July 2 marks the half-way point of 2025. We are somewhat hesitant to report this, lest we cause a dozen or more DeSantis Judicial Drones to reflect on their year and how many defendants they have sentenced to the max after losing at trial- mindful of course that there is no such thing as a judicial tax for losing at trial.
But putting aside the misplaced aspirations of robe wearers to be known as Maximum, how has your year gone? What are your goals for the second half of 2025?
Rumpole’s Thoughts
Fight The Power
Rebalance - more resistance training, less cardio.
Stop work by 7pm on weekdays, 3pm weekends.
Max of 4 Trulys per week (down from 6)
Finish up those 2023 cases. Time to try those suckers.
Let go of that Assistant AG who objected to a first extension, and then got hammered by the DCA. We keep wanting to send them a copy of the opinion. “When starting off on a journey of revenge, dig two graves.”
Listen to all seven of Bruce Springsteen’s new albums - released as Tracks II The Lost Albums.
And catch Bruce and the E Street In Europe for the third summer in a row. Time is running out. We just missed the shows in Germany and Milan due to a tricky issue in the EDNY.
Bite the bullet, wait in line and get a cheesesteak at Danny and Coop’s- Bradley Cooper’s joint that is causing such a ruckus in the City food scene.
And while we are there, catch a few Mets games and make arrangements for playoff tickets. #LFGM
We start so many books, but finish so few. They just aren’t that good.
Rumpole’s Fourth Of July reading list:
The Admirals. Four men achieved the rank of Admiral of the Fleet- King, Halsey, Leahy, and Nimitz. This is their stories.
The Fate Of The Day. Second installment of Rick Atkinson’s series on the Revolutionary War. Rumor is everyone in DC is reading this,
Final, scary thought. We are now, officially and mathematically closer to 2050 than 2000.
“We’ll have another tequila shot please … actually make it a double.”

Abusive working conditions at the SAO.
Here’s one for the reading list: Charles Goodnight Cattleman and Plainsman. If you’re a McMurtry fan, this is the inspiration for Lonesome Dove and if anything the stories are even more astonishing.
I have come to the conclusion that most ASA’s are insecure.
And more snapper fishing in the Gulfstream.
Maybe grab a Pastrami sandwich at Katz’s Deli?
Finally take that bucket list trip to Latvia?
Is the SAO closed tomorrow? I need to know I have kids
Despite Bradley Cooper's Philadelphia-area (Jenkintown, PA) roots, I would advise adhering to Dave's Rule, which is to never eat a cheese steak made more than 90 miles from Philadelphia.
What about the cheese steak place in Miami causing a ruckus? Pepi’s pizza or something like that ? We keep meaning to try it.
The REN (a venue) food truck 4th July pop up in Edgewater this weekend. Heritage pork hotdogs, Kobe beef / New Zealand lobster tail surf and turf sliders and south side Philly filet steak and cheese hoagies. Vanilla brown butter cookie pies for dessert and yes guys Angela ð will be running the counter again with her amazing ….personality ððĪŠ. Come have a blast from the past!
Diddy acquitted skeet skeet
It's amazing
Good call Rumpole! Two Mann Act charges - 10 year max each - the guidelines are likely to be in the 3.5-5 year range assuming he gets hit for leader/organizer and abuse of trust. Slightly less if the abuse of trust does not come in.
Philadelphia has the best cheese steaks
Are you still drafting a post on these last few SCOTUS opinions? I'm pretty sure Roberts had Barrett write the opinion to get MAGA off her back, especially after that look of disgust she gave the sociopath. I don't think this country is prepared for all the lawlessness that will come from this wanna be autocrat and the little man behind the curtain, Stephen Miller or as Trump calls him, "Weird Stephen"
Second half of year goals same as first half. Get money, workout, go home.
Is REN really still delicious? I thought they lost their Chef when he went to be number 2 at Masa in NY?
Ever have a Japanese oyster? Exceptionally rare. The REN flew in 12 dozen a day during the short June-July harvesting period. They went for ten bucks a piece. Usually served in a rare vodka small batch shooter. Talk about luxury.
