Hi, @extradiagetic's partner here to let you know that he passed away peacefully last evening. He really enjoyed the banter with many of you and also posting his own sometimes cryptic missives. I'll try and monitor this account for the next while

Monaco town hall has purchased two electric bikes for the municipal police. The move will allow police to quickly intervene in areas that are difficult to access without polluting and avoiding increasingly dense traffic

Five flamingos along a Lake Michigan beach attracted a big crowd of onlookers who were eager to see the unusual visitors.

It marked the first sighting of the species in Wisconsin state history, an expert said. https://t.co/SIZ6D5bHk9

[David Frum @davidfrum]

Some reply: Congress could impeach. But impeachment can impose no penalty beyond removal and disqualification. If the theory of self-pardon is true, a president who murdered the first lady on federal property and immediately pardoned himself would face no criminal penalty.

[Mark - NotGoingBack - Walston @mark_walston]

@davidfrum If the president can pardon himself, that would mean any VP could murder a president, assume his job and then pardon himself for having done it.

If the legal outcome is absurd, the legal theory is wrong.
