Because we don't have a wall?

Anecdotally, the local USAG office appears to be in total meltdown. Opposing counsel are spending a lot of afternoons trying to drink away their bewilderment. If I understood what I overheard correctly, someone received an answer that more or less said "Sessions said to file this. Please don't disbar me."

Many. Many of them.

At least those guys were loyal to the bank of America.

There was a cross burned in my town in 1993. I'm not sure how much of that terrorism we actually dodged.

I agree that they are free to practice whatever they want however they want. It just sort of confuses me. At some point, your choices put you far enough out of the habits of the group that you stop being a member. I'm a Christian, but I believe that the Bible, while Divinely inspired, is not the literal word of…

Okay, this has been bugging me.

Your winnings, sir.

I'm in the UK actually but yeah, I think you accusing me of being a Russian shill is a good note to end any and all contact with you on.

Well, hey. Russian shill is really the least offensive of the options. Let's review:

Paraphrasing a quote from the New York Times that is attributed to anonymous sources is in no way equivalent to citing a conspiracy theorist appearing on a talk show that has no established pre-publication editorial review process.

And the quote from the NYT is ”President Trump told Russian officials” which is not materially different from Lionel’s ”told the Russians.”

Interesting. I hardly ever argue issues about which "I don't care that much either way" at six forty in the morning Eastern Daylight Time.

When it's dressed as a quote, it's a lie.

*Presses buzzer*

No, it is not. There are two differences between the summary and the quoted material: the implied requirement of "had to" and the conotation of certainty created by leaving "connections" unmodified. That isn't a lie, it is an interpretation. The NYT quotes support both the overall summary and the interpretative…

Lionel's summary is a fair reading of those quotes. Quit trolling.

If what I read is accurate, the bomber detonated just before the security cordon.

That isn't the way she told the story. Astaire found Reynolds sobbing, calmed her down, and then invited her to come watch him rehearse. That act of kindness cheered her up and gave her some insight into what it took to create a dance, but Astaire was not her instructor.

It probably helps that he's dead, but Gene Kelly is my hall pass…and the husband was a little vague on whether he was going to be the hall monitor.
