So Biden, famous for adapting the tragic story of his son’s death to meet circumstances—and who traded an arms dealer for a lady who broke the laws of another country—is down with playing politics on hostages both alive and dead?
I understand we disagree on many issues, and I’ve stayed out of this for the most part, but wtf is this all about? Broker the ceasefire. Squeeze Israel to return some prisoners who will ultimately rejoin the fight. But why on earth would he proposed this ghoulish plan? The only way this makes sense is in the scenario where the bodies are so defiled that he wants Israel out of Gaza to lessen the likelihood of response.
Why would Israel accept it?

You've gotta get out more.
I'm sure the usual alt media sources are saying this.
I've seen the people who know what they're talking about say that like every other criminal conviction, getting an appeals court to overturn is a difficult slog. There are definitely appealable issues here, but there's nothing even resembling a slam dunk error by the judge.
Of course, you’re an attorney rendering an opinion, like those that say it’s a slam dunk, or those who say the prosecution was right, just and air tight.
In other words, get in line, some people will think you’re correct others not so much.
Onward.

LOL But there is also the other side of the coin. Whom was it who originally said
"If you lay down with dogs you will catch fleas"
PPP makes me itchy LOL

I believe that was Cesar Milan, The Dog Whisperer. Or, Cesar Chavez, labor organizer and self professed “Gato Cat”.
A Cesar said it one way or the other, I think.

@leh-nerd skin-erd says it's because the Dems want you to live in a Prague-ish maisonette. Which actually sounds kind of nice.
Maybe a Belgrade Brutalist Bedsit?
Point of clarification, I never said that’s what the Dems want.
Roundy and I were having a convo the other day and he shared some thoughts on urban life, youngsters and automobile angst. I had asked if he had thoughts on a model city that fit the bill, but hadn’t heard back yet.
In the interim, the mind wanders and next thing you know, bing bang boom I’ve conjured up Roundy as a low level/high functioning member of the Prague Municipal National Committee.
That’s on me, I have to own it.

The judge always matters.
Don't do the crime if you can't do the time.
Or, commit the crime at a time in place where the outcome is predetermined.

You know I'm a sucker for urbane foreign phrases.
Do I get to keep my tiny EV for weekly runs to the co-op?
If by EV you mean the orthopedic shoes issued upon arrival (color choices: tan, beige, caramel machiatto), yes! Everything is walkable when you think about it.

Can I opt for the tiny off-the-grid house when I retire?
Some of those Tuff Shed models are pretty swanky now. 150 square feet of pure style
Of course, the collective is all about choice!
However, your tiny, off-the-grid house will be reimagined on your behalf into 118 square feet of vanilla-puddin-colored walls on the 38th floor of a cold war inspired Praguesque maisonette, with a view of some other old-ball-sacked retiree doing naked squat thrusts in front of the window without blinds in the building next door.
*Prague/maisonette=European vibe, and you're welcome.

First they came for the gold fixtures, and I didn't complain because I have no gold fixtures ...
That's the beauty of a podpartment, you will be free from decisions regarding choices of fixtures, clothing, paint color, furniture, appliances, cutlery, dishware etc. Oh, and on your toothbrush--everyone gets a toothbrush. And hot water every third day.
It's liberating, actually, and never mind that noise from the podpartment above/below/either side.

My comment was specific to the claims that Merchan is biased against Trump, nothing else.
Most of those claims being paraded about on PPP betray a lack of understanding of the court.
When people see the judge acted in a way they don’t like, they just immediately assume bias instead of asking “how does this compare to how this issue is normally handled in this court?”
It’s fair to suggest that people don’t know the normal processes of the court system. Most, myself included, would not know what constitutes “normal”.
In a case like this, however, where bias and politics are a significant factor—and legal observers of all stripes are weighing in with opinions ranging from purity to unquestioned neutrality, people are going to choose a side.
The way I see it, it sounds an awful lot like normal standards would not involve this case seeing a courtroom at all.

common sense and shared human values should not be politically dependent . All the ugly rhetoric and fighting solves nothing. that is what frustrates me most about politics.
Too much RED and BLUE not enough purple.
what you are selling smells like a pipe dream Leo. Honestly. With the divide as wide as it is HOW are we ever going to accomplish such lofty goals. Donald Trump at the helm??
SMH
I'm not selling anything Mup, I'm addressing comments you made to me.
Follow your instincts. Consider the impact on divide, rhetoric and fighting as it relates to suggesting religious fervor and worship is the reason people vote for anyone. Consider the impact of you voting for who you vote for, and their harsh words and rhetoric as well.
Most people get along just fine in the world. It does strike me as odd that when Trump won, handily, fairly and decisively...his political enemies attacked, and many/most of their supporters seemed to embrace divisive behavior and nasty rhetoric. You (the big picture you, not the you you) can't just want unity when your guy runs the show, it doesn't work like that.

