I just noticed this bit from another one of our threads: A more efficient approach -- I'm watching it in real time over at the Peterson Obsession Board -- is to simply dismiss all the accounts, sight unseen, accompanied by snorts of derision and, among the higher organisms there, airy but factually-...

Pardoning Trump would be a great political move. It would cement Trump's guilt with a lot of the population without having to go through trials that could have bad results for those pursuing them. Nah. The introduction of the presidential pardon is the first step down the road to the Republic’s end...

Trump must be pretty good at sex. According to her, he made her (a porn actor) pass out during sex.

My guess is that most miracle stories evolve according to need and a continuing revisitation of the event. Over time, diffe...
