I did try to see how feasible rpg dice and pencil dice would be but it looks unlikely. The products look more like a novelty item instead of something that could be a steady seller. I also question any price quotes since most manufacturers want minimum order quantities of something like 10,000 or 30,000 pencils and I think all have to be the same, no mix and match in the production.<br /><br />I question if Whitman ever got any 'real' price quote and just got some samples for the photos and that was it for he ever planned to do in the project.<br />LouisDesyjrhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10929968689160109417noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1724254580047847936.post-38543459114567833242018-08-12T09:42:31.372-04:002018-08-12T09:42:31.372-04:00@LouisDesyjr ...

So the backers basically received nothing at all that they pledged for. I've not heard of anyone taking over deck dice or pencil dice and since the footage was lost for all the other KS projects ... I don't see how you get to 3. It one (KODT: LAS) as far as I've been researching.<br />Impact!

I think prior to that many assumed that since Congress has to approve an appointment, that Congress should have some 'input' into a firing process, which would be impeachment of the officer.LouisDesyjrhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10929968689160109417noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1724254580047847936.post-26243051818217137802018-08-06T01:03:40.131-04:002018-08-06T01:03:40.131-04:00Per Myers v.

He does need congressional approval to appoint the replacement, though. <br /><br />Of course, if such a case were re-heard today, SCOTUS MIGHT find differently... the obvious test cases would be the Vice President, a Special Prosecutor, or the Cabinet when it was considering invoking the 25th Amendment to declare the President mentally unfit. For obvious reasons, all three scenarios would have a rather better argument for why they should be immune from presidential dismissal than Postmaster Myers apparently did back in 1926... <br />Krennhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05709359305577677184noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1724254580047847936.post-55544949583361452002018-08-03T19:40:05.975-04:002018-08-03T19:40:05.975-04:00Indictment is usually for a crime.

The local District Attorney goes before a grand jury and presents the reasons why they should indict someone, basically charge them with a crime.<br /><br />Impeachment is to remove someone from political office, usually a member of the executive branch. While the President is the highest official in the executive branch, he can't fire 'executive officers', Congress would have to impeach them.

If a miracle happens maybe I can get one of the devices with the lost footage, so that gets us to make three projects fixed to as best they can. That leaves three others that have no one working on or doing anything about at the moment. As time permits, let me take a look to see what would be involved to complete them and then see if any company would be interested in taking them over. Maybe we can get everything 'fixed' that way.<br /><br />Another approach would be to 'fix' the other projects by fulfilling them in small batches while having retail sales also, that way profit on the sales can get the backers items done as time goes on. It would take a while but at least something would be going on and at some point backers could expect their product plus Backers would be getting updates on all six projects.<br />LouisDesyjrhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10929968689160109417noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1724254580047847936.post-20439266137299664372018-08-03T03:06:52.395-04:002018-08-03T03:06:52.395-04:00The IRS better move their ass because #Whitman2020...The IRS better move their ass because #Whitman2020 and I'm not voting for Kayne anymore.
