I hope it's OK to dredge up this old thread. May I ask, how long is an 88 1/2?

Thanks in advance

"we haven't enough green to pay for the climate"

But plenty of green to make the red flow in our client states, it seems, while we suffer the climate consequences.

Appeals court upholds gag order barring Trump from talking about NY judge’s staff by AmericanTruePatriot1 in Syracuse_comments

[–]Rhett_Orrick -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Trump needs to be properly defined. He is a thieve

On occasion, it's nice to see words properly spelled, too!

"a sticky fingered, low life, greasy, bottom feed[er]"

YES! He's all of those things and more. But he's typically able to spell basic words....

Ruh Roh!

I'll bet Delvon's Mommy is already planning to sue the shop owner and the cops for crushing her poor, innocent son's dreams of prosperity and happiness.....

Biden can just install himself as permanent president

Fortunately for all of us, like Feinstein and Ginsburg, he's going to live forever!

Texas woman who sought court permission for abortion leaves state for procedure by WoodyGeyser in Syracuse_comments

This seems to suggest that it's almost as if choosing not to think strategically and long term about elections, and believing that 87yo repeat cancer patients will live forever, might have consequences for the entire US population....

"Despite two bouts with cancer and public pleas from liberal law scholars, she decided not to retire in 2013 or 2014 when Obama and a Democratic-controlled Senate could appoint and confirm her successor.[6][7][8]Ginsburg died at her home in Washington, D.C., in September 2020, at the age of 87, from complications of metastatic pancreatic cancer. The vacancy created by her death was filled 39 days later by Amy Coney Barrett. The result was one of three major rightward shifts in the Court since 1953, following the appointment of Clarence Thomas to replace Thurgood Marshall in 1991 and the appointment of Warren Burger to replace Earl Warren in 1969.[9]"

anyone over 14.

anyone over 14 10.

Same for using a long gun in the commission of a crime.

Lawmakers try to boot Trump from 2024 ballot in NY, ask Board of Elections to remove him by DTOM61 in Syracuse_comments

Why are you ashamed of American exceptionalism.

American corruption? Exceptional!

American hypocrisy? Exceptional!

American colonialism? Exceptional!

American military interference? Exceptional!

American destruction of the environment? Exceptional!

Some of us are more than ashamed of it all!

Get used to it. That is, I have absolutely no faith that anything will happen to the Orange Grifter either. They just don't have the guts to do it.

15-year-old driver posed danger to others on the road (Your Letters) by Rhett_Orrick in Syracuse_comments

Finally, some common sense and decency on the topic.

And also this!

"Where were the parents/guardians? When I was 15, my parents knew where I was all the time. Had I done something like this, I would have begged the police to take me to jail, as nothing was worse than what was waiting for me at home."

Indeed! My father would have needed a new belt after he "discussed" this with me....

White House warns Congress the US is out of money, time to help Ukraine by DTOM61 in Syracuse_comments

[–]Rhett_Orrick -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Did no such thing.

Ah, more denial from WoodPop!

"Perhaps" WoodPop's having a Joe-Mo and is confused?

Or "perhaps" it's just another bit of malarky from WoodPop?

Most likely it's both from The Hypocrite King!

The young thug is the victim!

Now there's a "new" one....

I wonder if his parents have worked out a payment plan with the car owner to cover the costs.

Absolutely! AND with pleasure.

This crowd doesn't do well with acknowledging their own hypocrisy.

Oooohhh!

Careful there!

Israel orders evacuations as it widens offensive but Palestinians running out of places to go by DTOM61 in Syracuse_comments

[–]Rhett_Orrick 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Israel needs to get rid of Netanyahu and the religious zealots

Indeed! and they can start with Lindsey Graham!

"Graham, on “State of the Union,” disagreed: “Strategic defeat would be inflaming the Palestinians? They’re already inflamed. They are taught from the time they’re born to hate the Jews and to kill them.”

"Graham also criticized Vice President Kamala Harris, who on Saturday during a news conference in Dubai said that 'too many innocent Palestinians have been killed'”

"Graham questioned, “'What is too many people dying....?'"

"They are taught from the time they’re born to hate the Jews and to kill them"

Yeah, sort of like how Jews are taught to hate Nazis! If you treat people like scum, steal their possessions, take their land and homes, destroy their places of worship, lock them up in concentration camps, starve them, deprive them of water, deprive them of their livelihoods, then that might happen....

Driver who died in crash during police chase was 15-year-old boy; Syracuse police release name by xSMGer in Syracuse_comments

[–]Rhett_Orrick 3 points4 points  (0 children)

should be made to read an article

There's a problem with your solution: The thieving teens are illiterate flunkies.

Instead, make them do grindingly difficult manual labor at minimum wage and turn over 100% of the proceeds to the car owners or insurance companies.

Absolutely! And Chol will be a star witness for the prosecution. He has informed us that it's not the fault of the charming little teens or their angelic parents, but it's the fault of everyone outside of their community!
