. Never bend. Never bow.” Real simple propositions with my mom. And she was a sweet woman, and butter wouldn’t melt in her mouth except if you crossed one of her kids. But all kidding aside, the basic fundamental values that I find is that most ethnic communities are similar. And one of the things — I got to go back — not what I had planned on talking about, but I got to go back to Ireland for the — for the — the Irish Accords, to make sure they weren’t — the Brits didn’t screw around and Northern Ireland didn’t walk away from their commitments. Thousands of words, most of them extemporaneous, and yes, he could have finished the message without saying the "screwing around" bit. And yes, there will be some mending today, but honestly, let's not get too hysterical, or calling for Joe to get "care".

If the only outcome of a confrontation has to result in death then I fear where we might be headed. Given the choice to a.) walk away, or b.) physical action resulting in the death of a human being, I'll go with a.) It's also disappointing to read about some other riders on the car, two of whom (visible in the photo above I think) were said to have held Mr. Neely's arms during the ~ two minute choke out, and others said or did nothing. I'm sure (my opinion, I haven't ridden the NYC subway in 25 years) there are dozens of disagreements and confrontations on the subway daily. I guess I'm thankful all do not result in death.

I was most definitely wrong in my prediction that Trump would NOT appeal this verdict. Still not seeing the end-game for him on this, especially given his statements during the CNN Town Hall. Why keep this matter alive for people to continue to be reviled by? And has he ever won an appeal? (Given the number of cases, all civil so far, I guess he must have won at least one? Donald Trump filed a notice Tuesday which states his attention to appeal his loss this week in a New York City civil trial—which found him liable for sexual battery and defaming the writer E. Jean Carroll. The notice, filed in the 2nd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals, serves as a precursor for an incoming formal appeal. https://storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.uscourts.nysd.590045/gov.uscourts.nysd.590045.179.0.pdf

Which is hard to do in a wheelchair, so maybe give him a participation medal.

Will be used for justification of the 300 baht tourist fee. Search and rescue fee.

Are there pictures of these walls on Hunter Biden's laptop?

Yeah they're out shopping for a ten foot pole at Home Depot.

You mean batting average? Season? Career? Santos is Rookie of the Year, for sure. An up and comer, even accounting for a brief stint in the prison rookie league. Trump is a lock for the Hall of Shame, based on lifetime stats.

The seasonal rush at the border is as predictable as the run on wedding dresses at Filene's Basement. So disappointing that there wasn't a plan to deal with this. I mean there's a lot of stuff to deal with but seriously? At least have a plan, articlutate it in advance, and execute it (not the immigrants). Right up there with flailing on Sen. Feinstein, which is a monumental failure. Friggin' Dems, we love shooting ourselves in the foot, over and over and over. Eventually we'll figure out how to shoot upwards through our foot into our heads. Give us time.

If you're going to sell me a Nothing Burger at least give me more than an empty bag. Feel sorry for Rep. Comer's wife. He keeps telling her that he'll satisfy her 'tomorrow', and she's had enough and is getting close to shagging the Amazon delivery guy.

Variety is good. And there is also specialty and quality. I'm not a huge buffet fan since I like more, smaller meals, but my three current favs are: Mo-Mo Paradise, nice balance of quality v. price Wisdom - not cheap 1,499 ++, but the oysters (fine de claire), mwah. Small plates, which is a plus. Homono-Central World

Yes, common sense, thank you. It's in short supply here. It's like the "OMG modern cannabis is super strong", which is leading to the decline of Civilization. Yesterday's (19xx's) pot was 10% THC, today's is 25% THC. I'm not that bright but I do understand the difference. I'll just smoke less, I mean it's not like cannabis comes in measured containers which I feel I need to drain completely? D'oh. I might drink a pint of beer, that doesn't mean I'm going to drink a pint of Everclear, just because they're both "pints". It's weird that many anti-cannabis advocates here feel the need for exaggeration and hyperbole to make their points. It's as if they know that don't have a good argument so they resort to the extreme.

Prison volleyball team looking forward to breaking in their next star. His presser was wild, he's got some stones... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AIb-T1ZG_SU

"ignites fresh controversy"? Heck, he set the whole auditorium on fire. It would be easier to list his statements which were accurate and truthful, both of them, rather than the fire-hose of lies. Fact checkers be workin' all night. Look I'm glad he showed us what he is, but man if I were a family member I might try to get gramps back to Senior Care facility at Mar-a-lago ASAP. Maybe his corset/girdle was too tight? He can't wear it when he plays golf, so that's why he looks so whale-like in the links photos.

"we"? Is that you and your close friends? I knew i think we

Does anyone have a link to the 30 page "probe"? I searched, couldn't find anything.

And Thai officials are concerned about the plumeting birth rate? https://www.reuters.com/world/asia-pacific/thailand-bids-avert-population-crisis-birth-rate-crashes-2022-03-07/

More observations.... Cannabis does not cause Schizophrenia. If you have been diagnosed with Schizophrenia you should not consume ANY cannabis unless so prescribed by a competent physician. Abuse of any drug/substance is not recommended. The headline of the OP should be modified. "Danish study indicates the abuse of all sorts of stuff can exacerbate the symptoms of Schizophrenia"

Understood, but an appeal can/may/could result in a new trial, right? From your link... If the appeals court affirms the lower court's judgment, the case ends, unless the losing party appeals to a higher court. The lower court decision also stands if the appeals court simply dismisses the appeal (usually for reasons of jurisdiction). If the judgment is reversed, the appellate court will usually send the case back to a lower court ( remand it) and order the trial court to take further action. It may order that a new trial be held, the trial court's judgment be modified or corrected, the trial court reconsider the facts, take additional evidence, or consider the case in light of a recent decision by the appellate court. So yeah, I'm not seeing that an appeal is the smart move. It just raises the ugly spectre of Trump's alleged aberrant behavior. But maybe you know something we don't?

That's a classic.

Yeah, in that post-verdict presser he comes across as clueless. The body language is telling too. I think he was just in a bit of a fog, dealing with the loss, having to tell Trump over the phone and getting screamed at, so he just fumbled his way through, repeating the same phrases. What's the point of an appeal? To get another trial? How is that a good thing for Trump? Playing the deposition tape over and over again? Just fleece your followers for $5 m, pay it and move on. And maybe look for cheaper sex options going forward? Ring up Ms. Daniels, only $130,000 a pop.

"Trump is not a rapist, that's what this case was all about." Joe Tacopina It's a win. He does seem pretty adamant regarding the appeal, but that could just be his reaction to this devasting loss. https://www.newsnationnow.com/video/trump-lawyer-jury-returned-‘inconsistent-verdict’-newsnation-now/8632293/

OK, so based on some vague criteria you, and all Dutch people, are a self-declared drugs expert. So when pressed you revert to this defense. Noted. So are you calling me a fool? I neither dared nor claimed cannabis is all good. And who are you calling stupid?

OK, when you put it like that, sure. I guess. But I can say you're wrong, followed by "that's a fact". Does everything work like a magnifying glass? Or just cannabis? Sorry, but this is just vague generalization, perhaps representative of your experiences. To say that it represents everyone's experience is flawed. No one is saying Cannabis use is without risk. Cannabis abuse needs to be defined. The study in the OP appears to be a less than rigorous, peer reviewed, published scientifc study.
