Orange Posted May 7, 2020 Share Posted May 7, 2020 In case you've been under a rock, there was an out-and-out lynching in Georgia two months ago. A black man was jogging down a road, two white men (father and son) mistook him for a burglary suspect, and made a "citizen's arrest" which involved shooting him to death with a shotgun.

Orange Posted May 12, 2020 Share Posted May 12, 2020 RBG is a nat'l treasure. https://lawandcrime.com/supreme-court/rbg-immediately-went-there-asked-trump-lawyer-how-whitewater-and-watergate-were-different-from-tax-return-case/ The U.S. Supreme Court held oral arguments on Tuesday to suss out the legal issues and positions of various interested parties in two consolidated cases concerning valid congressional subpoenas previously issued to Deutsche Bank and the accounting firm Mazars USA LLP for President Donald Trump‘s various financial records. Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg quickly sought to distinguish the long-simmering battle between the President and his businesses and congressional Democrats over the 45th president’s tax returns from prior instances in which the U.S. Congress has mounted similarly invasive and high-profile investigations of a sitting president. “Counsel, in so many of these prior cases, there was a cooperation,” Ginsburg began. “For example: tax returns. Every president voluntarily turned over his tax returns. So, it gets to be a pitched battle because President Trump is the first one to refuse to do that.” The famed liberal justice continued: Initially, [Trump] said because of an audit was ongoing. Now it seems to be broader than that. But the aura of this case is really: “Sauce for the goose that serves the gander as well.” So, how do you distinguish, say, Whitewater when President Clinton’s personal records were subpoenaed from his accountant or even Hillary Clinton‘s law firm billing records were subpoenaed. It seems that in prior cases–you say this one is one-of-a-kind–but it seems that in prior cases there was a much greater collision of interests. [Indistinguishable] the Nixon tapes. How do you distinguish all of those cases, Watergate, Whitewater, the Nixon tapes case, the Paula Jones case? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mysfit Posted May 14, 2020 Share Posted May 14, 2020 The whistleblower keeps hitting on the fact there is no central plan. Of course the WH is claiming there is one. Which begs the question then why is the small fingered vulgarian constantly pushing everything back on the states to get it done? Telling the states it's all on them is the opposite of a central plan......duh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well yeah But that does not constitute the sort of centralized plan we need and the scientists are talking about. The mismanagement has become such a huge fucking nightmare and 45% really don't care. I'm thoroughly disgusted by trump, his supporters and his enablers. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It doesn't help that Nigerians have managed to steal 100s of millions, from Washington State unemployment. https://www.google.com/amp/s/ktla.com/news/nationworld/hundreds-of-millions-in-fraudulent-unemployment-benefits-paid-in-washington-state-official-says/amp/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shore up security. End of discussion. What's the other answer? "Oh noes, people steal money sometimes, let's end the existence of money!"
