If there really was intelligent life on other planets, we'd be sending them foreign aid.

Conservatives see George Orwell's "1984" as a cautionary tale.  Progressives view it as a "how to" manual.

My wife often says to me, "You are evil and must be destroyed." She may be right.

Liberals believe one should never let reason, logic and facts get in the way of a good emotional argument.

For our attorneys here:

I have been seeing a bunch of coverage this morning talking about closing arguments in the NY trial. The big thing coming up is that the defense has to give their closing arguments first, then the prosecution goes last. Everyone is saying this is usually the reverse (some are arguing rights of the accused and it being part of "innocent until proven guilty"), and that doing it this way is very out of the ordinary. Is that true, or is it done more often?

On another note, I see that the White House (as opposed to Biden's campaign) is supposedly preparing multiple statements, based on Trump being judged innocent or guilty. Seems like more banana republic to me.

I thought it typically went Prosecution/Defense/Prosecution's rebuttal

If it is going Defense/Prosecution does defense get a chance at rebuttal?

Dunno about the order of operations bit.

But the multiple statements being prepared is pretty typical. FDR (or was it Ike as allied commander?) had 2 speeches prepared for after thr D-Day invasion, depending upon the results.  I think Nixon also did the same for the moon landings.  Anytime there's a somewhat momentus occasion whose outcome is not certain the white house has at least 2 responses prepared.

Understood. I should have clarified that what I was reading suggested the statements would be geared towards "We got those filty MAGAs" or "Those filthy MAGAs escaped justice, versus "justice was served" or "accept the legal process".

Good. America needs him to concentrate on the AK-50.

I'd like to think the Congressman will learn a lesson by having nearly lost his seat, but I'm guessing that's not going to happen.

Based on what he was spewing before the election I highly doubt it and I think it's more of a case of he thinks the more democrat the better despite that R next to his name.

Nerdrotic lives in the San Antonio area now.  On his livestream today, he said all the commercials on the TV at his gym were anti-Brandon ads almost on a loop.  The incumbent spent a butt load of money defending his seat.  He should at least feel some pressure to at least keep up appearances.

Not sure what was up in El Paso County, but Brandon got 382 out of 19K votes cast, and when all other counties were done, El Paso was still only 1 of 24 precincts reporting.
