But the Judge can point out to the Jury that they can draw adverse conclusions from the lack of answers.

And, it should be pointed out, when someone 'pleads the 5th' in a U.S. court the judge can and should instruct the jury that the exact opposite is the case, that they are not to construe such a plea as any sort of admission of guilt.

That spokeslady of his on CNN this morning was grueling and painful to listen to. By the way, she sure said "By the way..." a lot.

I think that's a common political thing these days. I first noticed it during the Obama-Romney debates, where they used it in every other sentence to include some off-topic talking point.
 
I can just taste his pain. There were people who couldn't vote for the Democrat but couldn't bring themselves to vote for Moore. This has to be such psychological agony for him. Delicious.
 
Completely but anxiously OT

As I tell my increasingly fascist nephew, the US IS a socialist country, and he would not like the alternative.

How old is your nephew? 15? 16? I ask becuse fascism is the politics of adolesence. He can grow out of it.
 
Gawd these people really are sickening. Lenny Bruce, Mort Sahl, Dick Gregory... they all had comedy routines parodying this sort of backwards hick. That was more than five decades ago, fer crissake. What other topical jokes from the 60s could you make today that would make sense. "Hey, those Beatles! What's with the hair? They look like the Lennon Sisters! (tish boom)"

But bigoted small town redneck jokes? They're as fresh as they were fifty years ago because the people haven't changed a lick. Oh, sure, they've learned not to say the N-word in mixed company, but get 'em behind closed doors or in a group of their peers and it's still as common as it ever was.

How are social conservatives cheered by something like this? It depresses the crap out of me. Sure, the strip malls have replaced the old main street emporiums but even having not been back there since that era, I'd probably recognize the conversations at the Tuscaloosa McDonald's because it's the exact same as the conversations at the old Mamma's Chicken 'n Biscuits from my childhood.

I was buttonholed on a bus in September 2016 by a guy who clearly wanted to strike up a conversation with me about how great it is to be white. The opening line was about the yachts we saw out the window. "When trump wins, we'll all have one of those, you'll see." He was complaining about 'you know, them (armwave)' meaning nonwhite people, basically most people in Vancouver.

"Those darkies smoke that stuff in public. In public" - I deduced he meant black people smoke mj in public in Vancouver. Well, yeah, that's probably true. So do white people. Everybody does, it's perfectly legal. Meanwhile, I pointed out this guy was sucking on a bottle of gin in a paper bag on a public bus, which was 100% criminal. He waved his hands, "Trump will fix all that. He'll send 'em all back and we can do what we want, say what we want."

It brought the reality of it all home to me: socially, we have a long way to go, these people are out there, breeding quiverfulls, speaking cautiously for now, but waiting for their moment.

Dude was straight from Central Casting, and even today I wonder if it wasn't some sort of street performance art by a bored 75 year old actor between roles.

Which Vancouver? I'm pretty sure smoking pot in public is not legal in Washington, and how the heck was Trump going to fix Canada?

Vancouver Canada, and this guy's vision seemed to be that Canada would do whatever Trump ordered because there are white people up here to protect, and Trump is just that brilliant.

It's a messianistic view of Trump that seems to have energized white supremacists globally.
 
This keeps getting worse.

Roy Moore accuser Tina Johnson lost her home Tuesday in a fire that is now under investigation by the Etowah County Arson Task Force.

Tina Johnson, who first came to public notice for accusing Senate candidate Roy Moore of grabbing her in his office in the early 1990s, said her home on Lake Mary Louise Road in Gadsden caught fire Tuesday morning.

After neighbors and some utility workers called 911 shortly after 8 a.m. Tuesday, the Lookout Mountain Fire Department responded to the scene. By the time the flames were extinguished, Johnson and her family had lost everything they owned.
