Just say you play racquetball. No one can prove you can't, since no one has played racquetball since 1987.

They hit a ball that bounced off the ground so it's obviously cricket aka European baseball.

The retaining wall was attached to the ground by those green plants you see giving up in the first third of a second.

Those saplings in front did a pretty good job of slowing it down just enough to keep it in one piece as it slams into the ground.

I saw this elsewhere, and have modified the original post to remove rah-rah democrats poo poo, but it's an accurate review of the last 50-ish years of executive office criminality. I think Manafort's going to prison.

quote:

Obama (D) – 8 yrs in office. Zero criminal indictments, zero convictions and zero prison sentences.

Bush, George W. (R) – 8 yrs in office. 16 criminal indictments. 16 convictions. 9 prison sentences.

Clinton (D) – 8 yrs in office. 2 criminal indictments. One conviction. One prison sentence.

Bush, George H. W. (R) – 4 yrs in office. One indictment. One conviction. One prison sentence.

Reagan (R) – 8 yrs in office. 26 criminal indictments. 16 convictions. 8 prison sentences.

Carter (D) – 4 yrs in office. One indictment. Zero convictions and zero prison sentences.

Ford (R) – 4 yrs in office. One indictment and one conviction. One prison sentence.

Nixon (R) – 6 yrs in office. 76 criminal indictments. 55 convictions. 15 prison sentences.

Johnson (D) – 5 yrs in office. Zero indictments. Zero convictions. Zero prison sentences.

So, let’s see where that leaves us. In the last 53 years, Democrats have been in the Oval Office for 25 of those years, while Republicans held it for 28. In their 25 yrs in office Democrats had a total of three executive branch officials indicted with one conviction and one prison sentence. That’s one whole executive branch official convicted of a crime in two and a half decades of Democrat leadership.

In the 28 yrs that Republicans have held office over the last 53 yrs they have had a total of (a drum roll would be more than appropriate), 120 criminal indictments of executive branch officials. 89 criminal convictions and 34 prison sentences handed down. That’s more prison sentences than years in office since 1968 for Republicans. If you want to count articles of impeachment as indictments (they aren’t really but we can count them as an action), both sides get one more. However, Clinton wasn’t found guilty while Nixon resigned and was pardoned by Ford (and a pardon carries with it a legal admission of guilt on the part of the pardoned). So those only serve to make Republicans look even worse.

I hate to be that guy (I'm going to be that guy), but without the context of why they were indicted, it's really hard to determine if someone got indicted for say drunk driving or being a corrupt sack of poo poo.

(I know it's mostly the latter but still)

I could paste the sources if you're curious. I didn't read them myself, at this point, so I hear what you're getting at and couldn't offer a response right now.

Another piece of schadenfreude related to Manafort: one of the other campaign advisers made a plea bargain with Mueller. The first flip is upon us!
