When am I ever going to need to know how to fight a pudding monster?

Do you know how many poll requests are in my spam folder? Only old people get polls.

Did they twist their mustaches at the same time?

Fair enough.

I thought they were crazy for coal.

I was being a butthole and suggesting capitalism isn’t the Boogeyman we’ve all been searching for all along. I like Finland.

Agreed.

Which?

Ok, I’m with you.

Are there any communists countries handling their demand for energy vs environmental concerns better than the capitalistic ones?

I fully admit that I’m no expert here, I’ll have to look into it more. Thanks for the civil discussion.

… were you going to add any information to the conversation or are you being ironic?

Great, why’d it take so long?

I’m not expecting them to do all 400 that way, just the ones I keep being told are critical.

Not that Tuberville isn’t a POS but if it’s critical to get these folks confirmed and you have a way to do it, get to fucking work. I’m tired of hearing that their hands are tied when they just need to roll up their sleeves.

I’m not really arguing about what needs to or should be done, I tend to agree with you.

However, my understanding is that sting operations start with a suspect already under investigation. They don’t start with the sting. It’s a pretty important distinction because otherwise you get into entrapment territory. We’re interested in obtaining and and maintaining appeal proof convictions against wealthy and well defended people here.

If you want more direct scrutiny over congress critters, you need stronger ethics and disclosure laws to be passed with real teeth.

The idea is that we don’t just investigate as fishing expeditions. Abscam wasn’t created to go after political figures.

He’s losing. He’s not talking to the court, he’s talking to the “stand back and stand by” crowd.

Heart shaped tator was lit.

You can’t fake Andre the giant. It comes from the heart.
