Boyst is not worthy of respect. He knows why. -

They didn't take his bathrobe or his slippers. They took documents that would have evidence that he has been breaking the law. The law is being enforced in a just & equitable way. That is a good thing. -

It was both acceptable & wise. The warrant allowed for a raid of all of Cohen's relevant materials because they didn't trust him to turn them over or destroy the evidence. Considering Cohen's long history, it's not at all shocking the judge agreed & signed the warrant. The rules were followed. Attorney-client privilege remains sacrosanct. Only the diehard Trumpers are crying foul, as they do with everything they don't like. It's old. -

Well you're lying right now, for one thing, since I did respond to your request for "collusion evidence." Twice, in fact. Receipts, b*tch. Of course, like you've also done here, you are somehow able to reconcile ignoring 90% of my post or questions to you, then turn around and accuse me of dishonesty. It is incredible to watch you work. -
Americans are not well-represented in their government
LA Grant replied to LA Grant's topic in Politics, Polls, and Pundits
By that logic, would fewer representatives = better representation? A dictator would be 1 representative for the entire population. Would that be preferable? Obviously not, right? When you're evaluating "representation," quality & quantity go hand-in-hand. To your question, districts should be drawn based on population numbers, not demographics. The districts should be equitable and fair. To make it such, the districts should be smaller so you have more of a voice with your Representative. Drawing the districts based on the demographics is how the lines tend to be created now, in present day; hence, gerrymandering. Here is an example. I don't know why you think the version on the right is the better way... other than it keeps "Red" in power. It's not justifiable for any other reason, really. Re: the 17th Amendment. I find it absolutely amazing that the same people who believe clarifying or limiting 2A would be a slippery slope to losing the public's check on government overreach.... ALSO BELIEVE in giving up their own voting power!! It is a breathtaking contradiction. So it was a problem before, but now it isn't? Gerrymandering can only be discussed when the GOP isn't in charge? The GOP holds all the cards right now. If you think Gerrymandering is a problem -- what's preventing Republicans from fixing it? They have the numbers to pass this through, and it would likely receive bi-partisan support. It'd even help Trump rehabilitate his image to some degree, if he were able to leverage his outsider status to enact some legislation that doesn't benefit the two parties. -

I've quite patiently answered virtually every question thrown my way. Even your dumb ones. Even on this page! No acknowledgment, though, of course. You also had me on ignore, I thought? You said that multiple times. Honestly? Who knows what you actually do or don't believe. The only consistent thing about you is your inconsistency. Real question — are you on medication, Rhino? If not, you should look into an SSRI or something because you come across as someone who is depressed & a threat to harm themselves. I have some genuine concern that you're going to really lose your marbles when Mueller's investigation is done and... you don't need to? It's not necessary. Lastly. I don't want to piss in your cheerios anymore than I already have but I guess you should know that "LA Asshat" is a pretty weak slam. I thought "LA Rant" was at least a fairly clever play on words. Why not just stick with that? Here are some better options, free of charge. —"LA Grating" (when you want to accuse me of being long-winded) —"LA Can't" (when you want to accuse me of being dumb) —"LA Groan" (general use) —"LA Garbage" (general use) —"Lying Ass Grant" (when you want to accuse me of lying) There. 5 freebies to help your smear campaign be at least a little more clever. Don't say I never did anything for ya, buddy boy. -

I've lost track of how many conversations Tasker has exited after being asked a direct question, or a prompt to explain himself. Same goes for Tom. Maybe I should go & bump all of those? Or maybe we should just start a thread where it's all about treating these primadonnas with the reverence they clearly desire. "THE TOM & TASKER SHOW" That way, they can finally lay out their full beliefs for us all. We'd have the opportunity to learn at the feet of the modern Socrates and Plato. Throw in Boyst, obviously this generation's Aristotle, and just imagine how much we stand to learn! We can ask them why they hold so many contradictions & fallacies & wacky assumptions about society, government, and human nature. It'd be a quick thread because they won't respond after that. -

He ought to change his avatar, too. Jim Henson's hard work doesn't deserve to be sullied by this lonely, hateful man. My favorite Tom posts are the ones where he rages against society. Like elementary school crossing guards infringing on his right to jaywalk. I'm waiting for him to eventually provide a goofy rant about how someone asked him for the time, and how this is evidence that no one takes personal responsibility anymore!! -

