In my experiences with him, he impressed me as a nice guy, with intelligence. But, as the very old, by now, ad. used to say, "A mind is a terrible thing to waste." Politely, I did not ask him what he thought of DNA evidence, or anything related.

That illustration reminded me sadly of the the Joseph McCarthy and J.Edgar Hoover era.

BirdMan1 replies on Nov 17, 2019:

@LucyLoohoo I got the quote wrong, but here is the story, and McCarthy never answered the question, apparently: On June 9, 1954, the 30th day of the Army–McCarthy hearings, Welch challenged Roy Cohn to provide U.S. Attorney General Herbert Brownell Jr. with McCarthy's list of 130 Communists or subversives in defense plants "before sundown". McCarthy stepped in and said that if Welch was so concerned about persons aiding the Communist Party, he should check on a man in his Boston law office named Fred Fisher, who had once belonged to the National Lawyers Guild, which Brownell had called "the legal mouthpiece of the Communist Party".[5] Welch had privately discussed the matter with Fisher beforehand and the two agreed Fisher should not participate in the hearings. Welch dismissed Fisher's association with the NLG as a youthful indiscretion and attacked McCarthy for naming the young man before a nationwide television audience without prior warning or previous agreement to do so: Welch (left) being questioned by Senator Joe McCarthy (right) at the Army–McCarthy hearings, June 9, 1954. Until this moment, Senator, I think I have never really gauged your cruelty or your recklessness. Fred Fisher is a young man who went to the Harvard Law School and came into my firm and is starting what looks to be a brilliant career with us....Little did I dream you could be so reckless and so cruel as to do an injury to that lad. It is true he is still with Hale and Dorr. It is true that he will continue to be with Hale and Dorr. It is, I regret to say, equally true that I fear he shall always bear a scar needlessly inflicted by you. If it were in my power to forgive you for your reckless cruelty I would do so. I like to think I am a gentleman, but your forgiveness will have to come from someone other than me. When McCarthy tried to renew his attack, Welch interrupted him: Senator, may we not drop this? We know he belonged to the Lawyers Guild ... Let us not assassinate this lad further, Senator. You've done enough. Have you no sense of decency, sir? At long last, have you left no sense of decency? McCarthy tried to ask Welch another question about Fisher, and Welch interrupted: Mr. McCarthy, I will not discuss this further with you. You have sat within six feet of me and could have asked me about Fred Fisher. You have seen fit to bring it out. And if there is a God in Heaven it will do neither you nor your cause any good. I will not discuss it further. I will not ask Mr. Cohn any more witnesses. You, Mr. Chairman, may, if you will, call the next witness. At this, those watching the proceedings broke into applause.

I'm not as think as you smart I am...

I do not know about Boris, but, sadly, Dumpy is not eligible for a Darwin award.

This made me laugh. Do you think there will be a fight over the results?

KKGator comments on Nov 6, 2019:

That is excellent!!! Kentucky doesn't have the same kind of automatic recount policies as some of the other states. Bevin doesn't have a leg to stand on.

The road to trump has been slowly building for a long time, which is why many did not see this coming. Bill Maher and Michael Moore saw but no one really listened to them. Many wanted Bernie but they had no clue how corrupt both political parties have become. There has always been a level of ...

BirdMan1 replies on Nov 4, 2019:

In terms of corruption, I believe it was the DNC, and that twit from Florida, Debbie Wasserman-Schultz, who stole the nomination from Bernie. I, too, think he would have won.

Smack down!

These fucking evangelicals all feel this way, you have to be really stupid to believe the earth is 10,000 years old and all the crap in the bible and now this? That confirms it!

BirdMan1 replies on Nov 4, 2019:

10,000? Archbishop James Ussher “determined” that the planet was created in 4004 BC, on Feb. 12th, at 6 PM. He lived from 1581-1656. Others came up with Oct. 22nd, of 4004 bc, and so on. I certainly can be mistaken, but it is my belief that the E's are stuck on Ussher's date. Feb. 12th, and at nothing other than 6 PM. Now, just how special is that? These fools have a need to feel like the victims of some major plot, still being crucified. It's the "War against Jesus," scenario that G.W.Bush, with his glittering genius "Born Again" mind referred to.

His FIRST LIE!!!!

I don’t need him gone before the election. He’s performing a public service: educating a lot of people who have not been paying attention.

BirdMan1 replies on Nov 3, 2019:

I have had a similar spin on his having been elected. It has shown, sadly, just how stupid, and gullible, so many of our fellow citizens are, at least 60 million, or so. That could be very useful information, down the road.

Freedompath comments on Nov 2, 2019:

I believe he will be right there until we vote in 2020...for some unforeseen reason he ‘skates’ through every criminal act! I think it is ‘luck’ more than anything! And, he does have his ‘cult’ to propel him forward! But, now he could resign...I give that a 50/50!

BirdMan1 replies on Nov 3, 2019:

@Freedompath My favorite definition of luck is that it is the meeting of preparation and opportunity. He's been polishing his false image for years, and I would call that preparation. The opportunity came when there was a field of numerous bozos, like N.J.'s Christie, who did not know how to grab the spotlight, manipulate the media, like he does.

altschmerz comments on Nov 2, 2019:

I believe he will survive until 2020 and that he will be re-elected. I don’t *want* him to, mind you, but I think he will. When I think too hard about it I get incredibly frustrated, so I really try not to think that hard. :-(

BirdMan1 replies on Nov 3, 2019:

I do not think he will be re-elected, but that's just my sense of it, for what it's worth.

Part of the ACA was repealed. But still... He said that would happen with a day or so (or whatever it was). If trump had it his way, he would make it that people w/o insurance could be denied at the ER.

I have FAR more faith that the military will honor their oaths to the protect and defend the Constitution, than I do anyone else who has taken an oath to do the same. Definitely more than 45, that's for fucking sure. Unfortunately, I cannot say the same for civilian law enforcement. I don't ...

BirdMan1 replies on Nov 1, 2019:

This is the kind of thing I've been hoping for. If he's impeached, it will probably fall to the military to haul his fat ass out of the W.H. I just hope that they check his baggage for stolen silverware!
