Red states will absolutely put him on the ballot again. Blue states will keep him off the ballot. Supreme Court at best does jack shit and at worst tells blue states to add Trump to the ballot.

They just made a ruling that would force him back on, even if per the Cons. he shouldn't even be eligible to run again (at the very least should never be seated so it would be nonsensical to allow him on the ballot).

What if your job was getting beejers from hotties?

Sounds like you'd be in porn and it's going to be gross when your bowels vacate.

Work friends and friends made from work are 2 separate things.

I would consider everyone at work a work friend, however a lot of them have this large clique where they go out to eat and hang out into the early morning hours at IHOP.

Would I like to be invited? Sure, I enjoy their company and it would be nice to hang with them outside of work. Am I offended? No, I know it's not a personal slight against me, I recognize that they have a stronger bond than they do with me and that's ok.

As long as they don't dislike/dread seeing me at work that's all I really need and all anybody should really need from work friends.

Do women stop enjoying having their neck kissed and suckled when they reach 34 or what?

I started it today. Never seen it before. First episode is pretty good I guess, but I wish the number of the super power population was lower. 80% is kind of ridiculous. Why would the special occupation of super hero even be needed if almost all people are capable of defending themselves? I would have made it like 20% of the world. It should be a minority.

Because a lot of quirks aren't compatible with being a hero, also those heroes do it as a profession because they feel a calling for/to it.

Most likely it just became super annoying for admin/mods in the way Vegy's threads were that ultimately led to his downfall.

I mean that's literally what the Wikipedia vandals did. They left the English, Dutch, Korean, etc. foreign born samurai as samurai and then changed Yasuke to retainer. Meanwhile the Japanese Wikipedia page just lists them all as foreign born Bushi (this is what you actually call what Westerners call samurai in Japanese). They literally changed the one black guy to retainer and are fighting a war over it. A Korean guy mentioned literally once is passing? No problem, he's a samurai. A Dutch dude and an Englishman that literally never fought in any battles? Yep, they're samurai. The black guy who was documented by multiple sources to have been a samurai (Bushi) and was documented to have fought in at least one battle? Oh he's a "retainer". It's so fucking blatant that I can't believe so many people are falling for it.

Man do I love it when you tear into people for their ignorance on Japanese culture and history. Sometimes I'm on the receiving end of that, but hey, that just means I sometimes deserve it.

Biden: The ICC prosecutors application for arrest warrants against Israeli leaders is outrageous. And let me be clear: whatever this prosecutor might imply, there is no equivalence none between Israel and Hamas. We will always stand with Israel against threats to its security.

I just don't get why he won't allow himself to be on the right side of the issue. Somewhere deep down he must know how fucked up this and how fucked up he sounds. I thought he was getting better and it sounds like he's dragging himself backwards because an international court wants to rightfully hold genocidal fascist sociopaths responsible for their war crimes.

That is indeed weird as fuck.

You'd think full nudity would drive people to prefer the locations which serve alcohol.

To be fair, that happens in every case.

And to be more fair, the reasoning usually has some sort of semblance of a coherent argument or rationality. Even trying to accuse the judge of being biased against Trump is more logical than "there's no evidence the business records are false even though the jury has been presented everything and we didn't spend any time trying to explain how the business records are false cause all we did was attack the witnesses and cry about Cohen talking about us on social media".

It basically feels like they're going "the prosecution may have done their job well, however let's throw out the case just cause" as a reason for dismissal, which I imagine is insulting to a judge who takes order in their court seriously and has had his attorneys stall and delay with every tactic imaginable during this time. Judges can get sick of lawyer shenanigans and hold them in contempt.

UnholyMudcrab posted...

I don't think the jury will have any lingering thoughts on the defense's cross of Cohen because they all went to sleep during it

Lol it does sound like it. I don't think it was very effective, still I'm surprised the State didn't even try to bounce back from it.

Thorn posted...

There was a very long sidebar that stretched all of lunch and even kept the jury out for an extra half-hour where the DA was looking to bring in CSPAN footage that showed Trump was with his bodyguard (Schiller) at the time Cohen called him. You'll recall this is the phone call the defense attacked Cohen on and claimed instead of talking to Trump about Stormy he was really talking to Schiller about a prank caller.

This CSPAN footage showed Trump was with Schiller five minutes before the call was made leaving pretty much no doubt Trump was there to take the call. Obviously it doesn't show anything about what they talked about but it removes an avenue of doubt from "Was Trump even there to take the call?"

After strenuously fighting against it being let in, the defense caved when it became clear that if they didn't agree to it here and now it would still come in - just they'd have to get the C-SPAN witness back in court and the DA had already had arranged a flight for him to be back in NY and ready to go 9:30 AM tomorrow.So the DA was able to present it to the jury and did first thing after they were brought back in after lunch.

So I think they did push back on some of the portrayal of Cohen.

Oh my, I didn't know any of this. I appreciate it.

realnifty1 posted...

I'd imagine they already have most of it baked into their closing arguments. They know Cohen is a piece of shit and they knew the Defense was going to go after it. You can't really defend the guy against being a piece of shit, so I'm going to guess closing arguments for the prosecution are going to hammer on the paper trail and that anything else about Cohen isn't particularly relevant here.

