Re: Let's talk about the merits of the NY case against Trump

I posted last week about how the defense will probably seek a directed verdict. There is no way on earth that this judge grants that motion as the political fallout from such a decision would effectively end this judge's career. As I think about that possibility, I can't even begin to imagine the o...

Re: I-375 deconstruction is crony capitalism in action

Rate This - you often seem to take the big government line on matters. Often government-paid teachers have that attitude too, but I thought you worked in the private sector? You really think the non-educated skeptics like you could run a society for the entire citizenry better than the current syst...

Re: Michigan Jobs are Boring

I tend to agree. Both my kids left the state because neither is interested in computer or tech jobs, and their skills reach beyond being a tactician. CS jobs in Michigan pay about 2/3's of what is available elsewhere. That might be true, however Cost of living in Michigan is well below that of Cali...

Re: The Bias of Alito

So according to this I'll constructed piece, we should forgo developing ethics because we haven't had them for centuries? A SCOTUS justice creates a conflict by displaying this at his home, period. Maybe the WSJ option folks will advocate that slavery is a traditional that shouldn't be scrutinized e...

And we are sure that is the case? Remember that "appearance " is the threshold of conflict of interest.

The Bias of Alito

Does Alito need to recuse himself from Trump hearings in front the Supreme Court? This chump is our last bastion of upholding the constitution? His demonstrated arrogance suggests the Chief Justice may need to get involved. The revelation that an upside-down American flag, a symbol adopted to contes...

As I recall, the original-original plan (late 1950s) was to have the 375 expressway connect to the US10 expressway (the Lodge) on Jefferson, as an expressway.
That's a pretty stupid plan. It would have destroyed downtown.

The prosecution has not finished presenting its case, let's see how it goes... you were pretty quiet last week when Stormy was on the stand.

Re: Pro-Palestinian terrorist protesters take over Columbia University building

This is criminal activity from the anti-Semites. https://publicaffairs.vpcomm.umich.edu/key-issues/incidents-at-regents-residences/ The protesters should have had open carry guns and called it a second amendment rally. And last time I checked, Jewish Voice for Peace aren't antisemitics. Could it be...

Re: I-375 deconstruction is crony capitalism in action

Duggan wants to put more hotels near Ford Field; that's what this is primarily about, I suspect. He gets to use state and federal tax monies for his pet project. The city has minimal to no skin in the game. Every project of this magnitude is funded by the feds, they're pulling up an Interstate. Thi...

Re: I-375 deconstruction is crony capitalism in action

Looking at this map, removing these "Walls" from the city, I think it will fuel growth in 3 directions in a similar way that growth has occurred up Woodward Ave. From what I read, the urban planners are pretty shrewd to accomplish the goals from removing these roads. All the neighborhoods from Downt...
