Who is their hosting provider and Domain registrar?

Sounds like someone should post the abuse links to report that site.

Galileo, the homeboy who discovered Jupiter’s moons and Saturn’s rings, was 43 years old when the first British settlers landed at Jamestown.

Thanks Nougat. I appreciate this response. Especially the “MAY implicate” part. It’s a nuance that was lost on me.

Not exactly.

It’s more like saying “answering this question may create a statement that would incriminate myself in wrongdoing.”

The fifth amendment affords you the right to refuse to self-incriminate. In layman’s terms, you can’t be forced to testify against yourself.

The way I interpret this, answering that question would have implicated himself (Epstein) so he did not answer it.

And if it would incriminate Epstein, well, then it stands to reason that the other party (Trump) in that question would also be incriminated by that answer.

I feel so sad.

That’s the gap between favorable and unfavorable.

Take 100 people.

60 find you favorable 40 find you unfavorable

You have a +20 favorability.

Now take 100 people

30 find you favorable 70 find you unfavorable

You have a -40 favorability.

As for the definition, “Favorable” could be just asking “would you vote for x?” Yes or No.

That part I am not 100% certain on. I am not an expert at polling.

Ok this is either comedy (if you know) or happenstance (if you don’t know)…

But David Paterson is blind.

And not like “blind allegiance to the party” but actually, legally blind.

Either way, he cannot SEE that the democrats need new blood.

They don't bother to investigate why anything exists the way it does before they start 'disrupting' it...

Chesterton’s Fence

In the matter of reforming things, as distinct from deforming them, there is one plain and simple principle; a principle which will probably be called a paradox. There exists in such a case a certain institution or law; let us say, for the sake of simplicity, a fence or gate erected across a road. The more modern type of reformer goes gaily up to it and says, "I don't see the use of this; let us clear it away." To which the more intelligent type of reformer will do well to answer: "If you don't see the use of it, I certainly won't let you clear it away. Go away and think. Then, when you can come back and tell me that you do see the use of it, I may allow you to destroy it."

Don’t change something until you understand why it is there in the first place.
