The old expression "Think outside the box" comes to mind here. The problem for many people is they they are blissfully unaware that the box even exists.

Are you asking me if I believe rules, precedent and order should carry the day when it comes to impeachment? Or if congress should push forward based on prevailing political winds or who(m) is in power and when? Glad we agree on truth and transparency.

We can agree to disagree on whether or not impeachment has become a mainstream political strategy (it has), or that character assassination and innuendo isn't already a mainstream political strategy (it always has been), or that the the actions of family members are irrelevant in political operations (they aren't, and never were), but Biden brought this on himself. If you're correct, however, that no one is paying attention, then what's the harm in seeking transparency and truth?

That’s just good writing.

That’s incorrect. When a narrative is repeated over and over and over and over and over the tendency is for the mud to stick. Likewise, when you allow your political adversary to set the narrative without pushing back, or playing the same game, you do so at your own peril.

And then @Tiberius compares the Lincoln assassination with driving 55 in a 50.

Ground and pound. It works. Keep rolling this stuff out over time. Hunter sounds like a total mess in that text, you gotta be wonder how a whiny meth head like that gets paid madd staxx in the Ukraine, or would have you didn’t know what happened. It’s not your tax money, it’s just your fair share of the collective. You probably should do more, too.

Yes! Debate is healthy, though based on the thoughts Sect shared with me after seeking me out, I'm not sure conversing with me is good for him. He seems agitated, mostly, and a bit forgetful. I reserve the right to verbose the **** out of this motha.

Frankish posted thoughts on an issue. I replied to Frankish. You took the time to read what I wrote, pressed the quote button to reply directly to me, and offered a soliloquy of sorts on how you felt. You can call it something else, but it seems awfully seeky to me. 🤷‍♂️ Thanks for the additional feedback though.

You get a special Smiley face pin today, that's for sure. Here it is: 🤪 I am very, very proud of you.

Sure, in a perfect world, that would be the goal. Justice would still be blind, though, and at least according to Frank, maybe this action would not have been forthcoming. You may benefit from a conversation with him. I would counsel against attempting to gain clarity from Tibsy, he's all over the page on this one. There's also the harsh reality that not everyone is treated equally in these political squabbles. The party in power often flexes its muscles on behalf of some (Eliot Spitzer comes to mind), while targeting others with extreme prejudice. We can pretend it doesn't happen, but it does, so it seems silly not to acknowledge it.

It was Frankisheses comments about the political nature of the action that got all this started, Tibsy, not me. You went from real estate valuations to some crazy riff about Abraham Lincoln and slavery, then abandoned that craziness to land on someone doing 38 in a 35. As far as how the world works---yes, Hayseed, that's how things work in NYC! And yet..here you are, seeking me out.

You may have an issue with Frankish and his perspective, that’s best directed to him, unless he is you, in which case you can tell yourself. As for status, the reputation of NYC as shining beacon of financial salvation simply doesn’t exist. That’s due in part to financial shenanigans by individuals, corporations, unions alike, but is exacerbated by insider deals, politicians on the take, and pay for play. Believe it, don’t, it’s just the way it is.

I already knew where you stand, Tibsy. But kudos to you for having the audacity to comparing real estate valuations and rickety public officials to slavery. It’s crazy. It’s nutty. It’s completely preposterous, but it’s all you.

See, again, there you go. The govt is supposed to wear the white hat Frank, and in many cases that’s not what happens. This is classic NYS political maneuvering, and one would argue playing around the edges is what passes for “…accepted business practices…” in that venue. In other words, people get paid to push things through, people look the other way, and that’s just NY. Consider the most recent long line of AGs and “Where are they now?”’ Cuomo Schneiderman Spitzer It’s ok to state you’re ok with this sort of politicking when you don’t like the defendant, but egregious if you do. ⚖️

Come on John, he’s an incredibly wealthy guy who’s been a government lifer, with incredible wealth visited upon his immediate family members. He’s a guy who if he wasn’t in office is exactly the sort of fat cat using the tax code to duck his fair share. Remember John the hated folks these days are millionaires and billionaires.

“No, Mr. President, we’re the UAW, and Jimmy Hoffa has been dead since 1975.”

I just think we need to remember a rising tide lifts all boats. Let ‘em talk, they’re two of the biggest names in politics these days.

I can help. Jacksonville. Sun. Dangerous. Hot af. Girls in bikinis. Then I got distracted.

Welcome back Jim--and I am very sorry to hear about your loss. Here's to Mary!

👏

Tibsy with his bestie. Not certain who is whom, whom is who, or whom is whom.

No, he doesn’t notice.

They need to keep chipping away against the Biden legacy, like Andy Dufrene is Shawshank. He is to blame.

Six ways from Sunday….
