After losing his gun license in New York state due to his felony convictions, Trump’s liquor licenses at New Jersey golf courses are in jeopardy for the same reason … one or more of them have a temporary 90-day permit pending a hearing on the matter …

I assume that liquor licenses are granted contingent on the record and character of the business owner who has to be trusted to conform to a variety of liquor laws. As much of a bureaucracy as liquor licensing is, it does actually seem to make sense to consider the trustworthiness of the establishment owner.

After the “alley cat” remark, I fully expect to see his knuckle draggers coming to his rallies with cat ears and tails. It’s a little too cute to sting.

Ya know, I felt kinda bad after the debate. But I think I’ll recover after the sentencing.

Oh. I’m a Republican. Or at least I was at one time.

Speaking of the sentencing, [here](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/july-11-2024-a-date-which-will-live-in-democracy/1003551/)’s my thread in The BBQ Pit about it.

Bonobo are very moral. Better to hump than fight. Or maybe that’s ethical. I always get those confused.

Can the Board’s legal (b)eagles explain to me why, exactly, the convict’s lawyers cannot be sanctioned. ISTM they were not putting forth legal arguments in good faith. During the impeachments and subsequent senate trials, they put forth the idea that the trial courts are the appropriate venue for the crimes he committed. Now that he’s been dragged in front of the courts, they put forth, and sadly the Supreme Court agreed with them, that impeachment and subsequent Senate trial is the appropriate venue.
