Normally I'd be a little more...philosophical about it. And cut it the fuck loose.
But when a seditionist cult tries to co-opt Wade Garrett you got two choices: you can let it happen or you can enlighten the motherfuckers.
They have to meet the same standards as any other student applying for federal aid. The school for which they are applying has to be accredited and not much else. Liberty is competing for the same pool of federal student aid money as the for-profit colleges. Consider the quality of student at those places and realize that they qualify for federal loans.
Without federal assistance Liberty does not exist in its current form.
Production companies bring scalable, enterprise-wide thought leadership, logistical expertise navigating the "production ecosystem", and results driven processes maximizing organizational synergies culminating in a best-in-class media solution that meets the demands of a diverse consumer constituency.
Production companies don't just produce movies. They produce better people.
With a paid armorer on set I don't blame Baldwin for not checking each cartridge in a prop gun for a scene calling for blanks (if that is the case). He will carry a heavy penance for the rest of his life. That's worthy of some empathy.
I admire your commitment to preventative measures. We could use more of your attitude in the vaccine threads.
Did the scene call for blanks to be used and if so, are blanks easily distinguishable from live ammunition when they are in the cylinder? Honest question as I've never dealt with blank cartridges before. Or does the presence of any cartridge negate it being a cold gun?
Isn't that the playbook that worked for Tom DeLay?
Delay it for 6-7 years so nobody really remembers the scandal, paint the offense as a technical distinction, make the trial boring as shit, and in DeLay's case, make sure the venue isn't Harris county.
Great but there is no religious exemption for your mildly Catholic gut. Doctrine and church teaching aren't merely peripheral considerations in that context.
Papal infallibility out front shoulda told you.
Hell I was mildly encouraged that Bernie was the analogy and not AOC and the GND. At least Bernie was a candidate that was subjected to electoral scrutiny as the proposed leader of the party. And he was rejected by dems in the primaries.
Twice.
But the movement he was trying to equivocate Bernie to, MAGA-Q, yeah that's the talent pool that republicans are drawing from for school boards to federal races. Totally the same thing.
A narcissistic request to an omnipotent, benevolent creator with an infallible grand plan to change His mind?
But yeah, "appeal to sorcery" is more concise.
