No, but you doubted any accuser could convince you (to the required threshold). So, would you likewise doubt yourself?

You don’t think you would recall being raped, years later? 51% or so sure?

Yes, but that intro album just came out of nowhere.

Is that all?

And how would you vet the PA school, if the only difference were the presence of the Satan Club or no?

My wants for office holders are simple: nice folks, proceed. Mean folks, fuck off. It has worked my whole life for personal relationships, and it maps pretty neatly on the existing 2 party system. I don’t care how smart, skilled, or talented the mean candidate is, I can not have those skills put in the service of meanness. When we are rid of meanness we can return to worshiping looks, brains, and shit.

Sadly, no SIL or DIL is short of a mountain of imperfections. I imagine what I must look like to them. But all kinds of people find a way to make a partnership work.

Asking for a friend..

My satire meter is broken. The point seems to be that is not something that happened to them, personally. It is them. You are referring to a population. Like as in a statistic. An old prof once said a statistic never caused anything.

When the JW’s and LDS’s take up this line, you will know we have reached super saturation levels.

Great series of posts, IMHO. Our melting pot had some damn nasty ingredients. Our record, judged fairly, is horrific. But we, however we group the we, are not unique in this regard, in a long history view. A near universal propensity at the group level. Culturally evolved. But that doesn’t excuse this propensity, doesn’t excuse it being acted out in todays morality. As for technology, it allows one side to be more ruthless. It ups the scale of ruthlessness. Think the gadget from Los Alamos. Still, humans make the call. We today have the benefit of history to guide us through our worst inclinations. That we, apparently, are too few.

Face timing with my son in Houston yesterday. A gunshot came through their back door and lodged in the teen aged son’s bedroom wall, with him in bed, about midnight. They are extremely freaked out. Hard to be productive in their jobs while constantly worrying about this shit.

Why not both? At the time my Mom was still in Austin and I came to know that drive well. Trees slowly appear out of the ground headed east, and slowly sink back into the ground headed west.

Well, JJ, the US Attorney that worked with me left me no doubt as to the energies he dedicated to white collar crime. In the case I referenced, it took essentially just one person to testify that the perps had said what they said. It was verbal, but then translated into receipts. But the essence of the direct and cross were all about what was said. In the tfg case, 100 million persons heard what he said, over and over and over. A dead person could make the connection. This is no tirade against more informed legal views. Just a nattering against injustice.

It is known, Safe. The habit of arguing against absurd wrongs runs fairly deep hereabouts.

Many bleats: send me money, for my pursuit of the stolen election. Then comes the many emails endorsed by tfg saying same. Ditto. Money comes. Everyone, tfg included, knew it was a lie. I, for one, don’t accept for a nano second that he did not falsely ask for that money, by mail. 10 years.

Gator - that’s pretty close, how could we know? NAIU - just a bit less than 2 years, kids were pre school, not so bad for that short time. Learned to like Lubbock.

She likely meant a person who considers themselves decent, polite, that kind of thing. You surely pass for that person on the whole. It is jarring for many to see that word used, as you well know the reason why.

Way back when, 1980, we were on our honeymoon touring the various Hawaiian islands, and finished off at Waikiki. Flush with ourselves, we bought some “art”. Fast forward 10 years and the wife sees this gallery on 60 minutes, about faking the authenticity of some art pieces. We contact the US Attorney’s office there, and in a few months we were having an all expense paid trip to Honolulu so I could be a Big Witness in this case. I simply testified what they told us, to get us to spend. Those turned out to be lies, and our sales agent and the Big Boss whose hand we shook got 10 years. Mail fraud, as we had kept the paperwork. The headline ran “A New Mexico man…”, which pissed me off, but we were living in Hobbs at the time. I only bring up this embarrassing and charming tale to question just why Trumps statements to get money, and the lie behind item, don’t fit this model? Surely the lie is his, his principally, that he compelled his minions to use.

1:48 was as far as I could make it. This is what we are up against.

Having thresholds for “ok to murder” is still fairly shitty. Hope your day improves.

Friend named Zelensky?

Don’t care because one is not the target demo. True hero of the republic. Brave, brave Sir Robin.

Could it be he would spend time in the hooch for contempt, then is found not liable for defamation? A bit of justice. Why not both?

You’re nattering.
