  1. Right, so just a waste of oxygen.
  2. Y'all lawyers don't even believe in the underlying principles of your own profession. Ethics is a moving target based on who you are advocating for and little else. That is all quite clear. The projection of all that taints this board given the disproportionate representation here.
  3. LOL. I thought you were better than this. You give me an amazon link after stating that he was proven beyond a shadow of a doubt for murder for hire. Like 5 seconds googling shows that to be nonsense. Appears that his sentencing was influenced by the charges you reference, which were not demonstrated "beyond a shadow of a doubt" in court, which is what some people got particularly worked up about. The disconnect between the sentencing and the actual charges. Without going down the rabbit hole on this one unless you are able to actually engage substantively, I will say my position would be that a full and unconditional pardon is too broad, and that a commutation of the current sentence to time served seems appropriate. If someone wants to take up the murder for hire charges and put him back in prison after actually proving those charges in a fair court trial, so be it. Try to be less of reactionary clown moving forward sidis.
  4. Like I said, I don't really have a strong basis for an opinion on that one, but it was framed initially as "beyond a shadow of a doubt". If you want to provide some links that provide the evidence without a lot of editorializing, I would like to read them.
  5. Can you please unpack what this is supposed to mean?
  6. I am not sure that I have a fully formulated opinion, other than this was a commitment that Trump made during the campaign, was not clear would be fulfilled, and he fulfilled it today. But I am interested in unpacking it. I am not very knowledgeable about his case. Can you please elaborate on "have been proven beyond a shadow of a doubt to have hired people to commit murder". I haven't dug into this one, but my understanding is that he was not ever charged nor tried on that? Is that not accurate?
  7. Ross Ulbricht has reportedly been pardoned.
  8. It's amazing and mystifying that we have put our space program capabilities into the hands of a Nazi.
  9. Did a little mixed grill gyro rotisserie the other day, lamb and chicken. This is relatively easy and very yummy. Sub out the lamb with pork butt and this is a very low cost meal that will put leftovers back in the fridge for a few more passes.
  10. He has TS clearance without compartmented sensitive information and special access program permissions. There was a write up about this in WSJ a while back. Musk’s current top-secret clearance gives him access to some national-security secrets, but he lacks special authorizations that the government requires of most SpaceX employees who work on classified programs, according to the people familiar with the matter. Those employees—more than 400—have permissions for what is known as “sensitive compartmented information,” the government’s term for need-to-know secrets about how intelligence is collected and where it comes from, one of the people said. A smaller number of SpaceX employees have access to secrets the government deems even more sensitive called special access programs.
  11. Also horrible politically motivated pardons. Do you see anybody here defending them? Or is this just whataboutism? Now imagine how much worse those pardons would be if they were also pre-emptive, broad, and post dated to cover actions back to 2014.
  12. I was prob on a camel or american spirit kick at the time.
  13. And if they tried us all for misplaced commas we, would all hang.
  14. One of my great regrets in life is that we didn't stop at a convenience store to get some real smokes. I think about it often. Nothing against the dearly departed, and they burnt fine. But you know.
  15. Simpler times.
  16. The background image was the one where he tried to tweet out a constitutional amendment. But tell me more about getting laughed out of the courts. Shit didnt event make it past the archivist with the thick glasses.
  17. This US-oriented political nonsense likely to not even gonna register, unless the focus is the social media oriented devolution of an otherwise functioning social society. But the long run history will be written by the Chinese, so not likely even that gets a full run.
  18. He dissembled and lied under oath in those hearings.
  19. LOL. Political death spiral is real and has been trademarked since at least 2016.
  20. See how this works out for you and everyone else.
  21. And not even the most disgusting of the last 24 hours. TOTAL CLOWNS.
