  1. The point being, we've had some L/DS that could get to anything, it seemed, but the ball went pretty wild and made an already shaky passing team shakier.
  2. The thing that makes Emma elite, though, is not just the scrambling. She gets the ball up and in bounds and even in the vicinity of the setter even after the wildest scramble.
  3. Yeah, Trump wouldn't have relevant evidence concerning lying to or obstructing Congress. On the motion to dismiss for selective/vindictive prosecution, he would, but broadly speaking, live testimony isn't taken on motions to dismiss, and depositions are uncommon in criminal cases at any stage. Someone once mentioned that selective/vindictive prosecution can be submitted to a jury, though.
  4. Fair points all. Just, going underage is so gross. Maybe it's "barely legal" type shit, which is also cringey as hell to me as a middle aged dude with zero power and a moral compass.
  5. Generally speaking, there's a notion in the law that "apex" people, whether CEOs, government officials, or presidents, are not to be bothered with testimony at trials, or even depositions, if there is another way to get their evidence. So, what Trump told Bondi, Halligan, etc. can be obtained from them. And that's before you get to presidential immunity type shit, although the concepts are related.
  6. Highly unlikely.
  7. Yall that are into this really ought to follow Vladeck. https://www.stevevladeck.com/ One of the first academic casualties of the regime.
  8. Police that moustache!
  9. Maybe so, maybe so.
  10. In the name of Jesus, or dollars, amen.
  11. I dunno, that's why I asked. I'm not particularly a fan of Bill Gates, for example, but I have difficulty believing he's a ped. Also, I admire certain aspects of Bill Clinton while simultaneously admitting that he's a pathological horndog. Still trouble with the ped thing, though.
  12. Note that I didn't say benign without qualification. Just more benign than outright supporters of the regime. Same effect either way, though.
  13. It's pretty clear Epstein was able to "attract" many rich and influential people into his orbit. Do we really believe all of them were pedos? Or is it more nuanced than that?
  14. Well, there is a more benign desperate desire to normalize this shit so that it isn't that dire for the republic.
  15. She has a long history of indigent defense and, she was appointed by a Utah commission and will be paid for this, if not particularly handsomely. I'm trying to remember if I remember her, regardless, she is a hero and a real patriot that has served this country without election or appointment or any of the particular accoutrement thereof.
  16. Well, we've known about QI for 25 years now.
  17. That's just not true until relatively recently in these days of hyperpartisanship. And certainly not in terms of criminal prosecution. Trump richly deserved his and would have been convicted but for his election. Watergate was a very bipartisan deal. Clinton was a fishing expedition by Republicans that finally landed on something that stuck. Trump's impeachments were pretty well-deserved, if somewhat performative given R majorities.
  18. Well until they assert qualified immunity and the Supreme Court rules that there was not a SCOTUS case making it explicitly unconstitutional to prosecute without probable cause, so it's all OK.
  19. The fuck is that and what is it supposed to mean? The other thing that is bizarre here is MAGA shouldn't have anything against Comey, really. This is pure narcissist grudge, as was the shitcanning of his daughter.
  20. https://www.lawfaremedia.org/article/the-situation--brief-thoughts-on-the-indictment-of-james-comey
  21. I was actually 7-8, but my mom watched it obsessively. We were nominally an R family, but both sets of grandparents were FDR diehards. No one defended Nixon. Shit, I don't think even Ford's pardon was much of a partisan issue, it was mostly debated on the merits with a cynical nod to the fact that a D probably wouldn't have done it. For those who didn't or don't know, Watergate was pretty much non-stop covered daily by all three networks, from 9-5, at least, every weekday. And I think my Mom watched every single minute of it.
  22. It does, however, appear that stories like these are having an effect on those who bought the crimmigrant narrative.
  23. And, before the obstruction of justice part, Nixon's basic crime was knowledge of a relatively petty burglary. Something Trumpists would proclaim as trumped up charges. But it was the tawdriness of the basic crime that made it so disgusting. And then the cover-up, that displayed Nixon's basic corruption.
  24. He was here briefly. From his post history, southern Kansas, so right about that. But he was a USCe fan, which is what I remembered. https://www.surlyhorns.com/board/profile/1034-rumblefishstix/ And he acted like a southern redneck, but that's not exclusive to the south.
  25. Just like you won't find hardly any Nixon defenders today, there weren't many in 1973. There sure as fuck weren't a bunch of Republicans screaming wEaPoNizAtion while drumming up charges against Jimmy Carter.
