Huh? Its a post which I would normally not associate with Trigirl's usual intelligent thinking. Rape cannot be consented to except by direct participants.Which by definition would not be an assault. If she was inseminated artificially it would be assault but not rape. But thats just stretching the possibilities. Its staff, other patients, or visitors.

A hacked DZ account.

Christie says Trump is surrounded by 'revolving door' of 'grifters, weaklings, convicted and unconvicted felons' https://thehill.com/blogs/blog-briefing-room/425578-christie-says-trump-is-surrounded-by-revolving-door-of-grifters " the president is surrounded by "amateurs," "weakinglings" and "unconvicted felons." Axios reported that Christie wrote in his book "Let Me Finish" that Trump has a "revolving door of deeply flawed individuals — amateurs, grifters, weaklings, convicted and unconvicted felons — who were hustled into jobs they were never suited for, sometimes seemingly without so much as a background check via Google or Wikipedia." Claim "TRUMP IN 2016: "I only hire the best people!" Fact Check- see the story above.

***On Thursday, Lamberth ordered the State and Justice departments to work with Judicial Watch on a discovery plan to determine whether Clinton used the server to circumvent FOIA requirements, the Hill reported. https://www.foxnews.com/politics/hillary-clintons-use-of-private-email-server-among-gravest-offenses-to-transparency-judge-says https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Cq8f8oU9wYs

The statue? What are you talking about? Its like Ron's description on how the English language changes and adapts. In this case it means a state of mind for trump supporters whereby the thinking is resolute and unchanging. Regardless of what evidence or facts are brought to the matter. The mind is like a statue, never changing.

Family values, trump style its what mob families do until the "rats" as trump calls them, turn state's evidence. Michael Cohen and Allen Weisselberg need to co-author a book. So Hollywood can start on the movie(s).

The grounds for investigating don't necessarily work like that. You start looking into it "investigating" and THEN you gain evidence. Sure, you can start with a dead body or someone handing over something like emails between campaign members and other parties but it's not needed. If the mayor of your town fired the police chief after the police chief was looking into something relating to the mayor and he said something to the effect that he fired him because of that thing... I'll let you take it from there. In this case they were just doing their due diligence. Let's say they found something that compromised national security, you would probably want them to do something about that right? It's not even a matter of prosecuting Trump because the executive may be the exact person to bring that to so that they can extricate him from whatever that thing is. I know that Fox is painting this for you too seem like more Deep State/Obama corruption but it really is what they need to do to protect our President and our country. 1. Robert Swan Mueller, Republican, appointed by republicans. 2. Rod Jay Rosenstein, Republican, appointed by trump 3. AG nominee William Barr "tells senators he doesn't think Mueller would pursue 'witch hunt' https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/politics/2019/01/15/live-blog-william-barr-senate-hearing-attorney-general/2571876002/ Marc, Ron and now about 34% of American voters still puppet FOX/trump cult talking points. Yet judge, after judge, after the aforementioned appointees and the FBI. Still say Russia. Putina and Russia are so far up trump's ass. That when trump opens his mouth. Matryoshka dolls open up one after another. Russian mob money laundering, Russian loans for golf courses, Moscow trump tower building permits. Wait, more dolls for Mueller and the FBI to open yet. Just say nyet to Marc. Its the only Russian word that trump doesn't know.

Besides that this is an incredibly demented thing to do does he really think that $5.7bn number is going to get the wall built? I thought that was just a "get more money" number since he's previously stated that he needs something like $25bn and it most likely would cost over $50bn because of real world issues. 234 miles is 12% of the length of the border, which is 1,954 miles. Extrapolating that to the full length would be ~$48B, which is roughtly midway between the low end estimate ($25B), and the high end ($70B). But even those estimates don't include the coast of acquiring the land. A couple paper towels is good enough for them. Top FBI official says there's a "crisis of violence" in Puerto Rico https://www.cbsnews.com/news/top-fbi-official-says-theres-a-crisis-of-violence-in-puerto-rico/ Vega Alta, Puerto Rico — The top FBI official in Puerto Rico said the island is facing a "crisis of violence" and has asked the agency for more personnel and resources from the U.S. mainland. In addition to ongoing recovery efforts from the devastation caused by hurricanes Maria and Irma, and a struggling economy, Puerto Rico is experiencing a wave of violence and crime primarily linked to gang activity and drug trafficking. Local authorities have struggled to curb the mounting insecurity.... The FBI official praised the island's police departments for their efforts to reduce the violence, despite a decrease in the number of officers stationed on the streets." PR is cutting the number of LE because it can't pay LE officers.

