Yes. Yes. I would also accept a pardon from the governor, if applicable. It's going to be a long wait for the appeals process to play out. I don't expect the sentence to be much more than a slap on the wrist, but the stain on Trump's record would be a bad one, so I expect him to fight tooth and...

I would make them consecutive, but since this is his first conviction I'd be lenient and give him only one year for each count. Well, the max is 20 years, so that.

Yeah, that turned out to be a science fiction classic, just because of how alien the blob was. The sequel and remake, not so much.

Not so gory, but the violence was pretty extreme, and there were some disturbing scenes.

Wow! I didn't expect the jury to come back so fast, and to convict him on ALL charges. Now I'm going to have to wait impatiently for the sentencing.

There are movies everybody has seen. Things like the Wizard of Oz, Star Wars, the Lord of the Rings, Jaws, the Ten Commandments, the Avengers, the Terminator, Alien, Monty Python and the Holy Grail, Rocky, The Magnificent Seven (the one with Yul Brynner), Dirty Harry, the Planet of the Apes (the...

Not knowing why Zelin thinks there's reasonable doubt, he's just a random guy with an opinion, so I'm not going to take him seriously. And if he had said that Trump was clearly guilty beyond a reasonable doubt, I also wouldn't take him seriously. I'm not going to base my opinions on hearsay with...

China has a great fondness for stability. Invading Taiwan for the tech would gain them nothing, as they would lose at least two of their best trading partners and be hit with huge sanctions, at the very least. If things go badly, invasion could result in a disastrous war. That doesn't mean that...

Well, clearly the founding fathers should have thought a lot harder about the slavery issue. And equal rights. And how to better deal with native Americans. It gets to be a long list. But I tend to give them some slack, because they had a lot to deal with at the time, and coming up with a new...

Paranoia. There are people who feel that they're out to get us. They'll find something to justify their feeling, and flat Earth is one of a number of ways. It's the paranoia that makes them immune to arguments, because any evidence that contradicts them was faked by them, the ones who are out to...

I think it should be noted that Lia Thomas didn't simply identify as female, but underwent medical transitioning, and met the NCAA hormone standards. Now, it may be that Thomas still had unfair advantages, but the NCAA did have standards in place to prevent someone with a full male musculature...

I think you got derailed there, and the train fell into a ravine.

As far as ferocity goes, when one pokes a beehive, one should expect to stir up some bees. And when one grabs the beehive and shakes it violently, well... you know... I don't think any president ever has poked, swatted, and pounded on the beehive as much as Trump.

Who has withstood more veracity? Truthfulness? I think you meant to say ferocity, not veracity.

I hear that archaeologists have uncovered extensive evidence of places called Egypt and Rome, too.
