  1. The first link goes to a report on MSNBC written by the editor of the Daily Signal. Hardly an impartial source. And when it comes to testimony that supports his beliefs, he's completely unskeptical. As for the second it's document released by the Republican majority on the Committee. It reports the claims of the witnesses as though they were uncontested. Again, entirely skeptical. Finally, I saw no reference in either source to anything about the agents being denied access to the laptop. And why would it matter? Aren't the contents out in the public domain already?
  2. It's about the judge taking the rare step of keeping jurors anonymous in the E. Jean Carroll case.
  3. Sure. People who make it their business to win elections are wrong and you're right. And, per usual, you provide 0 confirmable evidence.
  4. You got evidence to back that up. Or are you citing from the "The Journal of Because I Said So"?
  5. Others might say that but since repeated investigations found no evidence of significant abuse, it's clear that those others are touting baseless conspiracy theories.
  6. In fact very few rioters were charged for any thing like insurrection. But it is a very serious crime to attempt to violently interfere with the Constitutionally mandated transfer of power.
  7. One-off threats that resulted in no record of any ensuing threats. And, correct me if I'm wrong, but their threats weren't a response to them facing investigation and prosecution for suspected criminal activity, were they?
  8. Well, if nobody is claiming his findings are false, maybe that's because no one would waste their time challenging an investigation conducted by a loon. In addition, is it known that any conclusive evidence of criminality has been found on the laptop? Sleaziness is not a crime.
  9. "The normal situation has the prosecution working for the state/the people in trying to show evidence of guilt, while the defence tries to get their client off." So plea-bargaining is abnormal. Wow! I thought plea-bargaining was a major feature of how the Justice Dept settles prosecutions. Apparently, not. As for Garret Ziegler: Former Trump White House aide who met with January 6 panel attacks witnesses, lawmakers in profane and sexist rant He also accused the January 6 House select committee of being “anti-White,” without any evidence. (The nine-member panel is led by Rep. Bennie Thompson, a Mississippi Democrat, who is Black.) “They’re Bolsheviks,” Ziegler said in the stream, referring to the far-left communists who led the Soviet Union, “so, they probably do hate the American founders and most White people in general. This is a Bolshevistic anti-White campaign. If you can’t see that, your eyes are freaking closed." https://www.cnn.com/2022/07/20/politics/garrett-ziegler-rant/index.html Ziegler then went on to complain he was seen by the committee to be a young Christian and easily scared. Clearly, he's a loon.
  10. I can still recall how right wingers claimed that the Justice Dept. had been weaponized in the Trump campaign - Russia investigation. The Inspector General's investigation found no bias lay behind the investigation. William Barr, the AG who lied about the Mueller report, publicly disagreed with that finding and launched a separate investigation. His choice to lead the investigation, John Durham, also publicly disagreed with the IG's report when it was issued. William Barr gave Durham extraordinary support, even accompanying him on a trip to Europe to gather evidence. After 31/2 years what evidence did Durham find of bias? None. You can possibly cherry-pick a few comments from Stacy Abrams. But did she ever claim that the actual election count was fraudulent? I'll save you the trouble of looking that up. No, she didn't.
  11. Right. Absolutely no precedent to support Pornchop's claim that jurors could face death threats in a Trump trial. Donald Trump's jurors on his rape trial have been granted anonymity to avoid death threats Jurors set to sit on Donald Trump's civil rape trial have been granted anonymity to avoid receiving any potential death threats from his supporters... In a very unusual move, all jurors will be totally protected to avoid any scrutiny they could face over the high-profile case... When announcing the decision, District Court Judge Lewis Kaplan said: "It bears mention that Mr Trump repeatedly has attacked courts, judges, various law enforcement officials and other public officials, and even individual jurors in other matters." https://www.express.co.uk/news/us/1750292/donald-trump-jurors-death-threats-dxus Anonymous jurors’ names to remain secret from Trump and E. Jean Carroll in civil rape case, judge cites threats to Trump’s criminal case judge Within hours of his criminal court arraignment last week, Trump singled out State Supreme Court Judge Juan Merchan and his relatives at a Mar-a-Lago speech, alleging their involvement in an unfounded Democratic conspiracy. Trump’s comments came after Merchan appealed to his lawyers in front of him in court, asking him to tone down recent rhetoric that could lead to civil unrest or violence. The Daily News reported Friday that those comments came amid a flood of death threats against Merchan, mirroring ones against Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg, whom Trump has also attacked online. https://archive.ph/yWMbh https://www.nydailynews.com/new-york/nyc-crime/ny-e-jean-carroll-donald-trump-civil-rape-case-nyc-20230410-ysk4yaprpnby3o5r6s3wwyf74y-story.html
  12. There may be a reason for the post seeming like nonsense to you other than it allegedly being nonsense.
  13. Talk about setting up a straw man? Did you actually read the article? Not once in the article did it refer to the color of water. (although if it did, you would have to be willfully ignorant not to get the point). Not once. . Whereas the color of the ocean is mentioned many times in the article. "The color of the ocean has changed significantly over the last 20 years" More than 56% of the world’s oceans have changed color" Tropical oceans close to the equator in particular have become greener The color of the ocean is derived from the materials whereas a green color means there are ecosystems there", The researchers monitored changes in ocean color They used data from the Aqua satellite which has been monitoring ocean color changes" And by the way, water does have a color. Water Color "... water is in fact not colorless; even pure water is not colorless, but has a slight blue tint to it, best seen when looking through a long column of water. The blueness in water is not caused by the scattering of light, which is responsible for the sky being blue. Rather, water blueness comes from the water molecules absorbing the red end of the spectrum of visible light." https://www.usgs.gov/special-topics/water-science-school/science/water-color#:~:text=The water is in fact,for the sky being blue.
  14. Thanks for making it clear that it's pointless to supply you with information.
  15. I just hope Republicans running for office loudly offer that claim.
  16. You would have to prove that by citing actual evidence you viewed. You know, independent proof.
  17. If a doctor proposes a course of treatment for you, would a rational person go to an engineer for a second opinion?
  18. If I supply the link to Hannity will you concede their case has fizzled?
  19. Just saying no isn't enough. If you don't provide a rationale why it's not, then I'm not obliged to explain further.
  20. Republicans, conservatives point fingers within “yes” coalition after State Issue 1 goes down in flames COLUMBUS, Ohio — Victory has many fathers while failure is an orphan, the saying goes. But there’s been no shortage of scapegoats floated by Ohio Republicans and conservatives this week as they look to explain why voters overwhelmingly rejected State Issue 1 earlier this week. https://www.cleveland.com/news/2023/08/republicans-conservatives-point-fingers-within-yes-coalition-after-state-issue-1-goes-down-in-flames.html
  21. Of course my comment was baseless. And just as worthless as yours about Biden. That was the point.
