Yeah, and you would think conservatives and those on the right would agree that he should have the right to do that - although they were the most critical of his name change at the time (and some still are). Although the same folks today have no problem with the guy born James Donald Bowman calling himself J.D. Vance, go figure.

Yes he is IMO, but he was found guilty of sexual assault and not rape (grabbing E. Jean Carroll by the was not considered rape by the court, although she would disagree).

No he isn't, which is why I put him on ignore.

Arguably the best boxer who ever lived. He did not fight for nearly four years and lost a period of peak performance as an athlete due to his refusal to be drafted into the military, owing to his religious beliefs and ethical opposition to the Vietnam War. He was found guilty of draft evasion and stripped of his boxing titles. He stayed out of prison while appealing the decision to the Supreme Court, where his conviction was overturned in 1971. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Muhammad_Ali

Really, because I would have to spend more time with you.

Better than living my life here.

I think Michael Connelly's Harry Bosch books are better than the Mickey Haller series (which is a Bosch spin off). The Bosch series are more Police Procedure type novels, while the Haller's would probably fall under the Legal Thriller category. Connelly has been phasing out the Bosch character, first having him retire and then called back to work as a volunteer with the "Cold Case" unit. The most recent Bosch books has him paired with LAPD Detective Renee Ballard solving cold cases for the most part, while dealing with a cancer diagnosis and treatment.

He was pursued for shooting an unarmed man then fleeing the scene of the crime to avoid being arrested (as evidenced by the fact he didn't turn himself in when later encountering the police, instead driving across state lines to his home).

And there was an assault, no?

R.I.P.

This won't be the last attack of this sort on reporters, particularly minority reporters, because, as the Trump supporter pointed out "This is Trump's America now"

There are reports that the man on fire at Penn Station was homeless and may have set himself on fire (per the NY Post) although I have been unable to verify that from a credible news source.

Why would they when blacks only represent about 1.7 per cent of the total population? They probably don't have much of a pool of black actors to choose from when casting. Latinos account for approximately 19% of the total US population, so it shouldn't be a shock that they occasionally are given main character roles.

Speculation is that it was caused by a "bird strike" but I don't see how that could prevent the landing gear from deploying (which is what happened).

Don't deflect. You can't provide a link that Democrats were saying this before the November election. Why should I look for something that I know doesn't exist?

False. Let's see a link to Democrats calling Trump and/or Musk the current president before the November election, which would be months ago.

Months ago? No.

Yes, it has and was discussed extensively in another thread.

Flu shots don't guarantee that you won't get the flu. They only protect you from the flu viruses that scientists identified at the time the vaccine was created and there will always be variations or mutations that they have missed.

A lot of things Trump says and does would get anyone else crucified here by the MAGA crowd, but he always gets a pass, no matter what it is.

If anyone is banned, it will be liberals first before someone like Seafoam who supports the conservative, MAGA, Trump majority viewpoint of this forum.
