First off, GENERAL Flynn's "admission" was coerced and, as such, is not legally viable..

Incorrect. He actually admitted to lying to the FBI. If he didn't lie to the FBI then he obviously lied to the judge to whom he confessed under oath... take your pick. Additionally, Flynn was also actually given the chance by the FBI to correct his perjured testimony... to which he refused.

Secondly, GENERAL Flynn's "lie" (if it actually occurred) was indeed, a PROCESS crime..

So first you insist that Flynn's admission was "coerced," and now you're quite content to question whether or not "it actually occurred." You're contradicting your own debate points; thank you so much for the assist.

Whereas Sussmann's lie was principal to the crime committed..

Incorrect. Durham was never investigating a suspected crime, and then when the statutes of limitation started expiring (like I already told you), Durham wrapped a conspiracy theory around a statement he claimed was false for which he had zero solid evidence... after months and months of Durham repeating those conspiracy theories at every chance he got, those same conspiracy theories that Durham had also already admitted would not amount to a crime in any case. The jury took very little time to inform Durham that he had bupkis for proof that a crime was committed and then informed him in no uncertain terms that the entire trial had been a waste of time and taxpayers' money:

Quoting the jury foreperson: "The government had the job of proving beyond a reasonable doubt. We broke it down…as a jury. It didn’t pan out in the government's favor."

Asked if she thought the prosecution was worthwhile, the foreperson stated: "Personally, I don't think it should have been prosecuted because I think we have better time or resources to use or spend to other things that affect the nation as a whole than a possible lie to the FBI. We could spend that time more wisely."

Allow me to dumb it down for you..

So you're saying you're going to sound even dumber than you already do? You needn't waste your time. It was me (and Russ) who already warned you it was a shitty case going nowhere, and you were also warned there was an issue of statute of limitations involved... because there was.

[snip] Not relevant.

So it is with Sussmann.. He was PART of the illegal conspiracy and LIED to further the illegal conspiracy.

Incorrect, but I agree you achieved your stated goal of sounding dumb. :D

Thanks, Kick! (waving)

*big grin and wave*

There is another poster here who desperately continues to insist that it was I who showed him how to use the blockquote feature; this is categorically and unequivocally false information.

So who was it?

You're the man, MtnCaddy! :)

We know how you feel about Kick showing you blockquote, Michale. We don't need to be reminded about it, anymore.

Especially since I never showed him; I showed MtnCaddy.

And, by the way, you are overusing blockquote, now, too. ;)

Heh. :)

Once again, I need to thank Kick for showing me the BLOCKQUOTE feature.. :D

So you're saying you're MtnCaddy? Because I definitely showed MtnCaddy. :)

It makes things so much nicer for everyone.. :D

I agree. It was definitely me that spent almost an entire day awhile back emulating your (old) "shitting all over the board" posting style in order to show how bad it would look if everyone did it. MtnCaddy begged me to stop so I did. ;)

I am ecstatic that you have finally conceded that not all killing is illegal..

Since you claim that abortion is killing, and you obviously know I'm pro choice, what's your excuse for this bullshit above? You might as well be admitting you're blind as a bat and simply have no ability whatsoever to connect the dots. Heh.

It's very gratifying that you finally see the facts.. :D

Not even a good try. :)

Make sure that your eyes don't roll right out of their sockets, okay? Heh.

You better be good!

And, remember the old adage ... absence makes all hearts grow fonder.

Also, try to stay on topic - if your comment doesn't have a single blessed thing to do with Chris's headlining piece, then do not hit the Submit Comment thingy. Rather put it underneath another previous headlining piece where it does match up with the daily topic ... or, just hold the urge.

Remember, there's always the FTP columns where the topic range is wider...well, except for Sunday nights where the topic is music, music and more music and nothing but music! :)

When following these simple rules there will be no need for anyone's eyes rolling out of their sockets and everyone will just feel better. You can trust me on this.

But hay.. It's ON TOPIC since Biden is mentioned quite a few times in the commentary and well... yunno... facts are facts..

White House worried about Jimmy Carter parallels to Biden presidency as approval rating remains low: report

The president will join Jimmy Kimmel on Wednesday for his first major interview in over 100 days
https://www.foxnews.com/media/white-house-biden-jimmy-carter-paralells-approval-rating-low

Jimmy Carter is ECSTATIC about Joe Biden...

Jimmy Carter is no longer the WORST POTUS of the modern era...

