The primary goal of this site is to provide mature, meaningful discussion about the Vancouver Canucks. However, we all need a break some time so this forum is basically for anything off-topic, off the wall, or to just get something off your chest! This forum is named after poster Creeper, who passed away in July of 2011 and was a long time member of the Canucks message board community.

Work on your reading skills.
Bro...
Get the blocker out, Donny.
You snivel, moan and grasp for attention like a shunned little Greta whilst blocked but now you actually want to be blocked?
That about sum it up?
The question I have Dude is was the wool pulled over our eyes in the past when you appeared to be a decent contributer to the site with a good sense of humor or have you actually always been the donkey you portray yourself as currently?
Trump conviction will kick off 'war of weaponization' of US justice system, warns Alan Dershowitz
Dershowitz labeled the decision the "beginning of a war of weaponization of the criminal justice system." He also heavily scrutinized the 12-person jury, noting many were likely non-Trump voters.
"They were hand-picked by the judge and by the prosecutor to be anti-Trump. These were ‘get Trump’ jurors," he explained.
"These were jurors who voted between 85% and 90% not to allow Trump to be president, and they will do anything to prevent him from being president. And so their vote was the second vote on November against him being president. It wasn't a vote on the facts of the law of the case."
Dershowitz joined a host of other legal scholars in criticizing the evidence brought forth against Trump and the law pertaining to the charges.
"The facts of the law of the case here are an absolute joke," he reasoned. "This was essentially a directed verdict of guilt by the judge, by giving them the multiple-choice defense."
"As soon as Bragg indicted, we knew there was going to be a conviction. It was a foregone conclusion. So yesterday's result is not news. It was just the end result of a completely predictable injustice that was engineered from the very beginning by a politician who had campaigned on the promise to get Trump."
"This is so dangerous to all Americans. Today it's get Trump. Tomorrow, it's get you. Tomorrow, it's get me. Tomorrow, it's get your loved one," he said.
"The American system has been weaponized against political enemies, and that is a great loss for all Americans."
YeeeeeeeUP, yup, yup, yup, yup, yup...
One step closer to civil war, get out while you can Corn!
Dershowitz is a member of the Democratic Party. In 2016, he said that if Keith Ellison were appointed party chair, he would leave the party;[53] Tom Perez was appointed instead. Dershowitz endorsed Hillary Clinton in the 2008 presidential election, and later endorsed the nominee, Barack Obama.[54] He opposed the impeachment of Bill Clinton and said that he voted for Hillary Clinton in the 2016 presidential election.[55] Dershowitz campaigned against Trump during the 2016 election and has been critical of many of his actions, including his travel ban, his rescission of protections for "Dreamers", and his failure to single out white nationalists for their provocations during protests in Charlottesville.[56][57] Comparing Trump unfavorably to Hillary Clinton in October 2016, Dershowitz said, "I think there's no comparison between who has engaged in more corruption and who is more likely to continue that if elected President of the United States."
Yeah, Trump, Biden I dont really give a fuck about the he said she said bullshit involved in that debate comparable but what I really don't get is that folks think things are groovy baby and it'll all be okay.
Seems a right fine mess to me.
As I've said before....America seems to be in a state of blind, gluttonous self destruction.
The collapse of the empire (as I've intimated previously).

If Newsom gets in, that will be some scary shit.
That is one frightening motherfucker.
Seems that a people who have learned from history might have a chance at avoiding such a fate.
Somewhere in NW BC trying (yet again) to trade a(nother) Swede…..

DBCowboy:
... book-keeping is enough to jail a presidential candidate.
Bookkeeping is not enough. It was bookkeeping intended to conceal a crime, which makes it a felony. Why do you feel the need to quote obvious falsehoods Doc?

Just remember that what goes around comes around... karma... you reap what you sow... and all that.
It's a real thing, it's built into the system, so laugh while you can and then bow your head and wait for the ricochet.
I hope it comes around and we see more prosecutions. Let's keep draining the swamp, Republicans and Democrats alike.
