"You didn't answer the question I asked" works wonders. Follow up with pointing out they are lying and-if disparaging someone with a lie-bearing false witness.

STEPHANOPOULOS: I didn't insinuate anything. I asked you whether Tom Homan accepted $50k as was heard on an audio tape recorded by the FBI in September 2024. You did not answer the question. Thank you for your time.

VANCE: No, George, I sai--

STEPHANOPOULOS: We'll be right back

In 2004, Parisian police were conducting a training exercise in the french catacombs and found, after moving past a desk and a tape playing audio of snarling dogs, a fully functional movie theater and bar. When they returned 3 days later, the equipment was gone, with a note: “Do not try to find us.”

Members of the force's sports squad, responsible
- among other tasks - for policing the 170 miles of tunnels, caves, galleries and catacombs that underlie large parts of Paris, stumbled on the complex while on a training exercise beneath the Palais de Chaillot, across the Seine from the Eiffel Tower.
After entering the network through a drain next to the Trocadero, the officers came across a tarpaulin marked: Building site, No access.
Behind that, a tunnel held a desk and a closed-circuit TV camera set to automatically record images of anyone passing. The mechanism also triggered a tape of dogs barking, "clearly designed to frighten people off," the spokesman said.
Further along, the tunnel opened into a vast 400 sq metre cave some 18m underground, "like an underground amphitheatre, with terraces cut into the rock and chairs".

There the police found a full-sized cinema screen, projection equipment, and tapes of a wide variety of films, including 1950s film noir classics and more recent thrillers. None of the films were banned or even offensive, the spokesman said.
A smaller cave next door had been turned into an informal restaurant and bar. "There were bottles of whisky and other spirits behind a bar, tables and chairs, a pressure-cooker for making couscous," the spokesman said.
"The whole thing ran off a professionally installed electricity system and there were at least three phone lines down there."
Three days later, when the police returned accompanied by experts from the French electricity board to see where the power was coming from, the phone and electricity lines had been cut and a note was lying in the middle of the floor: "Do not," it said, "try to find us."

There may be others who were confused so best to get it clarified.

Jake is the one who donates to charity and supports liberal causes, Jared is the one who engages in workplace harassment and has sexual misconduct allegations piling up.

The only time I engage reviewers is if they end up being materially incorrect in something ("there was no index" when there is an index)

I had one of those, and I corrected it, and the reviewer still didn't want to change their rating of the game despite being incorrect in everything they said.

All I know is it blew the Transylvania Twist out of the water.

Pope Leo has a terminal degree in said laws, I'm sure he could figure out a reason to speak Ex Cathedra and remind Vance that he's not a very good Catholic, frex.

Hitting the Pope, expressly (I checked). Not sure about other clergy.

I wish people would call the Pope by his chosen name. He's not "Pope Bob," he is Pope Leo.

You don't have to like the church, but at least respect people's identities and what they choose to call themselves...

Pope Leo needs to scour the Canon for reasons to start excommunicating...
