Boy that was a quick and concise description. mspart

See there you go again. Supporting Hamas. mspart

Yeah, judges in NY are not allowed to make political donations. Yet Merchan did. Also, he presided over other Trump allies' trials. The assigning of a judge is supposed to be random. Obviously not. They found the judge that they needed who illegally donated to Biden and democrats. And the assignment was not random. Even from that standpoint, this trial was a farce. Not to mention that no one still knows what was actually alleged and what the jurors came up with to convict on all counts. https://www.foxnews.com/media/cnn-legal-guru-says-new-york-trump-prosecutors-contorted-law-case-unjustified-mess Even CNN legal analyst Elie Honig did not agree with the premise of the trial. I'll leave it to you to read the article. It is not universally accepted that the trial was proper or fair. mspart

It can't be done. Water is see through you know. mspart

Use duckduckgo. Maybe you will get different results. mspart

First of many no doubt! mspart

So what you want is for Israel to go in and physically separate the civilians from the Hamas insurgents before killing the insurgents. Is that correct? And how would you propose to do that? It is even Israel's fault when it is Hamas' fault (recent 45 civilians die due to Hamas ammo warehouse exploding in a civilian area). If IDF forces hid behind Gaza civilians you would howl and scream that they are breaking international law. But you complain with Hamas does the same and civilians die in the process. There is no howling and screaming. You can't see the difference here I'm sure. But you can certainly say that IDF forces could use Gazan human shields the same that Hamas does. The difference is that IDF doesn't do that. But Hamas is not at fault for doing so. It is IDFs fault for targeting Hamas operatives and civilians die because the operatives use them as shields. Your position is logically illogical and makes no sense. If I was a civilian, I'd stay away from Hamas at all costs. Let them die. I don't want to die. Which begs another question that you don't bother to ask and I would be surprised if you would even come up with it. It follows and is a very easy point/question to come up with with the above line of reasoning. mspart

If ultra processed foods are not bad for me, what about just simple processed foods? Or Moderately processed foods? mspart

Methinks he doth protest too much. mspart

Perhaps, but to use the judicial system? That is taking it too far. Beat him at the ballot box. Then they can gloat. mspart

And you know this is true how? mspart

I did say you are free to deduce from that what you will. It looks like you deduced. mspart

I think the Patriots would disagree with you as Neal was highly skilled and was part of the wall of protection for the QB. It took him some time to get there, but he had played football before, so he at least had a small head start. Gable not so much but I hope he can transition. That would be a great story. mspart

Actually I remember the guys listed in bold. And I really don't pay much attention to basketball. mspart

Yes, wishing him the best. He has a 3 year contract. So he has time to get the skills he will need to continue on. Stephen Neal took a while to get there but became integral to the Patriots offensive line. Perhaps he and Gable will speak to each other. mspart

I'm not sure what you are getting at UB. The missile landed somewhere other than where Hamas said it did. So your wonderful Hamas lied. The conversation that was recorded verifies that the missile was small and they were wondering why the secondary explosions in the warehouse. You are free to deduce from that what you will. mspart

You could ask the Palestinans caught ont he phone that I mentioned. That is part of the article I posted on this. They were on the phone discussing this and said quote: “Yes, this is an ammunition warehouse. I tell you it exploded. The Jewish bombing wasn’t strong, it was a small missile, because it didn’t create a large hole. And afterward a lot of secondary explosions,” one of the Palestinians is heard saying in the call. Also provided in that post was an annotated photo of the area where the missile actually fell and where Hamas said it fell. As with the other time there was an accusation, it turns out there was a malfunctioning Hamas rocket and caused a large explosion. Again, Palestinians (Hamas) were caught on phone wondering how this happened and stating it was a malfunction. I'm not saying there was a malfunction, but I am saying the Israeli missile did not hit that target. It hit another target some distance away. The fault for the explosion of the depot killing those people is the fault of Hamas for placing the depot where civilians are known to be. You can try to say otherwise, but you are not looking at what really happened. You are depending on Hamas to tell you the correct story and you can see they did not regarding where the missile landed. So why would you trust them anymore on this? It is demonstrable that they lied about the missile , but then tell the truth? It can't be both ways. mspart

I think S Lee is the bad draw and I think he feels so also. I hope he wrestles that way. mspart

I take it you don't like Trump. I'm just getting that vibe. mspart

If Alabama is in the hunt, I go for them. Didn't know softball was going on. Not a fan but Roooooooollllllll Tide!!! mspart

