First my hearing is just about shot so I always need captions. since this has been the case it wasn’t difficult for me to start watching Foreign movies. I put Korean movies at the very top of the Class ratings for the Planet!!

They are like our movies used to be! No skin at ALL!! and when actors kiss there is never any tongue... just a side shot of lips touching if not blocked out by one of the actors cheek. and STILL bring out every emotion you can have. Im 53 and cant tell you how many times I was quite misty!!

raising my kids watching them was a good time. They improved their reading and were riveted to the programs!! “Boys of Flowers” and “City Hunter” they must have watched 30 times.

The movies are great. check em out some time!!

Others thought Trump would buy some more time

I was one of those. I figured we would get 4 more years of Trump, a republican senate and a slightly dem house, along with 2 SC justice appointments in the 2nd term followed by the eventual pendulum swing back to a dem president.

Unfortunately; it doesn't look like a 2nd term is going to happen barring a miracle, and President Trump was only a speed bump for the establishment, deep state.

I am eternally grateful to President Trump for being the fighter that he is, and what he accomplished in 4 years. The republican party without Trump is dead.

Highly unlikely that we see another republican president after Trump for decades, if ever.

quote:

Supreme Court must throw out ALL mail in ballots and only count in-person voting and verifiable absentee ballots.

Absentee ballots = real person requested and received.

Mail-in Ballots = Donald Duck and Mickey Mouse on the voter rolls get a ballot which the local BLM fill out and mail in.

Mail-in ballots are a violation of the constitution. Mail in ballots are equivalent to a “twitter survey”. A mail-in ballot is a ‘ballot’, not a ‘vote’.

Votes are in person verifiable ID and absentee verifiable request with ID – A constitutionally protected VOTE. Everything else is unprotected BS and SC must throw them out in EVERY state. Most expeditiously, in the swing states.

Here's a list of crimes on LA's new DA's do-not-prosecute list

quote:

As of Tuesday, many misdemeanor cases will be declined or dismissed prior to arraignment unless "factors for considerations" exist. The list of offenses includes trespassing, disturbing the peace, a minor in possession of alcohol, driving without a license, driving with a suspended license, making criminal threats, drug and paraphernalia possession, being under the influence of a controlled substance, public intoxication, loitering to commit prostitution and resisting arrest.

quote:

To: SJackson

I’m frankly quite happy that “resisting arrest” is no longer being prosecuted as a stand-alone charge by an increasing number of district attorneys including a few Republicans.

In the absence of a charge justifying an arrest why should anyone be arrested at all?

Most of the time you see this charge on its own it’s what’s called a “contempt of cop” charge where a cop is 100% wrong on why they stopped someone and instead of letting it go they come up with a BS charge just to harass someone.

Taking video of the police? You’re resisting arrest.

Refusing to let the police enter and search your house without a warrant? You’re resisting arrest.

The cops mistake you for someone else and they attack you and beat the sh!t out of you before they discover they have the wrong person? You’re resisting arrest.

Legally carrying a firearm in a Democrat controlled town and the police stop you and illegally seize your firearm? You’re resisting arrest.

Yeah, I’m glad this particular charge is getting tossed out. It’s long overdue.
