Irreparable harm is a legal term.
In order to get an injunction in the US courts until a higher court resolves the matter then, there needs to be irreparable harm which means that the lower courts ruling is not implemented yet.
Otherwise the lower courts ruling should be followed immediately followed by reversing it on appeal.
Yes, but what is the irreparable harm that would occur if he were investigated?
Isn't that just because if the records are released pending the appeal, that makes the appeal useless since you can't un-release the records? And therefore it'd be irreparable.
Yes that's the meaning of the phrase. Can't put the genie back in the bottle.

He's the reality TV president and everything is a photo-op. Should have planned ahead and autographed rolls of paper towels, then thrown them to adoring fans (carefully selected by his advance team). haha :(
On a more serious note, the ad from Neumann (former Asst. Sec. for Counterterrorism and Threat Prevention) was indeed brutal, but probably too late to make a difference. (?) Her target audience *should* be the enablers who still work in the Trump administration, and the RNC that wants to get him re-elected.
Oh yeah, and the White Evangelical crowd that's only Pro-Life when it comes to abortion. :bored:

I think today's news could be very significant. This is incredibly powerful from Biden.
I mocked him a lot during the primary season until it became clear he was the only one who could replace Trump, but wow this is powerful.
Twitter Link Biden is on fire.
All right guys don't listen to the clips from Trump's presser unless you wanna die of fremdschämen. This guy is such a sad fucking clown it's not even funny
The Germans have the best words, but that was a new one to me. What a great word.
Kind of curious and concerned what presser you're talking about now.
Biden's answer is so very, very good. Even when he expresses disappointment, the answer as a whole radiates empathy—and that empathy turns this comment on something sad and gross into a positive experience for anyone listening.Quote:

Fremdschämen indeed.

Just think—this tool is now the VP.
Twitter Link
Errrrr... not sure Buttigieg belongs on that team but whatevs.
This pathetic fucking tool is trying to make something of Biden's disinterest in wasting time on them when visiting his dead son's grave:
Twitter Link
Simultaneously drawing attention to the fact that nobody respects them—and why.
He gave the tool who shouted across the graveyard a cheery wave too. Very polite by Biden.
Fascinating article: https://www.nytimes.com/2020/09/07/u...ndraising.html
Looks like Lewk was right about the protests sinking the Biden campaign:
Twitter Link
Biden is polling in the lead nationally on the topic of law and order.
Which makes sense when Trump is the one presiding over law and order issues.
Mmhmmm if this were the case the Democrats wouldn't be pulling back from being pro-riot. I'm not always right but I think the election is going to be vastly different from others. The change in how people are voting combined with the absolute crazy extremism now front and center in front of everyone.
You're just not very bright. Take the L you clown, you've embarrassed yourself enough for one week.Quote:

Less than 60 days and things are still fluid but there is definite push-back on the rioting as a big loser for Democrats. The question is what can Biden do to show that he is tough and will crack down on lawlessness while not alienating the people he's consistently insulted?
It is remarkable how dumb you are, still harping on about straw men that are no doubt hot shit in whatever Facebook group for shitheads it is that you spend your online time, but that are just unbelievably silly out in the real world. You predicted a swift and substantial shift in polling in Trump's favor as a result of the protests; no such shift has materialized in the time frame in which you expected it to. The reason is that most people don't have their heads stuck up their asses like you do.
I see RandBlade is all over the place again. Here he's supporting Biden, in the Brexit thread he's supporting policies that are wholeheartedly rejected by Biden.
Don't worry, parliament can pass an act to make Biden accept those policies.Quote:

It's difficult to fathom just how stupid his defenders are.
In fairness, what is good for the UK is not necessarily good for the US and vice versa.Quote:

Trump gave information to him and completely opposite information to us. THAT IS ALREADY FACT. Nothing to check.
Woodward is profiteering scum.

Jusssst saying.
What are you saying, you halfwit? That your president lied in such a way that it killed at least tens of thousands of people, but your ilk are dumb and/or venal enough to vote for him anyway? Do you think it's news to anyone that there are a lot dull-witted shitheads like you in the US who have their heads stuck up their asses? :confused: Like, mate, we know how dumb you are. You don't have to keep reminding us by showing your ass like a clown every single day.Quote:
