    Can we stop this. Treason is treason. Nothing else is treason. It might be "treasonous" or better yet "traitorous," but it's not treason. Calling things treason that aren't treason is something Donald Trump would do. Treason against the United States, shall consist only in levying war against them, or in adhering to their enemies, giving them aid and comfort.

    Well, you see, Trump is a shit talking pussy . . . . (but only some of the time).

    Well, it runs counter to the notion that right wing people who are willing to do something more than a drive-by own the libs post get shouted down. Although that does happen. People are trying to tease out the thinking that leads to Trump voting.

    And, an insight on prosecutors. They like to prosecute cases they can win and they like high-profile wins. Politics by and large go out the window when they can bring and win a high-profile case, whether the profile is that of the defendant or that of the crime. And, also, as indicated above, prosecutors tend to get pretty self-righteous about the crimes they prosecute. Whatever crime they're prosecuting at the moment, you can be relatively certain that the prosecutor believes it is a grave offense against humanity and the Gods are on his or her side.

    Trump defends himself by saying "lock her up" and calling for legal prosecution of his enemies and critics. No one else does that. We have had 45 other Presidents in almost 240 years of history and, never in that recorded history has a President or candidate publicly called for the prosecution of his enemies. Definitely Presidential qualities.

    Also, since you KNOW this, how do you know it? Hint, the answer to this question requires evidence. Not opinion. Not speculation. Not some dipshit from Fox, Newsmax, RSBN, or some YouTube channel that told you, but something that constitutes evidence, that tends to prove that a fact is more or less likely.

    Law enforcement authorities have prosecuted people that committed crimes. That is a fact. After the due process that everyone gets in this country, for better or worse, and then some, they have been convicted. And that means, by most American standards, that they are guilty of having committed crimes. Those are facts. Their motives in successfully prosecuting these criminals are unknowable. So, their motives are then a matter of belief or opinion. But, again, they are guilty of crimes by the standard American measure. So, what difference does it make? And, as a second matter, if there was pressure from Joe Biden or George Soros or whatever Democratic boogeyman you choose applied to the prosecutors that actually obtained the convictions, you'd think there would be some EVIDENCE of that. Just like there is EVIDENCE that Trump tried to get Sessions and Barr to prosecute his enemies, and they apparently declined to do so.

    What's incorrect about it? Do you not see that he is a petty, vengeful little man who can't take a personal slight?

    By that standard, a shitload of Britons, including actors, are actually Indian.

    Another thing, they have recently discovered or shown or however they do it that cats have much better long-term memories than previously believed, especially when it comes to self-preservation issues. I think most cat people have observed that someone who doesn't know how to approach or handle a cat often gets the cold shoulder in comparison with those who do. So, during the cat's socialization, it's probably important to keep your young? son from mishandling him or her and involve him in feeding and care. Not sure I'd go so far as to say that cats will only love you if you are the one that feeds them, but they do make that positive association.

    Not to eat, dammit.

    Longhaired cats tend to be more hypoallergenic than short-haired, as your experience with the Maine coon exemplifies. I don't think sex matters, but socialization does. If you get a kitten as opposed to a more mature cat they're more likely to bond closely with their humans.

    Yes they continue to pore over the video and other evidence to arrest and charge others. They still haven't proven that MTG was the pipe bomber.
  14. TwiceHorn
    Well, someone jailed Trump allies Manafort and Stone, or at least secured their convictions. Oddly enough, though, Trump sat atop the Justice Department at that time. Maybe, just maybe, the President and his administration aren't actually responsible for prosecution decisions, at least heretofore.
  15. TwiceHorn
    You realize that there are hours and hours of video that are publicly available? That many of the more than 1000 indicted and hundreds that have been convicted so far were caught on video committing the crimes with which they were charged? Where on earth would you get the idea that someone has the tapes and evidence and that it would somehow counter what anyone can plainly see constitutes trespassing in a restricted area, vandalism, and assault, among other crimes? Where do you get your "news"?
  16. TwiceHorn
    Trump has yet to and may not go to jail, because, yeah it depends on the crime. Because the justice system is mostly operating pretty normally.

    Coyotes plural, usually. A decent sized house cat is usually a match for a solo coyote, a big mean one more than a match. But coyotes like most dogs are pack hunters.

    People that emigrated from oppressive regimes, especially communist ones, seem to strongly prefer dictatorship to anything that might in some way be considered socialist.

    Neglecting all the shit he's talked on judges that ruled against him in the last 20 years or so.

    Jaws had its world premiere at Medallion Theater in Dallas, which was near where I grew up. Between that and Jaws tshirts, which were all the rage, I saw it pretty young. It was scary, particularly that opening scene and when Quint got munched. I suppose I have seen it so many times since and focused on other things (doll's eyes, bigger boat, etc.) that its impact is blunted.

    Funny story on this one. When I was in middle/high school I had a 13" TV on my desk, which was actually a card table, so not that small. Nevertheless, the TV was a bit close. I was doing my homework one night and watching American Werewolf (pretty sure I had seen it before) and one of those scenes of Griffin Dunne in his various states of decomposition came on. I happened to look up and saw pretty up close and nearly barfed. My gorge rose as the literary types might say. Nothing on screen has come that close to making me barf before or since.

    That's like, your opinion, man. Cats rule.
  23. TwiceHorn
    Cats don't really need companions, they're solo. But, I suspect that once the kitten grows out of being a little terrorist, they'll be friends. We had a similar dynamic with the youngest and oldest and they're pretty good buds now. Although the younger one still occasionally terrorizes the old guy.

    And what about oil companies? Won't anyone consider their profits?

    Not to mention all the evidence of self-interest. He doesn't give a frog's fat ass about America. He's in it for him.
