So he doesn't think it was a correct verdict. NOBODY here can truly say if it was correct

Derrida and Foucault would be pleased with your interpretation. Postmodern liberals see what they want to see and hear what they want to hear. Words have no ontic referent, logic has no foundation, morality has no transcendental perspective, and t***h is wh**ever you say it is. Images are subject to interpretation.

Ya. Some folks are harder to talk to. Some are harder to listen to.

Interpret this.

Personally, I'd blame the corset again on this one. The pinched facial expression and apparent inability to draw a deep breath or raise his arm fully....

That is the military salute as taught in recruit training (boot camp) while standing at attention. After boot camp, while on the move, the specs for a proper salute are relaxed. I probably saluted 50,000 times while in the Navy.

"... ...A little after midnight, Donald Trump apparently saw something on Fox News that inspired him to publish a tweet: “Nancy Pelosi just stated that ‘it is dangerous to let the v**ers decide Trump’s fate.’ … In other words, she thinks I’m going to win and doesn’t want to take a chance on letting the v**ers decide.”

The president added, “Wow, she’s CRAZY!”

This morning, Sen. Marco Rubio (R-Fla.), who really ought to know better, picked up on Trump’s line, publishing a similarly misguided missive: “Speaker of the U.S. House of [sic] says its ‘dangerous’ to ‘let the e******n decide’ if [the president] should remain in office. T***slation? ‘We can’t trust backwards, uneducated, everyday people to decide the Presidency, this must be decided by the enlightened people in Washington D.C.’”

"Since this is apparently poised to be the Republican Party's new toy, it's worth pausing to shine a light on reality. Yesterday afternoon, around 2 p.m. (ET), Speaker Pelosi sent a letter to House members on the congressional impeachment inquiry. It read in part:

"... ... The facts are uncontested: that the President abused his power for his own personal, political benefit, at the expense of our national security interests.

"The weak response to these hearings has been, 'Let the e******n decide.' That dangerous position only adds to the urgency of our action, because the President is jeopardizing the integrity of the 2020 e******ns."

Even those with modest reading-comprehension sk**ls can see Pelosi did not write what Trump and Rubio claimed.

On the contrary, the Speaker raised an important point that Trump, Rubio, and other Republicans have struggled to address.

As we discussed last week, a variety of prominent GOP voices -- former Ambassador Nikki Haley, Sen. Lamar Alexander (R-Tenn.), Rep. Mac Thornberry (R-Texas), et al. -- have made the case that lawmakers should skip impeachment proceedings and simply allow the 2020 e******n to decide Trump's fate. If the American e*****rate has a problem with Trump's abuses, they can choose someone new. If v**ers are unmoved by the president's corruption, they make that clear, too.

The trouble, of course, is the nature of the scandal itself. One of the key pillars of the whole controversy has been a simple fact: Trump intended to c***t in the e******n by way of an extortion scheme. The president, rightly or wrongly, saw Joe Biden as a credible e*******l threat, which led him to push a vulnerable foreign ally to cook up some dirt Republicans could use before E******n Day... ..."

To myself and millions of other people, Pelosi is actually becoming increasingly irrelevant.

She has proven that, by reluctantly standing by treason General; Adam Schitt.

Pelosi knew full well that the Senate wouldn't follow like sheep.

Pelosi knows that the impeachment charade is the biggest liability to the left.

At his age, ten years more than mine, and a golfer, he may have even more rotator cuff instability than I. I can raise my left elbow properly, but the right is a bit frozen for now.

Obama couldn't salute for shut! Damon autocorrect! Remember the coffee cup salute? Precious!

I am a half inch shy of five feet and struggle to stay over a hundred pounds except when, as now, my arthritis requires inactivity and steroids. Then I balloon up. Right now I'm at 132! Its been a tough couple months and even my fat clothes fit weird and it hurts to walk.

Fortunately, I have always had a k**ler cute butt and a fairly decent rack that take up the extra weight or slack. Otherwise, I'd probably be too embarrassed to even answer your respectfully worded post.

I find seats on airlines to be quite roomy and usually retain my carryon backpack for a pillow when I stretch out for a nap. Unlike my 6ft 3in ex. He enjoyed aisle seats. Or said he did. He usually stood, next to the bathroom. Motion sickness!

Trump pardoned military people who had been victims of military injustice. Period.

Hi, CD.

I'm well enough.

Hope you didn't stain your tie.

The boy is gaining weight, slowly, and keeping warm, getting to know his big sister...

Lots of hair.

Smells good.

Plopped his tiny little self down in an as yet uncelebrated corner of my heart, and now I know his name.
