  1. Nno one was supposed to touch those boxes. So maybe this guy just moves boxes around for fun and on his own inititiative removed them from the storage area. That might even sound likely to some. At least to the kind of person who thinks it's rational to assume that he probably moves boxes every day.
  2. You mean as BritManToo put it. I was just following his wise lead. You and he do seem to share a belief that a wall is the crucial component in keeping illegal drugs out of America,
  3. And the situation would change very little if they didn't. So what's the point? Is that the crucial fraction that America's continuing victory against drug smuggling depends on?
  4. Anti-semitic words.
  5. Logically speaking, they oughtn't to be anti-Semitic. Since when has logic figured into the thinking of America's extreme right? Doug Mastriano, a Christian nationalist Republican candidate for governor of Pennsylvania criticized his Jewish opponent for sending his kids to a"privileged, elite school" that revealed "his disdain for people like us". The school just happens to be a Yeshiva. And Mastriano actually supports states giving parents money to pay for private schools. Marjorie Taylor-Green accused space lasers funded by the Rothschilds of starting forest fires. There's plenty more.. As for the left being anti-Israel, first off being critical, even sharply critical of Israel, in itself is not being anti-semitic. Israel is not Judiasm. Judiasm is not Israel. Of course, if critics of Isreal use ancient slurs about Jews to support their criticism, that's a different matter..
  6. I went to my account setting to see if it was something I could fix but I found nothing, Has spellcheck been disabled?
  7. Oh, no. The United States has been under invasion for about 100 years now. Wow, a Hundred Years War taking place right under the noses of Americans. And those invaders are destroying America by building houses, preparing food, milking cows and harvesting vegetables. America is doomed!
  8. Again with the predictions as some kind of argument. The hallmark of intellectual emptiness.
  9. It's so weird that there is so much unambiguous hard physical evidence, actual government documents that can be touched and held . that show Trump violated the law are derided, but a series of emails unbacked by any hard evidence, and a witness who claims were discounted by a media source owned by Rupert Murdoch, are overwhelmingly convincing for some.
  10. The lie being that he didn't move the documents. Maybe to you it seems likely that those documents would be removed from the storage area without Trump's express orders.
  11. Let's try this again: What does this tell you?
  12. The reason it's been 20 months or so is that NARA bent over backwards trying not to make a criminal case out of it. It was only when it learned that there were highly sensitive documents among Trump's trove that the DOJ was asked to investigate. And unless you're denying that these were govt documents, there already is prima facie evidence of a crime. And if you don't believe me, consult the decision of the panel of the 11th Court of Appeals which noted that Trump's arguments about the status of the documents in contention was a red herring since there is no way that the sensitive documents in question - whether or not he had declassified them - could in any way be considered personal. You know someone has got nothing when they start invoking predictions to bolster their arguments. You've got nothing.
  13. As I pointed out, your article is strangely focussed on California. and you are still strangely focussed on California. Why not take your inquiries a step further and find out what other states Lake Mead might be supplying water to?
  14. Well, I think it's fair to judge him by the clueless company he keeps.
  15. If you're talking porn, courts have carved out exceptions for that. What harmful things are you referring to?
  16. It certainly sounds credible given that there is video footage of the boxes containing the documens and the witness subsequently acknowledged that he had handled the documents after denying that at first.
  17. I got that information from the original article on which the report is based. That said, I did misconstrue it. The report doesn't say that the witness changed his testimony because of the videos. But the videos do confirm that items were removed from the storage area after the DOJ after Trump received a subpoena from the DOJ. "A Trump employee has told federal agents about moving boxes of documents at Mar-a-Lago at the specific direction of the former president, according to people familiar with the investigation, who say the witness account — combined with security-camera footage — offers key evidence of Donald Trump’s behavior as investigators sought the return of classified material. The witness description and footage described to The Washington Post offer the most direct account to date of Trump’s actions and instructions leading up to the FBI’s Aug. 8 search of the Florida residence and private club, in which agents were looking for evidence of potential crimes including obstruction, destruction of government records or mishandling classified information." https://www.washingtonpost.com/national-security/2022/10/12/maralago-witness-trump-boxes-moved/
  18. The witness did not say the boxes were moved to Mar a Lago. The boxes were in Mar a Lago. The location was shifted from the storage area to Trump's quarters. Material marked classified was found in Trump's residence. Now, if that material didn't come from those boxes, that would mean that it comes from other sources that haven't been located yet. Which jibes with reports that it's believed by the govt that Trump is still holding onto documents that don't belong to him. And as I pointed out, and you pointedly ignore, the witness changed their story after being confronted with video evidence. Calling something lame and laughable doesn't make it so.
  19. Your comment is strangely focussed on southern California. FYI, Southern California is not in for a drought. It's in the middle of one. But actually the drought is far worse in the Southwest where Lake Mead is actually located. It's being called a Megadrought. Worse than any drought for the last 1000+ years. And as for electricity, you'll be saddened to learn that Lake Mead also supplies Arizona, Nevada, and parts of Mexico with electricity. Sp, perhaps a lack of electricity there as well.
  20. They have already found what's in the boxes. Government property. Including highly sensitive documents. Try to keep up. The witness changed his story after he was made acquainted with videos of the storage area. You're really going to contest the evidentiary value of videos showing the act in progress?
  21. 'Most of us know"? Really? Since when did you become the authority on the beliefs of most people in regard to this? It's a blatantly anti-Semitic comment written by someone who has lots of admirers on the political right.
  22. That's good to know. Then I guess you have no problem with public schools using texts that acknowledge the existence of gay people and offering books in their libraries written by them. That said you qualified your comment by excepting comments that promote violence. What does "when I wake up I’m going death con 3 On JEWISH PEOPLE" sound like to you?
  23. The majority of the people in Donbas are ethnic Russians. They are not Russian nationals. It doesn't mean that just because they are ethnic Russians that they want their portion of Ukraine to become part of Russia. Of course, it is open to ethnic Russians to move to Russia should they so choose. They already have citizenship there. I doubt there would be many takers.
  24. So unfair to poor Kanye. It's not like he said anything blatantly anti-Semitic: Kanye West Locked Out Of Twitter After Post About Going 'Death Con 3 On Jewish People' “I’m a bit sleepy tonight but when I wake up I’m going death con 3 On JEWISH PEOPLE,” West wrote on Saturday night. “The funny thing is I actually can’t be Anti Semitic because black people are actually Jew also You guys have toyed with me and tried to black ball anyone whoever opposes your agenda.” https://sports.yahoo.com/kanye-west-tweet-going-death-162716427.html But at least those flag-waving Republicans who so vociferously support Israel had the courage to tell him off: REPUBLICANS CURIOUSLY SILENT ON KANYE WEST’S PLANS TO GO “DEATH CON 3 ON JEWISH PEOPLE” https://www.vanityfair.com/news/2022/10/kanye-west-jewish-people-death-con-3
