If he checks himself out today, what are the odds he's readmitted in the next week?

At Harvard Law we had a "use plain English" movement. Can you think of a better word to use than "surmise?"

Imagine there's no big words
It's easy if you try

It was especially dicey time for me because Yale Law was still using "stuffy pretentious English" so those semesters I couldn't use the same papers in both schools {sad face}

I seldom reply to the same post twice, but I think that's where Penske went? I met him once.

Fuck. It's four and one half to five hours total. Gummies and herculean cocktail consumption just prior to flight back will be required.

Flight out is in morning, so a book alone will cover that.

In laws are flying to Hawaii around holidays. That is simply unpossible sans drinks. I would not go that far under any circumstances unless allowed to imbibe.

If I were Soros, I would dump a lot of money on Facebook to target conservatives with the idea that Trump is tired and sick and going to lose, and why should they bother voting. Not a lot of minds left to change out there, but if Democrats are motivated and Republicans are not, that's how you get to a blowout.
Soros spent all of his money buying the company that manufactures the election machines so he can change the votes directly. (That was the rumor in 2016, and we're about due for its recirulation in the next couple weeks.)

What are the odds he becomes a steroid addict?

Biden should keep brass knuckles in his pocket for the next debate.

Hank seems to have disappeared today. Any chance he's a "Wolverine Watchman".
