crunch is it? well it is difficult and time is of essence. it is difficult because of the nature of the client. donald trump is not an easy client to represent. you soo he lawyers leaving because he s not following their advice. nobody wants nobody wants a client who doesn t follow their advice and it is critical because the judge said we re going to move quickly here and we need you to get security clearances an then i ll set a schedule and you ll have to comply with it. and so time is really of essence for trump to find someone who could be a florida-based trial lawyer. how much of that time frame is complicated by the fact that this additional lawyer, whenever he or she is named, will also have to get security clearance. if they don t have a security clearance. many lawyers have them because of the nature of the practice, but if they don t have one, it is a couple of week process. those forms from the justice department, a multiple pages long and you have to fill in your lif
evolution in the party. in 2008, neither barack obama or hillary clinton were emphasizing this issue. democrats have already lost most of the voters that they have feared losing because of advocating gun control. they have lost them on other issues. they are the culturally conservative, predominantly blue collar and rural whites. many are the same voters fueling the donald trump phenomenon. it is much more urbanized and heavily dependant on millennials, minorities and socially liberal whites. there is a cost in pushing gun control and it tends to activate and energize the voters. with democrats, i ve concluded that among the voters that were available to them, they can make a case for that. you soo he that, by the way, in the action in blue states while red states have been loosening gun control, you see a number of the blue states tightening it.

a half time show. they basically compared it to a music video. at least he was sing live and bruno mars was isinging live. bruno mars also had a prerecorded backtrack. bruce springsteen five yearsing a, the east street band was prerecorded. i m glad they didn t try to fake it by plugging in the guitars and pretending to do it. there was photo evidence that showed us they weren t plugged in. the chili peppers have taken a strong stance against miamiing and even mocking it during rehearsals for a british tv show during the 1980s. they went on stage and used shoes as guitars to show people they were really miamiing. it was kind of sad to see. there it is. you soo he that. they kind of said to people, we know we are faking it and we want you to know it for sure. they did at least end their blog post by saying, hey, we are going to continue to play live for people that come and pay for