1) All gun purchases should require a background check. Eighty-eight percent of Americans support this, including a lot of responsible gun owning Texans. … I’ve met them. Roof, who killed nine people in a black church in South Carolina in 2015, got his pistol without a completed background check due to a legal technicality. The system failed. Gun control activists call this a loophole. I call it incompetence.

All gun purchases ARE given a background check except for family transfers...

Is the system perfect?? Obviously not... But checks are done.. So no new law is needed...

2) Unless you are in the military, you should be 21 years old to purchase an assault rifle. I’m not talking about 12-gauge shotguns or lever-action hunting rifles. I’m talking about the weapon of choice for mass murderers, AR-15s. The killer in my hometown of Uvalde purchased two AR-15s for his eighteenth birthday, just days before he killed 19 students and two teachers. He obeyed the law. Had the law been different, perhaps I wouldn’t be writing this today.

Even RUSS is against this..

McCaughny wants to ban guns from 18 year olds SOLELY because they "look scary"... This is complete and utter moose poop. It's idiotic and can be ignored..

3) Red Flag Laws should be the law of the land. These measures, which are already in effect in 19 states and Washington, D.C., empower loved ones or law enforcement to petition courts to temporarily prevent individuals who may be a threat to themselves or others from purchasing or accessing firearms. These laws must respect due process, judicial review, and hold account individuals who may abuse such laws.

Red Flag laws already exist.. If there is to be a NATIONAL law, then it MUST have punitive teeth for those individuals and agencies who would misuse the law...

Since this is a MENTAL HEALTH law and NOT a gun law, it's permissible and has NOTHING to do with gun responsibility..

4) We need to institute a national waiting period for assault rifles. Individuals often purchase weapons in a fit of rage, harming themselves or others. Studies show that mandatory waiting periods reduced homicides by 17 percent. Gun suicides account for the majority of U.S. gun deaths. A waiting period to purchase an assault rifle is an acceptable sacrifice for responsible gun owners when it can prevent a mass shooting crime of passion or suicide.

Sure.. Let's also have a waiting period for posting on the Internet.. You have to wait 2 weeks from the time your 'net is connected to post.. :eyeroll:

The idea that people use RIFLES to commit suicide is utterly MORONIC and it simply proves that this guy is drug-addled and has no more functioning brain cells.. Further anyone who wants to commit suicide is not going to wait for any waiting period... He or she will just jump off a bridge or go play on the freeway.. Utterly moronic..

Why don't you show some illegal drug responsibility McCanahay and stay off of them....

:eyeroll:

Same old moose poop ideas that are meaningless, ignorant and will do NOTHING to address the problem..

The ONLY one that is halfway decent is the mental health red flag law and that is unworkable without fraud protection..

Just another gun hating moron...

But I'll read his ideas and pass judgement...

Pie is ALWAYS on topic, no matter what the topic is.

https://newrepublic.com/article/166678/supreme-court-roe-guns-epa

Interesting to note..

While throwing Roe v Wade and Democrat Eugenics v Casey on the trash heap of history where it belongs is getting the vast majority of the press, there is a VERY ON TOPIC ruling that is not getting much press..

New York State Rifle and Pistol Association v. Bruen

Interesting history behind this ruling..

It seems that Democrats tried to pull this from a SCOTUS hearing.. Democrats in NY conceded they were wrong and tried to hurry a re-write of the law to prevent the SCOTUS from hearing the case.. You see, Democrats were afraid that, since the SCOTUS is 6-3 Conservative, the SCOTUS would rule broadly rather than narrowly..

As usual, Democrats were too smart by half..

Even though NY Democrats re-wrote the law, the SCOTUS took the case anyways, which is a VERY strong indication that they will rule BROADLY and screw up a buttload of Democrat States' anti-gun dunsel laws..

The case basically comes down to the concept of MAY ISSUE vs MUST (SHALL) ISSUE with regards to CCW permits AKA Conceal Carry permits..

Most Democrat (if not all... I am too lazy to look it up and it would be useless to bother since they are all going to be struck down anyways.. :D ) states have a MAY ISSUE conceal carry permit structure..

Which means simply that, unless you can give a GOOD REASON (as defined by hysterical gun hating Democrats) then you cannot exercise your constitutional right to keep and bear arms...