Maybe they will include it in closing, however I feel like that would be unnecessary to do so. I'd think it more logical to immediately counter their narrative and use the closing arguments to solely focus on Trump's criminality and how all of the physical evidence points to his culpability. Adding in extra stuff I worry would make it bloated and the more the jury has to remember the less they'll remember.

Dude these people have no fucking shame.

I want every single Trumper lawyer to be disbarred and brought up on possible criminal charges (where applicable) for their deplorable behavior and conduct within the courts. I know defense attorneys will do anything and everything to defend their client, however all of Trump's lawyers seem to openly have contempt for his judges and them trying to conduct a legitimate and sane trial.

Now you're being intentionally disingenuous.

I was specifically talking about this exchange:

LoZguy709 posted...

For the umpteenth fucking time, I never once said Democrats are MORE to blame. Only a complete dumbfuck would think I was trying to argue that.

In response to my post which said:

Kradek posted...

What I saw is you come into a thread talking about how Ron DeSantis and Republicans made it illegal to mention climate change in any government documentation and almost immediately talk about how it's largely the fault of Democrats.

Which was addressing this from what I believe was your second (not edited) post:

LoZguy709 posted...
Anyone that thinks Democrats aren't largely to blame with climate crises due to their own complacency is a fucking ignorant moron.

You realize I've caught you and that's why you're trying to shift it back to when I said you're either a left-winger so far left that you berate Dems more than Repubs, which ironically helps Repubs cause more harm, or a right-winger who is trying to present yourself as anything else and doing a poor job of it. And you have spent multiple posts ITT trying to convince people as to why certain Republicans should be lauded and why there are Dems who deserve more ire, so I wasn't lying there or anything off of what you quoted.

Well, I'd say it's been fun but that'd be a lie. I'll try to refrain from wasting my time in the future.

I don't know enough about Peru to say if this is actually a step backwards or just in line with their normal views.

That's funny because neither did I. Sounds like you're the one with the shitty ass reading comprehension, not I.

I specifically used the same terminology you did because you fucking said it.

I wouldn't want to traumatize my coworkers like that.

LoZguy709 posted...

Work on your reading comprehension. I actually very openly praised Biden, while I used Haley and McConnell examples of how Republicans currently acknowledge the issue but continue to sidestep it because Democrats let them. The Democrats I'm frustrated with are the ones attacking Biden, for all kinds of shit he can't really control and still win the election, even though he's actually got his head where it needs to be (yes, in spite of his age) in terms of what we can do as a country in mitigating as much of the issue as possible.

My biggest takeaway from this is that I would urge people to keep voting Democrat, regardless of whatever distractions come up within the party, because the worst thing you can do is let Republicans win.

It's not an issue of reading comprehension if I just don't read something you said. I haven't read every post you've made in response to other posters because that's between you and them.

What I saw is you come into a thread talking about how Ron DeSantis and Republicans made it illegal to mention climate change in any government documentation and almost immediately talk about how it's largely the fault of Democrats.

That will never be the case when Republicans are actively working towards ruining the planet in the name of fossil fuel interests.

No matter how disappointing and limp-dick Dems may be on the issue here and there, they will never be more at fault than those actively causing harm.

LoZguy709 posted...

Democrats as a whole have lost sight on this being the biggest issue we should tackle right now. This includes moderates that want to support the capitalist status quo and young protestor progressives that act like the President that passed the largest energy bill we've gotten is nothing more than a genocidal dictator. There is a real problem with Democrats that needs addressing because we're letting the real issues continue to fuck the world while infighting over lesser issues runs rampant.

Literally no President has done more for climate change or green initiatives than President Biden. Dems are also frequently talking about it in general, the threat it poses, and that we need solutions. Though I can't speak for the FL party in particular, I imagine as a state party suffering heavily from it I can't imagine they're not discussing it.

It's time to quell that hateboner of yours. You're literally giving praise to Haley and McConnell while saying Dems are doing nothing. You're either so far left that you hate Dems more than Repubs and ironically help Republicans do further damage, or you're a right-winger trying to present yourself as anything else and doing a rather poor job of it.

The prosecution rests. Apparently the defense doesn't expect to take very long at all before they rest.

Man wtf the prosecution is really going to let the defense's representations of Cohen be the last lingering thoughts for the jury on Cohen? Wasn't expecting that.

Who could have predicted that Trump would decide not to testify

Shocker of my lifetime, I tell you

Alright, I may have been wrong about them not calling any witnesses. No idea what they think it could accomplish, I imagine it wouldn't amount to anything beyond "Yeah I knew Cohen, that fucking shitbag".

All they have is character assassination of the prosecution's witnesses. There is no defending Trump's behavior or discounting the physical evidence.

Euripides posted...

So is the prosecution re-directing with Cohen after the defense rests?

I think they're pretty much guaranteed to. They've been conducting themselves well during the trial and it would be shooting themselves in the foot to not do so and just let the Defense's statements be the last lingering thoughts for the jury. Also the fact that the hard end date (for lawyers as they're making closing statements on that day) is next Tuesday to me indicates there's going to be a day or 2 of prosecution redirect.

People know they can track topics, right? I never tracked topics until these ones, however I find it way better than just tagging as when you go to your notification and it says "22 new messages in x thread", it takes you to the first of those 22 posts, meaning you don't have to scroll and hunt through the thread to find where you left off.

I've found it super useful.
