yes i understand but most of those charges are predicated on their being an underlying crime, ie: racketeering, wire fraud, mail fraud, etc.

Though I understand there was a fake charity involved, which seem to be the source of a lot of the criminality. Basically the problem is this dude should have just admitted what…

oh OK.  I guess the charity part is illegal..

ok. ok. But what part is actually illegal? I mean... it’s not illegal to cheat of the SATs or pay someone a “bribe” to let you join a country club or whatever.

I still don’t understand what part of this was illegal.

It’s that guy? Seriously? What happened the Bugle Boy was already taken?

Back in my day they called this a donation and the school named something after you as a result as well as letting your kid in. My high school didn’t have a tree, a stick, a mud patch or dumpster without a little bronze plaque in loving memory of some benevolent benefactor.

but... I was told there was no racism in Brazil.

I am loathe to equate “police calls” with wrong doing. Anyone can call the police for any reason and these calls are often weaponized against people.

Right. And this one, in the article, is a Jaguar where as the one from Marvel comics is from Africa.... where there are no Jaguars... so it can only be a Leopard.

Well that is true for some animals like Elk, which are called Elk in Eurasia but Moose in North America. But jaguars and leopards are entirely separate animals. Leopards have rosette patterned spots with nothing in the center where as Jaguars have black dots in the center of their rosette patterned spots.

I’m just followin along wit you.

So she’s not from Wakanda?  

Stan Lee knew that Black Panther was a leopard... the character even changed it’s name to Black Leopard for a while... something to do with...Oakland...

Well then who was Michael interviewing in this article, if panthers can’t talk?

I have apparently taken on the job of correcting all of Michael’s myriad animal misconceptions. https://thegrapevine.theroot.com/1833138428

I will just point out that Wakanda is in Africa and Jaguars are from America.

yeah, I missed that part I skimmed it.

“It turns out that milky white substance is a venom that causes immediate cardiac arrest.”

You can cook vegetables outside.

P.S. What is with these cookouts? Y’all know about restaurants right? I only eat at restaurants, they make the food for you. 

Well what had happened was...

I remembered a detail of Sage Steele’s biography but attributed it to Cari Champion and then mentioned it. It wasn’t so much that I thought Cari Champion was Sage Steele, it was that I was unaware of Sage Steele’s existence.

I once confused Sage Steele with Cari Champion.... while taking to Cari Champion
