I might make an exception for Carter, though his unwillingness to be a bastard was problematic in its own way.

I give it at least 50/50 odds we could have video of donald trump murdering a baby through sodomy and it wouldn’t be “damning evidence”.

“That did not sway the Norwegian Nobel Committee, which on Friday said the recognition was going to Venezuelan opposition leader María Corina Machado “for her tireless work promoting democratic rights for the people of Venezuela and for her struggle to achieve a just and peaceful transition from dictatorship to democracy.””, for those too lazy to click but curious who did win

The cleric brings up a fun “exploit”. You cast speak with dead on the murdered yourself so you have a 10 day grace period - even better if you threaten their family if they do snitch.

I’m not saying I’d support a nuclear sherman’s march, but it would be one of the less totally awful possibilities.

It’s still generally good to back up claims with data rather than your gut. That’s what’s supposed to differentiate you and I from the Magats.
