@rookie54said a man reveals a bottle of liquid flame
and cackles in a language nought yet heard by human ears
as he brandishes the ignition source the anticipation of the crowd grows
as one entity, they train their video cameras upon the spectacle
one spoilsport calls for help
This is what it takes to steal the limelight, if only for a few seconds, from the acknowledged master of mendacity.
@mott-the-hooplesaid cant wait till they produce the victim of this horrible crime 😂
The 'victims' are all the corporations which did not falsify their records and were thereby unfairly disadvantaged by the cheater.
That is why a chess player who cheats with an engine is barred from an entire tournament, instead of having merely his one cheated-game result annulled.
@no1maraudersaid Opening statements Monday. Jury selection went pretty smoothly considering the notoriety of the case.
It's less the case that's "notorious" (falsifying business records isn't all that uncommon), it's more the defendant. It's hard for Trump to accept that, as far as the court is concerned, he's not a former president and not the presumptive front runner for the presidency either -- he's John Doe, just plain John Doe.
Am I correct that this being a criminal case and not a civil one, the rules of evidence are tighter (i.e., tougher to get a conviction)?
@cliff-mashburnsaid Isn't Harris as VP pretty much set in stone? Her being potus is frightening.
Mike Pence would have been preferable. At least he understands how the rule of law works. But I guess he won't be Trump's pick next time through the wringer.
@mchillsaid I was under the impression that logic is logic, no matter the source.
With all due respect, I'm not impressed with your impression. Human logic has its limitations, just as all humans do. God is limitless, using human logic to try to explain or understand God and/or his inspired word is futile.
Of course logic has limitations; I don't pretend that logic explains everything in the universe and I don't know of any serious philosopher who ever maintained that it does (not even Logical Positivists such as Alfred Ayer). But it's a cop-out to run under the skirts of 'God did it' every time we bump into something we can't explain logically.
"God is the only or the prime reality, from which all reality flows" isn't an explanation of anything; it's a statement of allegiance. It says something about the speaker (KJ in this instance) and nothing about reality.
@vespinsaid We are down to 3 full pages of clans. I believe that is around 50 to 60 clans, actually less if we don't count one player clans. We use to have 120 to 180 clans I believe.
Leaders are not playing matches, and not just with my team or Metallica, they are just sitting silent and if they do play, they argue over a 2 player vs a 3 player match as if that would have any impact a ...[text shortened]... nd clans. It's really a shame.
All my best to everyone regardless of the situation.

People have come to recognise that there is not a level playing field and that certain 'tactics' skew the results. Change the framework to establish a level playing field, stop employing said 'tactics', and that might attract people back to the clan system.
@pettytalksaid A real expert on reality made the following affirmation.
"The real world, was created by the real Jesus, who is the real Word of God, who entered into the real world He created, as the real incarnate Word of God made fully human."
This is the sort of edifying-seeming word salad which results when religion devolves into religiosity, which is fairly widespread in Protestant circles. Everyone is his own biblical authority, no need to go to a seminary or study any theology, history, or classical languages.
Also no public services or safety. I know, I've been there. The infrastructure is worse than in Europe during the black death -- no sanitation, the water that comes out of the taps is poisonous, garbage litters the streets, cadavers are left to rot by the roadside ...
Life in the state of nature is "poor, nasty, brutish, and short," said Thomas Hobbs. We see in Haiti a real-life case of what happens when a state is first corrupted by dictators and then fails altogether. So sad.
@cliff-mashburnsaid Yet he's guilty of the worst kind of incompetence and dishonesty, constantly lying to the public while millions cross our border, in order to cover for Biden..
Incompetence?? Not telling the truth?? If they’d confirmed the impeachment, it would have set the bar so low that no congressman’s seat would’ve been secure.
@averagejoe1said You are right about Biden with his blank check. How much money are we up to now? Would you look that up for us. Have you heard he wants to pay off student loans? Do you think that will be it, because I think there will be something else, to pay off credit card debt, for example. Then he would control interest rates, restricting the interest a bank can charge on a mortgage ...[text shortened]... what democracy is, would be a good person to ask about Biden‘s transformation into being a dictator.
The essential thing about dictators is that they never leave office peacefully and on schedule. Now look at how Trump left office, and the legacy of January 6th.
