Unlike regular ice, glacial ice is incredibly dense, compacted over time by immense pressure. As light passes through, all colors in the spectrum are absorbed except for blue, which is scattered and reflected back to our eyes.
The result: A breathtakingly vibrant blue hue! π
@shipwreckedcrew I doubt Scotten is the only DOJ attorney trying to make a name for himself by winning a high-profile case.
Certainly career/professional considerations motivate many attorneys.
@ffe_3301 Trump's first term was filled with larpers saying "be patient", "indictments coming", "trust the plan" and it was all a bunch of horsecrap.
This time, people want results. Fast results.
I agree, no such thing as coincidences.
@ProfMJCleveland π¨ UPDATE: Paul Clement (amicus chosen by judge) recommends the indictment be dismissed *with* prejudice.
DOJ is seeking to dismiss without prejudice.
Notably, Clement recommends the dismissal be with prejudice (meaning Adams can't be charged again) even though the Trump DOJ sought to have it dismissed without prejudice.
By dismissing *with* prejudice there would be no Sword of Damocles hanging over the mayor.
JUST IN: Court-appointed amicus Paul Clement recommends Judge Ho dismiss Adams case with prejudice (meaning those charged can't be refiled). Odd, though: no mention of Rule 48 fight in Gen. Mike Flynn's case https://t.co/TwX2u6tnVy
@outbreakupdates Just learned a few things: New Mexico has the greatest number of reported cases in the US. Mortality is quite high, killing 1 out of every 3 who get infected. Usual transmission involved rodents (inhaling droppings dust or getting bitten) and in NM likely deer mice.
@MZHemingway@JackPosobiec Loud voices in MAGAsphere that keep attacking ACB are only going to alienate her. Judges are human and if she's relentlessly attacked, it may color her opinions and not the way MAGA would like.
Do people think calling her "DEI" and "traitor" is going to make her more MAGAish?
The Trump admin forcing Washington DC area federal workers back to in-person work is a huge boon for DC businesses (and DC govt tax revenue).
Mayor Bowser must be thrilled about this. Cleaning up homeless encampments and graffiti is a small price to pay.
URBAN ULTIMATUM: Trump tells D.C. mayor to act now to "clean up" sprawling homeless encampments within the city or his team will do the job for her. Read more. https://t.co/4w87lM7VyM
