Such a violation of the rule of law! No, not dropping the case, bringing it to begin with.

Is it raaacist to say the Obama administration was acting like a banana republic?

All the news media complaining about Trump's tweets - and that he tried to get a "reporter" out of the White House press briefing for being rude. 

No mention that Obama sic'ed the Justice Dept. on reporters and tried to get Fox News thrown out of the WH press briefing for being honest.

And where, oh where, was all the reporting about the Obama administration sending the IRS after groups they didn't like? Look up Z Street vs the IRS. But Z Street is Zionist, can't support that.

Buzz, you had asked about your landlady wanting you to use Venmo to pay the rent.

My credit union has a free service that lets you pay people by giving them the email address or cell phone number (or account number, but I doubt she'd give that to you)

I have been using it to transfer my wife's share of the COVID stimulus to her accounts. 

But that reminds me, the limit per payment is $400, which probably isn't a week's rent for the NY area.

BTW, Dershowitz has been ostracized for insisting the Trump administration be treated with the proper rule of law.

Funny, though, how Kavanaugh was GUILTY - believe the woman.

Biden? His denial was fine. Even though Reade's story holds up better (although not perfectly) and Biden has been known to be a bit close to women.

They may be a little nervous about it coming out, but the Obama gang couldn't have hoped for better timing.  With all attention on the pandemic, they'll skate.  (Prove me wrong, Trump DOJ.)

LA Will Never Completely Reopen ‘Until We Have A Cure’

New flash dipstick. You don't cure a virus... ever.

There can be effective vaccines, you can treat symptoms, individually people recover.

It's not the coronavirus, or the Chinese virus, or the Wuhan virus or Covid-19.

It is the Cloward-Piven Virus.

Reade has a lot more evidence than Christine Blasey Ford ever did. 

Frankly, my default position on sexual assault allegations, especially ones from years earlier, is that they're false. This is particularly true, IMO, for accusations on college campuses. The new Title IX regulations are a step in the right direction, but it would be better to get colleges out of the matter altogether. If you've been assaulted, go to the police and let them investigate. And I can tell you, based on stories from my BF the cop, a lot of the stories reported to police are also lies.

Part of me would be happy to see Los Angeles devolve into a combination of Lord of the Flies and Mad Max, especially if they take the celebrities with them. But that's not fair to the ordinary people who are trapped there and just want to live their lives. I think what's going to happen will be days or weeks of rioting that will make the Rodney King riot look like the Boy Scout Jamboree. Watch the beaches in LA this weekend.

I will just point out my wife defends sex offenders. At least one case she had was probably regret for what happened.

But in most cases, these guys should be locked up. And then either hung by their.... or brought to this small guillotine.

I've said that many criminals can get some sympathy. Bank robber? Needed the money. Junkie selling drugs to pay for his own? Poor guy, needs help. Even a dealer just trying to live well, we can understand someone who needed the money.

Murderer? Who hasn't wanted to kill someone, sometime?

But sex offenders? Especially child rapists? That's why so many states have laws that can keep them locked up or away somewhere.

I wish the rocks in the heads of the NY Slimes "reporters" and "editors" would finally finish the job of bashing in their brains so they can't write any more. But their brains are so small.

NY Times - all the Jew hatred that is fit to print. (And some of it that isn't. They never did figure out why a cartoon of Netanyahu as a guide dog, leading a blind Trump, was an example of Jew-hatred. Bibi even had a Magen David on his dog collar. Der NY Sturmer.)

All this reminds me of the first three barbers I went to. I'm sure the first one was a Jew; my parents picked him. Later, I went to Leonard Nimoy's father. Then we moved, and the barber I found had tattooed numbers on his arm.

If there's enough evidence to bring it to trial, sure, the guy is probably guilty. And some genuine cases never go to court. The evidence needs to be overwhelming because juries are reluctant to convict on something that will ruin a person's life if they get it wrong. If a woman files a false police report, it rarely gets beyond the investigative stage, and she will almost never be prosecuted. Allegations on campus or in a corporate environment, however, may never be properly investigated and a man is often deprived of his education or livelihood based on something that's at best ambiguous and at worst an outright lie. "Believe all women" is nonsense - take all women seriously and investigate, sure, but apply the same standards of proof as you would to anything else.

There were a lot of jokes back then about the iceman, not only because people used ice in then-illegal booze, but because, since the iceman came to deliver when the little woman was home alone, there were all sorts of chances for illicit liasons.   Consider Groucho's line in "Monkey Business," in the "closet scene" with Thelma Todd: "I'm sorry, but we're using the old-fashioned iceman, and we find he's very good for keeping the house warm."

Chico was "the iceman" and he was the one who delivered bootleg booze. Earlier, he takes the order for a fifth of Scotch and a fifth of rye, and fills both bottles from the same jug.
