    No argument. I’m promoting burgers, because, well, burgers.

    Pshh.  Sounds like something the Goat Meat Lobby would say.

    Ineptly. Sadly.

  2. Folks, visit a meat market that sells ground goat meat. Not only is goat meat a healthier choice than beef or lamb, and setting aside that folks can raise goat on grassland that reclaims desert, goat burgers are tastier than chicken, turkey, or plant based derivative burgers. 
     

    Add a bit of bacon to the mince. And an egg. Experiment with different spices/flavor profile, but don’t skip on salt and pepper.  Grill on high heat five minutes to a side, then let the burgers rest wrapped in foil for ten minutes, or so. You want the meat to leave the grill slightly pink in the center, and for them to lose that pink color during the rest. While I probably like beef rarer than most, goat is not beef. Goat is better when it is served medium.

    Uh, all of us. And for a long time now. Watchu talking 'bout, Willis?

    Gotcha. I was surprised that one Justice would so readily interrupt, and cut off, another Justice. I have little experience with SCOTUS arguments.

    Alito suggests there are not enough legal safeguards in place to protect presidents against malicious prosecution if they don’t have some form of immunity.

    Maybe I missed it in the NYT synopsis, but the rebuttal to the notion that a motivated prosecutor could indict even a presidential ham sandwich with Dijon, is that presidents are afforded abundant legal counsel, and the precedent is that if an empowered government official declares an action legal, then an individual cannot be charged, much less convicted, for that action.

     

    Who knew so many high court justices were DT posters? Holy shit, with their skin crawling they sharply rebuke any mention of the particulars of Trump’s indictments. The claim that what’s important is the abstract, the general effect of their eventual ruling. Hey fuckwads, if the meta doesn’t address this micro, then it is bullshit.

  5. The Senate majority leader, in 2020: (approximately “Convicting on impeachment charges is not necessary. We have a criminal judgement system which is the proper forum for these charges.)” 

     

    Trump’s lawyer, arguing before SCOTUS: “The only remedy for illegal acts committed by POTUS is impeachment. It has been exactly so for over 240 years.”

    Fuck these fucks in their fucking fuckholes.

  6. Hartzell damn well provide receipts on how UT rules were broken. But, even if he can make a credible case rules were broken, he still has demonstrated he isn’t smart enough to do his job. He called the cops, and not the fire department.

    Think of how infuriating this is.  Then think of all the DT posters who don’t want to discuss dotard.  Really weird.  Comical they have the gall to make fun of aggy while supporting THE BIGGEST aggy EVER.  

    That’s not the complete picture. They don’t want anyone talking about tfg, (or Abbott, et al.) Just check out the year’s end thread on the board discussion board. Rex and hammer were pitching the idea imma would see big money, from oodles of snowflakes, flowing to him and Surly’s NIL, if not for the discussions in CR. 
     

    Props to Imma for offering to help those disaffected millionaires set up their own Longhorn NIL deal, so they could support their university without the Surly stank. Funnily enough, they did not take him up on his offer.

    Actually DPS is pretty good at one thing, to be fair.  They help the cartels move product around the state.  And I guess, they have nice looking horses.  

    And folks wonder why we can’t have nice, legal, flower. Cartel, meet Dunn. Y’all have much in common.

    Yep. The STATE decided to make it about a display of force rather than the actual issue being protested. If you watch the video, the students were peacefully marching on a SIDEWALK ON CAMPUS (not blocking a highway or traffic or any other excuse apologists love to give), and the DPS just started barging through the march, shoving kids around and pushing them back. Then came the cops on horses and a fat DPS dude on a motorcycle saying that anyone who doesn't disperse will be arrested. Now, the cops have staked out their ground on the grassy area of Six Pack, periodically expanding their turf by pushing protesters farther and farther back.

