Jeebus, go read what you and Worms chatted about that I responded to. It wasn't that long ago. Cripes, you are where jokes go to die.

More prayers sent. Hope things are getting better.

You didn't want MAGA going after Hitler; I was painting a picture of your side doing it. Specifically the image of your Hamas apologists fighting a Jew hater; they'd probably build him a statue instead And I didn't even use the low hanging fruit of your fearsome transgender officers and coddled safe-space GenZ infantry.

I responded to you and worms who were discussing how bad it would have been if MAGA were in charge vs. Hitler.

Yeah, I read it a few years ago. Good book, I love alternative history stuff (also enjoyed The Man in the High Castle). I didn't know it was on Max, I'll look it up. That said, it's kinda comical that you'd propose sending in your Leftist army of Hamas loving Palestinian Americans and idealist academics to storm the beach of Normandy to help save Jewish lives.

Posty made your sign but not me.

Appreciate you, Fnord! So let's parse this, and in particular, the bolded. It's obvious from this post that there was no explicit request directly to Trump to unleash the NG, so your point is that he should have done so on his own. And I had just posted how requests were made that day but were cancelled by other folks, which is corroborated by your post. So let's get a yes/no on this: do you believe that the POTUS, a civilian who makes final decisions on CIC recommendations from his advisors, should have sent in the NG that day without the advice of military/security expert advisers? (McCarthy, Pelosi, Schumer, Pence don't qualify as such experts) Another yes/no: what should happen to Then-Army Secretary Ryan McCarthy for sitting on the request, and Lt. Gen Piatt for his priority of optics? Furthermore, should a former POTUS and current adversarial candidate to the current regime be under criminal indictment for not following the lack of advice from such advisers?

RIP Dickey

I'll flaunt my ignorance here and ask: was he specifically asked to order in the NG from his experts, and didn't do it? I honestly don't know, but that doesn't seem the case from the article I posted. I'll break that into two parts: the time leading up to 1/6, and as the SHTF on the day. The answers significantly impacts my opinion.

Didn't you just read the article? Are you saying that Trump should be convicted because he didn't personally pick up the phone and call them?

The section I went to last summer seemed nice enough, near the 1 train. Had a nice dinner there with my daughter, I think it was Dinosaur BBQ https://www.google.com/maps/place/Dinosaur+Bar-B-Que/@40.8169989,-73.9578203,17z/data=!4m15!1m8!3m7!1s0x89c2f66e2188a29f:0xb408afef09e2702e!2sHarlem,+New+York,+NY!3b1!8m2!3d40.8115504!4d-73.9464769!16zL20vMGY5NHQ!3m5!1s0x89c2f64267a7c6a5:0xc32504d8a73c6ba1!8m2!3d40.8180979!4d-73.9608447!16s%2Fg%2F1v1vf3kh?entry=ttu Clientele was 50/50 white/other. There were certainly plenty of POC there.

On the topic of taking your wife to such a place -- we've been, but it wasn't a regular thing. There was a Hooters downtown which was convenient for some pub food and beer around sporting events. Also a local place by ASU called The Library with girls in sexy schoolgirl outfits which was an "in" place to go, and a Coyote Ugly I think we went to, maybe in Vegas. These were all when we were younger. I think my wife is beautiful, but over time she ages, and the workers at these places don't, so IMO if I were to propose such a place now in our late 50s, it would be disrespectful to her.

A juror who was seated on the jury for former President Donald Trump in the Manhattan “Hush-Money” Trial earlier this week was excused on Thursday, saying she had concerns about her ability to be fair and impartial and had concerns about her identity being made public. New York Supreme Court Justice Juan Merchan called attorneys up to confer shortly after taking the bench on Thursday, April 18, saying that the woman also known as “Juror 2” had slept on the decision overnight and informed the court she wished to be dismissed. She was sworn in earlier in the week with six others, including one alternate, on the second day of the trial. She was brought into the room and said after thinking about it, she has friends, colleagues, and family that “push things” and outside influences that would likely affect her impartiality. She added that she had been identified as a juror from news reports. This is a developing story and will be updated.

Good post. Lots of bad precedents here. I said earlier that I thought he should not be impeached because he is basically carrying out the will of his boss. Now we have another bad precedent of just dismissing charges along party lines.

I couldn't have scripted your response better myself.
