Tired of the toxicity of social media? Why not join Ricochet for just $5/month? Think of it as an online bar. Come in, have a drink, hang out, say whatever you want. But don’t badger, bully, or berate the other drinkers. That's our only rule.
This week, another free-form GLoP, with topics ranging from the Bill Barr imbroglio, exotic Chinese cuisine, the prospect of a Socialist being the nominee of the Democratic party, some talk about the Oscars, and another edition of the old GLoP standard, What Are You Watching?

These three fellows have a problem thinking rationally when the subject is Donald Trump.
They accuse him of pressuring the Justice Department to help out his old friend, Roger Stone. But if that is his motive, he doesn’t need to pressure anybody. He can just pardon Stone.
Trump’s real motive, I suggest, is that he just likes to express what he is thinking, and right now he is thinking the proposed sentence for Stone is unjustly long.
It’s very similar to when he told Jim Comey that Gen. Mike Flynn had been dealt with too harshly.

Fun catch by Jonah in regard to Dracula's marvelling over the riches he found in the home of some ordinary person and observing how they surpassed those of monarchs and aristocrats in ages past.

Wow, lots of "technical issues" in this one. At least I assume that's what all the silent pauses and stuff, were from.

One of the things that makes the 2020 Presidential election different from the 2018 Congressional election is that in 2018 the Democrats were able to tailor the candidate to the district, running liberals in liberal districts and moderates in moderate districts.
So moderate, indeed, that one of them has now jumped to the Republican Party.
Obviously, they can’t do that in a Presidential election: they have to run the same candidate everywhere.
They seem to be stuck. The candidate has to be Bernie Sanders, or the Bernie Bro’s will a) riot at the nominating convention, and b) stay home on election day. But Sanders may be too well-known for the media to sell him to the American people, the way they did with more obscure candidates like Bill Clinton and Barack Obama.

@BlueYeti, what happened? Really, there are a lot of silences and at least one bad Jerry MacGuire insertion. I thought you had let JPod edit it.