The Committee did find evidence. Your boy Nunes chose not to pursue. https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2018/feb/14/trump-russia-investigation-evidence-collusion-obstruction-adam-schiff The Mueller investigation is ongoing. We don't know everything they know. We do know about the indictments to Manafort, Gates, etc. Try again. -

? Well, I know I can't wait to see it. I suspect it will go down exactly as every prior conversation with you has — you, searching for ways to dismiss the points; me, attempting to get you to engage on the facts and issues at hand; you, scampering away to avoid making any statements of your own. Tom may as well be the mascot for modern American conservative. His tactics are the same: Distract. Attack the messenger. Avoid the issues. Claim the other side is either lying or stupid (depending on which trait serves your argument in the moment). Tom has no ideas of his own, and based on his posting history, appears to only be interested in his own vanity and power. In this case, that vanity & power are related to... a message board. In his mind, he's convinced he's making some really great points. He also thinks he's something of a humorist, or at least that's the form his smugness has taken. "Sniping retards from the balcony." -

Oh, Tasker. Here we go again. Bolded is both a personal attack & you attacking a strawman. The evidence isn't with you here. You said yourself that we shouldn't restrict the Bill of Rights, including the Supreme Court clarifying that 1A does not protect child pornography, though 1A does protect adult porn. Hence, you support pedophiles. Entirely fair, and is a valid argument. You just don't like your own logic being used against you. If you'd like to make a case for conservatives/Republicans not being abject evil, I'm all ears. The evidence isn't with you here either. Here, Tasker is passionately telling you to take his word for it that I'm advocating for ignorance. Disingenuous at best. Once again, the evidence isn't with you (this will be a recurring theme). Tasker supports repealing the 17th Amendment, and does not want the public to directly elect Senators. He went as far as to say he wants less "democracy" in "democratic republic." Tasker uses "Western nation" to make you think he's referring to Europe, but actually his genocide example was for a South African country which holds very little similarities to the US. That is Tasker's example for why America must never limit 2A... despite no examples of stronger gun laws leading to genocide in Europe, Asia, or Australia. The evidence is with him here. Just kidding. It isn't at all. Tasker would like you to believe that criminal investigations can not be trusted in America unless he personally oversees it. Evidence be damned, as is the Tasker way. Let's not forget that Tasker has (repeatedly) predicted Trump will be regarded as a hero equal to George Washington. Every day that possibility becomes even more remote. But Tasker really likes feeling right — so he's willing to bend reality to make it fit. Somehow Tasker is assuming I don't believe in the right to defense, which is (a) a strawman, (b) a personal attack, (c) entirely unconnected to anything I've previously said. IIRC, Tasker also has no issue with the Immigration Court system that does not provide the right to an attorney, forcing children to represent themselves before a judge. He'll tell you that is okay; those damn illegal kids knew what they were getting themselves into. But pointing out that Dershowitz has a track record of making strained arguments for the famous and the guilty? Why, that's just beyond the pale. These all describe Tasker, as demonstrated. Taken that way, I fully agree. Don't indulge him. Make up your own mind. Your voice & your vote matters, even if Tasker doesn't want you to have either. -

Oh sweetie. You're like a figure of Greek myth. The Rhino who loves to connect dots is tragically unable to see connections that most affect him. There's so much circumstantial evidence available to the public for obstruction, fraud, money laundering, and various other crimes, I'd hardly know where to begin. For collusion, you don't want to believe the Steele dossier, you don't want to believe your man Nunes' HIC investigation was a partisan charade despite claims they have evidence (not yet publicly available) worthy of looking further. It's true we don't have a "smoking gun" for collusion (yet) but we also know there are things we don't yet know. If you can't see the billowing smoke at this point, there's no need for me to waste my time on you again. The OJ case had more reasonable doubt. I'm sure you'll take this as "proof" that there "is no evidence" because your mind is closed and you're going to conclude that, no matter what. I still have sympathy for you but I don't care to try to persuade you, as you've made it abundantly clear how willingly you want to be a sucker, and how hard you're willing to work at it. Those are some impressive mental gymnastics. Judges award you 7, 8, 8 and... 7. Looks like they docked some points for not sticking the landing. -

I'm sure you think it does. ? But then again, I'm not the one who's spent the last year or so insisting 2 plus 2 equals 9. ?

?? Fun Fact: This is actually what Rhino says to himself in the mirror every morning. Then he slaps himself repeatedly, NO!! Trump is innocent!! It must be true!! It IS true!!! ...<deep breath> It IS true. <deep breath> It is true.
