Just to point it out, no triggering intended. It's "kemo sabe." Funny that, but you do you.

Glad to know there is an official spelling to a completely made up phrase. Never knew that to be a thing. The nuances that one learns around here.

Heh, looking it up it appears that our official 'made up phrases' expert has it wrong as well. Seems its 'kemosabe', and about four or five other versions.

First time I've ever been English nazied or spelling nazied on made word. Kind of interesting.

Funny that, but you do you.

You apply the same logic as Owl did, all things being equal, the state has no case whatsoever. And therein lies the problem for the libs.
They just have no case. It’s a complete witch hunt. As usual.

Yeah, just scream 'witch hunt' over and over and over again. About par for the course. I mean, who the **** cares about the actual facts. Sounds fun.

The boosting it to a felony is fairly problematic. But Ive said that before. As though it really matters to the 'trump is a total victim of everything' crowd.

Go back to your Trump man superhero comic books, alleged weight man.

And this is why any credibility you had, has slipped away.

You’re SO biased against Trump , logic and reason are gone because it doesn’t support your Trump-hating agenda.

When you examine the totality of the situation, the left has no real case. They just want to GET HIM.

And in the end, they damage themselves for the world to see.

Sometimes you have to get off the train and evaluate the situation, in total, and be honest with yourself.

You’ve proven you’re incapable of that. And that’s sad.
Hate Trump all you want but at least be fair about it. Again, you’re just incapable of that.

RE: Trump says he will be arrested on Tuesday
For the curious, here is a debate of the origin of the word "kemosabe." According to the New York Public Library, it is a word in both Navajo and Apache. Other sources say it could be derived from an Algonquin language, Spanish or Middle Eastern.

But none of the definitions match with Tonto's version, which means "trusted scout."

It is just too damned easy with you. Yes, there are variations, including mine, but assuredly not yours.

Now, please spend 40-plus lines of bloviating dialogue explaining the nuance of new-age modern spelling error philosophy, with those making them have a higher moral and educational foundation to teach such matters to the serfs under you on this board.

Did you bother to read the letter, the facts, the comments?

Or my specific comment previously that (paraphrase) 'raising this to a felony is a real stretch'? Done that more than once, to be honest. Funny thing -- I said that in very same post you went unhingeo to above. Brilliant!!! Absolutely brilliant!!!

Sorry, that *bombshell* of a letter isnt so bombshell when you read it fairly carefully, and know the background facts. Sorry that has you so fundamentally unhinged.

Good grief. When you remove all your generalized 'you are so unfair' stuff above, not many words left. Brilliant.... (I guess).

Here's one for you -- read the letter. Read the facts. read the history. Then come back and tell us how unfair I am, and specifically how I am so absolutely unfair. Sound like a plan? Im all ears at this point. Look forward to your comments instead of a generalized rant.

Maybe even read my comments that come down on *your* side. Lolz. Double lolz. Krist on a fing cracker....

The Lone Ranger shot Tonto 'cause, it seems
He found out what kemosabe means.

Im not the expert in spelling of made up words there, pardner. You pointedly and excitedly made that clear -- lolz.

Quote: Then follow with a few closing comments taking passive shots at me for simply trying to help you appear more intelligent and reasoned than the other posters on here.

Yep the current trends on whatever is being used for kemosabe is quite the ticket to that. Thanks my friend. Next time I use that I will be forever filled with gratitude to you for your Mother Theresa level of care on that word or phrase.

Quote:are you by chance a middle-aged white suburban woman

Nope.

Quote:driving a Suburu

Nope.

Quote: with a "Coexist" sticker on the bumper.

Nope.

Are you a downstate Virginny 30 year old (i.e. looks 60), have a set of teeth, and drive a four colored with bondo plastered truck, with a 'Possum in the pantry --- em em good' sticker on the bumper? Asking for a friend, of course.

Quote: Asking for my friends Shere Khan and Blue Dragon.

Quite the cast you put forth. BD sometimes has some good points on political science and political thought when he can get past his 'the world is grinding him down specifically' growl --- and he can get along like an ornery douche when he makes one of his wild assed guesses on one's background. He did that once with me, about as far off as your wild-assed guess above.

Shere -- what can one say.... I mean when you subtract the words that Beavis regularly says in that cartoon from Tigger's ravings, there aint much left over to digest. I guess he has fun in that sense.

Be good to them both for me.

It was on Saturday morning reruns when I was kid in the 60's. Just a little past it being truly 'on air'.

That show was immediately followed back to back by 'The Rifleman'. Quite the Saturday fare in the house.