The SCOTUS ruled in Heller that owing a gun (keep arms) is an INDIVIDUAL Constitutional Right completely unconnected from the example of a militia given in the text of the 2nd...

The SCOTUS is not set to rule in Bruen that CARRYING a gun (bear arms) is ALSO an individual right completely unconnected from the example of a militia given in the text of the 2nd...

In short, Democrats tried an end run around the 2nd Amendment and it's all going to blow up in their faces..

It's the ISHMAEL EFFECT...

By their own actions, Democrats are bringing about the VERY thing they wanted to avoid... :D

AKA HOISTED BY THEIR OWN PICARD!!! :D

Pie is ALWAYS on topic, no matter what the topic is.

So, I guess that "off topic" is some arbitrary standard that I, and I alone, am forced to guess at.. :eyeroll:

There's simply no such thing as too much pie

I had more to say on this topic, but apparently I am solely being held to a different standard than others when it comes to on/off topic comments.. :eyeroll:

I have gone to GREAT LENGTHS today to insure my comments were ON TOPIC..

Would it be permissible to ask exactly WHAT comments were considered OFF TOPIC by the moderator..

And why it was only MY comments that were considered OFF TOPIC but the RESPONSE to those supposed OFF TOPIC comments were left alone as ON TOPIC??

That doesn't depart from my idea...

But you don't need a gun registry beyond what we already have, to impose a mental health law...

The PROBLEM is, as Democrat Murphy clearly demonstrates and Bashi's Politico article prove....

Democrats DON'T want to hear about ANY mental health aspect of these mass shootings..

They are focused SOLELY on their hysterical Anti-Gun agenda to the exclusion of ANY other possibility..

Which is ironic because mass shootings of THESE kind are SOLELY based on mental health, NOT the tools used..

The Waukesha killer was just as psychotic and insane as the Uvalde killer was...

Their choice of tools they used in their mass murders was completely and utterly irrelevant..

The problem isn't to much pie, it's not enough. And for the record i agree with you that law enforcement needs an exception carved out to medical privacy laws. My sole area of my departure from your idea is that it needs to be especially where mental illness and gun ownership intersect.

So Democrats were pushing *ANOTHER* Summer of recovery...

Wha?? The 3rd or 4th one this decade?? :eyeroll:

But of course, Democrats don't have *ANYTHING* to brag about over the dismal and recession-esque economy..

So, Democrats are trying to push their hysterical and boring 6JC garbage...

And so it goes and so it goes...

And so will Democrats soon I suppose... :D

I accept your concession.. :D

Yer just pissy because yer Democrats are losing their #1 propaganda outlet.. :D

THAT is the point..

Contract law says otherwise...

Not factually accurate.. Funding is already secured..

Quite factually accurate. The deal is secured with Tesla stock, and Musk could survive a margin call as long as Tesla stayed above about $740 a share, it was above a $1000 a share when he signed the deal. It's now in the $720s...

You might want to see optometrist with all those eyerolls as they seem unwarranted to the content that they happen on...

Politico...

'nuff said..

There IS no "gun control" route..

There are ZERO anti-gun laws that can be passed that would have ANY impact on Crowd Based Mass Shootings™.

This is fact...

The ONLY route is the mental health route..

But Democrats refuse to even believe that's a problem..

Meanwhile, Democrats push resort style punishment for violent offenders.. :eyeroll:

Yet, Twitter refuses to back up that claim with FACTS...

THAT is the point..

You mean recovering from the pandemic influenced artificial low.

Sure Bashi.. Whatever you have to say to protect your precious Democrats.. :eyeroll:

It's still all really because Tesla's share price has cratered and he can no longer afford Twitter...

Not factually accurate.. Funding is already secured..

It's Twitter's fraud that is the problem here..

They did and had to because they are a publicly traded company and SEC requires it. Their filing basically amounted to: our audit came up with 5% but we think it's probably a bit higher.

Musk came in knowing this and signed the deal without due diligence. That's on him.

It's still all really because Tesla's share price has cratered and he can no longer afford Twitter...

Pure unadulterated moose poop..

You mean recovering from the pandemic influenced artificial low. They were "skyrocketing" before Putin did his thing, they started in November under Trump. But the reality is we are not in a vacuum, oil is global. Biden has only minor influence over world gas prices which are also high. OPEC cut production because of the pandemic to keep the price of oil from cratering too much, now they are intentionally slow coming back to normal as it's profitable to do so. Then Russia threw a monkey wrench in the whole thing by invading Ukraine, though the effect of gas prices started with the early posturing before the invasion started, commodity markets being as they are...

