Trump is currently arguing that his case in Georgia should be thrown out, because if they can include him in a RICO case along with lawyers of his, then you had to include "millions of people throughout the country” who believed election fraud had taken place, and were working toward the same goal as Trump and his lieutenants. His team also said that there are lots of bank robbers out there, “but the mere fact that they all rob banks and have the same goal and many of the same methods of operation, does not mean that all American bank robbers constitute one RICO enterprise, despite the fact that they are people who commit the same crime, for the same reason." Where have I heard that before? =================================== Otter : Ladies and gentlemen, I'll be brief. The issue here is not whether we broke a few rules, or took a few liberties with our female party guests - we did. [winks] But you can't hold a whole fraternity responsible for the behavior of a few, sick twisted individuals. For if you do, then shouldn't we blame the whole fraternity system? And if the whole fraternity system is guilty, then isn't this an indictment of our educational institutions in general? I put it to you, Greg - isn't this an indictment of our entire American society? Well, you can do whatever you want to us, but we're not going to sit here and listen to you badmouth the United States of America!

Democrats are taking advantage of republicans being distracted by . . anything shiny lately to win some pretty significant victories. Today's victory was an elegant chess move in response to the republican attempts to get to Biden by going through his son. Their attempted subpoena of Hunter Biden was derailed neatly by Hunter's offer to do it publicly. This caused the republican agenda to come to a screeching halt. Their plan was to have him testify behind closed doors, so that Comer could move from the hidden testimony directly to a FOX News interview where he could say something like "Hunter Biden admitted that his father had sex with little girls!" - and that would dominate the news cycle before anyone could talk to Hunter and learn that nothing like that was even discussed. By demanding a public hearing, Comer cannot pull that trick. So of course he is demanding that his testimony NOT be public, which makes him look a whole lot like a coward who is afraid that the public will see what's actually happening. Other republicans are confused at why they would refuse a public hearing, based on how damning they believe Hunter's testimony will be, House Oversight Committee chairman Jamie Raskin called their confusion an "epic humiliation" and it looks like that's how many people are taking it. It is proving to be a very hard sell. Meanwhile several republicans spent the day fighting to keep George Santos in Congress, which will come become excellent democratic fodder in their arguments that republicans support criminals. But they also can't _not_ defend him since they will have to do the same thing for Trump when he runs.

Oh, this is so much better!

I never believed it would happen.

It wasn't Chaucer, it was my post.. and it is correct. How can people take you seriously if you can't read. Instead of your typical bloviating with generalities.. and dodging anything specific.. Where is it wrong. Go ahead,, Conclusion is 20:18 at 23 DME needs a 20 k higher average speed and that does not fit the evidence. What you have done for over a decade is created your own path to fit the 20:18 error. Ground distance along the path from 14 DME SEA to 23 DME PDX is measured in NM. The air speed varied between about 170-150 knots. The wind about 35 k..

Seen on another forum: Q: What do you call a Republican three-way? A: Extended family values.

I can't explain the extra space between the marks before 20:05 or the ones too short about Portland south.. but there are two things... If you take the point 14 DME SEA (19:40) and 23 DME PDX,, The distance measured along the path is 137 NM At 20:22 it is 42 min. 137/42 = 3.262 * 60 = 195.72 NMH average ground speed At 20:18 it is 38 min. 137/38 = 3.61 * 60 = 216.6 NMH average ground speed Air speed after takeoff was about 170 and ground was about 205.. a 35 headwind,, that is another story. We know plane slowed for Cooper's jump.. From 20:05 to 20:15 the timing marks based on distance are very accurate to the minute, perhaps that section was requested. 2005 - 2015 = 31.42 NM 31.42 NM / 10 = 3.142 3.142 * 60 = 188.52 ground speed Cooper's jump speed was noted and tested as about 150 air speed.. 188.52 ground was about 153 air speed. less 35 wind This is consistent. Going back to the 20:18 vs 20:22 time at DME 23 PDX.. For 20:18 the average ground speed of 216.6 is too high especially considering they slowed the plane down.. that means they would have to travel faster than 216.6 initially. However,, an average ground speed of 195.72 is right in the sweet spot. It is an combination of the initial 205 speed and the 188.52. They slowed the plane to 188.52 ground or about 153 air speed, matching Cooper's exit speed. The 20:18 time requires the plane to be going far too fast (20 k faster) to cover that distance. 20:22 fits. Any slight variation in wind along the path or slight key in delay of times does not compensate for the 20 k excess speed at 20:18, it is the outlier.

The gag order has been reinstated on Trump, but Trump managed to slip in an attack on the judges wife before it was reinstated. One of Trump's key messages that is based on fact/truth is that the political elite are treated differently to Joe Average. Trump's trial and treatment in the courts is possibly the most public and blatant evidence of the truth that the rich and powerful get special treatment, and no he is not a victim of the system. Globally politicians get far too much and have lost sight of the fact they are servants of the people, not masters.

Clearly it is because Obamacare predicted the forced castration of men. And we all know men with balls vote Republican and men without balls vote Democrat. Hence why Obamacare was secretly all about castrating men.