RE: Trump says he will be arrested on Tuesday
My point to you, tanq, is that your distain for Trump robs you of the ability to be objective. And that detracts from any point you make, even if your point had/has merit.

Much like Owl’s reply to your question earlier in the thread, when you review the history, dating back to 2016, it’s difficult to support the effort the left is placing on the latest Trump quest.

Even non-brainwashed democrats say the same thing, albeit in a very quiet manner.

While people like me didn’t like Clinton, he was still a good President. We can admit that, in fairness. He also had a hand in making some of us wealthy in a way we didn’t view as possible.
Trump was a good President, better than good actually. And he helped make some of us even more wealthy. Even the less fortunate saw an uptick in everything monetary and that’s great.

But a faction of the population have an agenda and allow that agenda to harpoon their ability to be objective.

Yes I dislike Trump.

What precisely is incorrect about my statements, due to that dislike?

Not any generalized comment like that 'wow you dont like Trump.' What specifically have I said that is unfair, untrue, or deceptive.

Im all ears.

My profession, I *have* to be objective. I *have* to get over a distaste of a client -- I *have* to provide the *best*, most candid assessment I can.

And, honestly, I do a pretty good job of that.

Quote:Much like Owl’s reply to your question earlier in the thread, when you review the history, dating back to 2016, it’s difficult to support the effort the left is placing on the latest Trump quest.

Do you realize I just dumped on the NY issue, in that getting a felony is going to be a real hard road to hoe?

If I am so die hard non-objective, wouldnt you find that a tad odd?

And, I can point you to another discussion with #s earlier today, in the Rice forum, where we discussed the earlier issues. Many of those earlier issues I cam down squarely on 'wow, they have a hard on for Trump.' Try the Rice board and look at my comments there.

So please dont tell me how I blind myself one way or the other. I actually have a record there -- look at it.

In order, Trump faced an unfair and unwarranted attack via the Steele dossier and through the Mueller investigation.

The first impeachment of him was based on very thin grounds -- it should have never been launched.

Im *on record* as supporting him and his position on those. Seriously.

When it comes to 1/6, I am harsh on Trump. His actions leading to 1/6 were disgusting. I cannot believe that someone so thoroughly tried to bork the process of certification, even without the issue of the riot.

I am a very harsh critic of how he handled himself during the Capitol riot. Bummer. I call those as I see them.

As for MAL, I dont see the giant conspiracy that many here see. I do see a guy who lied to the Archives, lied under oath to the DOJ about having stuff, and ultimately threw the middle finger enough times he got his ass searched and the items he shouldnt have had seized.

In the NY Cohen case, I think at worst this should be a misdemeanor.

I dont know enough about Georgia, or the other aspects of the Special Prosecutor's case to have an opinion. But I am *not* going to kneejerk and yell he is guilty, nor not guilty as many do here for those issues.

Quote:While people like me didn’t like Clinton, he was still a good President. We can admit that, in fairness. He also had a hand in making some of us wealthy in a way we didn’t view as possible.

I freely admit that Trump did many things I supported. Criminy, I even voted for the guy in '20.

I cant stand how he has, at least to me, taken a giant **** on the electoral process in the events leading to 1/6. He, being Trump, simply flipped the finger at the process that was going to render a result he didnt like. And no, I cannot condone doing that. At all.

Quote:Trump was a good President, better than good actually. And he helped make some of us even more wealthy. Even the less fortunate saw an uptick in everything monetary and that’s great.

I would agree partially. On the whole there were many things I liked and supported. I have said this many times. That doesnt blind me to what I consider to be some very serious shortcomings.

Quote:But a faction of the population have an agenda and allow that agenda to harpoon their ability to be objective.

What about my positions above are 'an agenda' and render my ability to be objective to nothing?

Look I respect your opinion. I cannot rip a genuinely held opinion. Even when it differs from mine. In short, your view on the good that Trump did is positive. It tends potentially to you overlooking some serious stuff.

My view is that there is a deal of good that Trump did in office. Again, I voted for him in '20, when I did not do so in '16.

My view is also, during the run up to 1/6, he absolutely attempted to subvert the process. He may have genuinely believed that he did not lose -- but, even then -- he seriously tried to mess with those rules and processes that have done us fairly well for the last 240+ years. Solely for his benefit, imo.

In my book that is inexcusable. That does not 'flow over' into a 'anything to get Trump mode' as some seem to think that I hold. Again, as an example, the issue currently in New York should be no more than a misdemeanor. Does that sound like an unobjective Get Trump No Matter What position?