Instead of taking guns away from law abiding people who would never even CONSIDER a mass shooting, how about, if ANYONE makes a threat regarding a mass shooting, charge them with a felony and throw them in jail for 5 years...

That means Democrats would HAVE to actually CRACK DOWN on criminals and actually IMPOSE harsh bail and sentencing, as opposed to letting some scumbag who is on PROBATION for ruf'ing a teenage girl and then tried to brutally murder a mother and her baby be sentenced to a few months of SUMMER CAMP!!!

But, you see... DEMOCRATS won't agree to ACTUALLY prosecuting REAL crimes... :eyeroll:

They just want to let these Crowd Based Mass Shootings™ continue so they can have their hysterical Anti-Gun talking point.. :eyeroll:

It's easier to push a nonsensical dunsel agenda than to actually address the REAL problem..

NO ONE wants to concede that our indoctrinated children can do such unspeakable evil..

So those who choose to be ignorant of the REAL problems come up with scapegoats and boogeymen..

The ooooooo soooo scary "assault rifle" is the problem... These oooo soooo scary guns walk into our midst if their own volition and consciously decide to shoot innocent people..

:eyeroll:

Of course, we IGNORE the people who use "assault SUVs" or "assault knives" or "assault baseball bats"..

THOSE murders are perfectly acceptable and warrant NO comment whatsoever..

It's the OBVOUSLY sentient "assault rifles" that are the problem... :eyeroll:

Let's face reality here..

It's the hysterical anti-gun agenda that's at work here..

Nothing more..

And, like Democrats' and their Build Back Broke wet dream, ANY kind of gun ban is simply another wet dream that is destined to failure..

Because GUNS aren't the problem here..

Mentally sick people are the problem here..

Why Uvalde Doesn’t Justify Gun Control
https://www.realclearpolitics.com/articles/2022/06/06/why_uvalde_doesnt_justify_gun_control_147696.html

They must have had too much pie in their lives..

The ONLY good pie is NO PIE...

Apologies, Bashi.. That was a gross and perverse personal attack....

That's a heinous name to call someone...

I apologize most profusely... It was uncalled for...

Moose poop... Gas prices were already skyrocketing before Putin did his thing..

Pure unadulterated moose poop..

I'm just waiting for you to post that one gas station in the middle of the Big Sur drive on hwy 1. It's always shockingly high.

The ENTIRE Russia Collusion Delusion con was PROVEN to be orchestrated by Hillary Clinton..

This has been documented by FACT by those people who were part of the conspiracy...

This is established FACT now..

THAT is what GENERAL Flynn was coerced into admitting to.. A PROCESS crime..

And ANY prosecutor worth ANYTHING at all will ignore PROCESS crimes..

The ONLY prosecutors who will actually charge process crimes are weak will'ed weak knee-ed ball-less biatches who has an ax to grind...

You'll have to explain it to me...

Didn't understand a word he said...

Thank you SOOO much for these comment.. It's REALLY very much appreciated!! :D

When Michael Flynn admittedly LIES to the FBI, it is a "process crime" to the right-wing talking heads and right wingnut talking-point regurgitators. But when Michael Sussmann is accused of lying to the FBI, it is LOCK UP HILLARY AND ALL DEMOCRATS!

First off, GENERAL Flynn's "admission" was coerced and, as such, is not legally viable..

Secondly, GENERAL Flynn's "lie" (if it actually occurred) was indeed, a PROCESS crime..

Whereas Sussmann's lie was principal to the crime committed..

Allow me to dumb it down for you..

As my previous example indicates, there was a murder.. Joe Democrat was a suspect... When questioned, Joe Democrat claimed he was at the library studying.. When in fact, Joe Democrat was in an alley boinking an alley dog... Joe Democrat is subsequently cleared for the murder, but Joe Democrat DID commit a process crime.. A crime that resulted from the INVESTIGATION of the original crime and not part/parcel to the original crime itself..

THAT is what GENERAL Flynn was coerced into admitting to.. A PROCESS crime..

NOW...

Let's postulate a scenario where said murder is being investigated along side a crime of CONSPIRACY TO COMMIT MURDER...

Joe Democrat was in on the murder and WITNESSED the murder.. Joe Democrat LIED and said that Jane Republican committed the murder.. This was done to protect John Democrat who actually committed the murder..

