Exactly. I think he probably likes what Trump is doing to New York, hence the “nothing to see here” scolding.

You sound like a waste of time. Maybe you like what Trump said. Is that it? Get a fucking clue or get lost.

Eat a bag of dicks. Enjoy retirement with your good friend Bob Menéndez. Sucker. Weenie. Scab. I will tell everyone who will listen what a fucking disgrace you are. Goldman Sacks ass drip.

Fuck you.

My point is that in your example the person made statements that are provably false. A plaintiff politician cannot prove they weren’t actually lying in the same way that someone can prove they are a boy not a woman-fraudster. Thank you for what you do.

If people avoided using the term lie except where there was direct evidence the person lied, they’d only be able to use it when the liar admitted that they lied. That’s absurd, but I don’t doubt that’s the frame many journos use.

That’s pretty different as you describe it since, among other things, the child’s family could obviously prove she was a child. When pols/billionaires lie, there’s usually little doubt what they said is false, only a nagging feeling of “who knows what was in his head,” which shouldn’t be a bar.

All of whom are entitled to taxpayer-funded hearings on the denial of their benefits.

I like how the border agents in this hypo are acting like they’re up by one in the final seconds of a basketball game trying to keep the baby out rather than acting the way ethical people would when a mother goes into labor.

Dictator shit.

Politics isn’t astrophysics or structural engineering. It doesn’t need to be so professionalized.

And if anything, I wish the @democrats.org would make a concerted effort to listen to the better ideas (not mine) shared on here by historians, scientists, etc. Bluesky is not a representation of the public, but it should be a resource.

Maybe as amici.

Seems like they don’t even try to persuade the court

What dumb reasoning. Because the former U.S. attorney said some things? Ok…

Sandcastle mentality. They feel powerful destroying things.
