  • Wings down is battle stance. I want to see warp drive stance.

  • Because no one would want to loan them money after that.

  • Fucking spam has ruined another communications medium.

  • The Bible condones slavery. And many slave holders invoked the Bible to justify slavery.

    From Frederick Douglas' first autobiography:

    Were I to be again reduced to the chains of slavery, next to that enslavement, I should regard being the slave of a religious master the greatest calamity that could befall me. For of all slaveholders with whom I have ever met, religious slaveholders are the worst. I have ever found them the meanest and basest, the most cruel and cowardly, of all others.

  • Full blown de jure chattel slavery? Yes, I would be surprised.

    Slavery didn't end because people realized it was bad. They always knew that. It ended because of the industrial revolution.

  • A decent person would be ashamed of themselves.

    (Hint: he's not)

  • Congress has no oversight of state prosecutors. Jordan is using his position of power and trust to pervert the course of justice. This is blatant obstruction of justice.

  • Blackstone Inc. is an American alternative investment management company based in New York City. Blackstone's private equity business has been one of the largest investors in leveraged buyouts in the last three decades, while its real estate business has actively acquired commercial real estate. Blackstone is also active in credit, infrastructure, hedge funds, insurance, secondaries, and growth equity. As of June 2023, the company's total assets under management were approximately US$1 trillion, making it the largest alternative investment firm globally

    Yeah, I'm going to suggest that this oligarch keep his mouth shut, ere the revolution eats him alive.

  • The irony is that you're the one failing to bring anything of substance to the discussion. For example, comments consisting solely of insults.

    I'll let you get in the last word.

  • The irony is almost palpable.

  • It’s amazing that you spent so much energy debating an entirely irrelevant point

    Can you believe I even read the lawsuit?! Crazy, I know!

  • But "charged"? Come on. That's clearly trying to obfuscate that it's a private lawsuit.

  • What's obvious is that my assessment is probably correct. The lawsuit will fail because the "actual point being made" is not a legal point but a political one. And certainly not a criminal point.

  • But we're discussing your disagreement with my assessment that "charge" is willfully dishonest.