Cause and effect is not negative. It is simply not inclusive. What Ron fails to address is that his idea of capitalism. Does away with the concept that the state works towards goals of a better nation state society. Goals of group health-education-welfare-protection of state assets-the environment of the state-etc. Are all superseded by the rights of individuals, corporations, specified religions, etc. To impose their personal profit, personal rights, over anyone else. So monopolies can charge what they can, companies can pollute at will, companies can collude to price fix, etc. As long as its not regulated in any fashion by the state. Imagine no zoning, no taxes, no laws. Except the Law of Conservative Christians, with a cocked and locked .45 on their hip. One of the first fundamental concepts of salesmanship is to use fear to sell a product. trump from the start of his political campaign has painted his ideas with fear. MS-13, Islamic State, a scant three months ago there was a "caravan" of these terrorists and gangs headed for the southern border. Subsequent to the election. Not a single report of any arrests from homeland insecurity. Or from the 10,000 US troops still at the border. Not one. trump just returned from his border visit. He stated to numerous republicans that his trip was nothing but a "photo-op". That the first prime time national TV address. Was a waste of time before he did the address. This all goes to show who is driving the dialogue. FOX(his base) and Stephen Miller, who crafts his message. Ron identify with this because as many others here have pointed out. He identifies with a book of fear. Not a book of love, compassion and empathy. Empathy like: In the Rio Grande Valley, plans for a border wall ignite fight between church and state https://www.texastribune.org/2018/12/19/church-and-state-fight-mission-texas-border-wall/ "The Catholic Diocese of Brownsville...a man known as the "cowboy priest", Father Roy Snipes... the 73-year-old clergyman,... the tiny white chapel, where he made his final vows to the church nearly four decades ago, Snipes took off his Stetson hat... a national fight that locally is pitting two of the region's most influential forces – the Catholic church and the U.S. immigration apparatus... Just before Thanksgiving, federal authorities moved to take control of about 67 acres around the chapel, arguing that they need “immediate possession” of the land in order to investigate it for future use — including, perhaps, permanently seizing it to build the wall. “Time is of the essence,” government lawyers said in a Nov. 20 court filing.... its main opposition is deeply rooted in religion. A wall would keep people from accessing the chapel to practice their faith and violate freedom of religion under the First Amendment, religious leaders said. And using their land to build the wall would go against Catholic values. “The Church is not angry with anybody, just interested in remaining who she is,” said Bishop Daniel Flores, who leads the Catholic Diocese of Brownsville. “A wall is not an intrinsic evil, but it is a prudential social disaster.” Snipes, whose beat-up van is covered in stickers that say “no wall between amigos,” said that his opposition to the wall is not so much about politics as it is about the gospel." I apologize to Christians who follow these interpretations of their religion. To the priest, about who i posted in SC before. The Catholic priest who joined the caravan as it walked 000's of km to the border. To help the needy, the oppressed, to give them guidance and solace. He is a hero and a true Christian.

Do you have any examples of this? As far as I know all examples of communism have come from violent revolutions or invasions, not evolution. On the other hand some communist regimes have evolved into socialist/capitalist hybrids. Ron has a misguided view of capitalism and communism.

Who gave you the authority to redefine the English language? A friend of mine held an EdD and taught English at USF. She told me that English definitions and usage are constantly changing over time. You're completely right about that. There has never been a compression of time and a redefinition of meaning of language. As whats occurred in the last three years. "Pussy grabbing", the redefinition of the integrity and moral values of Christians. The definition of what republicans stand and won't stand for. Factcheck...v

That totally explains why he pissed off the electorate enough to lose control of House of Representatives. He now has Pelosi right where he wants her. What a genius. trump has a women right where he wants her....mmm....? Which statement would that be? Donald Trump sexism tracker: Every offensive comment in one place https://www.telegraph.co.uk/women/politics/donald-trump-sexism-tracker-every-offensive-comment-in-one-place/

That would be a Friday and Scotch. I had a point I was trying to make. But my brain drifted into trump-think. Thus logic swirled down like _____in a toilet bowl.

Hannity - Interview With POTUS Trump At The Border https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2Qxepmi5ksA Cut to 4:20 and you can see how FOX and Hannity lead the US president around with a nose ring like a prize bull at a Texas cattle auction.

