Are we still buying the locker room talk defense? At least 20 women who have accused over a period of 4 decades. He admits to what several of them described, on tape/video, for a national tv show. BUT it was just locker room talk! I remember in high school/college, sitting around in a locker room bragging about essentially the manual rape of women! Didn’t all you guys?? Again, you guys seem to want to talk about these issues by starting these threads. Personally I will just let each predator (and certainly most if not all of those named) answer for his transgressions if and when they get charged. If not, then one day when they stand before the ultimate judge/jury. But calling out some and then dismissing one, at least put a jacket over the hypocrite shirt. And I’m not going to get in anymore did Trump ever abuse women, did he not argument on here. If you truly believe that you are either in a frightening high level of denial, or more gullible than capable of having a conversation on the issue. I’m not going to defend any of the ones Smitty listed in his OP, anymore than I will defend any from a list of Pubbies I could post, including the Tweeter in Chief.

So since “rules” get set by speeches, should I pull out some of President Trump’s finer speeches (since speeches based on Pubic logic create rules and “precedents.”). I mean, if a single Senator can create a rule and precedent, I guess an actual President can create a super-rule or even a lifestyle, way of thinking, or general principle that should be applied to him, his party, and most certainly anyone who has supported him. Would that upset any of you??? Don’t answer. The answer must be on this board a thousand times

No question. In fact one instance was found to be such by the SCOTUS. The Line Item Veto act sponsored by the Pubbies and passed by Congress allowed Clinton to begin taking a red pen to legislations. SCt said that’s a no no.

Biden gave a speech Tobie, in 1992 that the Pubic Pubbies found, giggling like school girls, and used as justification to urinate, deficate, and other -ates, all over the constitution. You know, the document they “love” even though most have a better grasp of Green Eggs and Ham?

And of course, those Constitution-lovin, right winging, lockstepping Pubes used a speech, A SPEECH, by the VP almost 25 years earlier about what people should do as “precedent.” “Precedent” to completely ignore the document that they wuv so very much!!! So again, impressive display of childishness at best, utter hypocrisy at worst and haven’t a doubt in mind it was a healthy combination of both.

So the Republicans in turn “invoked the precedent” and acted like 2 year olds because “they did it first!!” Yes, yes, no flaws at all in comparing this behavior to a foundational tenet of the appellate justice system.

I love Mark Richt. He might not be the best coach in the game, but few are better human beings. Like his mentor Bobby Bowden, he is a first class individual. I like seeing good things happen to good people. I always rooted for Georgia while he was there; now I guess I have to root for the Canes :/

No doubt. Beck has to go. They’ve hated him everywhere he’s gone. Not sure why Herman thought he was the best available hire with his budget.

Or not...

No. You don’t sign a confession in a civil suit. You just pay money. The “signed confession” of which I was speaking was the now infamous Billy Bush tape. That was admittedly poorly stated.

My Christmas wish this year is that Miami beats Georgia in the NC game. I know it’s superficial but it would make me happy.

TCU’s defense is no joke. Not that our offense isn’t but they are pretty impressive. Patterson can coach some defense.

Couldn’t hurt!

A healthy OL wouldn’t hurt either.

TCU gets a play off and extra 5 yards on a Texas penalty after a bad call. We can’t get that done ever.

They are getting it rolling now. I think I’m rooting for Miami to win it all this year. Never thought I’d see the day but I do love some Mark Richt.

Yep yep

Even though it is a “story” by the way, still found it pretty funny. I’m sure no one enjoyed it more than the late, great Scalia.

My favorite Ginsburg story: [Hidden Content]

Maybe she didn’t find President Obama’s speech very captivating?

Obviously I meant Scalia. Another SCOTUS conservative who is a HOF’er in my book.

And I still believe that Central team wins it all that year if Toe Toe doesn’t get injured in the first quarter against Kimball. Ok, back on topic...

Remember them playing Central extremely tough in Katy at regionals the year the Jags went to State. They are usually really solid.

No, he snoozes in the literal sense as well. And often. And he’s not yet in his 80s. At least he’s honest. He’s on record describing his work ethic as “zero.” Again, I have no problem with a balanced court, and have great respect for many conservative justices. But Thomas is a joke.

If you consider a settlement as “validation,” then yes. Otherwise, like Bill Cosby, none have been so validated. And I doubt that the horde of women accusing him are all lying either. Although I guess the attorneys pursuing him don’t have a recorded validation. Trump has at least one pending now. I would gladly take that case on a contingency. Tough to defend those who have “signed” a confession. And Trump’s lawyers don’t have the police kept him in an examining room for 15 hours defense. I guess we’ll see if the “locker room talk” defense works as well on a jury as it does with so many of his defenders.
