The secret is persistence.

The first part? Abso-fucking-lutely.

This was a high profile case that was all over the news for weeks. And frankly it looks like a slam dunk for the prosecution. The Biden Justice Department absolutely would’ve brought federal charges.

Not sure how you figure that. Trump is not exactly hands off with the Justice Department.

Not at all surprising and it wouldn’t have been any different under the last administration. From the whole “rule of law” perspective you can’t really not go after somebody who committed premeditated murder on film just because his target was someone that people didn’t like. What the jurors decide to do is a whole different can of worms (although if you ask me to make a prediction, I think they most likely find him guilty).

Don’t fuck with Great Blue Herons. They have razor sharp beaks and an instinct to attack the eyes.

It’s state by state in the US but there’s very few where smoking would be allowed in a restaurant left. Specifics are often down to the city level. They still allow smoking on outdoor patios in my city. There used to be provisions around tavern licenses where they could have smoking indoors in a room which had separate external ventilation but that’s really in the weeds of zoning. I think they’re trying to kill the few of these licenses remaining, too.
