So if my business model is "stealing food from supermarkets," when I get caught, I should just claim that "incarceration will destroy my business" and they'll let me continue? I don't think so. Theft is theft.

Communism is classless, which I'm fairly certain we're never going to go to (oligarchy and communism cannot coexist). But it's definitely socialism, straight out of ol' Karl's playbook. Donald Trump -- Marxist. But it's okay with his base 'cause he hates the same people they do?

United States Constitution, Article I, Section 9, Clause 2: The Privilege of the Writ of Habeas Corpus shall not be suspended, unless when in Cases of Rebellion or Invasion the public Safety may require it. Pretty sure she's neither Rebellion nor Invasion nor a threat to public Safety.

I guess that depends on whether they take the "RINO" label as dismissive closure, or just the beginning of a lasting, festering resentment (and as it is MAGA we're talking about here, I'll bet it isn't the first one).

I go with, "I'm experiencing a problem, and hoping you can help me with it." Or words to that effect. The usual response is on the order of, "Certainly! Let's see what we can do!"

Briefly wondered if maybe this is 3D chess... that it's Bill Clinton implicated and not TCF... doesn't fly, though; Democrats would gleefully watch a bus go back and forth repeatedly over Clinton if he were the pedophile.

Oh c'mon, now; his obsession with his press coverage is not the reason he can't function. Doesn't help, but I'd guess it has more to do with a high BAC, or maybe a little bit of withdrawal.
