Re: In other news
I think my point is people on here are only interested in expressing outrage when it’s a negative Republican story. You have absolutely no interest in discussing a humanitarian crisis on the southern border, the continuing homeless and drug addiction crisis in all the major cities and the increasing violence in major cities. There’s no point posting in the Biden thread, it’s all tumbleweed in there, you’re all still obsessed with Trump!

Because he is a disgusting human being and a genuine threat to democracy. He is very relevant in the world, hence why its important to discuss.

Awful tragedy unfolding. I wonder if panels not fireproof.

Re: In other news
Not like this they don't. I don't agree with the policy, but if they're going to go through with it then send them to NYC or Washington DC or send them here to SF. Don't send people to Martha's Vineyard. Macca, your complaint that my comments about this stunt were made simply because I'm anti-Trump or anti Republican is a straw man of an argument. I'm anti abuse of human beings. And I'll bite just this once, for the record, I've been anti Trump for 40+ years. And I'm not anti Republican party. I'm also not pro Biden, but you'd know that from reading the Trump thread 2019/20. Nevertheless, there is a fundamental difference between the 2 men. One is a life long criminal, and one is a career politician.

Re: In other news
It’s an excellent post Pete and of course I understand what you’re saying, I’m not a monster.
All I’m saying is though is that it’s time to leave Trump in the past and start talking about what the current administration is doing in relation to these crises!

He's out of prison. On home detention. Does he even have a home? Crazy.Shabu wrote: ↑Fri Sep 16, 2022 12:17 am Back in 2014 there was this podcast out called Serial. It was about the murder of an 18 year old girl in 1999 and her boyfriend being found guilty despite there not being that much evidence.
At the time many expected a retrial but that didn't happen.
Now prosecutors are saying let him go as they don't think the conviction is a good one.
Bloke's now 42 & been banged up since he was a teenager.

His family have been supportive of him the whole time. Hopefully he'll transition back to 'normal' life ok.

Re: In other news
I can't find the original thread (does it still exist?) so here will do:-
McCanns lose court challenge over detective's book
How much does it cost to bring a case to the ECHR?
McCanns lose court challenge over detective's book
The parents of Madeleine McCann have lost the latest stage of a legal battle over how judges handled claims made by a Portuguese police detective.
Kate and Gerry McCann appealed to the European Court of Human Rights over the way Portugal handled their libel challenge over Goncalo Amaral's claims.
He alleged in a book that they were involved in their daughter's disappearance.

Re: In other news
His sister, or maybe she's a cousin, has had a podcast out for the several years as well. I listened to it initially, because she filled in big holes in the storyline on the Serial pod, but she would go on these wild tangents about other matters that I would find uninteresting, so I stopped listening. I guess it was her sleuthing that ultimately made the court overturn the case. Also, I saw this morning that Serial has a new episode out updating all of this. I'll give it a listen later today.

Alan Miller: Lethal injection execution of triple murderer called off because Alabama officials couldn't find a vein in time
This is the bit that made me laugh out loud:
The 57-year-old had opted for nitrogen hypoxia instead of lethal injection due to a fear of needles, but his lawyers said officials lost his paperwork.
