I remember it like it was yesterday. December 12, 2002. There I sat in Principal Tibor's office. The charge? The teacher had walked into the classroom just in time to see me shoot a giant spit wad on to Jesse Connolly's desk. This was not my first time in Mr. Tibor's office that year. I fell asleep in English class twice, ripped a giant fart during home room and told Kathleen Anderson it looked like she had mosquito bites on her chest. It seemed like I was always being picked on. Every few weeks my parents were marching into the school and giving me the dagger eyes. If looks could kill...

At any rate, Mr. Tibor comes in and says, "Now, the whole class and Mr. Barnes saw you shooting spit wads on to Jesse's desk. I will be calling your parents and suspending you for three days".

I immediately jumped up and said, "Mr. Tibor, great principal, tremendous principal, I could be a great principal also, but, we're not there yet. Mr. Tibor, this is beyond even a reasonable assault. Let's not act like other kids haven't done the same or worse. Jeff Freshney wrote and performed a whole rap song about how Kevin Michaels is overweight. Tremendous song. Great song. It's a shame he doesn't have a record deal. And Tim Wright, he erased Miss Vetraino's math lesson right off the blackboard. This is totally unfair. Why am I being punished when other kids are doing things, too?"

Mr. Tibor sat in stunned silence. For a second I thought he'd had a stroke. Then he looked up at the ceiling and said "You know, I'd never thought about that. It's everyone ELSE that is the problem, not you. You ARE being picked on. Never mind the suspension, you got me. What someone else may or may not have done or had been caught doing factors in to what you were caught doing. You can head back to class."

And then, two months later, I was voted class president. That is, until, Aimless Amy Barton stole the election from me by letting other people vote and counting the votes. Miss Dunham counted the votes but I think she just had it out for me.
In that election, bmw sent a write in for Trump, just as a protest though.


Voting for Trump is dumber than playing Russian Roulette with fully loaded chambers.

In 2002 I had two kids under 3 and was traveling 30+ weeks a year.

BMW has finally got his copy of "The Art of the Deal" signed.

See now both of those comments are just insulting to me. If you think that my comments here are a direct result of me being "manipulated by talking points" then there's really no point in me commenting further.

Whether Trump has created his own self-inflicted wounds is a red herring. You can argue until you're blue in the face that Trump's transgressions are far worse than those of the Clinton family, but a hundred million or more Republicans will disagree with you on that point, and those people believe that prosecutorial decisions regarding high-ranking government officials are based largely on whether you have an (R) or a (D) next to your name. Don't bother debating me on whether that is in fact true or not. What I'm telling you as a factual matter is that this is the perception among many.
It’s not a red herring… it neuters your entire argument that it’s a persecution.

You said yourself you “looked at lots of sources”… so unsurprisingly you just so happened to have come up with verbatim lazy explanations for things about the system being rigged or something when plenty of Democrats get popped too. They may believe it but it’s not true and that matters. You can have opinions but you do not get your own facts.
Is John Durham a political hack in your opinion?

There are reasons for that opinion that involve his previous body of work and direct involvement with Barr and Trump. Jack Smith does not have the same sort of exposure.

My point was, someone who is not a political hack did find that there were people in the FBI who had, I forget his exact words, but I think it was along the lines of "a predisposition" towards going after Trump.
