What do you mean? He hasn’t been held to the law. It’s all been Congressional investigations. They are nowhere near the same.

I can’t believe you’re really that dense. The population of New York County (Manhattan) was 1,694,250 in 2020 per US census. 603,040 voted Democrat. That means 35.6 percent of the people in Manhattan voted Democrat. Does that sink into your skull at all? 86.4 percent of votes cast went Democrat, but more people didn’t vote than did.

Whatever. I don’t care if it hurts his chances, I don’t care if it helps his chances. The law is the law and applies to all.

“Potential jurors are randomly selected from lists of registered voters, holders of driver’s licenses or ID’s issued by the Division of Motor Vehicles, New York State income tax filers, recipients of unemployment insurance or family assistance, and from volunteers” - per nyjuror.gov, Dec. 5, 2022. What’s your point?

Hey, Don, check out my answer to Reagan in the “JoeBama To Cut Medicare Blah Blah Blah”. He couldn’t come back on it.

Trump might not do the books, but he signed the checks.

Okay, I forget. You don’t believe people take oaths seriously, whether poll workers or jury members. 86% of the vote was democrat. Every person living in New York didn’t vote. How many people voted? Maybe 60% of eligible voters. Do you know how many people aren’t even registered? I don’t, but the national average is around 50%, I believe. The jury pool will probably be around 150. They’ll be able to find 12 who don’t know enough about the case or even care about it one way or the other to listen objectively to the evidence.

I don’t have a strategy. A grand jury saw enough evidence to indict him. He will have a trial by a jury of his peers. He will be found either innocent or guilty. That’s how the court system works. I have no idea how it will affect his election chances, and I don’t care. This is a country of laws. The best court system in the world. He’s a citizen just like you and me, and should be so treated.

This time he’ll be judged by a jury of his peers, not a political jury of his sycophants. Big difference.

I don’t see how a successful business, especially of the caliber Trump claims, makes 34 clerical errors all related to the same subject. The felony that will stick even if the federal and state election law crimes don’t is state income tax evasion. You wanna bet on that collapse?

Obviously you didn’t read the indictment. “The Grand Jury of the county of New York, by this indictment, accuses the defendant of the crime of FALSIFYING BUSINESS RECORDS IN THE FIRST DEGREE. Thirty four times.

Agreed. I don’t scream in anybody’s face. And, labeling them deplorables was the stupidest thing not only Hillary, but anyone has ever done politically.

What are you calling the left, Bub? I’m a liberal and I take extreme offense at being referred to as immoral, perverted, hate filled, or a liar. That depiction in itself encapsulates the hate and authoritarianism that the MAGA wing of the Republican Party embraces. Edited

I’ll tell you what I say. Medicare advantage is a ripoff. Insurance was my occupation before I retired. I bought a Medicare supplement policy because it made the most sense economically. Every financial consultant comment I have read says buying the supplement instead of Advantage is the wiser financial move. Just think about it. How many advantage commercials do you see over supplement commercials? I’d guess ten to one. Why would that be? Maybe because the advantage plans are more profitable to the insurance company. I always thought the profit was because of the managed care aspect and the copays. You can’t go to your doctor of choice with advantage. You can’t see a specialist without a referral. With a supplement plan you can go see any doctor anywhere of any specialty as long as they take Medicare. No copays. Besides, they aren’t cutting advantage. They are reducing the number of diagnosis codes that can apply to a medical condition. Why? Because the insurance companies were abusing the coding to collect extra money. If one has high blood pressure because of diabetes, why should the insurance company collect for diabetes and high blood pressure? Treating the blood pressure is part of managing the diabetes. Why the heck anyone would trust anything Breitbart says without verification is beyond me.

So, the headline reads “EPA regulations to cost billions”. The first paragraph says it “could cost billions”. Those are contradictory statements. I read the EPA guidelines and they only talk about helping communities identify and inform if higher concentrations exist. It says nothing about treatment mandates. It talks about identifying source contamination, further research into the hazards, etc. Brad Parscale is a disruptor. American Greatness is a vehicle for spreading disinformation. Ingest all the PFAS you want. Run your water through lead pipes. Above all, spread distrust about our public health services. Good American.

TDS has got nothing on ODS.

I don’t believe any source I see cited on here. You all build your realities on false information and lies. Get it into court, then I’ll weigh in.

I like my steak medium rare. The only thing that offends me is persistent ignorance.

Define it.

If it wasn’t for insults, you wouldn’t have no schtick at all…

I always respected Shep Smith. He’ s a good hard newsperson. All the FOX headed viewers I ever talked to sneered when I told them I thought he was fair and balanced. They didn’t like him. I don’t need a lecture about the difference between a professional journalist and an ex-house painter.

Election denialism for one. January 6 was a peaceful demonstration for two. All three talking heads saying one thing on air and admitting in private they knew it wasn’t true for three. Rupert Murdoch admitting under oath that they knew they were spreading false information for four.

Here’s something from a group you all cherish, veterans, until they disagree with you. Can’t wait to see how you all denigrate them. This ad was produced and sent to the Pentagon.

A model of maturity, you.

Yeah, pretty crazy. I think singularity is much more likely than immortality.
