Not strong enough because they did not have the wikirapist in custody.

If they get him in custody, they can move forward with the charges then.

The pollsters of Pew Research asked Americans who they supported in the 2020 contest, Trump or former vice president Joe Biden, and then how many of their friends supported either the same candidate or the other.

Nearly 9-in-10 Trump and Biden supporters said that a lot or some of their friends supported the same candidate as they did. About three-quarters said that they knew at most a few people who supported the candidate that they didn’t — and about 40 percent of each group knew no one at all who supported the other candidate.

Pew Research: Few Trump or Biden supporters have close friends who back the opposing candidate


I guess I am one of those outliers.

Almost all of my friends and golf partners are American conservatives...and backers of Trump.

They know that conversations about politics are probably better not undertaken.

We deal with it...and have decided that our decidedly different political views are not going to interfere with our friendships.

I am an old, white male working in one of the most wealthy and conservative counties in America. Goes with the territory.

When the subject sneaks into the conversation, I try to handle it diplomatically...usually with a variation on, "Trump is a ******* moron...and one of the most despicable humans ever to gain prominence in America. The people who continue to support him are either insane, terminally stupid...or both."

That usually leads us away from the politics.

How could they get him in custody when they stopped the preliminary investigation? They don't have a reason for a warrant.

I don't own a crow. That seems to be more up your alley. You will be eating him in November.

Resume the investigation.

Farmerman isn't capable of coming up with intelligent arguments to defend his demented ideology, so he just lies about people instead.

@Frank Apisa,
But Frank, doesn't that mean you choose to spend social time with people who are insane or terminally stupid (or both)?

President Trump- speaking tonight from two teleprompters- just mocked Joe Biden for using a teleprompter.


I know, can it get any funnier? I'm waiting for his talk on the sanctity of marriage and family.

Do you know of anybody who is going to vote for Hunter Biden?


Ask Builder, he reads all the Alt-right blogs......How about this B, don't vote for Trump because his Grandfather ran bordellos on the West Coast or the Yukon. Grand dad came here to avoid military service for the Kaiser.

Killary's speech on the same topic would be high comedy too.

I don't even bother voting in Australia, though my boy has his green card now. I don't think he's too interested in your political situation there.

Linguistically, does "one-armed hanger" decrive from "one-armed bandit"?

Sorry, but they support a ghoul who’s killing the earth, oppressing POC and immigrants, and basically taking a daily dump on everything decent. You condemn Trump supporters online, but in your private life they get a pass- because they golf with you?

It’s an ugly, inconvenient thing, but Trump’s presidency understandably made a lot of people of conscience make hard decisions about who they draw into, and out of their circles.

I don’t understand it when people I know try to tell me that their support of this evil, poisonous regime “shouldn’t affect our friendship”.

Again, sorry but in my opinion if your relationships with Trump supporters went on, unchanged from before he came down that escalator until now, then you’re
just talking **** here.

No, not at all. A one-armed bandit is a slot machine:

A "one-armed hanger" refers to hanging wallpaper, a challenging-enough job for people with two arms:

I thank you for your opinion about me, Snood, even though I think you are full of ****.
