    The Trump Card...

    There are quite a few liberals out there who are Tweeting support for Harvey against those Trump-voting deplorable Texans. http://redalertpolitics.com/2017/08/29/liberals-wont-donate-help-harvey-victims-texas-voted-trump/ Help!

    I think this thread is as good as any for Leo to give us hourly updates.

    The Trump Card...

    I'm gonna teeter out on a limb and say money might be a factor. But still... That's like going to The Ohio State University and being shocked that the institution worships a poisonous chestnut.

    The Trump Card...

    San Domenico is, in fact, a private Catholic boarding school where students live on campus, except for the relatively local students who live on campus Mon-Fri and go home in the weekends. Most (not all, but most) private Catholic schools accept non-Catholic students. Even the University of...

    It's August & Time To Get Rollin

    Fie department came out, turned off the Xtremely annoying fire alarm, checked the place out, let everyone back into the building. So now I can go get another shower. It's almost like I'm in east Texas.

    It's August & Time To Get Rollin

    Sooo, I'm at the Flying J in Haven, IN off 469 south of Ft Wayne. I'm in the shower and just get my head full of shampoo lather and the fire alarm goes off. I wait a little bit to see if it's a false alarm, then KNOCK KNOCK KNOCK!!! "WE NEED TO EVACUATE THE BUILDING!!!" I quickly rinse my hair...

    Happy Birthday from Lawrence

    Other than the Cron Job, everything is configured in the settings to make things automatic, including who the thread starter is. I just wanted to make sure that people didn't think Lawrence just decided to start ignoring or dissing people with birthdays, since he didn't even know when he was...

    Happy Birthday from Lawrence

    Happy Birthday, Rags! :) A few months ago (April) the author of the Birthday Thread addon module changed how it gets configured. Instead of configuring it from within the forum software (as a Cron Entry), it is now configured with a server-level command (as a Cron Job). I have access to to...

    He didn't do it!

    Back when we still had public hanging and firing squad executions, there was a marked drop in violent crime across the board, that lasted about two weeks. Lethal injection and the electric chair showed no such deterrent effect. Public wood chipper executions would act as a deterrent, and...

    He didn't do it!

    Not really. Executions by Year | Death Penalty Information Center Check out the Fact Sheet at that link. Horrific executions, carried out swiftly, might be a deterrent, but what we have now is not. In 1984 the average length of time spent on death row was 7 years. That has ballooned today to...

    The Trump Card...

    Oh, no! Two California Democratic House reps introduced a spending bill amendment to defund the salaries of Gorka and Miller. Now they're gonna have to rewrite the whole bill.

    He didn't do it!

    Yep. In most cases, there's no place in a court room for truth or justice. It's whether you win or lose. It's only relatively recently that prosecutors even had to inform the defense of any exculpatory evidence that would exonerate the defendant. Before the landmark Brady v. Maryland decision in...

    A boy with flag.

    Most of the constitutional issues they work on tend to be liberal, because conservatives tend to be, you know, conservative when allowing certain things. But when you drill down to their arguments and remove political sentiments and considerations, they tend to be spot on. Whether it's the...

    A boy with flag.

    Well, until recently, the ACLU was a good thing, because they went after the extreme speech, the extremely unpopular speech, because that's the exact type of speech the First Amendment is there to protect. But a funny thing happened on the way to the travel ban. More than $90 million flooded in...

    Hillary: 'Back up'

    Hilarious. You can see it right there, instead of sitting down and giving her the stage, giving her her space, he was all up in it. And it was blatant. And hilarious.

    Hillary: 'Back up'

    No, it was a freestyle town hall. No parking yourself behind a lectern. In hilarious classic intimidating postures, Trump would at times circle the stage, surveying and marking his territory, so to speak, and at times he would stand directly in front of her when speaking, to block her, and at...

    He didn't do it!

    I think cops, and prosecutors, should be on the hook for the same number of days in jail as anyone who they wrongly convicted. That'll stop that crap.