By being part of the murder and LYING about it to try and protect the actual murder, Joe Democrat's lie was an ACTUAL crime... Joe Democrat was part of the conspiracy and LIED to authorities..

This is an actual crime..

So it is with Sussmann.. He was PART of the illegal conspiracy and LIED to further the illegal conspiracy.

That is a REAL and ACTUAL bona fide crime..

But it's likely Durham knew that a DC jury would never convict Sussmann...

In hindsight, Durham's goal was obviously to get it on record that Hillary was the architect of the illegal conspiracy...

MISSION ACCOMPLISHED...

Thanx again for allowing me to school you Kick.. :D It's ALWAYS a pleasure to point out when yer wrong.. :D

But yer still my friend, eh? :D

Extremely poignant and meaningful for both nations. Maybe meaningful to us founding weigantians as well, if we take a moment and reflect.

My lovely wife is leaving on Thu to go spend some time with her sister whose wife is going thru some harsh medical stuff... So I'll be on my own for 2 weeks and might be more... ahem... cantankerous and bitchy than usual...

I don't sleep well when I sleep alone.. :^/

Just and FYI and an apology (of sorts) in advance..

If we DO see a Roe V Wade/Democrat Eugenics V Casey ruling today, that will DEFINITELY put any 6JC (Thanx MC.. :D) news on the back page.. :D

Given the facts of the here and now??

Probably not... The vast majority of Americans are not interested in re-litigating the past...

Just like ya'all claim about President Trump's BIG LIE... :^/

I will caveat one point..

Hard for me to care much about anyone else's mellow since that... :^/

I DO care about ya'all's mellow... Not to the extent that would permit me to ignore facts and reality..

But rest assured I take no (well not MUCH anyways) pleasure in exposing ya'all to the facts of the here and now that "harsh yer mellow"...

If the facts and reality "harshes yer mellow" well, then maybe ya'all should reconsider the anti-America anti-LEOs Democrats ya'all are supporting...

I'm just sayin'...

PIE IS DEAD!!! LONG LIVE CAKE!!!!

But I must point out what is NOT on topic since Friday..

Ukraine...

Other than the comments, there is NOTHING about Ukraine in the commentary..

And the in news of the day, Ukraine seems to be following further and further back in the media consciousness...

Which indicates to me that Biden's Handlers have milked all they can milk from the Ukraine crisis and Biden's Handlers' media water carriers are hard at work once again protecting Biden's Handlers...

While not fascinating it is.... interesting...

Decades and decades of drug abuse..

It kills...

RIP AJS....

I actually didn't even consider it as a threat.. But, since you bring it up, yes.. I DO see the implied threat..

Max nichts...

There is only one true olive branch I am interested in.. And, in the year+ since the incident in question occurred there has been NOTHING like an olive branch..

and don't be so cake about it!

Come on man, that wasn't a threat it was an olive branch. Read the vibe and don't be so cake about it!

Don may be gone, but the power of pie remains!

Democrats WILL NEVER have any kind of gun ban.. NEVER... EVER...

To do so, Democrats will have to get rid of the 2nd Amendment..

And our country could not survive without the 2nd...

Democracy is two wolves and a sheep voting on what is for lunch. Liberty, thanks to the 2nd Amendment, is the well armed sheep disputing the outcome of the vote.

Democrats need to get used to the idea that, when it comes to gun control, they have absolutely ZERO valid argument..

All anti-gun laws that CAN be passed HAVE been passed...

The hysterical anti-gun cupboard is bare..

Hey! You forgot to gratuitously thank Kick for showing you blockquote!

Thanks, Kick! (waving)

EXACTLY!!!

*EVERY* Weigantian should be thanking Kick for showing me the Blockquote...

Because she did, now EVERYONE is happy!!! :D

Me especially... :D

As for "mellow".. Things haven't been the same since my mellow was harshed...

Hard for me to care much about anyone else's mellow since that... :^/

Michale, you listening?

Chill out today, ok?

Seriously, like, don't harsh everyone's mellow. Give it a rest.

Manfred Mann (Manfred Sepse Lubowitz) was raised and a citizen of South Africa and hated the Apartheid system. His eponymic band (3 of them) certainly grew with the times more than most from the early 1960s. This was him in the 80s, when Apartheid was a worldwide protest movement... from an album called "Somewhere in Afrika"...
