Kamala Harris trolls Trump as he backs out of debate
GroveHillWanderer replied to shdmn's topic in Political Soapbox
Biden was only the presumptive nominee - and so is Harris. She already has enough delegates to carry the nomination, which is the same situation Biden was in. -
The "Chevron Deference" ruling for a start. As the Houston Chronicle puts it: Supreme Court's Thomas delivers for Texan Harlan Crow And you're wrong, no-one cares what colour his skin is, or his wife's - they care about the massive and undeclared (until he was found out) gifts that raise much more than simply the appearance of impropriety that all judges are supposed to avoid. Let alone Supreme Court justices.

You've got that completely backwards. The dictionary definitions (and it's not just the Oxford Dictionary) are based on the legal definitions used in courts everywhere - including in New York. Because in New York as elsewhere, convicted means found guilty by a court proceeding. The Cornell Law School (New York) definition says the same thing: Conviction

You seem to be ignoring the fact that after ProPublica revealed these "allegations," Thomas went back and amended his declarations to show gifts from Crow that he had previously omitted. So Thomas himself has confirmed that he received the gifts. As for others getting gifts, no other justice has received anywhere near the amount that Thomas has. Let America Vote

That's absolutely incorrect. The definition of "to convict" is: "declare (someone) to be guilty of a criminal offence by the verdict of a jury or the decision of a judge in a court of law." (Oxford Dictionary) As a jury found him guilty of 34 felony counts, he is most indubitably a convicted felon.

Biden wasn't the official nominee either, but Trump debated him. What's the difference? -
Duplicate post.

The passage you quoted in your earlier post is from one contributor and is by no means the majority view - and there's is definitely pushback. Here's what one poster wrote in reply. This post got 25 likes, whereas the post it was replying to got only 4 so it's clear which is the view that more of the contributors on that site favour.

Cyanide poisoning suspected in deaths of 6 Vietnamese nationals
GroveHillWanderer replied to webfact's topic in Bangkok News
Not so - seven rooms were booked but the seventh person did not check in and was already back in Vietnam before events unfolded, as stated in the other thread on this. -
Of course the DOJ will appeal this - Special Counsels have been a standard part of the US legal system for decades and as the Supreme Court stated in relation to the Nixon tapes subpoena, their appointment is wholly consistent with the US Constitution. United States v. Nixon, 418 U.S. 683 (1974) Furthermore, as stated in the article referenced in the OP:

Florida judge dismisses the Trump classified documents case
GroveHillWanderer replied to Social Media's topic in World News
This will be almost certainly be appealed to the 11th circuit, who have aleady reversed Judge Cannon twice. The appointment of special counsels had been settled law for decades. Multiple courts, up to and including the Supreme Court, have upheld their legality in the past. Of course if it gets as far as the current SCOTUS, who knows? What it does mean of course, is that there is absolutely no chance of this case ever getting to court before the Presidential election (not that there was really much chance of that happening anyway). -
It's an anonymous post on X from someone claiming to be a police sniper but as far as I can tell, with no confirmation that he is who he claims to be or that the sequence of events he describes, actually took place. Unless of course, you have evidence that you can give us?

Thai woman wins 9 million baht from UK bet
GroveHillWanderer replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
As about half a dozen people have already pointed out, there is no tax on gambling/lottery winnings in the UK so they don't need to move the money to avoid UK taxes. -
