Also, I didn't see it discussed much upthread but; with Donnie admitting that he never had the Comey tapes, and then going on Fox And Friends saying that he said that to mute Comey's testimony- didn't he quite literally admit to witness tampering?

Sort of.

It was taxiing and a gust of wind blew it over.

It was also a familiarization flight, so some local sports star or reporter will forever fear flying. Hope the pilot and guest are okay.

It's actually pretty hard to get convicted of rape since USA courts put the burden of proof on the accuser+courts and DNA evidence usually doesn't count for much since the matter at hand is whether or not there was consent and often it's the victim's word vs. the defendant's word.

But don't worry, if he gets convicted of anything he'll be held accountable for all accusations levied against him. Source: daily conversations in which I explain to people that their (plea bargain'd) conviction means gently caress all.

It's really worth your time. Basically, by trying to not be political and ignoring the fat gently caress screaming about everything being rigged, it all became political and inertia won the day.

This story has been making the rounds of Joe Biden telling off a hedge funder that used Beau as a joke. Think of it as a pallette cleanser.

https://www.rawstory.com/2017/06/who-is-this-asshle-joe-biden-blasts-hedge-funder-who-disparaged-his-deceased-son-beau-during-public-event/


quote:

Biden — who has been especially close to his family since losing his wife and infant daughter in a 1972 car accident weeks before he was sworn into office as a senator — became emotional and ultimately said “I’m sorry … I’ve said enough.”

“Why? That’s never stopped you before!” Ackman blurted out.

That’s when things got tense, according to those present.

“Who is this assh*le?” Biden asked. “Look, I don’t know who you are, wise-rear end, but never disrespect the memory of my dead son!”

Sources say that Ackman tried to apologize but Biden stopped him, “just shut the hell up.”

Sources dispute the account, however, saying “Biden was in rare form,” and noted, “I can’t believe it has never leaked out.”

Both of them are responsible. The idea that somehow the actual officer lacks individual responsibility is part of the reason we're in the mess we are.
Responsibility and liability are not the same thing. In the case of non-criminal incompetence, it is appropriate that a civil servant's liability is limited to losing their job.

CommieGIR posted:

This makes no sense. The idea that you are somehow not liable for your actions is baffling, because most officers ARE held liable for their actions. Its literally what the UCMJ is about.

Uhh no Ackman has been tossing money down a billion dollar SHORT of herbalife for five years and counting now it's become one of the longest running epic billionaire dickwaving contests in history at this point.

Also since posting that I've learned herbalife hired Biden's chief of staff to be their communications director leading their defense against Ackman's efforts to tank the company and that might have been the impetus behind this douchery in the first place.

White House Says Trump Tweet Meets Comey Tapes Record Request

Trump lawyers claiming a Tweet rises to the standard of official White House communications. Which just digs the hole deeper regarding Trump getting rid of tweets he dislikes, but also super contemptuous of Congress.

This is like my students who think turning in a one line response to their writing partner an hour before the assignment is due is "good enough" to earn them full points. Glad to see Trump has hired attorneys that are at least as lazy as community college students.

asymptotically approaching one

It's pretty good. I still don't understand what IS is. It bugs the crap out of me. I grew up in the UK in an area that had a high Muslim population, I've lived in several as an adult. Loads of Muslim friends, some of whom I've had for decades. It almost feels like the whole thing has nothing to do with Islam at all. I've got no idea what the hell it is though.

Ah well, I don't have to care that much, the whole thing is pretty much getting terminated in every direction possible.
