Is that distance based on, as the crow flies? Does Google earth compensate and adjusts distances for those ups and downs in the walks of life? Or is the ground you walk on completely flat, besides holy?

Wales has an undulating landscape so the ups and downs must make my walking distance that little further which sounds good to me. I attempt short jogs up the hills with my dog which is kinder on ageing knees.

Wajoma is your libertarian justice brigade coming down hard on these protestors?

You cute little guy in your bubble, wondering why you can't see anything.

"Destroying property is not a peaceful protest, it’s against the law. Vandalism, trespassing, breaking windows, shutting down campuses, forcing the cancellation of classes and graduation. None of this is a peaceful protest, threatening people, intimidating people. Dissent is essential to democracy, but dissent must never lead to disorder. Order must prevail."

- Joe Biden

Now go back to your safe space.

How Far Trump Would Go

Please take the time to follow the link and read this Time article about what we can expect in Trump's second term. If you're going to read the article, bookmark it and come back to it if you can't finish it. It's that important.

The article was the result of two interviews with Trump himself over two days at Mar-a-Lago.

Quite telling, and quite scary. America needs to know just what is coming, so we can take steps to avoid it.

We keep hearing about how this election or that election is "the most important election in our nation's history", but this one really is. From the article: "Every election is billed as a national turning point. This time that rings true. To supporters, the prospect of Trump 2.0, unconstrained and backed by a disciplined movement of true believers, offers revolutionary promise. To much of the rest of the nation and the world, it represents an alarming risk. A second Trump term could bring “the end of our democracy,” says presidential historian Douglas Brinkley, “and the birth of a new kind of authoritarian presidential order.”"

Wow this thread goes back to 2012.

Quite a few old names on those early pages.

Indeed! Even Robbie is in this one!

@AverageJoe1
What do you mean WE white man? YOU are already convinced there is no crime and if he is convicted it just proves to you how corrupt the court is AND how corrupt the Jury is even though there are republicans on the jury as well, they must have all been bought off, right?

@AverageJoe1
AOC would be a REAL president unlike your POS FPOTUS now on trial in a number of courts. She would be head and shoulder better than your shyte for leadership god whom you worship above whatever religion you used to believe in, now replaced with the Trumpite religion. How many Trump bibles did you buy to give to your friends?

And yet a sweeping generalization falls with one counter-example.

EDIT: They are forced immediately into a "No True Scotsman" fallacy.

One know this, why are you hassling over it?

they didn't ever said absolutely all muslims cut heads all the time so you counter it "look, one muslim managed to go through an entire dinner without cutting MY head"

common man

"EDIT: They are forced immediately into a "No True Scotsman" fallacy."
you think they are forced to anything just because you talked about a dinner you had one afternoon with one muslim family?

"One know this, why are you hassling over it?"
why do you think i am hassling you? you used an anecdote to prove a point i told you it's wrong. i finally have someone normal to talk to on this forum, why are you hassling ME?

“Enter through the narrow gate. For wide is the gate and broad is the road that leads to destruction, and many enter through it. But small is the gate and narrow the road that leads to life, and only a few find it."

Damn! The Brits have had so many talented musicians since the early 60s which allowed them to outpace the competition. Musically, it was the beginning of another world-wide British Empire.

President Biden on Thursday addressed the intensifying pro-Palestinian protests at American colleges, telling reporters that "dissent is essential for democracy" but that "dissent must never lead to disorder."

"There's the right to protest but not the right to cause chaos," Biden said of the protests, which have seen more than 2,000 arrests nationwide. His remarks at the White House were the first since April 22, when he made brief comments to reporters.

“In moments like this, there are always those who rush in to score political points. But this isn’t a moment for politics. It’s a moment for clarity. So let me be clear. Violent protest is not protected, peaceful protest is,” Biden said.

Seems long, but worth the read, and will definitely have you all seeing the light. This is basically what Marauder has omitted from his opening. Libs never close posts.
There is no crime. Even Goes far enough to show that should the jury find guilty, a reverse will be a no-brainer.

Complements of AvJoe.

LMAO! The only times Gregg Jarrett has appeared in a court room on official legal business AFAIK in the last 40 years or so was to plead guilty to Disorderly Conduct for being a loud, belligerent drunk in a Minneapolis airport. https://apnews.com/article/30462bd1b590434bb2175ea54f83a404

So you can accept his "legal analysis" or you might want to actually read Judge Merchan's (who has over 30 years experience in NY as a prosecutor and judge) February 14, 2024 decision declining to dismiss the indictment. https://casetext.com/case/people-v-trump-20

I meant hassling over the point, not hassling me. I'm sorry if that did not come across.

AvJoe's slanderous innuendos are open-ended. He paints with a broad brush.

He posed a question: 'tell us what we can learn...' and my answer was that those accusations don't line up with my experience - an experience I doubt AvJoe has actually had, btw.

"I meant hassling over the point, not hassling me. I'm sorry if that did not come across."
tried a joke, don't worry about it

"AvJoe's slanderous innuendos are open-ended. He paints with a broad brush."
i know.

"He posed a question: 'tell us what we can learn...' and my answer was that those accusations don't line up with my experience - an experience I doubt AvJoe has actually had, btw."
i have several years of the experience that is joe. he is a vicious, small minded pathetic little man. I concede the point, answer him however you want. Won't matter anyway and this exchange between you and I was forced just because i wanted a debate with a reasonable person. Not the lunatics still left in this asylum of a forum.

We will have other opportunities to debate, if you don't run screaming in a few weeks.

Merchans was bound by his oath rules of the court, etc to recuse himself. You know that. He did not, and so has no credibility with me and many other people. So why would I read anything he writes, especially given the fact of his bias, which has been proven.

No, he was not and recusal motions by Trump in the case have been repeatedly denied both by Judge Merchan and higher courts. https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/crime/the-motion-is-denied-appeals-court-once-again-refuses-to-pause-trump-s-ongoing-hush-money-trial-over-allegations-judge-acted-in-excess-of-his-jurisdiction/ar-AA1nXbAx
