I take a bit of umbrage at that assignment personally Tom Send a noteboard - 06/12/2024 12:37:40 AM

As an attorney with international oil and gas experience in general and oil and gas experience in the former Soviet Union in particular, with the requisite big firm background and knowledge of the languages and history of the region, as well as personally knowing a lot of players in the field (some of whom are still clients), I would be massively more qualified to serve on the board of Burisma, but my last name isn't Biden (thank God - it would mean I'm functionally retarded) and my father wasn't the Vice President so I was never considered (nor am I surprised by that - you don't put people like me on the board of a company unless it's in the zone of insolvency and you want to make sure your actions don't create problems in bankruptcy if you choose to file). The point is that the guy is like an incompetent, retarded, drug addict version of myself and he did get the job. It sort of irks me.

Political correctness is the pettiest form of casuistry.

ἡ δὲ κἀκ τριῶν τρυπημάτων ἐργαζομένη ἐνεκάλει τῇ φύσει, δυσφορουμένη, ὅτι δὴ μὴ καὶ τοὺς τιτθοὺς αὐτῇ εὐρύτερον ἢ νῦν εἰσι τρυπώη, ὅπως καὶ ἄλλην ἐνταῦθα μίξιν ἐπιτεχνᾶσθαι δυνατὴ εἴη. – Procopius

No Fucks Left to Give Joe tosses Hunter a blanket pardon - 02/12/2024 09:23:33 PM 619 Views
I think if he hadn't said he wouldn't pardon his son, then this would be a non-issue. - 03/12/2024 12:53:15 PM 422 Views
I don't agree with that - it would've been a serious issue still. - 03/12/2024 05:56:18 PM 348 Views
How about this? - 04/12/2024 03:43:52 AM 331 Views
Fully agree. *NM* - 04/12/2024 06:40:15 AM 157 Views
I don't believe he'd been sentenced for those crimes, yet, had he? - 04/12/2024 07:14:04 AM 348 Views
Per 'old news', his sentencing dates were Dec 12 for the gun charge and 16 for tax evasion - 04/12/2024 01:30:11 PM 340 Views
In that case, yes, your solution is a good one. - 04/12/2024 03:58:32 PM 368 Views
Trump was already going to pardon all the J6 defendants, though. - 04/12/2024 07:18:56 AM 363 Views

Ugh, I hate this 'they're all the same' rhetoric. - 04/12/2024 09:22:38 PM 396 Views
I respectfully disagree. - 04/12/2024 11:09:07 PM 301 Views
Seems like we're kind of talking past each other here. - 05/12/2024 11:39:02 PM 351 Views
Trump had quite a few successes in his first term - 06/12/2024 02:45:32 PM 427 Views
You mean his administration and Congress had those successes. - 06/12/2024 10:12:25 PM 363 Views
No, I mean him. *NM* - 07/12/2024 12:38:27 AM 252 Views
Okay, then I guess we're not debating it, as you like. *NM* - 07/12/2024 08:54:03 AM 214 Views
The achievements of the administration are attributed to the President. - 08/12/2024 10:50:43 AM 410 Views

We've been over this - some of this is true, some is, at a minimum, not proven that I ever saw. - 05/12/2024 11:18:24 PM 320 Views
I know it was factually true - 06/12/2024 12:46:44 AM 430 Views
Sounds like you need to become a whistleblower and go talk to the FBI yourself, then? - 06/12/2024 11:37:00 AM 331 Views
Typically, whistle blower and attorney client privilege are not viewed as compatible. - 06/12/2024 03:57:12 PM 310 Views
