NEW Stupid Republican Idea of the Day (Part 3)

I suspect the province of New Brunswick does have a bit more money than him.

And I further suspect that this lawsuit will not go anywhere beyond a few lawyers writing responses that are basically “pull the other one, idiot plaintiff”

You’re an excellent husband. Well done.

Undoubtedly, but it wouldn’t be the province that is paying to defend this action. It would be the university.

Most Canadian universities, though publicly-funded, tend to have substantial reserves. Investments, and so on. Maybe not liquifiable at a moment’s notice, but give them a week or two, and they’ll have the cash. I well remember being a student at the U of Toronto (late 70s/early 80s), and the constant calls for the U to divest itself of investments in South African businesses because of apartheid. First I heard about a university’s financial interests. Then, some years later when I attended the University of Alberta, I learned that it was pretty damn rich too, thanks to investments.

Given all that, I think that the UNB can defend this action without the help of the province of New Brunswick. If it has to dip into its reserves, well, it will.

What am I missing here. The suit’s in the US and the university is in Canada, right? Why can’t the university just blow it off?

If they have any investments that are located in the US, the US court could seize them to pay any judgement.

Sorry I didn’t get back to this one earlier. Had a “working weekend” where, by law, China’s government magically converts a weekend day into a weekday.

The link is to Adolph shampoo which, as I mentioned above, goes for 88 yuan here. The 88 price tag is because that’s a good luck number for the Chinese. Evidently, they’re not all that up on why honoring a particular person and ocnnecting it with that number aren’t exactly good ideas. Oh, yes; take a wild guess what the woman’s shampoo is named.

We play nice with Canada, and they with us. At least for the most part, in the courts. Don’t commit your murders across the border, then run home. It won’t work!

Thatcher?

Now you tell me.

It’s Eva.

I saw that episode of SVU.

Mothership, too. Woman commits murder, runs to Canada, who won’t extradite until McCoy promises no death penalty. It didn’t help. McCoy had “Hang 'em High” Abbie as his AADA,

On the flip side, the parrot’s been repeating the most vile lies about January 6.

Jim Acosta gets fed up with Corey Lewandowski refusing to pronounce Harris’ first name correctly.

Yes, that fiendish Tim Walz. Cleverly setting things up so you can’t waste your money on crap! What a monster!

Ok, that’s it. If djt gets elected, let’s build a wall around Minnesota and all move there.

YES! FINALLY! The right has settled on kuh Ma la as a way to slight her while maintaining some semblance of getting her name correctly, a faux simple mistake defense. Harris won’t dignify their efforts by addressing it, but the legitimate press should be. Go Jim Acosta. Every news anchor not on Fox should be doing this at the first mispronunciation. Call them out for childishness. Make them own the disrespect.

I’m trying to understand the legality issues. I know that some groups are using authentic $2 bills to make artistic commemorative trophies using some overlay that can easily be removed, meaning the bill is undamaged and therefore legal tender.

I’m trying to figure out the applicability of the Minnesota tax law concerning purchase of precious metals. Apparently there were frauds about fake coins and metals, so dealers have restrictions, have to pay a fee and file for a tax ID number, and deal with state and local taxes on sales of commemorative articles.

Anyway, she’s projecting. The law stems from 1981. But it’s gotta be political, because Trump is so persecuted.

I saw the interview with that lady upset that she couldn’t buy her precious Trump two dollar bills. The seller didn’t want to ship to Minnesota because they were forcing them to collect sales tax on them. If they were pure silver bullion coins, there would be no sales tax, but since these are just collectables with no investment potential, the state says they’re just like other taxable items. She should be complaining about the seller being jerks about complying with the law; the state would be ok with them then.

The kicker in the interview was when she stated that if they had pictures of Harris or Biden, Minnesota would let her buy them. Of course they would, after they get the sales tax. She thought it was just an anti-Trump conspiracy.

Two things:
A)In one sentence she says both “There’s so much political rhetoric going around it’s unbelievable” and “He doesn’t want Trump to be President, and they have been doing everything they can to not have him be President.”

B)““If these bills had been of Biden or Harris, I would still want them because it would still be a historical memento, but the thing is if it was Walz or Harris on these bills we would be able to [get?] them”
It’s a good thing they sell, literally, exactly, that. I’m sure she bought those instead, right…right?

Three things…
“I was going to order one for each of my 5 kids”
You’re in a cult, why on Earth do you think your kids want them. And given the time of year, it’s probably going to be for Christmas. I bet she sends her kids off to school in Trump shirts.

C’mon. She’s right. Of course it’s an anti-melon felon conspiracy. Don’t you remember the first day of law school where they teach that it’s the laws that make you a criminal, not you?