Its OK, don't be ashamed or embarrassed. Its merely a coping mechanism. Its called "nervous laughter". A small segment of the population do it as well. When trump's impeachment and trial start. You may find yourself laughing allot. If the laughter fails to cope with your depression I suggest you see your doctor. This may help: https://www.psychologicalscience.org/news/were-only-human/nervous-laughter-tears-of-joy.html https://www.psychologytoday.com/ca/blog/happiness-in-world/201101/why-we-laugh "Interestingly, this same nervous laughter has been noted to occur in many psychological experiments when subjects have found themselves placed under a high degree of emotional stress specifically involving perceived harm to others. Perhaps the most famous of these experiments were those conducted by Stanley Milgram, who set out to discover why some people will blindly follow authority (the impetus being a desire to understand the behavior of soldiers in Nazi Germany). He brought in test subjects and asked them to deliver a series of increasingly powerful electric shocks to an unseen person (the "learner") to see just how much voltage they would deliver before refusing to continue. An astounding 65% delivered the experiment's final jolt of 450 volts," A high voltage test, kinda funny eh?

The real sign of the times is seeing those with Trump derangement syndrome think he got elected because of Russia. That level of delousion is extreme at the very least Quiet Marc, your leader is speaking: Putin Hails Sunset of U.S. Global Domination Due To Mounting 'Mistakes' "Luckily this monopoly is disappearing. It's almost done," the Russian president said in his annual foreign policy speech. https://www.huffingtonpost.ca/entry/putin-fall-of-us-hegemony-mistakes_us_5bc91ac9e4b0a8f17eeaabce?ec_carp=1353784148340283015 "Russian President Vladimir Putin gloated Thursday about what he sees as the end of the United States’ world dominance due to growing “mistakes.” Putin also claimed America holds “some responsibility” for the disappearance of Washington Post columnist Jamal Khashoggi because the Saudi journalist was living in the U.S., he said in annual foreign policy speech, according to the Financial Times.... As for the U.S., he said that “empires often think they can make some little mistakes ... because they’re so powerful. But when the number of these mistakes keeps growing, it reaches a level they cannot sustain.” He added: “A country can get the sense from impunity that you can do anything. This is the result of the monopoly from a unipolar world ... . Luckily this monopoly is disappearing. It’s almost done.” Yet he also said President Donald Trump is continuing to work to improve ties with Russia" Why don't you send trump a calendar to hang on the walls of his prison cell. He can begin to "Marc" the days until he gets out! This is the new version of his 2018 one trump had in the Yellow Oval Room, of the WH. https://www.cnn.com/2018/10/02/europe/putin-calendar-2019-intl/index.html

Well in all of 2018 the US did admit: 1. Iraq: 29 people 2. Syria: 11 Its a good lesson for everyone that gets invaded by the US. Guided MK-82's, on the way. Just don't try to emigrate to the US afterwards. https://www.globalcitizen.org/en/content/us-accepted-refugees-2018/ IMO these numbers seem suspect and too low. But compassionate, caring and generous trump is in charge.

Twenty years ago a person subscribed to magazines. Now almost any information is available in minutes. I was looking at some larger (weight) capacity drones today. I ran across this: https://www.dji.com/ca/mg-1s For $15,000 Drone technology is available to almost anyone now. Including flip-flop wearing Yemeni tribesmen. http://www.worldpress.org/link.cfm?http://www.iran-daily.com/News/237218.html For the uninitiated. If you think that "the new domestically-developed Qasef K2 (Striker K2)" drone is actually domestically developed. As the Iranian story suggests. I have some oceanfront land for sale. Nice swaying palm trees, sandy beaches. On the north shore of Prudhoe Bay. Obviously the danger of jury-rigging the first drone and the second one together should be clear.

This is why trump and Ron like Xi of China: 'If you enter a camp, you never come out': inside China's war on Islam https://www.theguardian.com/world/2019/jan/11/if-you-enter-a-camp-you-never-come-out-inside-chinas-war-on-islam "They are reluctant to talk because the building is not a formal prison or university, but an internment camp where Muslim minorities, mainly Uighurs, are sent against their will and without trial for months or even years. Researchers and residents say southern Xinjiang, where the Luopu County No 1 Vocational Skills Training Centre is located, has borne the brunt of the government’s crackdown on Muslims because of its density of Uighurs and distance from major cities. “We have a saying in Hotan: If you go into a concentration camp in Luopu, you never come out,” said Adil Awut*, from Hotan City, who is now living overseas." Concentration camps, its all good when you're an enemy of the state. "Crickets from trump".

