  1. Very nice except Trump should be wearing the apron instead of Putin
  2. And the Devin Nunes Ukraine stuff needs to play out a little. Very few Americans have even heard about that shit yet. And Regarding Rudy, or We Need to Talk about Rudy...whichever movie you prefer. Is there not probable cause at this point that he's committed a number of crimes? Indictments, please. Sorry I've had too much coffee today
  3. What is it exactly that "independents" or "the public" heard that turned them further away from impeachment during the hearings?? It's horseshit, and the Dems need to start aggressively controlling the messaging NOW to get the undisputed bottom line of the corruption that's been exposed front and center to the public. Get the ruling on Monday about WH absolute immunity and take things further to get Pompeo, Bolton, Mulvaney .... it doesn't have to drag on for months, but it's too soon to draw up the report and impeachment articles when those guys almost certainly have explosive testimony -- or have to take the Fifth -- or commit perjury.
  4. Wait, didn't Roberts write the majority opinion in rolling back the Voting Rights Act on the basis that state governments aren't really engaging in racist practices anymore? And joined the majority in saying the fed courts have no role in stopping gerrymandering? Just as his pre-SCOTUS writings show, he's an elitist, arrogant, pro-inequality hack. I don't trust him to reliably take any position other than the old white dude-system-preserving one.
  5. We don't need those pesky checks and balances anyway.. What good are they doing us right now? Let's blow it up and get this republic over with.
  6. I can try to understand, that if I were raised in a strictly religious viewpoint and raised not to question, I'd submit myself to all these strictures that go against my instincts for freedom and self-agency. But, if the religious figure goes directly against the teachings of Jesus? And even putting aside the substance of what he says, this is what blows my mind: these naive (possibly desperate?) people also have to be TERRIBLE judges of character. Perhaps willfully so? I mean, Osteen is one grade above Robert Fucking Tilton. If you can watch him for more than a couple of minutes and not see he's obviously a slick, oily, unctuous charlatan, how do you tie your shoes in the morning?? I could see through this dickbag by age 12. Are his followers all around boomer age?
  7. https://twitter.com/DevinCojones/status/1197919422595424256?s=20 I hope he doesn't get transferred to the Metropolitan Correctional Facility's Epstein Suite.
  8. https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/us/insurgents-lobbied-trump-for-war-crimes-pardons-with-little-pentagon-involvement-officials-say/ar-BBX8uZj Excerpt: taking advice from Fox news "personality" Pete Hegseth rather than Dep't of Defense officials, to own the libs: Senior defense officials, who learned about Trump’s plan shortly before Hegseth’s announcement, were convinced that Trump was being fed bad information. Two officials said one document that reached the Oval Office stated that the Afghans killed in Lorance’s case were “gunning” their motorcycle at the soldiers — a point often repeated by conservative pundits. Other soldiers testified at Lorance’s trial that the men killed were a couple hundred yards away and not on a motorcycle when the Americans opened fire. During the meeting, Trump shared the points Hegseth was making, according to one current and one former administration official. The defense officials tried to correct what they saw as misinformation, the officials said.
  9. What polls are credibly showing that support for impeachment is going down? That would be shocking to me -- are they watching this?? This is stunning, compelling stuff with the evidence all on one side. The Dems largely look competent and professional, and the R's are a disgraceful, embarrassing clown show. So what gives?
  10. What do you mean? I don't deserve any of this shit.
  11. Fuck this. What the fuck good is a censure, anyway? That would literally be letting him get away with treason and all manner of abuse of power, and encouraging more.
  12. Trump and my mother-in-law, both arriving in my city at once. FML
  13. THIS. Why they didn't hammer this point immediately I don't know. What a totally normal thing to say out of the blue, no suspicious timing or anything.
  14. So if R's are going to make statements about Hunter Biden rather than ask substantive questions, why do the D's not get it in the record that the corrupt prosecutor Joe Biden got removed was actually NOT pursuing an active investigation into Burisma?
  15. Anyone at Stout in NYC by any chance? Lol I’m alone in the big city for 2 days and nursing my beer here
  16. I'm not 100% up to speed on the particular posture of this case. But to get post-conviction DNA testing (unless both parties agree to it), there must be a showing made that the result could be exculpatory. So there's the rub. And there certainly is a legal vehicle for determining credibility of these new witnesses -- it happens on habeas review all the time, which is the stage they're at. You go back to the district court and hold a live hearing, and the judge makes findings and conclusions. The claim has to be back-doored in by way of an ineffective assistance of counsel or prosecutorial misconduct claim, for example. Or if an actual innocence claim is successful in arguing that there is new evidence that, more likely than not, would have resulted in a different outcome at trial. If he's successful at that hurdle on habeas review and witnesses are deemed credible, then the court recommends that relief is granted in the form of a new trial (or the State declines to go forward with another trial). Then the CCA accepts or rejects the rec.
  17. For clarity's sake, I was referring to the Reed supporters/celeb outcry, many of whom make this exact leap.
  18. By the way, has there been any official statement or response from Pete Sessions in all this? Anyone trying to haul him in? He seems a rather important (corrupt) player.
  19. So what's left to do? Test the belt for low-probative touch DNA? If Fennell's is on there...well they lived together in a small space, were lovers. If Reed's is on there, well we were having a consensual affair, so.... If random's are on there, well it's been handled by many throughout the investigation and is certainly contaminated. Test it anyway, I guess. And get the johnny-come-lately witnesses who claim Stacy was seeing Rodney under OATH in court to testify, for a credibility determination.
  20. Honestly, the media is irresponsible as hell and people don't bother to research for themselves. Specifically, when this case is discussed on air anywhere, they never fail to mention Jimmy Fennell and his later conviction for sexually assaulting someone in his custody. Yet, Reed's more horrific acts closely tracking the M.O. in this case is almost invariably never mentioned. I honestly believe many of those protesting simply don't know. And for those who do,, if you're going to say one's other bad acts shouldn't amount to guilt in a separate case, fine, but then stating with certainty that Fennell did it is just dumb. Oh and I firmly believe Fennell is a piece of crap, but he's also a very lucky, convenient red herring for Reed and his supporters.....the evidence does not at all add up for him to have possibly done this.
  21. I'm a "young" 40-something, lol. Thanks for all the tips. I'm going to a show (some singer/rapper) at Brooklyn Steel on Sunday night. Other than that, I'm open....would like not to freeze my Texan ass off, but am interested in stuff like the botanical gardens and possibly Coney Island/aquarium. Maybe a museum visit but not really looking to spend a half day doing that. Will likely stay in the borough. Anyone been to any of the Brooklyn comedy clubs like Eastside or anything?
  22. 2 nights but the bulk of 3 days, leaving 11/16. Recs?? I think I'm staying in Williamsburg but not even sure of that yet. TIA.
  23. any aggy is always "too aggy," and if it doesn't concern you, I'd say you can fuck off.
