  1. I’m sure it would be entertaining to read your example of a legitimate Republican.
  2. It wasn’t a separate trial. “Though Judge Engoron ruled on some of the major elements of James' suit against Trump and his associates, there remain six other claims that will be argued at trial.” again: https://www.npr.org/2023/09/26/1201893212/new-york-judge-order-letitia-james-trump-fraud-case
  3. What does anybody think would happen if the IDF marched into Gaza behind hundreds of Israeli civilians?
  4. Saw it mentioned on 34 and Counting that he would be in a wrestle off after first semester.
  5. If my memory is correct, the two sides submitted their written arguments to the court and the judge ruled on that. There was a court convened where he read his finding but I don’t remember how much either side interacted, if at all. This was the point where all the hoopla started because some real estate appraiser submitted an appraisal with extremely low valuations for Trump’s properties. Trump didn’t attend this proceeding but had plenty to say about it. Did a quick search and found this: https://www.npr.org/2023/09/26/1201893212/new-york-judge-order-letitia-james-trump-fraud-case So there wasn’t a previous trial, just part of the charges were granted summary judgement
  6. Thousands of Gazans waving white flags head south along IDF evacuation route https://www.timesofisrael.com/thousands-of-gazans-waving-white-flags-head-south-along-idf-evacuation-route/
  7. All these points have been made. Blinken and Biden -weren’t those reindeer - have pled with Bibi to pause. Bibi said “nah.” His goal is for IDF to be able to walk through Gaza without being attacked. The Israelis are fed up with Hamas, who wear civilian clothes and hide behind their wives and children, lobbing rockets and shooting them. As I said on the first page of this thread, using human shields is not going to be effective this time. It’s not. More are realizing this and heading south now. Hopefully, they’ll separate and maintain distance from Hamas. The Israelis have made every effort to avoid civilian casualties while maintaining their goal. If Hamas wants peace they should stop shooting, put down their arms, and release the hostages. In other words, surrender. No exchanges, no conditions.
  8. “At the start of the trial, Engoron noted that no parties in the case requested a jury trial and that the law mandated a “bench trial” decided by a judge. “You have probably noticed or already read that this case has no jury,” Engoron said. “Neither side asked for one and, in any event, the remedies sought are all equitable in nature, mandating that the trial be a bench trial, one that a judge alone decides.”” https://www.cnn.com/politics/live-news/trump-civil-fraud-trial-11-03-23/h_fef9333c0358b61562c48578c2c0f80d While it isn’t memorialized in print, it is simply more likely to find one person to have made a flawed decision than a judge and jury. It makes an appeal more likely to be viewed with respect to finding, as well as procedure.
  9. Which means that it will be more likely to be overturned on appeal.
  10. I knew it was a substantial population, but not exact. The issue is, that that is not the case in Gaza or many other Muslim areas around the world, including the French no go zones. Infidels are not tolerated. In Gaza many of the Palestinians actively support Hamas, yet are claimed to be innocents when they suffer for their activity. Bibi said he would cease the fighting for a return of the hostages, yet around the world few are pressuring Hamas to release the hostages - over twenty are Americans - while many are protesting Israel’s efforts to rescue them. You can tell a lot about the Muslim’s attitude by how their women dress.
  11. It’s not right to award points to a wrestler who doesn’t score them.
  12. Your associate may be a wonderful human being, I don’t know, you haven’t said anything about how he treats his wife, daughters, or women in general. There are muslims in Israel who live normal lives. As has been said, there are a few who serve in the Knesset. There are cases of honor killing and genital mutilation in this country. Then there’s the idea that it’s honorable to lie to infidels. If you want to diagnose something, diagnose how long you, your humble friend, and I would last in Gaza.
  13. Like Milkovich says, if you let it happen to you.
  14. Popup on video says “Merrill has the fastest handshake in wrestling.”
