I watched the end of that game - and that was one of the worst meltdowns I've seen in a long time. The number of opportunities the Raiders had to win was incredible, and they blew every single opportunity.

I almost felt like I was watching a Lions game.

Thanks for the clarification. So now my question would be why did the plane stop in Florida, and who paid for the leg of the flight from Texas to Florida? My best guess would be that the leg of the flight from FL to MA would be covered under the appropriations language, but certainly not from TX to ...

RT - you're going to need to provide me with a link as I can locate no Florida State law 117-2. I can find Federal public law 117-2 (which is the American Rescue Plan Act of 2021) but no equivalent Florida State law, let alone with the language you have quoted. Not saying it doesn't exist in Florida...

You want an example of a leftist mob? Let's start with the group of people who "protested" in front of the homes of multiple conservative Justices after the Roe v. Wade leak, with the intention as stated by Nancy Pelosi of getting them to change their ruling and egged on by people like Mayor Lori Li...

RT - you defended FakeAndyStuart's "human trafficking" accusation multiple times. You also defended Hanson's "federal kidnapping" accusation multiple times. I simply responded, demonstrating that his actions quite clearly don't meet every necessary element of either charge. Like I said, I'm trying t...

You would both make terrible lawyers. You're still overlooking the AND. Even if you prove that inveigles applies here, that's still only one of the two elements. The other is holding. You have to prove that they were held for ransom, reward, or something similar. They weren't held. They were immedia...

I don't use my card for much (I prefer cash when possible), but even I have to admit that using a card to buy gas is far more convenient than using cash.

Read my post. I'm referring to federal law. One does not have to use physical force to kidnap someone. I'll arrange a reading tutor for you if you want one. I did read your post. And the law. Carefully. And it looks like you are the one in need of a reading tutor. Let me break it down for you: Whoe...

Words matter. The specific accusation raised was "human trafficking." But since we're playing "let's throw everything at the wall and see what sticks," I'll bite on kidnapping. Just like with trafficking, you're missing an important element - that of holding captive for reward or ransom. Even in the...

Matt - I think I have the answer to the question in the first sentence of your response above: Conservatives who don't buy into the election being stolen or think Trump is a necessarily of high moral character (they're a sizable minority of the Republican party) are sticking with Trump for 2 reasons...

Advancing DeSantis's political ambitions is the service they are unwittingly performing. Nice try, but nope. A person has to be coerced into performing some type of labor for it to be human trafficking. I am unable to access to the Oxford OED (as you need a login), but here are definitions I am fin...

This is human trafficking - almost the exact definition of it. Oh, really? And what exactly IS the definition of "human trafficking"? Please define it and provide a source. Human trafficking - noun - from the Oxford Dictionary oed.com the unlawful act of transporting or coercing people in order to ...

Do we get to send rednecks to Texas and Florida? Traverse City certainly has enough of those idiots this summer.

Are they here illegally?

To RT and Hanson - don't you think the migrants are better off in a sanctuary city where they're welcome rather than in a place they aren't? DeSantis and Abbot are doing them a favor. As DeSantis said - "greener pastures."