Thank you for the calm and considered language and tone in your post. Hopefully this reciprocates that.

I remember when TLR debuted on TV. I actually remember listening to the radio show before that. The TV show was my favorite as a kid. I also enjoyed Gunsmoke, The Rifleman, The Cisco Kid, Have Gun Will Travel, etc.

But if you didn't know that kemosabe meant "trusted scout," at least in TV scripts, well, I can't help you. 03-lmfao

Oh, and in the beginning, TLR ran a new episode every week, 52 weeks a year.

I was making a sarcastic reference to the Lyle Lovett song AAA, to be clear.

All I remember is Tonto always saying that to the Masked Man.

Yes I dislike Trump.

What precisely is incorrect about my statements, due to that dislike?

Not any generalized comment like that 'wow you dont like Trump.' What specifically have I said that is unfair, untrue, or deceptive.

Im all ears.

My profession, I *have* to be objective. I *have* to get over a distaste of a client -- I *have* to provide the *best*, most candid assessment I can.

And, honestly, I do a pretty good job of that.

Quote:Much like Owl’s reply to your question earlier in the thread, when you review the history, dating back to 2016, it’s difficult to support the effort the left is placing on the latest Trump quest.

Do you realize I just dumped on the NY issue, in that getting a felony is going to be a real hard road to hoe?

If I am so die hard non-objective, wouldnt you find that a tad odd?

And, I can point you to another discussion with #s earlier today, in the Rice forum, where we discussed the earlier issues. Many of those earlier issues I cam down squarely on 'wow, they have a hard on for Trump.' Try the Rice board and look at my comments there.

So please dont tell me how I blind myself one way or the other. I actually have a record there -- look at it.

In order, Trump faced an unfair and unwarranted attack via the Steele dossier and through the Mueller investigation.

The first impeachment of him was based on very thin grounds -- it should have never been launched.

Im *on record* as supporting him and his position on those. Seriously.

When it comes to 1/6, I am harsh on Trump. His actions leading to 1/6 were disgusting. I cannot believe that someone so thoroughly tried to bork the process of certification, even without the issue of the riot.

I am a very harsh critic of how he handled himself during the Capitol riot. Bummer. I call those as I see them.

As for MAL, I dont see the giant conspiracy that many here see. I do see a guy who lied to the Archives, lied under oath to the DOJ about having stuff, and ultimately threw the middle finger enough times he got his ass searched and the items he shouldnt have had seized.

In the NY Cohen case, I think at worst this should be a misdemeanor.

I dont know enough about Georgia, or the other aspects of the Special Prosecutor's case to have an opinion. But I am *not* going to kneejerk and yell he is guilty, nor not guilty as many do here for those issues.

Quote:While people like me didn’t like Clinton, he was still a good President. We can admit that, in fairness. He also had a hand in making some of us wealthy in a way we didn’t view as possible.

I freely admit that Trump did many things I supported. Criminy, I even voted for the guy in '20.

I cant stand how he has, at least to me, taken a giant **** on the electoral process in the events leading to 1/6. He, being Trump, simply flipped the finger at the process that was going to render a result he didnt like. And no, I cannot condone doing that. At all.

Quote:Trump was a good President, better than good actually. And he helped make some of us even more wealthy. Even the less fortunate saw an uptick in everything monetary and that’s great.

I would agree partially. On the whole there were many things I liked and supported. I have said this many times. That doesnt blind me to what I consider to be some very serious shortcomings.

Quote:But a faction of the population have an agenda and allow that agenda to harpoon their ability to be objective.

What about my positions above are 'an agenda' and render my ability to be objective to nothing?

Look I respect your opinion. I cannot rip a genuinely held opinion. Even when it differs from mine. In short, your view on the good that Trump did is positive. It tends potentially to you overlooking some serious stuff.

My view is that there is a deal of good that Trump did in office. Again, I voted for him in '20, when I did not do so in '16.

My view is also, during the run up to 1/6, he absolutely attempted to subvert the process. He may have genuinely believed that he did not lose -- but, even then -- he seriously tried to mess with those rules and processes that have done us fairly well for the last 240+ years. Solely for his benefit, imo.

In my book that is inexcusable. That does not 'flow over' into a 'anything to get Trump mode' as some seem to think that I hold. Again, as an example, the issue currently in New York should be no more than a misdemeanor. Does that sound like an unobjective Get Trump No Matter What position?

Thank you for the calm and considered language and tone in your post. Hopefully this reciprocates that.
I might have missed it, but can you point to the post where you show your disdain for the absolute criminal in office at the moment.

I just see the broken record on Trump.