I'm glad you like me. I guess we will have to agree to disagree. mspart

Cohen's big lie about calling the Trump's security guard to discuss the payments backfired when it was shown he was complaining to the guard about some 14 year old harassing him and can he get secret service to do anything about it. The whole case on the prosecution side was hilarious. Their witnesses ended up not saying what the prosecution wanted them to say or admit on cross that things were actually quite different. Even folks on MSNBC are wondering what the heck Bragg is doing. https://dailycaller.com/2024/05/27/msnbc-alvin-bragg-donald-trump-acquittal/ Former Department of Justice spokesman Anthony Coley said prosecutors should be concerned that the presence of two lawyers on former President Donald Trump’s jury could contribute to an acquittal. The panel of 12 jurors includes a young corporate law attorney and a civil litigation attorney in the trial pertaining to Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg’s allegations Trump falsified business documents to conceal a payment to porn star Stormy Daniels. Coley on “Jonathan Lemire Reports” said the lawyers on the jury may overthink the case and have an outsized influence on other jurors, which could hurt the prosecution. Now why would that be I wonder? Because maybe lawyers can see through all the shenigans? The case was not strong is what the legal analyst is saying. mspart

Evidence is showing that surprise!!!!! Hamas lied about the 45 civilians being killed. It looks like it was their own weapons depot that exploded. The IDF attack was too small and far away. Even Palestininas were caught on a phone call saying the same. Too small of an explosion and after that one, there were secondary explosions in the warehouse (depot). See previous posts on this. Plus the weapons depot was in an area where there are many civilians. Hamas put these poor souls in danger by locating their depot near innnocent bystanders. But please go on saying Israel murdered 45 civilians on the word of Hamas. They are unreliable in reporting accuracy as you should well know. mspart

I would like to believe you. But my eyes tell me a different story. The legal system is being used to damage a political enemy. DOJ did not go after Trump for these charges. Alvin Bragg ran his campaign to get Trump no matter what. He was not willing to do this either at the beginning, nor was his predecessor. But he finally did bring this case just in time to run right into the election. I would like to believe you but my eyes tell me a different story. I would like the criminal justice system to be blind. But it is apparent it is not. That's why the vague charges. The inability for the parties to give jury instructions regarding the allegations that made any sense. https://news.syr.edu/blog/2024/04/16/pitch-legal-analysis-of-hush-money-trial-facing-former-president-donald-trump/ District Attorney Bragg’s indictment charges Trump with 34 felony counts, each of which relates to a business record disguising a payment made to Cohen as attorney fees. The indictment alleges that Trump disguised the payments with intent to cover up another crime. But the indictment does not say what that other crime is. ... I believe the District Attorney must show (1) that the payments were disguised as attorney fees to commit a fraud on someone, (2) that the underlying payments constituted an independent crime, (3) that Trump knew that the underlying payments constituted a crime, and (4) that the reason he covered up the payments was to disguise that crime. Those are going to be hard things to prove. Judge Merchan’s summary of the case for the jury glosses over all of these difficult statutory questions. After being unable to get the parties to agree on the language of a statement to be read to the jurors to describe what the case is about, Judge Merchan decided to read the following statement to the jurors to summarize the case: “The allegations reflect in substance, that Donald Trump falsified business records to conceal an agreement with others to unlawfully influence the 2016 presidential election. Specifically, it is alleged that Donald Trump made or caused false business records to hide the true nature of payments made to Michael Cohen, by characterizing them as payment for legal services rendered pursuant to a retainer agreement. The People allege that in fact, the payments were intended to reimburse Michael Cohen for money he paid to Stephanie Clifford, also known as Stormy Daniels, in the weeks before the presidential election to prevent her from publicly revealing details about a past sexual encounter with Donald Trump.” Judge Juan Merchan’s statement fails to explain when it is a crime to “unlawfully influence” an election? Obviously, all politicians attempt to influence voters to vote for them. Politicians regularly misstate facts and fail to disclose facts during their campaign. The law has never allowed members of the public or the government to bring claims for fraud against politicians who make misleading or even downright false statements; indeed our laws broadly protect campaign speech under the First Amendment. The judge could not even clearly state the issue and left out very important things like when is the allegation represent a crime to unlawfully influence an election. But I don't need to justify myself to you. You won't buy it. But I would like to believe what you say about the justice system, I am just not seeing it. You have DA's like Bragg that don't prosecute crimes (we had/have that here is Seattle), and allow criminals on the street to keep stealing and assaulting. We have too many examples of this. We have examples of Hillary and Joe with similar crimes to Trump not getting prosecuted but Trump is with tampered and placed evidence which is the subject of hearing in that court right now. Selective prosecution is a thing and it is being done all over the country, but to have 4 cases against Trump during the election is manifestly political in nature. You may not see it but I do. And I don't even like him. I wanted DeSantis for President. But this is eggregious in nature. The system has been corrupted to go after political enemies and the press does not call it out even though it is plain to see. I want the justice system to be fair and impartial but that is not what I see happening. mspart
