Good evening all. The usual salutations of Christmas escape me, so I’ll go, agnostic that I am, with the opening verses of Psalm 91 as found in the 1928 Episcopal Book of Common Prayer.
Psalm 91. Qui habitat.
WHOSO dwelleth under the defence of the Most High, * shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty.
2 I will say unto the LORD, Thou art my hope, and my stronghold; * my God, in him will I trust.
3 For he shall deliver thee from the snare of the hunter, * and from the noisome pestilence.
4 He shall defend thee under his wings, and thou shalt be safe under his feathers; * his faithfulness and truth shall be thy shield and buckler.
5 Thou shalt not be afraid for any terror by night, * nor for the arrow that flieth by day;
6 For the pestilence that walketh in darkness, * nor for the sickness that destroyeth in the noon-day.
Biden’s AG needs to have one of his guys or Special Counsel Weissmann subpeona everyone of these shits and ask them whether they exchanged anything of value with Trump to secure these pardons in front of a Grand Jury, and tell them to surrender their cell phones to the bailiff before leaving.
This is not just a bullshit way to run the Presidency, Trump is sticking it in everyone’s face to “own the Libs”. We “Libs” need to own the Trumpies and make clear that their egregious behavior will not be tolerated in 2021 and thereafter.
A sniper on the Raven 23 team placed his rifle out a porthole of the Bearcat armored vehicle and fired at the driver of the white KIA. The man was struck and killed by the bullet. The car began to roll forward slowly, bumping into a red vehicle. The two Iraqi traffic officers physically tried to stop the movement of the car.
The defendants said they feared the white KIA was a car bomb as it moved ahead. The car rolled forward after the sniper, a security guard, shot the driver and his foot came off the brake. This is why the sniper was charged with, and convicted of, first-degree murder.
Funny how when someone is shot dead while driving means the car will still move forward. I believe that this reaction to getting shot while driving, and even while stopped is why police in most places are suppose to be very careful when pursuing and shooting at a moving vehicle.
I’m finding it interesting that things Graham has said that won’t sit well with him have now all mostly come to pass. And even with the tape of what he said, and the date of when he said it, he will still deny that he said what we heard him say.
Why bother denying it? He just ignores it. Recall the video of him proudly and emphatically saying he wouldn’t hold hearings if a justice position came open in Trump’s last year. You can use it against me.
Boom RBG died and two months later Barrett was in with Graham’s blessing. His response isn’t denial, it’s just a big fat shameless so what are you going to do?
I thought Manning was a good-hearted person, and a good-brained person in many ways, who somehow ended up in a place where ethical good intent conflicted irreconcilably with the cynical strategies and tactics entailed by the mission of the hiring organization.
Send the same person to a tour of a couple of thinktanks and a Burning Man festival and a YouTube channel, and nobody would have wound up wanting anyone executed.
Yes, but another way is having your name and your photo in the newspaper with “CONVICTED” in the headline and the photo caption. In many people’s minds, that proves it now, not thirty years from now.
March 2019? He was between one and two percent more young than he is now when he told reporters “if President Trump pardoned anybody in his orbit, it would not play well.”
Was he between one and two percent more foolish than he is now?
