Urban legend spread by conservatives (inspired perhaps by a Law And Order episode which may have been based on the urban legend) https://www.borderreport.com/immigration/border-crime/border-authorities-refute-gop-allegations-of-rape-trees-rampant-in-south-texas/ Border authorities refute GOP allegations of ‘rape trees’ rampant in South Texas McALLEN, Texas (Border Report) — Republican lawmakers and candidates have been espousing the notion that “rape trees” — spots where migrants are sexually assaulted, their undergarments are hung as “trophies” — are prevalent on the South Texas border. But during interviews with Border Report, several border sheriffs and federal officials said they have found no evidence that “rape trees” exist. [...] U.S. Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, tweeted that he’d seen “rape trees” in July after visiting South Texas. He wrote: “What’s happening at the border is inhumane, it’s evil, and it cannot be defended.” But Border Report spoke with three South Texas sheriffs from the border counties of Maverick, Hidalgo and Webb, and all say they have never heard of such a concept, nor come across such structures. “I don’t know where they’re getting that information. What area? It’s not in Maverick (County) that I know of and I haven’t heard it from the other sheriffs close to my area,” Maverick County Sheriff Tom Schmerber said via phone Tuesday from his office in Eagle Pass, Texas.

Probably very few if any, I would imagine since they will probably want to maintain their anonymity (particularly if there is a guilty verdict).

https://x.com/KatiePhang/status/1794708019436982490 Katie’s Sidebar: I’ve been asked several times when we should expect a verdict in Trump’s NY election interference trial. Of course that’s like reading tea leaves. But considering the fact the jury has been off for a week by the time they return for Closing Arguments on Tuesday morning, I think it’s a decent assumption we could have a verdict as early as Thursday. There are 34 felony counts. Each count stands alone, meaning that the jury must return a verdict as to each of those 34 counts. And recall: each count is linked to either a check or a general ledger voucher or an invoice. That’s how you get to 34. So, here are the following scenarios, generally speaking, that we could see occur: The jury returns a unanimous verdict of GUILTY as to all 34 counts. The jury returns a unanimous verdict of NOT GUILTY as to all 34 counts. The jury is HUNG as to all 34 counts. A variation of the above scenarios, although that would be unusual. As in, maybe the jury only convicts Trump on the checks themselves and not the invoices or general ledger vouchers?

Sadly, we haven't seen a whole lot from this crowd. SMH. I think some here have been unduly harsh in their criticism of the suicide victim, but that is just my opinion. We really don't know what was going through her mind or how rationally she was thinking at the time.

No, but I can't say that I am surprised.

Link?

Yup, that couldn't be considered anti-Semitic could it? No way.

Who would be dumb enough to think that Biden will ban critical thinking?

No, I prefer Fido to be cooked rather than eaten raw.

No anti-Semitism in this thread. No sir. None at all.

Since these students will still have to pass the medical boards in the states they hope to practice, this won't impact the quality of medical care that anyone receives.

A distinction without a difference IMO.

And that isn't claiming an assassination attempt? Okie Dokie Pokie.

What other allegation could he be referring to here?

https://x.com/BidenHQ/status/1793655960579301449 (video at link) NEW AD: As Trump heads to the Bronx today, let’s remember: Trump is a lifelong racist. From calling to execute innocent Black teenagers to standing with violent white supremacists, we all know who Trump is.

Merrick Garland seems to think so. https://x.com/kylegriffin1/status/1793719819214246345 AG Garland rejects the Trump claim that Biden tried to assassinate him during the Mar-a-Lago raid: "That allegation is false and it is extremely dangerous. The document that is being referred to in the allegation is a Justice Department standard policy limiting the use of force. As the FBI advises, it is part of a standard operations plan for searches and in fact it was even used in the consensual search of President Biden's home."

Yeah, who says his supporters don't want him to be a dictator.

Allright!

And unlike you I understand the words that someone actually says and believe them.

So won't you listen to what the man said

Thank you!
