Somebody testified that they lost 3 million but they forgave him. Frankly, I just don't believe it. Have these people been vetted?

Britbox has brought back Ripping Yarns! Not the best series frankly, but it was written by and stars Michael Palin and Terry Jones so fans should give it a try and the episode "The Testing of Eric Olthwaite" is one of my favorite bits of TV from the 70's. If like me you are vaguely dissatisfied with...

The speech is from Sept, 2018. I remembered the line about corn and soybeans. There isn't a speech by him that isn't worth listening to over and over.

Just paging through TPM and saw McAleenan Out After Just Six Months As Acting DHS According to the New York Times, McAleenan had made his displeasure with the administration’s tone on immigration known, angering Trump’s allies. By the same token, he took fire from Democrats for barring immigration f...

Shep Smith has quit at Fox News. Does this count?

Brown testified he heard loud voices on the morning of the shooting, Sept. 6, 2018, as though it was “two people meeting each other by surprise,” but he couldn’t understand what they were saying.

Giving is an act. Dead people cannot act. Therefore people who die and leave their estate to charities are not being generous and are not 'giving' anything. I don't think we'll be using that in a Leaving Your Legacy publication. As arayder mentioned, people may have wealth but not a current capacit...

It's like a weird version of the trolley problem. Would you throw a lever and kill five people? How about if you get a hotel?

"Glitch" on Netflix. People (six or seven) rise from their graves in the fictional town of Yoorana, Victoria, Australia. The people come from all parts of Yoorana's history which gives scope for a lot of the history of Australia to poke in. The first episode name drops Thornton Wilder's "The Bridge ...

Cripes! I hope Curious George wasn't injured! (OK and forget the pyramids, I want to see this golf course!)

He can't fire Perry. He wasn't even the poll!

Hold on to the news cycle! New revelations every couple of days. Drip drip drip.

Constant pressure. I'm hoping Trump just unravels the rest of the way.

Well, that's a fine example of NYT reporting. Hunter wasn't "employed", he was on the board (along with a few Rs). And the case wasn't being investigated. Biden wanted it investigated, the prosecutor wasn't doing squat. And I love the use of "former Vice President Joseph R. Biden Jr." as if you migh...

We've had the "Wings of Freedom" tour at our airport. It's weird watching the old bombers take off. Noisy as anything. I have taken the tour, but I wouldn't like to be given a ride in one.

In most of the articles I've skimmed, there's been a paragraph or standalone sentence that says essentially, "There's no evidence of wrongdoing by the Bidens." At least that's being pointed out. Just the phrase "There's no evidence of wrongdoing by X" is enough to set off Trumpers. It's too weak. T...

https://www.politico.com/news/2019/09/27/trump-ukraine-kurt-volker-rudy-giuliani-007212 On Thursday, Giuliani publicly shared what he said were text messages from Volker. One of the messages, dated July 19, shows Volker telling Giuliani he “really enjoyed breakfast this morning” before adding: “As d...

Martin Geddes is sitting in London. He's got his own problems with Brexit; maybe that's why he's pissy. Anyway he just sounds like he's trying to move Qanon into a new phase of delusional.

John Adams called the drafting of the Constitution—the bedrock of the rule of law for our Nation—"the greatest single effort of national deliberation that the world has ever seen." :roll: Two years later he said something to the effect that someone of Trump's description would tear through the Cons...

Its okay to criticize her positions if you disagree with them, but treating her any different for being ''just a kid'' or comments about her mental health are out of bounds for me.

1 Timothy 4:12

(very rare Bible cite from a heathen)

No it is not right to criticize her.

My point was the wall is the thin end of the wedge. The intent is to militarize the whole border,a la Great Wall of China or Hadrian's wall. Forts every mile or so.

I'm not so worried about the environmental impact of the wall itself, but are there any famous walls that worked that didn't have guards stationed along them? And guards mean roads and barracks and I don't know what else. This seems just the beginning of Stephen Miller's dream.

She's Swedish, from Sweden...…..

And those Swedish seem nice, but I've been watching a lot of Girl With a Dragon Tattoo stuff, and really, you do not want to make them angry.

Oddly enough, I seem to remember them trying this, several times, they called them the CRUSADEs, ALL of them ended badly, in blood and fire, and lots of yelling and pain and death. Let's just say I have a hard time picturing a Franciscan doing that. It got the medieval alt-right out of France, so t...

I voted "other" as this should've happened early this year.

This is how I feel too, but I thought the reason to delay was that it will go nowhere in the Senate? Lots of grandstanding and cries of "Poor Donald". What has changed?