My point is that the claims here about the judge’s bias seem to be mostly built upon misunderstandings of how the courts in NYS work.There is sustained debate of whether or not this case is purely political, whether or not Bragg took a novel approach to prosecuting this case, and decisions made by the judge throughout the course of the trial. You then chose one statement, as reported, to suggest discussions on bias are unreasonable based on a system you, yourself, have raised questions about.

You know I was quoting a CNN report that shows that the majority of voters don't consider it a priority. Right ?
Save your standard "oh those MAGA fools" screed for when it is appropriate Goosie.
When "literally" everybody believes the same thing, it might make sense to be careful when they serve the Kool Aid.
Plus CNN is in on it, maybe.

@muppy Low taxes...low inflation...free speech...low gas & energy prices...avoid conflict and war where possible...low crime rates..common sense control of the border (with a healthy immigration policy as well) and energy independence.
These people are referred to as cultists today. Interestingly, more than a few of the people I know are liberal and want these things too.

That’s so weird. Why would he say this if he’s in the tank for the prosecution…?
You're suggesting that one statement defines the role of the judge in the case? Is that how it works in practice?

Is this you?"Paradise by the Dashboard Light" was originally written depicting a late night encounter in a '72 Ford Cortina between an obscure tv commentator and his paramour, a male district court judge. Considered too scandalous at the time, the story was rewritten using traditional gender modeling consistent with societal norms of the day.
True story.

Since when does “mostly concerned” mean 55%? It doesn’t, in law, medicine or anywhere. So you taking me to task for “making up numbers” is just silly. Shocker.It’s interesting that we have two of THE finest (maybe) legal minds (perhaps) on the entire subforum of THE most relevant (arguable) Bills website on THE planet and they seem to have issues with both the law and the interpretation of the law being used to put away the former President. This commentary, of course, echos the larger debate on this topic as well.
At the same time, we, as humble witnesses to the spectacle. are cautioned against seeing bias and political shenanigans in the proceedings. @muppy

greetings. I wasn't aware that an upside down flag means peril. Yes it clearly is a sign of protest of SOMETHING
I realize I am swimming in dangerous waters in these threads so I come in peace.
The message of flying an American flag upside down is IMOa rebuke of our country. It IMO is not an obvious SOS message as this thread implies rather a dislike of America AND our country itself . excuse my French but **** *** NOT YOU THE POSTER the diss on America.
While people can even burn the flag and that's okay I guess this expression is too. But I don't have to like it
You have the right to not like it at all, in fact Justice Alito would likely wholeheartedly defend your right in that regard--the question centers around some people who would prefer a different decision that he might make in cases that he might participate in.

The appropriate response. We need to respect the counsel and wisdom of all the SC justices to see this through. We'll be better for it.

a la ****** I had an entire post written and my internet went poof COMMIE PLOT SMH lol
I'll try to recreate that sucks though.
to the bolded I will be mup the knife if I can rename you scarface
"say hello to my leeetle friend mup the knife" lol
I think the lines being political parties are more divided than ever before and MANY of those issues are what I see as spiritual battles.
I think Donald wants to be the "MAGA" savior of our country and many of his like minded followers honestly see him that way. It REEKS of religious fervor. That's what I meant. And HIS brand of leadership makes me QUEASY because of my distrust
By no means do I mean to disparage YOU of all people. You are my beloved chat brother by choice and it is my honor to be your Amiga.
I even asked you to hold my hair when the topic gags me. That's a true friend.
hasta lasagna senor Scarface. HA

Oh, I know what you meant, MupalupTownGirl, and I stand by what I said.
Big picture--there are crazies for sure. That's not unique to MAGA, Liberals or Independents.
The vast majority of people who support DJT aren't zealots, worshippers, cultists, nazis, deplorable, irredeemable or whatever the latest Hochul buzzword is. I'm not here to debate that, it's waste of time.
Somewhere out in America a Muppy twin--oh, let's go with Mupplegänger!--is queasy about your candidate, China Joe, Joe the Fib, Joey Doublespeak, Joey the Groper, Joey Burisma or whatever else he rightly is criticized for.
I can tell you this--I can, and will, discuss these and other topics with you respectfully and expect the same in return. If I deviate, call me out and I'll consider your feelings and adjust accordingly. If you deviate, I'll let you know, or depending on the totality of your posts, simply move on. Even if that happened, Mup, if I saw your car broken down along the road, or you needed assistance I could provide, I'd extend my hand to help you out. That's about the best I can offer.
As for holding your hair, I'd have to acknowledge I'd probably dunk ya a couple times as that would be epic!

Israel and the Slaughter in Gaza
in Politics, Polls, and Pundits
Posted
No Fuzzy Lumpkins, I wasn’t criticizing getting Brittney Grenier back, though I think JB was weak in that regard and Putin knew he could roll him. In fact, Hamas apparently knows how to roll him too.
It is interesting how you see things when it’s Israeli men, women and children being brutalized. You’re actually convinced that demanding the release of all kidnapped citizens as a condition of the ceasefire is a bad idea.
