I know all that and the verdict of the judge and jury still controls all, whether criminal or civil. And do you want resolution of something like an accusation of rape and all it’s implications dependent on a mere preponderance of evidence? That is a green light for a legal lynching and every innocent person ensnared in t…

If this occured as you stated, isn’t it obligatory on someone to inform law enforcement and for there to be a criminal trial, not just a civil trial?

The incident occurred 30 years ago and it was a different world for women back then, well before Me Too. I think implying that she (who else?) should have filed charges b…[Read more]

One of my nephews was suffering due to having been dumped and I had to deliver the bad news: Every relationship you’ll ever have will end badly, except maybe for the one you are in now or the one after that.

So, you’re saying that European Jews moved into Palestine and created Israel through individual economically fair and uncoerced land purchases at something like actual market value.

Got proof. And not a picture of just one receipt. One can’t tell from a receipt whether a transaction was done under duress.

Kamala Harris consistently warned about the potential consequences of a Donald Trump presidency. During her 2024 campaign, she emphasized the dangers she believed Trump posed to American democracy and governance.

In October 2024, Harris delivered a speech near the White House, at the same location where Trump had addressed supporters before the…[Read more]

Unseen, She didn’t say shit about what would happen. She just cackled in between bong hits that she sentenced hundreds of others to prison time for partaking. Krunk Kackling Kammie.

The European Jews bought land in Israel? From whom? In freely negotiated transactions. You got any receipts to show?

Saying that creating a refuge from genocide and persecution was a mistake is not some “nuanced” taste on a par with smooth vs. crunchy peanut butter as a side to serve with the cucumber sandwiches with the crust cut off. Some things are black and white.
