You two have been talking past each other and playing ‘gotcha’ for awhile. It’s been fun to watch. You are —obviously—anti anything Trump, and BD is your opposite. I’m not a fan of many politicians—period. But, I do like what Rand Paul & Dan Crenshaw have to say more than most, and Kennedy from Louisiana always gives me a chuckle.

Wish I’d seen this before my last post above. But, it does follow my earlier thoughts I posted about the judges involved having records sealed. Approval would have to be given to unseal. Sounds more and more like Trump over promised and under delivered as has been the case a lot, and Bondi spoke without thinking.

I don’t know everything many of y’all do about this case because it wasn’t a primary issue affecting how our government operates, it didn’t affect national security, the economy, or immigration. But, Trump has continuously used The Deep State narrative to his advantage. This may be another time where he did, spoke in his normal overly bravado ‘tough guy’ talk, and it’s come back to bite him in the butt. Bondi—in an effort to suck up & caught up in the moment—also went overboard on her narrative. Not sure all these supposed names were ever collected except for specific cases like Prince Andrew. They apparently weren’t needed for the cases against Epstein and Maxwell. Should this be pursued? I guess so. IF the minors involved want to press any charges against the estate of Epstein. Just my thoughts.

Double post

Agree that the Biden Administration would’ve released info. Wasn’t aware Trump banned him at all. Haven’t kept up. Like I said, it reminds me of the release of the Kennedy files, or Geraldo opening Capone’s safe.

So, if it won’t be released, what’s all your railing about? If someone visited the island, that’s not a crime. It would only be a crime if they knowingly concealed knowledge of a crime being committed, or if they participated. You could question their judgement about associations. But—to me—rich folks are weird by default.

If they are found guilty of a crime, I agree. Are any crimes being pursued? My understanding is DOJ said ‘no.’ Something had to be there to convict Epstein in the first place. Maybe not. Maybe there was other evidence. But, specific names, dates, etc. would have to have been included I would think. The presiding judge blocked the release of info for some reason. Wouldn’t that judge have some input on the release?

They could get them to testify via telecommunications. Judges do it all the time. It’s become the norm. Last big jury I was on was a trial about multiple murders between Cripps & Bloods. Telecommunications were used for safety reasons.

Wrong again. I’m not denying anything. I’m not even a Trump voter. Just confused on where this is all supposed to go.

Have the young ladies/boys (for all I know) come forward to press charges? That would seem to be the appropriate thing to do, right? I really don’t know all the details of this specific issue. It just seems like a OJ Simpson type deal with slimier activities involved. Without making small of the activities, it seems like a National Enquirer type story.

Gotti had other issues.

Then, they need better lawyers. You’re reaching. Please post the details on the 3 people. I’d be interested to read.

Conspiracy is a ’willful’ crime. Just being somewhere isn’t conspiracy.

False.

This hasn’t been a big issue on my mind. So, I’m not ‘up-to-speed’ on everything.

So, someone is mentioned in the files. What then? Again…What are your expectations?

Why are you so invested in this? Do you actually think anything would come of it if the files were released? Exactly what are your expectations?

Don’t know. Don’t care. But, he’d have every right to sue. I wouldn’t doubt a motion to censor as well. For whatever good that does… While this is all nasty business, it has nothing to do with running the country.

He’ll be suing her over that one.

Beyoncé, Rihanna, Megan Thee Stallion, Ciara, Cardi B… Pretty much any black, female artist with a hip hop/pop music video. Video ho’s/soft porn stars by your definition. Man! I could do this all day.

No idea. Never cared. But, according to your definition, most of the younger women I see out and about in the summertime are soft porn models--not to mention any at the beach, pool, or boating. I don't go to clubs any more, but--when I did--the women definitely fit the definition. I guess the women's intimates section at any store should be age/gender restricted because the entire section is soft porn? Have you ever put on make-up and dressed up sexy for a date? Welcome to soft porn by your own definition. Your whole point would have been to arouse, tease, and entice. Unless you've walked around in a burka all day every day of your life, you've probably been a soft porn model at least once. To say otherwise would be a bald-faced lie. Be careful of the judgements you make. As someone who has posted religious thoughts, remember that your Maker created you. It was also intended that you mate. The human body isn't a dirty subject. Only Americans who've never really been anywhere else think that. American women are the most judgmental people I've ever met. Especially about other women.

Welp… There went the Sistine Chapel… Was there in ‘81. Amazing place & I’m not even Catholic. Shame all those nudes are painted on the ceiling. In a church at that. The horror!

I take it you’re never going to Europe, Brazil, Australia, or many Caribbean or Pacific islands. America’s ideas on nudity compared to most of the rest of the world always tickle me.

