  1. Maybe Wills shares Mae West’s view of wrongdoing who once opined, Between the two evils, I always choose the one I haven’t tried before..” The misery of the human condition is the knowledge both of the wrong and its inevitability. So, nothing on the flogging itself?
  2. I get the some of you want me to condemn Willis’ poor choices and bad behavior. No objective person familiar with the facts of this case would argue that she helped herself or her cause by sleeping with her co-worker. Since there is a better than even chance she won’t be removed, it’s clear to me this evidentiary hearing uncovered nothing relevant to the allegations deceptive pecuniary. The point and purpose was to force Willis to answer questions about where she slept with Wade, why she kept money in her house, how she spent it, what kind of Vodka she prefers and why Wade might not have been able to get it up in 2020. When the answers and evidence did not comport with the prosecutor’s narrative, they sought to have Willis’ [lawyer] father’s testimony stricken from the record. It was a public flogging that makes Clarence Thomas’ high tech lynching look like a picnic
  3. Since when? Again, some of you must not court house or office very much.
  4. Chuckle. Unresponsive. The public flogging makes about as much sense as Nikki Haley being grilled about her infidelity because she’s prosecuting a political case against Donald Trump.
  5. Clearly you misconstrued my intentions. I started this thread to discuss the disgraceful public flogging of Willis that appears to be unprecedented and unnecessary.
  6. Can you quote me saying she did nothing wrong?
  7. One lawyer called this spectacle “the most Atlanta shit ever.”
  8. Yeah, that would be nice, especially when those of us on the sidelines can compare our best with someone else’s worst.
  9. Since nothing testified to yesterday violates any ethical or legal proscription, the judge should rule accordingly.
  10. We all do things we know we shouldn’t do. What will prove to be a massive unforced error is compelling Wills to explain in court why she screwed the help. You obviously don’t court house much. Should she choose to run, she win re-election in a landslide. People are pissed about this clown show deflection.
  11. Anybody having problems with how Willis defended herself yesterday, can Kavanaugh right off: https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/politics-news/lawyers-ethics-experts-defend-fani-willis-trump-seeks-removal-georgia-rcna137640 A group of attorneys and ethics experts has filed a motion defending Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis as former President Donald Trump urges the court to remove her from his Georgia election interference case. In the court filing, 17 signers argued that the allegations that Willis benefited financially from a personal relationship with special prosecutor Nathan Wade do not constitute grounds for removal. "We have no independent knowledge whether there was a personal relationship at the time of hiring or whether overall spending in the personal relationship was roughly evenly balanced," the motion in defense of Willis reads. "But even if all Defendants’ allegations are true, they do not mandate disqualification here. Indeed, they do not even come close." “Paying for gifts for a romantic partner out of one’s income is normal in the context of a marriage or other romantic relationship,” the filing says. “Neither the relationship, nor the alleged financial benefit to DA Willis justifies disqualification under Georgia law.”h
  12. even it’s related to a Trump trial that hasn’t started yet? The New Yorker seems to think the optics are working against her. After hearing her testimony on the stand I disagree: https://nymag.com/intelligencer/article/fulton-da-fani-willis-nathan-wade-optics-battle-over-trump-case.html
  13. Trump won’t allow them to ignore his directive to impeach Joe and prosecute Hunter, despite there being no evidence. They have less free agency than the Branch Davidians.
  14. That’s what many thinks it means.
  15. In the words of Coach Royal, potential means you haven’t done it yet. So, yes. Beard has the potential to be great. Let’s see. And the Tech program has been pretty good for awhile now.
  16. Chuckle. Beard did better than most, but he was part of a pretty good program in Lubbock: https://x.com/JonRothstein/status/1757254326504816834?s=20
  17. It appears we waste time lamenting these shootings since we’ve made a choice to live or die with them. Maybe we should just focus on keeping the numbers low.
  18. The dead shooter at Lakewood had a “lengthy criminal history.” Explains how, without Texas’ liberal gun laws, she may have not been able to possess guns.
  19. Agreed. That’s the irony.
  20. Liberal gun laws in Texas makes it easy for mentally ill people to possess guns.
  21. Chuckle, the common good is so 1960s
  22. To listen to Supreme Court Justices wring their hands about a state being allowed to potentially decide an election when the Supreme Court allowed a state to decide an election in Bush v. Gore is mind blowing.
