    I hope you don't consider me to be one who is attacking you, Cup. That's never been my intent. Honestly, you're one of my favorite posters on this forum. More so from the Blazers side of things than politics, I must admit. I do give you points for unrelentingly sticking to your Blue beliefs.

    He is alive and will be ok. Two pieces of a lower vertebrae snapped off. He is in good humor about it. He told me he feels like he got his ass beat by the Hulk.

    I guess it is more him and Yank, but the last three or four flame wars that have occurred and been reported it seems your three names come up as well as a few others. Just asking everyone to chill.

    Sorry about your dog. I hope he is ok.

    Nope, never entered my mind. By the way, i've mentioned this before. But I'm not a democrat, i i'm just anti trump. I will say however, the republican party is circling around the drain with trump as there are very few things i agree with on that side anymore and hope it starts changing after this next election.

    It's so important that young women are coached to not be afraid file a complaint or charges if they are abused. I realize there are very legit reason's why many wont and don't but there needs to be solid evidence and a legal approach to go after scum bags. I picked up that she has no legal representation, I wonder why?

    Money, I’d guess. She did get an attorney since then. The guy who represented Blakey-Ford and some other sexual abuse victims. He’s also a Trump supporter, which has been played up by the Dems.

    If you're referring To Reade, yes, she does have an attorney...who just so happens to be a Trump supporter...Gave trump $55K in 2016, which is ignored by the Reps.

    "He has also given tens of thousands of dollars to state and local Democratic politicians in New York, including New York Rep. Hakeem Jeffries and New York Attorney General Letitia James. He has not donated to either Trump’s or Biden’s 2020 campaign."

    Jeffries is actually the politician he donated to most recently. Jeffries is the Chair of the House Democratic Caucus.

    But Dems like to ignore that.

    Great minds, different conclusions. The guy gave money to Trump’s campaign, but it’s pretty common for law firms to play both sides of the field with political donations. No idea if he gave some to Hillary as well. The fact that he represented Blasey-Ford in the Kavanaugh hearings would seem to indicate he’s not just a Trumpster.

    He did not. He's a conservative Republican.

    And lawyers don't care about their clients' political affiliation...the money is all the same color.