Chili Cook-Off San Antonio, Texas Judge #3 was an inexperienced Chili taster named Frank, who was visiting from Springfield , IL . Frank: 'Recently, I was honored to be selected as a judge at a chili cook-off. The original person called in sick at the last moment and I happened to be standing there at the judge's table, asking for directions to the Coors Light truck, when the call came in. I was assured by the other two judges (Native Texans) that the chili wouldn't be all that spicy; and, besides, they told me I could have free beer during the tasting, so I accepted and became Judge 3.' Here are the scorecard notes from the event: CHILI # 1 - MIKE'S MANIAC MONSTER CHILI Judge # 1 -- A little too heavy on the tomato. Amusing kick. Judge # 2 -- Nice, smooth tomato flavor. Very mild. Judge # 3 (Frank) -- Holy crap, what the hell is this stuff? You could remove dried paint from your driveway. Took me two beers to put the flames out. I hope that's the worst one. These Texans are crazy. CHILI # 2 - AUSTIN 'S AFTERBURNER CHILI Judge # 1 -- Smoky, with a hint of pork. Slight jalapeno tang. Judge # 2 -- Exciting BBQ flavor, needs more peppers to be taken seriously. Judge # 3 -- Keep this out of the reach of children. I'm not sure what I'm supposed to taste besides pain. I had to wave off two people who wanted to give me the Heimlich maneuver. They had to rush in more beer when they saw the look on my face. CHILI # 3 - FRED'S FAMOUS BURN DOWN THE BARN CHILI Judge # 1 -- Excellent firehouse chili. Great kick. Judge # 2 -- A bit salty, good use of peppers. Judge # 3 -- Call the EPA. I've located a uranium spill. My nose feels like I have been snorting Drano. Everyone knows the routine by now. Get me more beer before I ignite. Barmaid pounded me on the back, now my backbone is in the front part of my chest. I'm getting sh*t-faced from all of the beer. CHILI # 4 - BUBBA'S BLACK MAGIC Judge # 1 -- Black bean chili with almost no spice. Disappointing. Judge # 2 -- Hint of lime in the black beans. Good side dish for fish or other mild foods, not much of a chili. Judge # 3 -- I felt something scraping across my tongue, but was unable to taste it. Is it possible to burn out taste buds? Rosie, the beer maid, was standing behind me with fresh refills. This 300 lb. woman is starting to look HOT ... just like this nuclear waste I'm eating! Is chili an aphrodisiac? CHILI # 5 - LISA'S LEGAL LIP REMOVER Judge # 1 -- Meaty, strong chili. Cayenne peppers freshly ground, adding considerable kick. Very impressive. Judge # 2 -- Chili using shredded beef, could use more tomato. Must admit the cayenne peppers make a strong statement. Judge # 3 -- My ears are ringing, sweat is pouring off my forehead and I can no longer focus my eyes. I farted, and four people behind me needed paramedics. The contestant seemed offended when I told her that her chili had given me brain damage. Rosie saved my tongue from bleeding by pouring beer directly on it from the pitcher. I wonder if I'm burning my lips off. It really ticks me off that the other judges asked me to stop screaming. Screw them. CHILI # 6 - VERA'S VERY VEGETARIAN VARIETY Judge # 1 -- Thin yet bold vegetarian variety chili. Good balance of spices and peppers. Judge # 2 -- The best yet. Aggressive use of peppers, onions, garlic. Superb. Judge # 3 -- My intestines are now a straight pipe filled with gaseous, sulfuric flames. I crapped on myself when I farted, and I'm worried it will eat through the chair. No one seems inclined to stand behind me except that Rosie. Can't feel my lips anymore. I need to wipe my butt with a snow cone. CHILI # 7 - SUSAN'S SCREAMING SENSATION CHILI Judge # 1 -- A mediocre chili with too much reliance on canned peppers. Judge # 2 -- Ho hum, tastes as if the chef literally threw in a can of chili peppers at the last moment. **I should take note that I am worried about judge number 3. He appears to be in a bit of distress as he is cursing uncontrollably. Judge # 3 -- You could put a grenade in my mouth, pull the pin, and I wouldn't feel a thing. I've lost sight in one eye, and the world sounds like it is made of rushing water. My shirt is covered with chili, which slid unnoticed out of my mouth. My pants are full of lava to match my shirt. At least during the autopsy, they'll know what killed me. I've decided to stop breathing. It's too painful. Screw it; I'm not getting any oxygen anyway. If I need air, I'll just suck it in through the 4-inch hole in my stomach. CHILI # 8 - BIG TOM'S TOENAIL CURLING CHILI Judge # 1 -- The perfect ending, this is a nice blend chili. Not too bold but spicy enough to declare its existence. Judge # 2 -- This final entry is a good, balanced chili. Neither mild nor hot. Sorry to see that most of it was lost when Judge #3 farted, passed out, fell over and pulled the chili pot down on top of himself. Not sure if he's going to make it. Poor feller, wonder how he'd have reacted to really hot chili? Judge # 3 - No Report