Showing once again that you are a lover of the truly fake news. What was he referring to? There were fake nudes going around of her. Of course somebody like Rush would snicker about that. Women are to be debased and should not have any position of power. Especially about guns and the constitution. Although, for them, blacks and Muslims shouldn't be involved with those two matters either. There was this however. Exasperated Democrats try to rein in Ocasio-Cortez https://www.politico.com/story/2019/01/11/alexandria-ocasio-cortez-democrats-establisment-1093728 However i would add that its frustrated republicans that voted for trump. There is an equal amount of democrats that are dissatisfied with the old established party. Representatives like her can stir them up and give voice to those with stagnant wages. All of the "great benefits" from the trump millionaires and billionaires, tax cuts. That of course never materialized for the working poor. trump and wall street have spent the $one trillion in tax cuts. The fed just stated that wages are not adding to inflation. Wall street and trump celebrated. Stocks went back up 10%.

How about if you see a threat to anyone, say something. Praising Allah and stockpiling guns do not make a "Radical Islamist". If they were making threats about the government or other groups, thats different. Including God praising(Christian) government hating nut-jobs from Idaho, etc. I may be a little more nuanced than you. I don't think I have any sworn enemies.

What's the point of his testimony? Seems like dog and pony show theatrics to me. If I was Pelosi I would leave the investigative stuff to Mueller and focus on passing legislation that the people want. I agree Its necessary because 33-35% of the remaining hardcore trump supporters. Need to withdraw their unconditional support for trump.Or at least a sizeable number of them. Impeachment rising from the Mueller report by itself can't be counted to turn republicans in congress. The constitution and rule of law. Certainly havn't changed republican senate minds yet. Sure its a dog and pony show. Sure it will be theater. But the trump base is driving everything in the trump/republican party.Until they abandon him republican senators won't. Thats the reason for the wall, the reason for the shutdown, all the theater, drama of tariffs, NK dismantlement, etc. Distract, sow some fear and have trump as the sole savior. Discredit Mueller and what do you have? Status quo and no senate support for impeachment. What, do you think the Mueller report, authored by a republican. Is going to be rubber stamped by trump supporting republican senators? Ah no! Furthermore, there is important work for the trump gang to do left. Republicans need trump. Trump White House urging allies to prepare for possible RBG departure https://www.politico.com/story/2019/01/10/trump-white-house-urging-allies-to-prepare-for-possible-rbg-departure-1096102 So what he colluded? So what he was going to make a couple hundred million for selling out Ukraine and US national interests. Three, count-em, three, trump/republican SC appointments in only three years.Its 30-40 years of conservative control of the SC. Guns, coal, global warming, etc. will all be protected. There will be gold plated statues of trump in front of every Christian evangelical church in America. Praise the lord.

Considering a judge signed the warrants, you are clearly wrong. I will be happy to revisit when more information becomes available. Judges make mistakes. That's what appellate courts are for. All the way up to the Supreme Court. In this particular case, I think the judge is way out of line. This is far more of a 'fishing expedition' than a 'search based on probable cause.' There needs to be more (a lot more) than 'he had access' to justify a search warrant. Agree. Don't forget there is the entire DNA genealogy analysis. Crime solvers embraced genetic genealogy https://www.sciencenews.org/article/genetic-genealogy-forensics-top-science-stories-2018-yir IMO if a single DNA sample is available, within a couple years. All LE will need is a list of names of potential suspects. Then go directly to the database.

New stage, new drama, different objectives, different strategies. Enjoy the show IMO the only people "enjoying the show" is President Putin and his circle of kleptocrats. Together with the Russian, NK and Chinese people.

I am not a Roman Catholic and do not know any of these individuals. Applicable scripture until hypothetical Muslim neighbor starts building an arsenal and giving glory to Allah (Satan). Then I notify law enforcement. I hate to be the one that tells you, Ron. But part of all religions is to give praise to their "god". So for Muslims giving Praise to Allah is part of daily life. Furthermore Americans love to "stockpile" guns. On any gun forum, ownership of 1-2 dozen guns is not unusual. So what is the tipping point for you when a neighbor becomes a security risk. Worthy of a report to LE? Non-Christian? What about a atheist that stockpiles guns?
