I don't see gender. Witchlocks or Wartches--no issues so long as they don't cast their spells on me.

On the other hand, you could not tag him at all. Just a thought for the greater good.

Let's be clear--Clarence Thomas never, ever discussed business with the lesser Biden!

Prayers up for the officers involved, and thank goodness they arrived en masse to defuse this very volatile and dangerous situation. Feelings can be assaulted, too.

“…no good faith reason…”? It’s a website, not the Salem Witch trials.

I’m just catching up here and was about to type “…360….🤫” and see @JDHillFan addressed it. 🤣 I don’t pass judgment, and I’m not an elector at all. I’m just the notch guy. However, I truly believe Clarence Thomas would not have made that 360 error. You are being denotched by a one notch.

Obviously...that's the way lesser men respond. I knew that--I'm at notch 9.

Now you have it. I can move you up a notch on the Less-Lesser man list, but even after that, you're only at notch 2. There are many, many notches.

You'll be fine, everyone will be fine.

Trump's done so much bad ***** that cocaine is cool again!

On cue, a lesser man revealed.

Clarence Thomas is an incredible man, ridiculed and scorned by lesser men who see him as a threat to their vision of the status quo. It’s pretty simple, really. Supreme Court nominee Thomas laid it out in straightforward term 30+ years ago.

And what is the typical response from those on the left and media pundits? I’ll give you a hint….they blame law enforcement for being heartless and cruel. Based on what we know now, seems to me this guy was absolutely off his rocker. The video from the shooting should tell us all we need to know.

I called him but yeah, the real deal.

We have no evidence John is in Riverside, or that his name is John! criss cross…trust no one.

@Andy1 https://www.cnbc.com/amp/2023/08/07/trump-gag-order-is-likely-given-his-online-attacks-pence-jack-smith-legal-experts-say.html This article takes a deeper dive into the question we discussed the other day. True, it seems a bit hyperbolic on the importance of words in capital letters, neglects to mention that Trump has actually been the victim of political persecution according to many people in the know, but overall...why should his speech be limited beyond highly sensitive or protected information, when the govt has no such restraint? Gag orders are usually only imposed when the fairness of a trial is seen to be at risk, legal experts said. The judge will have to weigh First Amendment concerns against the need to prevent attempts to tamper with witnesses or taint the jury pool. later... In a filing Monday evening, Trump's attorneys argued that the Department of Justice's proposed protective order was too broad. The defense attorneys proposed a narrower order that they said would shield "only genuinely sensitive materials from public view." and... In a social media post earlier Monday, Trump claimed that a protective order in the case "would impinge upon my right to FREE SPEECH." In the same post, Trump said that Smith and the DOJ should be bound by such an order, claiming they are "leaking" information. Again, I understand the malice and disgust directed at Trump, but think the defense raises a valid point about being muzzled unreasonably.

A wise man once said: You could look your post from a very positive point of view, that this country is built on freedom and self-expression and that any "protest" is a strong indication of a healthy, free democracy; and their actions can be viewed as someone who believes the country could indeed be even better. In fact, you may even ask yourself, if they feel so strongly then perhaps we should listen to what they have to say. You don't have to ultimately agree, but you should feel comfort in their ability to say it. It's a soccer game. When someone ruffles feathers, feathers get ruffled. That's the point. I'm ok. You're ok. We just disagree. Personally, I don't care if they win or lose. I have no interest in soccer generally, but where I used to love the aspect of amateur athletics and the pursuit of glory, these super teams of well-compensated individuals doesn't hold much interest to me. It seems more like a sponsorship deal than anything else, though I can see young fans being inspired to be great as well.

I'm just a humble observer, but considering the totality of the board that seems extreme. I'm not just speaking about here, where people getting tagged often upsets the fragile amongst us, but even on the main board, there's some mean-girl posting that goes on. I'm not sure who Chris is, but he sounds like a scoundrel. I'd start a petition to Free Irv, but honestly it seems like a lot of work.

@Irv is a beauty school dropout. Missed his midterms and flunked shampoo. It happens.

I don’t think they play it under these circumstances.

Thanks B. Context is important of course. I was speaking to BillSy on that issue, especially as it relates to the film industry generally and the Hollywood establishment specifically. It seems logical to me that many of the players in Hollywood--big stars, studio heads, producers had to know about Harvey Weinstein's predilection(s). I haven't heard back from BillSy on that note, just wondering what your thoughts are?

For as bad as she allegedly was, Hillary Clinton earned nearly as many votes as Barrack Obama 4 years earlier. Biden earned nearly 16,000,000 more votes than either—agenda clearly matters. But, I agree, Trump outperformed Clinton on the campaign trail.

The system is established to serve the system. It’s not all that complicated. It’s not even bad, it just is. Though, come to think of it, the country burned brightly not all that long ago under the theory that the system established to serve the system is inherently corrupt. The one consistency is that many people pledge absolute trust in the system when it supports their world view, and seek to tear it down and remake it when it doesn’t.

Ah, I misunderstood and jumped to a conclusion. My bad. Would Hollywood defending and protecting Harvey Weinstein for decades be typical liberal behavior, in your opinion, consistent with your feelings on typical MAGA behavior and this movie?

You’re in the nobody knew nothing about Weinstein camp? Seriously? It’s much more likely that most major players in the industry knew what he was doing, with whom it was going on with, and maintained silence in solidarity and/or for personal benefit. It’s a dirty business.
