Yes, what would a world renowned author who likely researched the Louvre for both his book and major motion picture, filmed on-location...have to offer to the news consuming public? The smug instance on dismissing Weiss at all costs is such weak sauce.

I’d take a farcical aquatic ceremony

If i were a criminal defense attorney for any mobbed up outfit, i would simply encourage principals to run for office. It's an actual get-out-of-jail-free card. Claim you are running for office, any prosecution of you is politically motivated, continue living your criminal life. Pretty wild shit.

The position American has taken on exercising a constitutionally defined mechanism to impeach and remove executives is so weird. It’s like having an electric fence, refusing to turn it on, and being surprised every dog you get runs away. We should be impeaching and removing more presidents.

I don't know that the economics of it work this way, but I'd like to see:

Lurking (read only) = Free
Not verified = $$
Verified = $

verification = legitimately verifying users, not just a tier of service.

Incent users to get verified and not operate like ghouls.
