    The Most Significant Case of Judicial Misconduct is About to Explode

    I wouldn't call it "the most significant case of judicial misconduct". The only thing that makes this case at all newsworthy is that she's pursuing a case against Trump. It would otherwise be a local matter that might be of some interest to people in that area.I consider her relationship issue...

    Boss gave away my job while I was on vacation.

    I specified a well run business. :D Of course, a poorly run business might well hire all kinds of incompetent people, based on knowing some other incompetent person in the business or some other irrelevant factor. A lot of utilities fall into that latter category because they have no...

    Boss gave away my job while I was on vacation.

    It's a mix of both. If you don't at least know the minimum knowledge needed for the job then in most well run businesses you wouldn't be hired even if a close buddy worked there in a position of influence. The exception is when the buddy is the owner of the business. Sometimes they'll hire a...

    Do Capital Gains follow fund shares in an in-kind transfer?

    Yep, that's exactly the problem: forecasting out to the end of the year is difficult at best. You're welcome. I'm glad there was something useful in my somewhat rambling posts on the subject.

    Personal Bankruptcy U.S. trustee hired a trial lawyer

    I've no problem with people reporting known fraud. That's not being a "snitch" but rather protecting those who were victims of it or who might be victims of it in the future. Minding your business is a good principle in many instances, but I draw the line at serious crime. And fraud is in that...

    Do Capital Gains follow fund shares in an in-kind transfer?

    Correct. In order for the exchange of a qualified retirement asset to qualify as a RMD distribution, the exchange would have to result in you receiving some non retirement plan asset. i.e. not a roll over distribution. It's got to be a taxable distribution, not something in which the tax is...

    Unpaid medical bill sent to collection

    Because at some time the holder of those assets will likely need to cash in those assets, and once they liquidate the retirement investment and park it in a bank account or buy some non exempt asset, it would be fair game for the creditor to attach. Of course actually doing that is not simple...

    Premises Liability Child falling on personal property with negligent mother watching

    That depends on exactly what aspects of the property existed at the time that the owner knew or should have known may be a danger to others and whether the owner took reasonble steps to avoid that danger or sufficiently warn others of the danger. It's possible that both the owner and the mother...

    Personal Bankruptcy U.S. trustee hired a trial lawyer

    It's impossible to know. Court filings are only a small part of what goes on in litigation. They are important parts of the litigation, of course, but there is a lot to do behind the scenes to prepare each filing and prepare for each hearing or trial. At this stage the lawyer will be gathering...

    Do Capital Gains follow fund shares in an in-kind transfer?

    And the more gain you'll have per share sold, too. The two go together. After all, one share worth $100 and ten shares that are each worth $10 will both get you $100 when you sell them (ignoring any fees). Thus selling when high you do preserve more shares, but also you get hit with more capital...

    Not to the cats scheming to take over the world!

    Darwin Award Candidate

    Then maybe a former girlfriend's cat who liked to sleep on my face was field testing possible ways to do that. :D

    Darwin Award Candidate

    When I was much younger I didn't understand why older folks made those kinds of comments. Today, I do. There are some things that teens in particular do today that just make no sense. If I was a teen it'd likely make total sense, but I'm not so I'm left mystified.

    Darwin Award Candidate

    They are cute. But as everyone knows, when cats get together in groups like that they are discussing their secret plans to take over the world. Or what's going to be dinner tonight. It can go either way.

    Darwin Award Candidate

    The part of the video with the dancing white cat was pretty funny. The main video of the woman feeding a clowder of cats (of cats, only lion groups are called prides) as though she was feeding chickens was a bit disturbing. Everyone around me is telling me I need to get a cat for company. But...

    Warrants?

    Courts will typically seal search warrants in situations in which the investigation is still active so as not to interfere with the investigation. Obviously, they wouldn't want the suspects to know of the warrant as that may cut off the tapped lines as a source of information for the cops and...

    Does the First Amendment apply to social media moderation? The Supreme Court soon decides.

    If the Supreme Court follows its long standing precedent on the First Amendment Texas and other states with similar laws will be out of luck. It is not the legislature's place to decide what content is hosted on a privately owned forum.

    Here is my demand letter to Amazon, but also I want to sue for their policy.

    Any time you are buying from an unknown third party seller on Amazon you take the risk that the goods may be counterfeit, not as describle, nonfunctional, etc. Amazon does not screen each seller on its market place for their business practices. If the seller gets a lot of complaints, it'll boot...

    Being sued in oregon

    If you are representing yourself, take a morning or afternoon some day before your hearing to sit in the courtroom to see how the cases are handled and familiarize yourself with the courtroom. That should help you get a feel for what to do and relieve some anxiety about what the experience will...

    Warrants?

    A judge would be a fool to issue warrants that don't meet the legal requirements for it, and and experienced cop should know better to submit a false request for one because those are all records of the court and the warrant would likely also be a record of the ISP and cell provider too. After...
