    Trump is a total imbecile besides a being a pedophile and convicted sex offender.

    But his minions here love that.

    Under the state’s guidelines, someone convicted of a sex offense must register as a sex offender upon returning to the community after a probation, payment of a fine, jail or prison sentence. These laws are common across the U.S.

    But Trump did not face criminal charges, so these laws do not apply in his case. 

    He was found liable, not convicted, of sexual abuse. So, the sex registry law doesn’t apply and he has no duty to register as a sex offender.

    The standard of burden of proof in a civil case is by "preponderance of the evidence," a lower standard than in a criminal case, which requires proof "beyond a reasonable doubt." 

    To prove something by "preponderance of the evidence" means that someone must convince the jury that it is more likely than not that the defendant is responsible for the harm suffered by the plaintiff.

    USPS sucks. Sitting at one location for days on end. Sometimes it's just 150 miles away in southern New Hampshire for a week wall

    I learned long ago to go out of my way to show delivery drivers that I appreciate them and they will go out of their way for you. We get our regular UPS driver a box of Milk Bone dog biscuits about once a month to give out. Sadie doesn't even get a Milk Bone unless she gets it from the driver lol

    I get USPS deliveries even on Sunday's.

    PSA: The Red 'Juice' In Your Steak Isn’t Blood—Here’s What It Really Is

    Have you been ordering your steaks and burgers well-done because you don’t like the idea of bloody meat? What if I told you that that pool of red juice at the bottom of your plate isn’t blood at all? And in fact, that it can’t be blood because there’s no blood left in the meat by the time you start cooking with it? I know it seems counterintuitive, but read below to open your world up to the joy of juicy, medium-rare meat, no blood to be seen. Here’s what you need to know:

    What Makes That Juice Red

    The liquid that comes out of a piece of freshly-cooked steak is actually water mixed with myoglobin. Myoglobin is a protein that’s rich in iron that turns red when exposed to oxygen. All proteins, from chicken to pork to beef, contain myoglobin to some degree: the higher the level, the redder the meat appears. Red meat, such as beef, contains by far the most, and that’s the reason it appears so red when you buy it in the grocery store. That’s also why that the water coming from a freshly-cooked steak is such a deep red color and appears “bloody.”

    Okay, But Then Where Is the Blood?

    Most consumers don’t think about it, but by the time a piece of beef, pork, or chicken reaches the store—let alone your kitchen—all the blood has been removed from that meat. When any animal is slaughtered, it undergoes a specific blood-draining process called exsanguination. The blood is removed to help keep the meat safe for consumption (blood can be a breeding ground for bacteria), and also to make the product more appealing for consumers. This step is not optional: it’s a key part of meat processing. Trust me (and if not me, millions of slaughter houses and meat processors): any animal protein that you’ve bought at the grocery store cannot possibly be leaching blood, before or after cooking.

    Regardless...

    Your steak might not be bleeding onto your plate, but you still want to avoid a situation where any protein is releasing lots of liquid when it’s cut into. First, it will flood anything else currently on that plate—not ideal—and second, all that liquid should really be staying inside the meat to keep it juicy. If all that juice is on your plate, chances are the meat itself will taste really dry.

    To avoid this, make sure you’re letting any just-cooked piece of protein (other than fish!) rest for at least 5 minutes before cutting into it. If it’s a larger piece of meat, such as roast beef or an entire roast chicken, it’s wise to wait even longer. This will allow the muscle fibers in the protein to relax so they can retain the maximum amount of moisture, preventing that flood of liquid and helping to ensure a juicy piece of meat.

    Hawley seeks to repeal Medicaid cuts he voted for

    Sen. Josh Hawley (R-Mo.) wants to repeal parts of the “big, beautiful” law he just voted for. 

    Hawley on Tuesday introduced new legislation to roll back some of the Medicaid cuts that were included in the massive tax cut law, which passed the Senate two weeks ago and was signed into law by President Trump on July 4.

    Democrats underwater in new poll

    Democrats underwater in new poll

    The Democratic Party’s approval rating is underwater at 40 percent, according to a new poll, the latest troubling sign for a party still grappling with its losses from November.

    A Harvard CAPS/Harris Poll released on Monday found that only 4 in 10 respondents approved of the job that the Democratic Party is doing, a slight drop from June, when 42 percent of respondents answered similarly.

    Of the 40 percent of respondents who gave the Democratic Party a thumbs-up, they included 72 percent of Democrats and 29 percent of independent or other voters.

    The latest poll shows that the party’s disapproval rating sits at 60 percent, slowly inching up from 58 percent in June. Twenty-eight percent of surveyed Democrats and 71 percent of independent and other voters contributed to the overall 60 percent disapproval rating of the party.

    By comparison, the Harvard CAPS/Harris poll found the GOP with a 48 percent approval rating, which includes 85 percent of Republicans and 38 percent of independent and other voters who had that sentiment.

    Overall, the GOP had a 52 percent disapproval rating.

    The polling underscores a broader trend for Democrats who have grappled with low approval ratings as the party has attempted to reset after a disappointing November election. While the party has begun to regain some of its footing with its messaging as it rallies against the Medicaid cuts included in Republicans’ major policy bill, the party is still searching for national leaders to help guide the party.

    “Democrats are doing a good job throwing jabs at the administration but that’s not helping them with their own image, which remains in the cellar,” said Mark Penn, chair of the Harris Poll, in an email.

    However, the Harvard CAPS/Harris polling indicates there may be several openings for Democrats: For one, the latest poll found that only 40 percent of respondents said the country was on the right track, while 51 percent said it was on the wrong track.

    And while 52 percent of respondents believe the U.S. economy is strong today, only 38 percent of respondents also say that the economy is on the right track.

    One thing likely to play in Democrats’ favor is that the president’s party in power typically faces headwinds during the midterm cycle, which could aid Democrats in retaking the House and making inroads in the Senate.

    The Harvard CAPS/Harris Poll survey was conducted from July 6 to July 8 and surveyed 2,044 registered voters. It is a collaboration of the Center for American Political Studies at Harvard University and the Harris Poll.

    is an online sample and weighted to reflect known demographics. The margin of error is 2.2 percentage points.

    Gotta love the fake outrage by Barb ... must be on a longer menstrual cycle than usual, as normally she's only here for a week and then disappears.

    Epstein only matters when Trump's in office, apparently, since no democrats were ever involved lol

    Well, Rev is a dumb cunt so it's expected of her.

    Bondi released video she claimed was raw of Epstein’s jail and it had been edited. She claimed to have a Epstein’s list and then claimed it didn’t exist. You seen footage of Epstein and Trump together. By this point you know Trump appointed people that allowed Epstein to avoid jail and continue to offend.

    You are either stupid or complicit.

    Fake news

    Did that help? It was a simple change here to he. But it was a good question.

    Just the other day Trump scolded a reporter for asking about the Epstein files when “there is so much more important things going on”. Evidently a has been dyke living in Ireland is more important than making Pedo’s like Trump pay for their crimes.

    Of course you mean "Pedo's" like Biden, MC and yourself..

    Read it again and turn here to he. Then you can answer.

    Yes your mind is extremely feeble, it's surprising you can comprehend anything at all, perhaps you'll learn someday.

    You supported an incest pedophile. The closed doors of the Biden family. You seem proud.

    Scrape up $25.00 to become a donating member or still going with the Democrat free ride and let somebody else pay

    MC's probably a Pedo himself that's why he supported Pedo Biden.
