If you were 4 and now you are 44 then you might be an integer variable. If sister is also a variable, we don't know when she was allocated. She might also be an integer constant in which case she's arguably immortal.

If your parents had another daughter in the meantime (or if your older brother became female), "my sister" would still be a valid reference, to a completely different person.

D can also happen if the 00:45 job was before the 00:15 job, which thanks to the magic of daylight savings, is also possible

I have a taxi company. On one night, one of my drivers did two jobs, one dispatched at 00:15, the other at 00:45, and he clocked off at 02:15. How long was he working for?

A) 1 hour

B) 2 hours

C) 3 hours

D) 2 hours 30 minutes

E) any of the above

I think it's more that he got a bit too excited about the way the far right can get away with absolutely anything. The media will make excuses for you, the fan base will love it, the more outrageous it is the more it makes libs cry. The democrats will impotently voice objections, the Overton window will move as required, and you will have gotten away with it. I think he wanted to be the star of that whole circus.

True that. I guess the question of whether it was classified information is kind of moot now that any semblance of the rule of law has been abandoned.

For any other administration, this would be a catastrophe. For the Trump administration, it's Thursday.

They already stated it was not classified information. They want to go after the journalist but also need to cover their own asses. Can't have it both ways

At all levels too. I mean, why the 24 hours a day fluorescent lights so you don't know night from day? How does that help? Hell, how does it even make more money? Even with senior management, the cruelty is the point.

Seems to be a common feature of US politics that words lose their meanings and become distorted into vague aspersions about categories of people, which in practice take on the meaning of "the enemy" or at least "the other", words degraded so that their main purpose is to divide.
