I was looking at #66, but perhaps I accidentally typed #67 as I was also looking at that comment while doing my AI search, but my difficult, opinionated old Chromebook deleted the number 6, leaving #7.
despite the fact they found no drugs or imprisoned women
The confidential informant said that he had women imprisoned in his basement dungeon. A 1 minute check on his property records would have shown the complete absence of a basement, thus throwing in doubt < /understatement mode> the truth of the informant. I believe that most confidential informants merely parrot what the police tell them to say in order to get warrants. If I'm on the jury and I hear "confidential informant" I would replace it with "paid liar".
Now, on the other hand, Afroman was publicly accusing one of the cops of pedophilia. If he had stuck to ridiculing the raid, questioning the $400 discrepancy between the police inventory and the money returned and showing off the damage done breaking into his house I would have been fully on his side. But I would count his pedophilia accusation as both slander and libel unless he had something to back it up.

Whether returning the money was stupid or merely unfortunate, I have intermittently seen this return mischaracterized as using OUR taxpayer money, often in a racially negative discussion or information setting. I have seen in the more recent past that Brussels was very cautious about considering using interest from Russian frozen assets to assist Ukraine. I wonder if some kinds of international legal decisions were made regarding return of the Iran government’s payment for merchandise not received plus interest accrued during the years those funds were held, which caused/influenced Brussel’s decisions in the Ukraine/Russia case?
Flying into D.C. once I saw a airplane that had just taken off as were on a decent to land.
I was once in a near midair collision too as we descended into Atlanta. The other plane was a twin-engine propeller driven plane about the size of Emelia Earhart's plane, and it passed directly underneath us at about 30 yards below us, yes only 30 yards! I'm sure.
Another time our British Airways pilot executing a go-around into Gatwick Airport because there was another plane on the runway although I don't think it was all that close. However, the British pilot assured us that there would be no charge for the extra bit of flying.
Yes, Roosevelt was kind of snarky when Churchill warned him about the Soviets and the Soviets were well aware of Roosevelt’s condition and exploited it.
[snip] My surprise reached a climax, however, when I found incidentally that he was ignorant of the Copernican Theory and of the composition of the Solar System. That any civilized human being in this nineteenth century should not be aware that the earth travelled round the sun appeared to be to me such an extraordinary fact that I could hardly realize it.
“You appear to be astonished,” he said, smiling at my expression of surprise. “Now that I do know it I shall do my best to forget it.”
“To forget it!”
“You see,” he explained, “I consider that a man’s brain originally is like a little empty attic, and you have to stock it with such furniture as you choose. A fool takes in all the lumber of every sort that he comes across, so that the knowledge which might be useful to him gets crowded out, or at best is jumbled up with a lot of other things so that he has a difficulty in laying his hands upon it. Now the skilful workman is very careful indeed as to what he takes into his brain-attic. He will have nothing but the tools which may help him in doing his work, but of these he has a large assortment, and all in the most perfect order. It is a mistake to think that that little room has elastic walls and can distend to any extent. Depend upon it there comes a time when for every addition of knowledge you forget something that you knew before. It is of the highest importance, therefore, not to have useless facts elbowing out the useful ones.”
“But the Solar System!” I protested.
“What the deuce is it to me?” he interrupted impatiently; “you say that we go round the sun. If we went round the moon it would not make a pennyworth of difference to me or to my work.” [/snip]
You are being ignored, regardless how intolerable you may find that, and are incited to insolently infer you are worthy of even more replies, as if not refuted multitudinous times.
✔ Compelling Scripture to support Rome, when in context, etc., it manifestly does not; ✔ Persistent posting of parroted polemics, despite being repeatedly refuted (with at least 170 replies* by me alone, by the grace of God); ✔ Engaging in varying degrees of sophistry; ✔ Repeatedly forgetting or ignoring previous explanations he thinks he is refuting; ✔ Misrepresenting what Scripture, as well as a poster and or web site stated; ✔ Engaging in insolent recourse to childish goading, crass remarks and similar inane behavior, and overall manifesting a lack of integrity and maturity; ✔ Insistently overrating himself as deserving of a response; ✔ Overall providing an argument against being a Catholic, due to the erroneous doctrinal as well as other cultic effects.
