SectionC3

Hoax. You’re getting conspiratorial now. Which, I suppose, is unsurprising given the Q circles in which you hang. Face it. Your main guy got caught with some pretty sensitive stuff for which he now has to answer. Whining about what other people may or may not have possibly done if Jupiter was in line with Venus during a harvest moon in a leap year with a La Niña isn’t going to change anything in that respect. Trump should have Chef Jim Crow get admitted pro hac vice to help him out on this one. Could drop the spatula on the government and show them what’s what. A fine change to apply his reverse Pee Wee Herman defense: “I know I am but what are you?” Should be wild!

Last I checked a passport is comprised of paper and is a document. And no, the lawyer does not need to be present lest he or she interfere with the search. And, on top of that, any prejudice from the temporary seizure of the passports was minimal inasmuch as those documents were promptly returned to Trump. I don’t like to tell people what to do. But in this instance, the issue that would concern me most, and the place to which I would direct my attention, is the loose secrets and threat to national security, rather than whether the temporary seizure of passports deprived Trump of his ability to visit the Glasgow McDonald’s.

Hoax. It may also not be common. Or, better put, it’s not common. Or, even better put, it’s unheard of. What isn’t unheard of is that you have another ridiculous hoaxy position that only the “good people” in QAnon believe.

Hoax.

That this is worse than I thought. Hoax.

Hoax. Hoax. The agents shouldn’t make judgments about the papers to be collected while on site, particularly because the sensitivity of some of the documents in question is such that many, if not all, of those agents lacked clearance to review them. Any overreach could be (and, to my understanding, was) corrected later.

Hoax. You brought it up. Maybe you want to investigate everyone. In fact, maybe you should be investigated, too, just to make sure that all stones are turned. Whatever. I suggest you call your pals in QAnon, get working on that investigation of every living president except for Trump, and let us know where it goes.

I didn’t insult you. You’re in Q, and I suggested skipping a meeting or two. If anything, you should thank me for the free and sound advice.

It is pretty dumb, no doubt about it. “But judge, even though I got caught for speeding, I shouldn’t be punished because everyone else speeds!” Or “even though I shot and killed that guy, other people have shot and killed someone but haven’t been caught and punished, so I shouldn’t be punished, either!” It’s so ridiculous I can’t believe that I wasted the energy and electricity to type this.

This is utterly immaterial. The kind of defense somebody (unsuccessfully) asserts against a speeding charge. If Trump had this stuff (seems pretty clear), and if it was illegal for Trump to have this stuff (seems to be the consensus among those who do this kind of stuff), then Trump has an answer that must be given irrespective of whether Carter, Clinton, Bush, and Obama should have to answer the same question. Hoax. Despite your apparent expertise in phoniness, you’re wrong about this one. The better question is whether there are “matters” that a president cannot alone declassify. The next question, of course, is whether Trump had such “matters” strewn about his floor in the photo that was released today.

Point made. I disagree with this only to the extent that if plea negotiations involved prison, then I’d consider trying to string it out as long as possible given the age and poor health of this client on the theory that he might die before trial. Otherwise, yes, in a situation where we aren’t dealing with a corpulent, elderly, exercise-averse, serial consumer of Big Macs, anyone with even part of a brain would be angling for a plea.

Hoax. You supported the Georgia bill. Probably now support the Georgia law. Denying people standing in line to vote the “privilege” of water. Sick.

I agree on Jonathon. Not surprised somebody took a flier on him. I thought Anderson was more likely to be claimed than Owen. But here we are. The fact that Tenuta and Owen were claimed speaks to the lack of OL depth in this league.

I don’t disagree with the point about equity, either. It gets us all to a difficult conversation about what should and should not be subsidized. I think Deek hits on a good plan for the college issue — apply the subsidy to funding of public college education, rather than to outright forgiveness (I acknowledge that the forgiveness may operate more on interest than in principal). On the flip side, I don’t want to hear “conservative” farmers whining about socialism when they’re the take on their own right. I’m totally with you there.

Hoax. Chef Jim Crow reflects your support of a racist policy. It doesn’t mean that you’re a racist, or that I have characterized you as such. Only you have called yourself a racist. Kind of like acting like an idiot, but not actually being an idiot. Something that’s best to be avoided.

Tell those pig farmers who runQAnon that I said hi. Hoax. You’d probably be better served to skip the next meeting.

I think you’re right. I can tolerate what’s happened so far, although I’m not thrilled by it. Your approach (totally reasonable, by the way) is to apply “subsidy” to interest rates, namely, pay the principal but at a lower rate financed in part or guaranteed by the government. Absolutely a fair way to do it.

That’s right. We’d rather all be like Mississippi. Hoax. Hoax. You called the position that the WH had no input into the search a “whopper.” You have no idea whether that’s true. Hence, it’s a hoax. Happy hoaxing!

Maybe the nuke codes are in a different photo. Like Photo 1. Or 2B. Or 3. Or maybe there are no nuke codes and instead just plenty of top secret information, like perhaps what’s depicted in the photo. Which would make things a lot better. Hoax. What this dope doesn’t realize is that every one of his “Truths” (his term, not mine) later can be used against him. So the idea that the evidence was manufactured? He’s killing it. Distilling the case to whether he had the authority to declassify and, if so and the docs were declassified, whether the declassification is a defense.

Pretending the election they lost was rigged and storming the Capitol on January 6th. Boom. Roasted.

I don’t disagree with you. The whole thing is ridiculous. Go to a state school and work your way up and pay off your own loans, like I did. I have no interest in paying for people who went to Ivy League flunky schools and then realized that they overbought and got stuck and can’t live the life that mommy and daddy gave them and now want a bailout. Get a second job, cut the cable, buy a used phone, whatever. A little frugality goes a long way. I can stomach what Biden did because it will help working people—like with trade school debt—and African Americans who, by and large, don’t get as much family assistance with tuition. But any more than this is a non-starter for me. And, on the price of college, I completely agree with the sentiment that it’s a scam and that lenders frequently get caught holding the bag when dumb kids have been gouged by places like Colgate and the University of Phoenix. But free markets are free markets and, unless those institutions have engaged in a fraud, I don’t believe that the government should cap the cost of higher education. Improve the state systems as needed to make them better and perhaps larger? Sure. But if Colgate can get what Colgate charges, as much as I think it’s a rip off, it should be entitled to do so.

Hoax. I never called you a racist. Also, instead of beating around the bush with your secret, non-socialistic plan, maybe you could tell us what it is. Until then, have fun aligning with the commies.

If by nothing you mean the top secret documents in that photo, then we finally agree on something.

Hoax.

Just wait until they see the pics released this morning. It’s gonna get even better!
