![]() Privately, Biden aides express some glee at Trump’s predicament - and some wish they were free to pile on in highlighting Trump’s alleged crimes and Republicans’ rush to defend him to the masses. He believes in respecting the independence of the DOJ and protecting the integrity of their processes.” “That’s precisely why we’re not commenting here. “Look, this is a president who respects the rule of law and has said that since day one,” White House principal deputy press secretary Olivia Dalton said Friday. The White House is pushing back against the idea of any political meddling in the prosecution. House Speaker Kevin McCarthy calls the Trump indictment a “grave injustice” and has pledged that House Republicans “will hold this brazen weaponization of power accountable.” Republicans defending Trump have already sought to accuse Biden of directing the prosecution, or alleging a double standard in how the Justice Department brings cases. ![]() Meanwhile, the president’s son, Hunter, faces an ongoing Justice Department probe into his finances and the purchase of a firearm while under the influence of illegal substances. The circumstances were markedly different: Unlike Trump, Biden voluntarily returned the documents to the federal government. “I’m not going to speak to him.”įurther complicating matters for Biden is that he faces his own special counsel probe into classified documents discovered at his home and former office. “I have not spoken to him at all,” he told reporters in Rocky Mount. Later that evening, the White House said, the president learned of the 37 felony counts filed against Trump by a Miami grand jury through news coverage of Trump’s announcement that he’d been summoned to surrender on Tuesday.Īsked Friday whether he had spoken to Attorney General Merrick Garland about the case, Biden replied curtly. “I have never once - not one single time -suggested to the Justice Department what they should do or not do, relative to bringing a charge or not bringing a charge,” Biden said Thursday. Biden, who made restoring the independence of the Justice Department a central campaign promise in 2020, now aims to reinforce that principle as both a matter of politics and policy.

![]() doing" is almost like some 12 year old kid trying to "act" in a Youtube video that nobody will ever watch.ġ0) The story is convoluted and redundant, and there is so much error and inconsistency that it's beyond excusing. His lines themselves are so poorly written and expositional that I was laughing whenever he was on screen. ![]() His appearance is comical and non-threatening. A bad-guy jock being cast but being extremely and noticeably short for the role is a great example.Ĩ) Vecna is a terrible villain. Many of the actors have this feeling of just being "friends" with other actors and only getting their jobs through nepotism. You can see the directors telling them what to do, so that they can pass off this inoffensive, millennial-fantasy of a sterile, boring, unwatchable hodgepodge of banal, pedantic, preachy filler. Lucas' sister is supposed to be 11, which is hilarious cause she looks like she's 15 or 16.Ħ) The tone of the show takes itself way too seriously for what it is half the time they have this cheesy wannabe 80's aesthetic, the other half they try to be this melodramatic horror show, and it just doesn't work.ħ) The actors look bored and you can see them acting. Eddie Munson looks at least 30, and can't pass as a high schooler. The former child actors aren't photogenic, and are uncomfortable to look at, for most of them. The scenes in Russia where there are 40-50 year old actors trying to pull off witty banter is incredibly awkward and poorly done. It's like a plug for their ridiculous and cheesy fetish for 80's music and fashion, but just comes off as insecure and preachy.ĥ) The actors are way too old to be acting cute. It feels like a repetition of previous storylines, but this time somehow less threatening, with the actors being forced to act like it's the end of the world.Ĥ) It reads like a self-insertion for some millennial writers who want to pretend they grew up in the 80's. The entire thing is a mile wide (if that's even possible) and half an inch deep.Ģ) The writing is poor, unfunny, uncreative, hackneyed, borrowed from other medium before it, and shoehorned in to create dimension when there really is none.ģ) The entire premise of the season was a waste of time it felt like it had been done before not only on earlier seasons, but other media, hundreds of times before. ![]() What little dialogue there is is just exposition or shoe-horned in emotional BS to create a depth that isn't there. No other word can describe it.ġ) It's 95% filler, with some action pieces here and there essentially just waiting for the meaningless, empty, repetitive, and corny dialogue to end so that a CGI fight can happen. It's unwatchable, I only watched it with the hopes that it would pick up, but from start to finish, it's terrible. ![]() Of the total, about 45% is from the domestic market, with the remaining 55% from exports. Taokaenoi Food & Marketing is set to grow its sales by 25% to over 4 billion baht this year. "The partnership with a recognised brand like Glico may help Tao Kae Noi to become a global snack brand one day," Mr Itthipat said.īoth expect sales of Pretz Tao Kae Noi nori seaweed to reach 32 million baht in the first three months of market distribution. Glico products produced here are exported to eight countries in Asean while Tao Kae Noi products are available in over 40 countries. Initially the partnership is for the domestic market, but the possibility to reach overseas exists in the long term. Under the cooperation, Thai Glico handles the distribution of Pretz Tao Kae Noi nori seaweed in modern trade channels while Tao Kae Noi is in charge of sales via traditional retail shops and at its own Tao Kae Noi Land shops nationwide. ![]() "In addition to a new snack product the partnership allows us to learn about the corporate culture of an international brand," Mr Itthipat said. Kritsada Nurakkhe, deputy general manager for domestic sales at Thai Glico Co, the local subsidiary of the Japanese biscuit maker, said it marks the first time in 40 years Glico in Thailand partnered with another local snack brand. Last year Glico controlled a 20% market share in Thailand's 11-billion-baht biscuit market while Tao Kae Noi commanded a 61% share in the seaweed snack market worth 3 billion baht. To stimulate consumer spending this year, the two collaborated to create Pretz Tao Kae Noi nori seaweed, which launched yesterday.