     

    Accepting that these are the facts, those who agree with the actions of the government, listen up: you are no patriot, you are no Christian, you are a “wiping” skidmark in humanity’s boxers.

    i was there too, one time Jesse Jackson showed up for a speech in the blazing heat and humidity.  One time the UT President came down from the tower to make a statement to the crowd, one black girl ran up to the podium and ripped his papers.  Damn disrespectful.  The South Africa issue had widespread support from liberals and Black Americans - the Palestine one doesn't have those kind of demographics at all.  The Israeli issue is intractable and they keep getting more and more money every time -- a whopping $17 Billion (26 -9 for poors) just yesterday. It's amazing. 

    Good points. Nevertheless, those protests did change public opinion, meaning it affected groups who were neither liberal nor black. 

    Today, though, the narrative changed. Public focus will not be on the message of the protest, but on the action by the government. I guess Kent State might well be a more appropriate historical analogy. Certainly, if the first hand reports I am privy to are correct, students were peacefully exercising their rights, and then the thugs thugged. 
     

    Imagine Kent State viewed through the social media lens we have today. These students are very savvy in the use of social media. There will be consequences. 
     

    Still, apartheid protests were way more successful than Vietnam protests:

  11. Was thinking about the protests against apartheid, back in the day. I don’t remember police intervention, and those protests were pretty damn influential. Investments were redirected because public awareness became focused on not enabling the racists.

    Effectively protesting requires awareness of how to control the narrative. Once the cops start to thug, the narrative shifts.

  13. The most fascinating country on the planet. Of those I know who’ve visited, they either loved it, or wanted to take the very next flight out of there. 
     

    I love novels set in India, with Salman Rushdie’s “the Moor’s Last Sigh” topping the lot, and Gregory David Roberts’ “Shantaram” right up there.

    “The very problem that we have here is we are weaponizing the justice system to go after former presidents. You back up 2,000 years and this is the kind of thing they would do in the Roman Republic that led to the end of the Roman Republic,” he dramatically proclaimed. “Caesar is out there and says if you do not come back to Rome… and face prosecution, what did he do? He crossed the Rubicon and there’s the end of the Republic.”

    Just foreshadowing the narrative for the end of the Republic. Rs were forced to do this. The excuse Putin’s lap dog uses here on this boatd.

    To be fair, the justice system was never designed to or for protection of the Republic. It should work slow as state removal of liberty is big AF. 

    The people through their congressional representatives were given the ability to impeach, remove, and restrict from office those who would imperil our system of government. There's no such thing as 'beyond a reasonable doubt' in politics.

    However, half the people are broken in their brains. Partisan interests have trumped loyalty to the constitution due to monied gentry, religious zealots, and legally anthropomorphic corporations using their $ and power to pervert the very system of government meant to represent the people. Instead it represents entrenched wealth and ideologues who themselves prop up power hungry sociopaths who use politics as a personal means to enrich themselves. 

    And therefore the only real lever designed to protect us has been perverted to the point where we have to rely of the justice system as a last resort.

    I don’t agree the Justice system wasn’t designed to protect this Republic, which is based on law. Defending the law is a responsibility of the DoJ, and, thus, defends the Republic. Because of delays in starting an investigation into whether tfg engaged n insurrection, not to mention the delay, by SCOTUS, in clarifying immunity (especially compared with the CO ballot decree’s timeline,) whatever protection the 14th Amendment offers the Republic apparently will not be brought to bear.

    State removal of liberty is absolutely big AF. The ability to run for office, is limited, however, and I don’t equate losing that ability to incarceration.

    The trial in Manhattan, one of four criminal cases pending against Mr. Trump and possibly the only one that will go to a jury before the election

    This statement is why folks are questioning the justice system’s ability to defend our Republic from a known and, perhaps existential, threat.

    He is angry because he is losing control of the narrative. Defending himself has nothing to do with presenting facts that support his arguments.

    Attacks are the only defense he understands, in keeping with his narcissism.
