No, because on my (obviously simple) read of it was there was no intent on the part of the person being investigated and that person cooperated fully. I’d have preferred the Independent prosecutor (or whatever his title is) not litter his conclusion on the evidence that there were no charges to bring with a bunch of gratuitous amateur matchbox physician nonsense. I’ve sat in depositions asking for answers about events and statements from 10 years prior and the “I don’t recall” answer is frequent and for the most part legit. I’d also prefer (and I know it’s an impossibility) the media report the facts instead of only the intentional throwaways of a partial prosecutor. Funny that a doctor has a better grasp of the duty and responsibilities of an ethical prosecutor than a lawyer which Elvado is. Kudos, Dr. McQ Ethical prosecutor like Fani perhaps?

I forget sh!t all the time and am far from demented. Do I want 2 octogenarians as the choice for president? No, but that’s apparently what I’m gonna get. No way am I voting for a clear dishonest grifter who has no skin in the game on making our country better (only interested in whatever profit he can make for himself) and who is demonstrably less in charge of his faculties than the guy that is in office, who despite Dr Elvado’s medical professional conclusion, has a pretty successful term of results so far. There’s also no question that Mr Hur has zero medical expertise yet went out of his way to load his findings up with politically motivated superfluous nonsense. If a lawyer can masquerade as a doctor, i can certainly do the reverse because my grandfather was a lawyer, and a damn good one at that. Just to be clear, you would have preferred charges? Because here, there was plenty criminal.

is there any way to turn this around next season? Lose Big, rinse, repeat… We are not built to compete with top level college teams right now. Cooley inherited a steaming pile. If he can turn this around in one more year, I will be absolutely shocked.

The road out of basketball perdition is long and chock full of potholes.
That said, this team is light years from respectability on the Court.

Why would you come to that conclusion when Hur specifically lays out why he will not prosecute? Again, you have completely mischaracterized what Hur wrote. You can draw your own conclusions all you want, it doesn’t mean they are right or align with the facts no matter how many times you write them. This is a perfect example of right-wing messaging. It doesn't matter what the facts are grab a narrative and then relentlessly repeat it. Elvado has it mastered. I admire your ardor. When his diagnosis gets confirmed and/or he steps down, give me a shout.

I read Hur’s report. He concludes that Biden willfully took and disclosed classified material. He said Biden did not know when he was Vice President. He said Biden did not know when his son died within a range of years. In his ranting press conference, he invoked the Rosary Ring from Our Lady of ?. Too feeble is my conclusion. There are many Lady of ?, but it’s the same one. Maybe he said the name of one of the places all over the world where the “Lady” has appeared (allegedly for the non-believers). Maybe you don’t know the name of the place and he was correct since he is a devout Catholic. It’s the same Lady some of us prayed to when you called for prayers for your son, our future Hoya alum. It’s up to you to believe. But, go ahead and keep ragging about a feeble old man… Nice try. He could not remember the name of the Church he wanted to invoke as proof of his memory. He is a demented old man being enabled by people who need a useful idiot.

As always, you must invoke Trump to inoculate Oatmeal brain. Trump is not in office. Too feeble to prosecute is. Did you bother even reading the text of what Hur wrote? Dan posted a link. “Too feeble to prosecute” is a wildly inaccurate take that you keep repeating. Also, “Trump is not in office” is a woefully bad argument when they are both running for president. Making comparisons between them is just a common sense thing to do. I read Hur’s report. He concludes that Biden willfully took and disclosed classified material. He said Biden did not know when he was Vice President. He said Biden did not know when his son died within a range of years.

Sorry to hear that. Luckily you don’t have the nuclear codes…. Funny. Right on cue the grifter in his speech before the NRA in Harrisburg yesterday he thought it was Saturday! And your ignorance of the military chain of command in order to launch a nuclear strike must rival that of your ignorance of the O & M of UH-60 Black Hawks! I take it you've never served in a hostile nonpermissive environment rendering legal advice to a two star general as I have. OTOH: "I can guarantee you, you can take it to the bank, that there'll be, that the nuclear triggers are secure and we're not going to do — we're not going to allow anything crazy, illegal, immoral or unethical to happen," Milley told her, according to a transcript of the call obtained by the authors. "The president alone can order the use of nuclear weapons. But he doesn't make the decision alone. One person can order it, several people have to launch it," he said later in the conversation. www.nbcnews.com/news/military/milley-acted-prevent-trump-misusing-nuclear-weapons-war-china-book-n1279187As always, you must invoke Trump to inoculate Oatmeal brain.

