I mean to be fair this is all completely irrelevant to the question of whether the money was legitimate and whether he paid his taxes on it. It makes me fear that the prosecutors aren't playing this well and we'll end up with a Bundy like jury nullification.

I assume (hope) they're showing that he had X amount of money on his tax returns while he was spending even more in a given year.

A guy in my SERE stick somehow managed it. Some radio show also held a contest "Hold Your Wee to Win a Wii" and some poor mother died from it years back, I believe.

I remember that, the radio hosts got in deep poo poo because a nurse called in to warn them and they laughed it off. And yeah she died, poor family.

I don't care if they like the censorship, the good caused by not letting fascists speak in the first place outstrips the bad of muzzling them. If all you have to say is how much you hate everybody not like you then there's not much to say.

I would like to observe the mental gymnastics the evangelicals would go through in a paralel dimension where it did happen though.

We do Remembrance day here in Aus, and it's the most solemn day on the calendar, with a minute of silence at 11:11. It remains true to its intent, and is a good example of what a day of remembrance should be.

Unlike Anzac day, which has become a politicised national day of making GBS threads on the left by nationalists and conservatives seeking to co-opt what used to be a day of remembrance of the time the UK wasted 2000 of us by throwing us against a couple companies of Ottoman machine gunners.

Everyone involved is dead, so it's become corrupted by people who claim to speak for them.

I guess you guys have your own version of "SUPPORT ARE TROOPS" too.

Kind of figured, it's a weird historical case that I imagine some politicians might drag up every now and then to score points about "Australia first" or something like that, merits or demerits of the case notwithstanding.

I have to agree though, the more I learn about Australia it sounds like America with cooler accents and crazier animals.

Oleg Gordievsky was a KGB defector who wrote three books about how kooky they were in the 80s under Andropov as well.

The excuse explanation, as always, is the electoral college. When a voter in a GOP stronghold state is worth far, far more per electoral vote than a voter in, say, California, it's always going to be an uphill battle for the blue candidate.
