Once again, you assume something about me that is not true. On that we agree, a moderate Republican would be a far better choice than either of the candidates we now have. The country, left and right, more and more seem to reject moderation in favor of extremism. If that trend continues, then...

How did you determine that the officer didn't have the reasonable suspicion needed to make a traffic stop? It doesn't take a whole lot to meet that standard. If you don't what the officer will say about that then you don't really know that the court will rule the stop invalid. That's your...

My statement about the status of those three decisions to keep Trump off the ballot was merely a statement of facts, not an argument. I don't see you stating that the facts I stated were wrong. That I stated the facts is not a reflection of my views of the efforts to keep him off the ballot. Did...

And I'm guessing no warranties, expressed or implied, and no refunds either, right?

I have (probably too) many timepieces. About half adjust themselves by either satellite signal or from the NIST (which was known as the National Bureau of Standards when I was growing up) time signal broadcast from near Fort Collins, Colorado. The other half I have just completed changing. :D...

Correct, but it is one in which the people elect their representatives, and in that regard is also democratic. It is not a pure democracy in which the people would decide every single matter by voting; a wise choice by our founders. While the design of our government may not be perfect (which...

One state's supreme court, one state trial court, and one state's secretary of state had held that Trump was barred from being on the ballot because of the 14th Amendment. The latter two had their decisions stayed pending the outcome of the Supreme Court's decision. The Colorado Secretary of...

IMO you made the right decision. It's aggravating to have these kinds of things happen, but it makes it worse to dwell on it and, as you said, waste your time on it.

Our right to freedom of speech means, among other things, that the government may not punish us for insulting others or calling them offensive names. That said, had you responded that way you may have goaded him into attacking you. While the city could prosecute the guy for doing that, that's...

That's where we have a fundamental difference. IMO Trump is the problem, not the solution. I'm not going attack you over that, as I believe that everyone is entitled to vote for the candidate of their choice regardless of what others, including myself, think. I do think that everyone who is...

I don't agree with your opinion on that. I'll wager that I've seen more of the inside of the judicial system than you have to have a little better insight on that. Regardless, one case doesn't tell you anything about how the rest of the cases in the country are handled. Your view is one that is...

I don't see any liability on the part of the insurer or TPA that is related to your co-payments or for money you paid for things unrelated to the issue in dispute. The real dispute you have with them is over the $11k you paid. If, as I expect, you signed a settlement agreement for this that bars...

I agree, but those qualities seem to be in short supply this century.

In addition to the other comments, one expects some puffery in ads so you always have to be a bit wary of glowing claims made in ads. The ads should not, however, be outright false or misleading. On the criminal side, ads that contain false or misleading information in them are generally charged...

I wouldn't call it "the most significant case of judicial misconduct". The only thing that makes this case at all newsworthy is that she's pursuing a case against Trump. It would otherwise be a local matter that might be of some interest to people in that area.I consider her relationship issue...

I specified a well run business. :D Of course, a poorly run business might well hire all kinds of incompetent people, based on knowing some other incompetent person in the business or some other irrelevant factor. A lot of utilities fall into that latter category because they have no...

It's a mix of both. If you don't at least know the minimum knowledge needed for the job then in most well run businesses you wouldn't be hired even if a close buddy worked there in a position of influence. The exception is when the buddy is the owner of the business. Sometimes they'll hire a...

Yep, that's exactly the problem: forecasting out to the end of the year is difficult at best. You're welcome. I'm glad there was something useful in my somewhat rambling posts on the subject.

I've no problem with people reporting known fraud. That's not being a "snitch" but rather protecting those who were victims of it or who might be victims of it in the future. Minding your business is a good principle in many instances, but I draw the line at serious crime. And fraud is in that...

Correct. In order for the exchange of a qualified retirement asset to qualify as a RMD distribution, the exchange would have to result in you receiving some non retirement plan asset. i.e. not a roll over distribution. It's got to be a taxable distribution, not something in which the tax is...
