Agree.
See #61
Yep.
A response to me for stating the obvious:

Obviously I’m the problem for not swallowing the outlandish vandalism story that the entire Administration was peddling.

If an arm fell off a mannequin in a department store and you picked it up, there would be no case for vandalism or destruction of property.
Are you sure?
Yep
OK. It looked to me like he was pulling the liner up.
David Hearn will be suing for defamation. I would too. Can you sue the Feds for defamation? It seems not.
"Stick with the misdemeanor, just futz with the guy to put him back into The Process (re: HST). Now that bike-bendover queetbait has had his prolapsed marxism forced into the (gaping) open once and for all, serious shot he would recidivize while pimping for 'progressive' 3-speed, banana-seat Huffy DSA candidates this fall. FFS he already has pr representation. Also, fire Pirro. Grandstanding, self-seeking biotch."
Nah, no idea. Appreciate you all calling me on it, though!
