Just another Ph.D teaching students how relevant the Roman Empire still is, often in Latin (history rhymes in awful ways). Pseudonym b/c I am contract faculty. Very glad to be (re)connecting with friends here!
Have you seen the cringe video from the podcast where he makes the hand gesture? I saw it on Psaki last night. Constant grimace material.

And, no, I’m not a Rowling fan at all. Emma Watson is just tremendous in that scene and the directing and cinematography is simple and haunting.

Snake oil salesman would have been his career 150 yrs ago.

Not that Ivermectin is snake oil. I buy some every few months and use as directed—TO DEWORM MY HORSE!

So it looks like Bové could be brought up based on what they have without being charged or convicted in the court system—the trick would be having the 2/3 Senate majority required to boot him (presuming you’d have to have a majority even willing to try him in the house). not impossible though!

If he had been convicted, they still would have had to have an impeachment trial, nothing is automatic. Although he was removed from the judiciary, he went on to serve in Congress for a loooooong time. Being booted from judiciary does not bar other federal office unlike presidential impeachment.

I had to look it up b/c I was vague on the details of Alcee Hastings, b it he was from my neck of the woods in Florida and I was in jr high when they started his impeachment proceedings. He was acquitted of bribery by the courts, but impeached by congress for perjury and soliciting a bribe.

Highly recommend doing what I do.

Call him mar-KWAYNE in your mind.

Know he’d hate it like b/c he is a petty, small-minded grifter-loser.

For me it is about putting on the “suit” of whatever I enjoy. So can stand in front of a classroom with over a hundred students w/out squirming, but then I’m in professor mode (and afterward I’m cognitively exhausted, lol). So what you said makes perfect sense to me!

Lmao. Ironically, my horse is at a barn which divides the horses into herds for turnout. Each heard is named for a famous horse. Our boy is in, you guessed it, Trigger.

For me, a person who has never liked “standing out,” having an explanation for many things that had been classified as, shall we say, eccentricities, took a bit of a weight off (unexpected). Sort of, oh, that’s just a sensory thing—not some big deal to have unjustified self-reciriminations about!

Lmao. I can actually see that!

I’m just surprised chocolate is not on there. Was there a fruit only exclusion?

I meant in your brain—as you’ve rightly pointed out, this IS your list.
