I thought that was windows 7.
Stolen from elsewhere.
Acquittal, but if that question has to be asked, then maybe Ellis is less biased than I thought.
Sounds good to me.
No, I had supposed acquittal, too, but then you got me all confused by bringing up the idea of Ellis making reversible errors (which when reversed, can only undo a conviction).
The jury asked the judge if they could have a birthday cake to celebrate the birthday of one of the jurors. Juries that have birthday parties are happy juries. And happy juries aren’t worried that one or two of their members are going to screw things up and hang the deliberations. Happy juries are good for the prosecution.
I keep a Nazi flag on hand for just such an eventuality. I also have a USSR hammer and sickle to notify the world that my toilet is plugged, and a Union Jack to show that I am out of tea.
Right wingers are spreading the lie that Trump has donated his entire 2018 salary to Veterans’ cemeteries. Snopes shows that it isn’t any truer now than it was at this time last year.
Did President Donald Trump Donate His Entire $400,000 Salary to Rebuild Military Cemeteries? | Snopes.com?
Oh, of course—head smack for me. (Hey! smiley! :smack: )
So now the narrative is that the QAnon conspiracy plot is a prank by leftists to make right wingers look stupid. I didn’t know right wingers needed any help to look stupid.
Congresswoman Marsha Blackburn: “Women don’t want equal pay.”
I bet she gets equal pay for being a member of Congress.
The Attorney General of New Jersey, Gurbir Grewal, is a Sikh. Two New York radio commentators couldn’t remember his name, so they called him “the guy with the turban”, and then said, “Listen, and if that offends you then don’t wear the turban and maybe I’ll remember your name.”
A Michigan Republican state legislator attempted to bring an unregistered, loaded gun onto a plane. The county prosecutor who refused to prosecute him is a campaign donor.
Well, Trump has been doing an excellent job of showing that the law is more of a “suggestion”, so why not do this? And more importantly, is there anyone who can hold this guy responsible?
Also posted in the Mueller investigation thread:
Fox host asks how Trump is supposed to talk to Mueller if he can’t lie
How indeed could he escape the dastardly “perjury trap” Mueller has set for him?
Hey now, that’s just crazy talk.
Our good friend Newt is also saying it would be “unwise” for the President to “walk into a perjury trap” (see the last 10-15 seconds of this clip). Why is it that even Republicans are assuming Trump can’t avoid lying under oath?
Yeah, “perjury trap”! Yeah, when you go to court and put your hand on the Bible and swear to tell the truth, that’s just a goddammed perjury trap! Not fair (especially to people who have something to hide). I say abolish the court system and all judges! Yeah!
"Why is it that even Republicans are assuming Trump can’t avoid lying under oath? "
Gotta admit that’s one thing they’ve got straight.
Because he can’t and they know he can’t. Anyone with more than two working brain cells knew Trump had absolutely no relationship with the truth long before he entered politics. But that’s fine, because you know, the other side lies too. So, if both sides contain liars, the right absolutely has to have the very best liar there is. None of this lying only 40% of the time. Anything less than 98% deliberate misstatements or outright lies is just phoning it in. MAGA Og Damn It!
I must say, you really to respect the modern right’s ability to twist words and rebrand. It’s not “forcing the President to tell the fucking truth for once”, it’s a “perjury trap” - and suddenly an objectively good thing sounds like calculating evil. Goebbels would be in awe.
I think the implication of a “perjury trap” is an effort to get the defendant to make some minor error and to then try to expand that error into a perjury.
Trump does not make minor errors. Nobody makes bigger and better errors than Trump.
And they know how it’s done, too.
