    This is the kind of fantasy that can only be either the result of heavy drugs or mental illness. Manafort is going down.

    I would say a lot of people with common sense, I don't know of anyone that claims to be a psychic in the thread.

    Don't need to be a psychic to know what's going to happen to Manafort.

    Of course, we all thought we knew what was going to happen to OJ.

    Yes, once again, I wasn't speaking literally. I'm sorry you have a difficult time with sarcasm. I can quite easily look through the couple pages of the thread to see that nobody actually, literally claimed to be psychic. I am aware of this. It doesn't make you appear smarter to point out such obvious things (nor does correcting minor grammatical errors), it just makes it appear as though you don't fully understand the things people post on here.

    Are you having difficulty with sarcasm thrown back at you?

    This trial will be quickly decided but he faces another trial in 5 weeks with a new jury for peddling influence with foreign politicians ..it'll be a less cut and dried conviction than his tax evasion and money laundering banking fraud that this trial addressed...next one will have some teeth in the Mueller investigations.

    No, why? He wasn't being sarcastic in his comment, unless you consider blatant grammar corrections part of the fine art.

    Good looking one liner, though. It just wasn't relevant this time.

    I don't know whether this is true or not, but it's pretty damn funny:

    ...It was very obvious that he recognized the "sarcasm" for what it was...and responded accordingly.

    I presume your last two lines had nothing to do with me and so I want to be clear that I did not intend my remark as any kind of sarcasm.

    I'm going to take this opportunity to remind you that I care about everyone, which includes you, because I believe in the human soul and I believe in cherishing each and every human soul.

    I'll also remind you that I'm imperfect yet striving to improve. I've got a long way to go.

    Sorry about going so far off track but every once in a while I feel the need to confess and redouble my efforts to treat my fellow man better. It feels cleansing.

    I have given Cup and Marzy a 1 day ban from posting in THIS thread.

    They are free to post anywhere else on the site.

    This is all your posts. Rarely any substance, just smug insults and emojis.
