    It is an interesting point. Secret Service has confirmed that Jr. didn't have protection at the time. Though I think the lawyer was just speaking to the average Trump supporter. They tend to be too stupid to think for themselves.

    And some new messaging to go with it: Maybe it is a little bit of collusion, but it isn't systemic and it didn't alter the outcome. https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/the-fix/wp/2017/07/14/kellyanne-conway-just-set-the-modern-record-for-political-spin/?tid=sm_tw&utm_term=.9fce8324b3e4

    Basically this is what happened to the whole of the USA: https://youtu.be/dQw4w9WgXcQ?t=6

    New report that the lawyer was accompanied by a "former" Russian intelligence officer.... Edited to add: with a particular expertise: negative public-relations campaigns.

    Jrs email? the ones that I supplied the link to? what about them? Nothing incriminating there! If you think otherwise state the broken statue? But, you will not be able to because no one else can either. Political blunder? Yes Criminal act? The question is if it breaks the Federal Election Campaign Act of 1971 as amended. There are lawyers who say he did, there are lawyers who say he didn't. From my reading of the act, I think he did. I could explain to you why, but would likely just get some stupid one liner with an emoji in response.

    Ah, that explains it.

    It would be interesting to hear what you think those emails show? What is your analysis of them?

    Because you don't have to go very far to circumvent those laws and there are not a lot of barriers to get there. That percentage is probably very close to what it is in Toronto. Pretty heavily populated, large city. Yet it is significantly harder to get both guns and ammunition here.

    Except, according to Kallend, that isn't true. It just isn't that simple. It is one of many factors. Derek V Pretty sure you are misrepresenting Kallend's position. You seem to have a hard problem understanding that when somebody states an opinion on a correlation, it doesn't mean they believe that to be the sole correlation. Of course it is one of many factors, but that doesn't mean it isn't a factor. Your argument is beyond absurd.

    Good numbers. I have said before that there clearly could be a breaking point at which additional guns really doesn't matter. Let's look at a fire in your house. Normally one would say that the more fire and the more damage, the worse it is. But obviously there is a point where it doesn't matter. Whether your house is burnt 80% or 100% probably doesn't matter too much. With relation to guns. There is little doubt in my mind that if you make a tool easily available, it will be used more than in an area where that tool is much harder to acquire.

    Same reason why gravity doesn't work. Same parachute, same clothing, different neighbourhoods and different results.

    He will cheer him on, because Mueller is obviously biased.
  13. SkyDekker
    Actually no. The blaze article is much more focussed on the costs and the pay off.

    Going to church does not make you a Christian. Getting drunk and passing out in a hangar does not make you a skydiver...oh, wait...nevermind. A bunch of racists fucks support Trump. Thank you Captain Obvious for this wonderful insight.

    How about this one: The Russian lawyer Jr met with was defending her clients against money laundering charges pressed by Preet Bharara. Two months after Trump fired Preet Bharara, they settled their case, without admitting guilt, for a fraction of what they should have paid. Favour returned?

    I am waiting for Rush or Ron to claim that Obama illegally snuck this lawyer into the country to entrap Trump.

    I disagree, Republicans value education. They hate progressive liberal domination in the institutions of higher learning. Meh, not really https://www.theblaze.com/news/2017/07/10/majority-of-republicans-believe-colleges-and-universities-have-a-negative-impact-on-us/
  18. SkyDekker
    Most Republicans think colleges are detrimental, so thinking and research are not things appreciated by the average Republican.
  19. SkyDekker
    My biggest takeway from this is that the Trump campaign clearly wasn't surprised that Russia was going to be helping them. How does one not react when you get an email indicating a foreign (enemy) government is offering to help you?

    Using your example, if you raised the legal BAC for the entire US and only saw an increase in cities and rural areas remained flat, what conclusion(s) would you draw? Derek V That allowing for higher intoxication while driving leads to more accidents.
  21. SkyDekker
    Same insane argument that since other factors exist, one particular factor has to be excluded. In my example one factor was certainly the density of traffic. But that doesn't mean that the increased BAC allowance doesn't play a role. If you make something more widely available it isn't weird the item gets used more often.

    He knew the NYT was going to publish them anyways and he wanted to pre-empt them.

    Yes I can see you denying the existence of apartheid.

    Difference being that Khadr actually did something and Arar was actually innocent. And let's not forget that Trudeau specifically orchestrated this so there could be little interference.

    Here I thought you were in favour of the Reagan presidency.