I am sorry. I equate too feeble to be prosecuted with gone. You may have your own standard. Peace. See Dan’s post below re: what was considered. Let’s ask Francois Mitterrand, Helmut Kohl and the President of Mexico whoever that might be…. His brain is oatmeal.

Who could have seen this coming? SS you missed this one from June 2021. So he met the unions in person, they didn’t notice that he’s “gone”, but you did from your phone/computer/TV, and he convinced them to endorse him? Do you also believe Obama is running the government? Are your news sources FoxNews, OAN & NewsMax? I am sorry. I equate too feeble to be prosecuted with gone. You may have your own standard. Peace.

As long as he does the demented whisper to his supplicant media it is all good. Anyone who says he is not gone is fooling himself. Who could have seen this coming? SS you missed this one from June 2021.

A Bridge Too Far. His opponent should ask him what day it is. He will Be even money not to know. This is absolutely ridiculous. Today. The problem is that it may not be ridiculous in four or five years, and that's damn scary. Would you bet your last dollar that he could tell you the date without notes? Honest question.

Also it’s becoming a real issue with independent voters according to polling. Republican messaging on issues, no matter how overblown or downright false it may be, seems to penetrate much deeper than Democratic messaging. I don’t know why, but it definitely seems to be the case in the current political climate. The Dems are terrible at messaging(I believe purposely) but it's really the "news" outlets that are at fault here. If every outlet calls it a crisis, folks will believe it... The Republicans have Fox News, Newsmax & OAN. There aren't any equivalent channels on the Dem side. Republicans also have influencers like Charlie Kirk, Ben Shapiro, Candace Owens, Tucker Carlson, Glenn Beck. Again there aren't any equivalent types on the Dem side. Dear Lord. The three major networks are the DNC house band.

And setting aside mental acuity, the grifter is clearly a sociopath. I'd love to hear a reasoned contrary argument but I don't think one exists. Biden may have all the negative attributes of the career politician that he is but he is not a sociopath. The state of the electorate is such that “I am not sociopath” is probably a winning slogan. I’ll say the same thing I said in 2020: if Biden can show up in the first debate and demonstrate that he doesn’t have dementia, he’ll win the election fairly easily. A Bridge Too Far. His opponent should ask him what day it is. He will Be even money not to know.

Sadly, I cannot point to any particular Republican that I would support. Trump is unacceptable to me. The Court won’t take him out which would have been a neat but legally specious trick. While I mostly agree with your descriptions of the parties and their drivers, I think you left out the Open Borders crowd as being a Democrat force.I find both nominees presumptive to be unacceptable. I might vote for RFK Jr just for s and giggles. Agreed, it's very sad that a staunch conservative like yourself can't point to a single Republican as a beacon of hope for your party. It's truly shameful. Who are you referring to exactly when you speak of the "open border" crowd? I hope you do vote for Kennedy since he'll pull much more from Trump than Biden. I think you know exactly who the open borders crowd is. It took an election year to get Oatmeal Brains to even admit the border is a problem.

And this is the problem the Court faced yesterday. The 14th Amendment (and specifically Section 3) can’t mean anything if it means different things in different states. At the same time, it can’t mean anything if no one has the ability to invoke it. No question there either. If nothing else, the Court should set a standard for this action and announce to which offices/officers it applies. If January 6 was insurrection it needs to be so everywhere. So too if it was not.

I am not by nature a process freak, but there has to be more than individualized actions by state level functionaries. If the Court decides he should be ineligible for the ballot I will jump for joy but the Colorado case before them yesterday was crap. But aren’t state level functionaries the ones who determine candidate eligibility? We don’t have a truly federal election for president, as you well know, so the only place where ineligibility would arise is on the state level, no? And this is the problem the Court faced yesterday. The 14th Amendment (and specifically Section 3) can’t mean anything if it means different things in different states.

I find both nominees presumptive to be unacceptable. I might vote for RFK Jr just for s and giggles. I know this wasn’t the thrust of your point, but what makes removing him “legally specious”? You have even referred to Trump as insurrectionist. Do you really think the drafters of the 14th Amendment really wanted a person who incited an insurrection to be able to hold the office of president? That flies in the face of reason. The whole “official or not” argument is ridiculous. The bottom line Is there is no way anyone who drafted the Constitution or its amendments would have intended for it to be read in a way as to allow an insurrectionist to become president. If anything, the specious argument is one that would allow Trump to be president again. I am not by nature a process freak, but there has to be more than individualized actions by state level functionaries. If the Court decides he should be ineligible for the ballot I will jump for joy but the Colorado case before them yesterday was crap.
