My wife was the valedictorian of her class.
My GF before her was probably 10 out of 700.

I don't discriminate.

Mueller was tasked with pursuing crimes that were result of his investigation.

The Trump associates that he made deals with, he ended up rescinding because he decided they actually didn't hold up their end of the bargain -- how convenient.

It almost makes it seem like Mueller was incredibly biased in his witch hunt.

Which one of many pedophiles are you referring to specifically?

Also, and I know that this may seem like a trivial point, but Mueller is with the FBI, and the FBI investigates federal crimes. Possession of kiddie porn, or molesting children, or other such things, are generally not criminal acts under federal law, only under state law. The FBI cannot investigate / prosecute alleged violations of state law. (You know, because the constitution respected the authority of the States and limited the powers the Federal government.)

Seriously? Could have fooled me.

CITIZEN'S GUIDE TO U.S. FEDERAL LAW ON CHILD PORNOGRAPHY

Joe Perez 12-04-2019 07:31 PM

I stand corrected.

This surprises me. It's usually safe to say (without checking) that most mundane criminal offenses are not covered under federal law.

Braineack 12-04-2019 07:38 PM

mundane? I never realized you were a pervert. odd, yes, but not a pervert. Explains the affinity for the pixie haircut -- reminds you of young prepubescent children whose hair hasn't even grown out yet...

While I doubt you'll ever fully appreciate this, I braved a lot of really unpleasant stuff after typing "transgender tinkerbell" into an image search window in the hope of finding something with which I could snarkily reply to this post.

Don't ever do what I just did. Just... don't.

1. Yes, it's terrible. My mother is a paralegal for the US Districts Attorney's Office, well she was she retired about a month ago. She worked in the child porn unit for a few years and said it was absolutely devastating.
2. Refer to the B/I/U text, are you intimating that possession of child pornography is a mundane offense?

Recently passed Federal law on cruelty to animals. Yes, Federal over-reach knows no bounds

As compared to espionage, arms smuggling, the international drug trade, human trafficking, collusion with foreign nations, etc., yes, possession of child pornography is the sort of thing that usually gets prosecuted at the state level with little to no fanfare, as opposed to being televised on C-SPAN and making it into the Times and the Post.

A white leftist — claiming to speak on behalf of a Black Lives Matter chapter — stealing a microphone from a black Buttigieg supporter to lecture a black audience on presumedly black issues.

Yes I continue to be amazed at people who think that every crime needs to be a federal crime, when the federal government is really supposed to be dealing with Interstate issues and items outside of the purview of the states. It's like they don't understand anything about the practical functionality of the Constitution.

They didn't steal the mic, they repatriated it. Sharon McBride personally stole that microphone from the black native Americans who inhabited this land four hundred years before she was born, and the microphone itself barely begins to cover the reparations which she personally owes everyone who is not cisgendered and white.

Braineack 12-05-2019 11:45 AM

Yeah, but it's nice when the government can make everything illegal, then use it against you if they dislike you.

Gotcha, that's why I didn't assume and genuinely asked.

Even though I'm against the death penalty, purely from a financial standpoint, it'd be nice if people like this were taken behind the jail house, two in the back of the head and buried underneath.

Braineack 12-05-2019 02:05 PM

Once, Joe told me we need more journalists.
