FBI’s Mar-a-Lago search followed months of resistance, delay by Trump By Josh Dawsey, Carol D. Leonnig, Jacqueline Alemany and Rosalind S. Helderman August 23, 2022 Donald Trump’s lawyers received ominous news in an April 12 email from the National Archives: The FBI would soon examine...

A person is any entity granted that status by law. In the U.S., it includes corporations, partnerships, associations, and other collective legal fictions.

This may go down in history as THE moment that was the start of worldwide change for the better. But I ain't betting the rent on it. Looks more like a mutually-beneficial way for two PMs to do the easy. . . promise great things in the future and dodge the problems of right now, and of the...

Nope. You misunderstand what rights are. They are not dependent on what people think. "If all mankind minus one, were of one opinion, and only one person were of the contrary opinion, mankind would be no more justified in silencing that one person, than he, if he had the power, would be...

Of a person. Do try to keep up.

What political power does a Democratic ex-President who's been out of office for sixteen years have over a Republican Attorney General? So your thesis is that if a cop pulls you over for speeding, but lets you off with a warning because he likes the cut of your jib or you told him a dirty joke...

So why is an unfertilized egg not granted full legal rights and status?

OK, so a man who identifies as a woman is an abomination unto the Lard, and the cause of much shrieking and tearing of hair among the terrified morons, but four cells is a child in the alleged minds of that same constituency. Sure. Why the hell not?

Having, in my time, driven a few women to get abortions (I mean "driven" as in I gave 'em a ride, not as in forced them to it), I tend to go with sympathy if they want it, or keeping my damn mouth shut. Amusing anecdote. I had a car for part of the time I was stationed in Japan. One day I...

OK, for you personally. But ya know, people, and especially women, end up in bed for a lot of reasons, some of 'em really sad. The last thing a woman who deeply regrets getting with the guy in the first place, and now finds herself pregnant, needs is a finger-wagging "I told you so!"

Why, ffs?

Actually, I did. I was in the intelligence community for a while, and it absolutely did, and does, piss me off when "important" people ignore the law and walk away laughing. The rest of your stuff is bullshit. So Bill talked to the AG. Why not? Anybody can talk to the AG, if they can get to...

Not really. Both can go up to death penalty. The Federal government usually has a better grade of cops and prosecutors, but that can cut either way. Most of the people being let out of prison for crimes they didn't commit went up on state convictions.

Wutabout Hillary is classic whataboutery. But do compare the wrongdoings. Let's see how they're "the same or very similar." You can start by demonstrating that Hillary ignored repeated requests to turn over the documents after she was no longer Secretary of State.

Y'know, frankly I don't much give a rap about the distance somebody'd have to drive, or bus, or skateboard, or about cost, or about six weeks or fifteen weeks or twenty-four weeks, or any tearjerking stories of little girls raped by their stepfathers, or any of that. The incredible intrusion...

If you're interested, I'll explain the difference between State Department secrets and defense and intelligence secrets, Serryah. The peanut gallery isn't interested, and they don't give a damn about Hillary one way or t'other. They're just desperately trying to protect Jesus Superman Trump.

A lot of people in the U.S. don't drive.

No point, Serryah. Just another whataboutery. Anything to divert attention from the issue, which is that Trump removed classified documents from a secure facility and refused to return them despite repeated requests. They tried to do this the easy way, he chose the hard way.

Question for y'all living in countries with parliamentary systems. What makes people choose to oust a popular PM? Not talking about True Dope, but one with consistently high ratings. In the post-WWII era, three out of nine German chancellors (their PMs) have had stays in the neighbourhood of...

Too much stuff in play. More than half of all abortions in the U.S. are by drugs, not surgery. It'll have to shake out which states will ban the drugs, and how the Federal government (which has authority over the postal system) rules on mailing the drugs into banning states. Further, unless...
