As I have said over and over, the horrible bias and despicable conduct that Adegbile displayed was in accepting rather than calling out the rabble-rousers who tried and apparently succeeded in getting a proper judgement overturned with their extra-legal activities. And virtually every article written about him supports that. Do you have one that describes him calling them out? No, of course not, because he didn't. His error is one of omission, not commission. So any article that discusses that period of time but does not describe his calling them out supports the claim. As an attorney, his conduct violated the code of ethics. And obviously enough senators--including some democrats--agreed with that assessment.

The difference between us is not that I haven't produced evidence, but that you don't consider that conduct worthy of contempt. Very simple, do you admit or deny that he failed to call out the rabble-rousers?

Quote:No, that review does not pan the movie for not making it more clear as you intimated. He says that the film does not fit the controversy. Which is EXACTLY what you've been trying...and continually failing...to do.

I probably chose my words poorly. My intent was to say that the criticism was that they didn't bash Bush sufficiently to suit many critics. If I said it inartfully, or you misinterpreted my comments, I apologize. What I wrote first was from memory, then looking back over a few quotes clarified my recollection.

Quote:And of course they would show Bush because the movie is a 2006 faux documentary of how an assassination would effect a post 9/11 world!

The movie could have been made with footage of an actor playing a generic president if that had been their intent. It wasn't, because obviously that wasn't their intent.

Is Snoop Dogg really the example you want to use? There is no way that is a threat against the president. No reasonable judge or jury would perceive that as an intention to do the president harm or to incite others to do so. It's incredibly disappointing to me that this is the level of respect given the office, but I think at least a little of what's going on there is how Trump is behaving while occupying it.

That's still an excuse. There should be no threats against the life of any POTUS ever. Doesn't matter which side.

But that's not what I'm talking about. If there are REAL threats, they should be investigated and, if warranted, prosecuted. I'm unaware of any credible threats that have gone unanswered. But Snoop, for example, is not REMOTELY a credible threat. And my point, which you highlighted, is that disrespectful, albeit LEGAL behavior, is probably a little bit the result of the way the president is conducting himself in office.
