It's going to be interesting to see the lawyers challenge that for Hunter Biden's coke habit.

Shouldn't this result in more charges for obstruction and another RICO case if any Representatives go along with it?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

Oh, yeah, but as the court veers more conservative, that's not going to change any time soon.

Maybe once Thomas and Alito are gone, assuming that happens under a Democratic President and they don't have their picks blockaded the way McConnell did to Merrick Garland.

Those fall under "destructive devices", and with the exception of grenades aren't "bearable" arms as defined by the court.

LOL - try that in court and see how far you get. "I don't need a lawyer, man, laws aren't real..."

I agree, but what's the alternative?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

And intentionally so. :)

They can't be implemented because the Supreme Court has already made multiple key rulings o the topic since 2008 and have a few more in their case load for this year and next. It's not going to get better, it will only get worse from here on out.

Fortunately here there are only 2 paths to Washington and you pretty much have to do either intentionally.

I-5 gets backed up so you sit in traffic for 20-30 minutes before you hit the final exit in Oregon.

I-205 has the exit to the airport before you're on the bridge to WA so it's kind of hard to miss.

That's actually a less likely scenario than fixing the 2nd Amendment. :)

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 years ago (3 children)

That's absolutely true and something I think about when I leave the house.

I live in Portland, Oregon which is just a river and a bridge away from Vancouver, Washington.

I have a concealed carry permit for Oregon, but Oregon and Washington don't have laws for reciprocity.

So my carrying concealed in Oregon is perfectly legal, but would get me in trouble in Washington and vice versa.

So it's contingent on me, the gun owner, to be aware of the laws and remain in compliance. Mostly going "Do I need to go to Vancouver today?" If yes, leave the gun at home.

Willis had a deadline of Midnight, Tuesday, September 12th to present her plan to try all 19 defendants at once. She has now done so.

 

Labor Day is now over and we move into the full political calendar.

I've put together a listing of the Republican Primary calendar, with dates, delegates and current polling so you can see everything in one place.

As we move out of the Primaries and into the General, I'll set up similar charts for the Presidential race and the Senate races. I'm not sure I personally have the juice to track 435 House races. :)

I'm seeing competing results on the number of delegates, so some states are more accurate than others. As I learn more, I will update the post.

There are a total of 2,467 Republican Delegates up for grabs, 2363 Pledged and 104 Unpledged. Unpledged delegates are bolded below.

1234 delegates (easy to remember!) are needed to win the nomination. Pledged delegates are obligated to support the candidate nominated by their Primary or Caucus. Unpledged delegates can support whoever they would like.

2 states (Wyoming and Pennsylvania) have both Pledged and Unpledged delegates, they are divided with a / mark.

Poll Data comes from fivethirtyeight.com, I've selected the poll that is both the most recent AND has the most complete slate of candidates. It didn't seem fair to compare polls that only had Trump / Desantis vs. a poll with 9 or 10 candidates.

Some of these polls are SUPER old though, from before when Desantis announced, take them with a pound of salt. Will update regularly.

One interesting takeaway - Beyond Trump and Desantis, Mike Pence is the most popular 3rd choice, being listed 11 times and Niki Haley is just behind at 8 times.

If you are familiar with my You Are Here posts for Trump trial dates, those are NOT included here for the simple reasons that a) I didn't want the added clutter, and b) with the exception of the E. Jean Carrol damages ruling on 1/15, there's no way the trials will be over in a day. They will roll on for months.

BBQ Beef Roast with Sweet Bourbon Glaze

https://www.lecreuset.com/bbq-beef-roast-with-sweet-bourbon-glaze/LCR-2748.html

Cook Time 5 hours 30 minutes

With all the flavors of a backyard barbecue, this beef roast is first coated with a beef roast and then allowed to cook low and slow until it is fork tender. The last step is to coat it with a sweet and tangy glaze that gives it a crispy crust.

INGREDIENTS

1 5–6 pound boneless beef chuck roast or top round beef roast

2 tablespoons smoked paprika

1 tablespoon kosher salt

1 tablespoon black pepper

1 tablespoon brown sugar

1 tablespoon chili powder

1 tablespoon garlic powder

1 cup beef broth

4 tablespoons salted butter, sliced

2 pounds petite potatoes (I used gemstone potatoes)

Sweet Bourbon Glaze

1/2 cup ketchup

1/4 cup apple cider vinegar

2 tablespoons bourbon, optional

1/4 cup brown sugar

1 tablespoon smoked paprika

1 teaspoon garlic powder

INSTRUCTIONS For the beef roast:

Preheat oven to 300°F.

Combine 2 tablespoons smoked paprika, salt, pepper, 1 tablespoon brown sugar, chili powder and 1 tablespoon garlic powder in a small mixing bowl. Spread rub all over the beef roast.

Place beef roast in a deep baking dish. Pour beef broth around the roast being careful not to wash the spice rub off the roast. Top the roast with the sliced butter.

Cover with the lid and place in preheated oven. Roast for 3 hours, then uncover and add the potatoes around the roast. Use a wooden spoon to move around the roast, allowing the potatoes to fill in along the sides and bottom of the roast. Recover and roast 1–2 more hours, or until the beef can be easily pulled apart with a fork. Remove the baking dish from the oven, and carefully drain the jus from the pot, reserving in a bowl for later.

For the glaze:

Increase oven temperature to 425°F.

Combine ketchup, apple cider vinegar, bourbon, 1/4 cup brown sugar, 1 tablespoon smoked paprika and 1 teaspoon garlic powder in a small mixing bowl. Spread glaze generously across the top and sides of the roast. Return the roast to the oven uncovered and roast for 25–30 minutes longer, until the glaze is bubbling and caramelized.

To serve, use two forks to shred the roast, and serve alongside the reserved jus, spooning it on top of the roast and the potatoes.

Chuck roast: (lemmy.one)
submitted 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) by [email protected] to c/[email protected]
 

I found a couple of good recipes for chuck roast, so I combined them and made it myself. I never used a braising pan before or cooked a beef roast before.

Here's what I did:

1 pack of bacon, diced and cooked in olive oil on medium high until the edges were brown, then removed.

In the same pan, 2 diced carrots, 2 diced celery stalks, 2 diced Walla Walla sweet onions. Cooked on medium high until carmaelized, then removed.

3.37 pound (1.5 kg) boneless chuck roast. Patted dry, heavily salted and peppered, seared on one side for 5 minutes, flipped and then seared on the other side for 5 minutes and removed.

Added back 1/2 cup (118 ml) Grand Marnier and 2 cups (473 ml) of Malbec Wine. Deglazed the pan scraping up all the brown bits.

Put the bacon back in, put the veggies back in, stirred until well distributed. Added bay leaves, thyme and rosemary, several cloves of minced garlic, topped with the meat.

Brought to a boil then placed in a pre-heated 325° F (163° C) oven for 3 hours.

After 3 hours, beef was to temp and easily shreddable. (Finally! A reason to use the meat claws!) Resting on stove top while I cook some pasta to go with it.

Pasta was super simple. Boiled water and salt, cooked a bag of egg noodles for 8 or 9 minutes. Drained, removed, then melted a stick of butter in the pot, added a small container of heavy cream, added rosemary and thyme, brought it to a simmer then popped the pasta back in and cooked a couple of minutes.

 

I inherited my grandmothers dutch oven (center), it's probably 70 years old now. Still cooks up a storm!

Then I found I lived an easy drive from an outlet store and, well, yeah, that happened. :)

I use it regularly, I used to be in the Le Creuset sub on reddit, but then reddit went to hell. :(

So... any other fans out there?
