I heard that Spielberg actually lost an important section of the original script for a time - a part that really linked some of the scenes together. He had to hire a private detective company to do a massive search for it. They named themselves “Raiders of the Lost Story Arc.”

I want to know why anyone has taken TFG’s word for it that he’s going to be arrested Tuesday. He’s presented no evidence for this (as usual) and no one official has confirmed it. We all know he lies and likes to be center stage. Why is this getting hours and hours of punditry when the most you can really do is say, “TFG says he’ll be arrested Tuesday, there is no confirmation of this and he’s probably lying again. Moving on …”

Me, too.

If he’s talking, he’s lying and grifting. And that’s _all_ that can be taken from what he says.

There’s a good chance he’s lying, but I wonder what the purpose of this lie would be. Maybe to pretend like he intimidated the DA into NOT charging him?

He _could_ be arrested two weeks from now.

My theory would be something similar. He says Tuesday, knowing full well it won’t be that soon. But when that day comes and goes uneventfully he can say they didn’t arrest him because they know he’s innocent. And then when he does get arrested, he can claim it is because of the Deep State/Bidens/etc. acting to overturn the total exoneration he was granted on Tuesday.

Well, either that or maybe someone from the DA’s office told his lawyer Trump is a see you next Tuesday and he took it literally.

That comes across as a poor exchange.

If I was I woman, and I am not, I would prefer not to have an anti-vaxer as the sperm donor. As far as I know, no one has ever done any qualitative research into whether this particular stupidity is formed via nature vs nurture.

The ladies who may be excited by this idea will not be so happy after their child dies from measles, mumps, rubella, polio or a whole bunch of easily prevented diseases… by vaccines.

Or, if it is indeed genetic… profoundly stupid.

For what it’s worth, the donor sperm shouldn’t much matter for immunity in the abstract, so that should not have much effect on whether or not the child catches preventable disease.

But anybody stupid enough to buy anti-vax sperm (because of some truly magical thinking about how those vax cooties will somehow propagate) is also stupid enough not to get their children immunized at all. Then, the issue won’t necessarily be outright deaths, which still aren’t especially likely at least in the US, but lifelong health issues stemming from any disease they do catch as well as the unnecessary spread of disease to other people, especially other children.

As for intelligence, it’s not 100% but there is strong evidence of a considerable genetic component. Can’t do much about that part of it but the nurture end of it is still very important. Unfortunately again, anybody stupid enough to buy anti-vax sperm is unlikely to raise children to respect the scientific process.

I wonder how many customers there will be who would eschew the benefit of modern medicine in developing a vaccine, but still use donated sperm for conception?
