  1. "The defense says there was not enough time..." Quite right. There wasn't. Drug addicted half-wit flunks sophisticated elusive killer exam. Gets opportunity to try again in well-populated killing ground, jail.

  2.  @suesan5111  Some of us are, it's true -- but I don't see what that has to do with this story.

  3.  @napathon1  Don't worry, they can get by on what they steal from blind men's cups -- or nice salaried jobs on a Trump re-election committee.

  4.  @suesan5111  That's the nuttiest post I've seen in a while -- but you win a prize of some kind. There used to be a cocktail party game where you tried to come up with a term that got just one Google response. Your "Kaniphin" gets none. I take it from the context that it's some sort of specialist term in a racialist cult that you belong to. Fine. have a nice life. Just be on notice that you're a couple of hundred years out of date for the idea that you can tell who's Jewish by name or looks. I know nothing about your McEnroe and Bundy; "Son of Sam" Berkowitz's family stopped being Jewish a couple of generations back as far as I know. And in my family we come in several different colours, no doubt "races" to you, but all Jewish. Cheers, -dlj.

  5.  @johngalt2506  And lost -- as befits his demonstrated level of competence, let alone the facts...

  6.  @c.9231  Well said. I think she may be one of what Fletcher Knabel, in his good novel of California politics The Seventh Wave," called "little old ladies in running shoes."

  8.  @solosam9  That's my point: because they were lawyers.

  9.  @solosam9  Um, did you maybe miss the point that both the people making the accusation were lawyers?

  10. ​ @solosam9  I just don't understand your questions. It seems to me you answer yourself every time. But just one more time: here trying to get a volunteer sacked is an act of ver-ree peculiar vindictiveness and oddity. This couple had already made themselves conspicuous, don't you think? Then you get a pretty weird offense. Drugs being left lying around in a car is like not normal middle-class behaviour. It just screams weirdness. Finally, fake drug set-ups are a pretty common event. Far be it from me to suggest that a spare joint for planting is part of the equipment of every drug raiding party in the War on Whatever they're making war on now... but cops do know a wee bit about set-ups. OK? Enough. over and out.

  11. This may be the second reason Stanford is known as a junior university. Far be it from me to allow as how it has anything to do with any Leland P. Stanford, Jr.

  12. Biden is being ver-ree canny: he gets to make half-a-dozen speeches to the whole media audience, time after time saying the same thing, be calm, I'm the boss, everything's going back to normal, be calm. Never boasting once. Just being clearly in charge! And then, at a time of his own choosing, after everybody has gotten used to the fact that he's won, only then does he come out and make The Big Speech. Acceptance, not proclamation of victory! Damn, but that's smart!

  13. Seeing Woodruff ask people "你说中文吗？“ ("Do you speak Chinese?" in tourist Chinese) reminds me of the old John Paul II joke, "Does the Pope speak Russian?" "Everybody here understands Russian. Nobody here speaks Russian."

  14. Trusted messengers. "That could be clergy..." Hunh? The white evangelical Trumpoid "churches" are one of the major sources of all the hate, misinformation, and division going around.

  15. Congratulations to ABC for their public service hiring of the mentally retarded. It is truly amazing that a person like Elizabeth Schulze who does not know what "fine line" means can get a job anywhere, let alone doing news analysis. ABC News is making a great sacrifice throwing away their credibility like this, so we've got to admire their public spirit.

  17. No evidence for that, Mark. You're just spewing your own invented hate.

  18. 49.9% is exactly nobody's idea of any unifying coalition. It's the best close miss yet by a guy who has never won a majority of anything.

  19. "to advocate for the disabled" Pleasant to see that rare correct use of "advocate for."

  20. Teaching kids how to count in Mandarin is NOT going to turn them into Communists! On the other hand teaching them to count in English is dangerously likely to turn them into Democrats. Only the innumerate can tolerate Republican budget finance.

  21. The Republican demand for "comprehensive immigration reform" is totally bogus: their big business supporters -- like his Cabinet of billionaires -- are often dependent on cheap undocumented labor. They don't want enforcement of the law at the point of employment. Trump himself has no clue how legislation works, so his idea of "comprehensive legislation" is any law that takes longer than two buckets of KFC to consider. Lies, lies, lies, and lies. That's all these people can produce (other than tax cuts for their rich buddies.)

  22.  @someonenew3547  Bullshit. The Trumpoids benefit by revving up the hatred their movement lives on. DACA is a temporary fix kept temporary by Republican obstructionism.

  23. Great news: all the old Trumpoids are going to avoid the vaccine!
