I don't see that as a problem. Of course Trumps most fervent supporters believe something quite different — they believe everything Trump tells them is true, everything anyone says about Trump that's negative must be a lie in an attempt to undermine Trump, and for some, they seem to believe...

I don't see JD Vance at this point as one who could win a general election, and he is risking a lot being Trump's running mate. Should Trump win and his presidency be as chaotic or more than his first term, that likely won't give much of a boost to Vance beyond the MAGA diehards who would vote...

I agree with that 100%. Differences in views are not a bad thing if the exchange of views is done, as you say, civilly. It can be a very good thing if people aren't so rigid in their thinking that they aren't open to change or new ideas when presented with something they hadn't considered...

Technically LP doesn't make the charging decision, so LP can't drop the charges. It can tell the prosecutor that it's satisfied with the restitution and doesn't want you prosecuted, but ultimately it's the prosecutor's decision. Is it possible that LP will agree to ask the prosecutor to drop it...

Yeah, well, good luck with that if he pursues it. I don't see that as having a high rate of success. I'll reserve judgment on Trumps guilt or until the court cases have played out. Even if judged not guilty, however, doesn't mean that what Trump did was legal or right. Judge Cannon's decision...

You may file the motion, but it's not likely to be granted because you aren't the right party to file those motions. Your daughter and your wife would be the ones that would need to bring motions to dismiss, assuming that there is some basis for the dismissal.

The problem is that terms and conditions of the trust and the state law that applies to that trust (which might not be the state in which the trust creator lives) impact how much freedom the trustee has to distribute the assets while the trust is in effect. The nature of the assets in the trust...

I get that idea from having actually done it myself. Sure, a lot of places will stick firm on the price, but some will give a bit if you ask. I bought a computer a number of years ago from a chain store and thought the price was too high, so I offered the store a price a few hundred bucks lower...

You can negotiate with some humans. Others stand firm on their pricing no matter what. Some online seller sites do have ways where the buyer may make an offer, though most don't. Most retail stores set prices and don't give their employees the power to negotiate prices, but some do. In some...

There is a good reason for that. Google and Apple both charge up to 30% of the sale price for sales made through apps on their platform. That cost is then passed on to the customer. It's the same principle of airlines charging a bit more for flights booked through a travel agent in which the...

The article is about how large companies set their prices. Some will negotiate, and some won't. Pricing models which charge different prices based on the differences in demand among different customers (what I call micro pricing) have been around for a long time. What's different today is that...

As long as the discrimination is not based on criteria that is illegal under the law (e.g. race, sex, etc) it is legal. I also disagree with the author's opinion that negotiating different prices for the same service is necessarily immoral. The details of what occurred matter. When we go to a...

There are several ways to set up a government that is democratic. Direct democracy is one of them and those only tend to work well with small groups because having every citizen vote on every issue is cumbersome and inefficient. A democratic republic is still a democracy. It's just that the...

America is democratic constitutional republic. The people elect the leaders of the nation and the states, with each person getting an equal vote. In that regard it is indeed a democracy. What it isn't is a direct democracy in which the people vote on every issue themselves instead of having...

Unfortunately the link army judge gave you is now dead. Apparently whomever maintains the DOR page he got that from doesn't bother to check periodically to see that links are updated. Having once lived in PA and dealt with the DOR in the past, I can't say I'm all that surprised by that. The...

In order to have a case for misrepresentation or fraud, the information given to had to be material (that is, had you known it was owned a trust you'd not have rented it) and you have to have suffered some monetary loss because of the mispresentation. Few renters really care whether the unit...

I agree an estate planning lawyer should be consulted. It may be that some other estate plan, like a trust or pay on death beneficiary designations would be better for passing the assets than a will, and the attorney should do a much better job of writing the will, trust, etc than that will...

This is a good example of why people shouldn't rely on internet sites or computer programs that generate wills based on cookie cutter paragraphs. That paragraph is, IMO, poorly written. If you have to read it more than once to understand it the author should rewrite it to make it more clear...

You may want to see a local landlord/tenant attorney about this. If you've not paid the deposit yet, you may be in a good position to offer the landlord only the two months rent and point out the state law that limits the amount of security deposits. If the landlord refuses to do that, you...

That is, in part, because the TOD concept is pretty new to property law compared to trust law, which has been around for centuries. Trusts are still very popular because there are a lot of different things that may be done through a trust and a trust can hold any kind of property, not just real...
