An older man approached an attractive younger woman at a shopping mall.

”Excuse me; I can’t seem to find my wife. Can you talk to me for a couple of minutes?”

The woman, feeling a bit of compassion for the old fellow, said, ”Of course, sir. Do you know where your wife might be?”

”I have no idea, but every time I talk to a woman with tits like yours, she seems to appear out of nowhere.”

The best Birthday card I ever got had two old guys sitting on a bench and one was crying, he said “I have a hot, young wife who can’t keep her hands off me.”. The other guy says ” So why the Hell are you crying? “.
The first guy sobbed “I can’t remember where I live! “.

Why the picture with Haley? Haley has spoken out in support for SLED Chief Mark Keel. Wouldn’t a picture with Trump have been more appropriate.?

Henry McMaster has longer fingers than Trump. Haley notices. Michael, irritated, notices too.

“Michael, irritated, notices too.”

LMAO!!! Maybe it doesn’t irritate him, maybe it excites him.

I wonder if Nikki and Michael call old Henry, “Mountain Dew”.*

* “Mountain Dew, it’ll tickle your innards!”

For those too young to get the comment, I offer a piece of retro Americana.

Safety in Numbers, when there actually is none. Its too late for them now. What is coming can’t be derailed, can’t be stopped, can’t be bought. As sure as the sun rises each morning, dozens of them are well on their way now to federal prison. The engine has been cranked and its running now.

Here’s an idea: Rather babbling incoherently, why not take Scoppe’s analysis of the facts and applicable law and tell us where she’s wrong? (That’s a rhetorical question. There are two reasons you can’t do it. First, she’s right and second, you wouldn’t have the intellectual capacity to do it even if she was wrong).

Irrespective of my intellectual capacity

Cindi Ross Scoppe makes a legal argument for her position. Just because something may be technically legal doesn’t make it morally right.

Even Ms. Scope’s legal argument is in error, however. She is wrong on the issue of recusal. I begin with several excerpts of the editorial.

The question of whether Mr. Wilson can have any involvement in a case where he has recused himself is trickier, because no statute directly addresses it.

And recusal is a voluntary thing, left entirely to the discretion of the prosecutor. In fact, when judges recuse themselves, it’s not uncommon for them to later unrecuse themselves.

So, since the law does not require the attorney general to recuse himself, and since the law allows an attorney general who has been disqualified to name his own replacement, it stands to reason that an attorney general who voluntarily steps aside for appearance sake retains the power to change his mind about who should prosecute. Again, this might not be how the law ought to work, but it seems to be how it does work.

Ms. Scoppe’s error is that only statutes and the Constitution govern in recusals. Common law and precedent also can determine whether the Attorney General can or has reversed his recusal. I apologize for not being able to find it now, but I read from a major state newspaper in the last couple of days that in a case where a judge in South Carolina tried to act in a case where she previously recused herself, that interference was denied by the courts and she was removed from the case and later lost her job because of it.

Not quite. The Court of Appeals affirmed a family court’s written decision NOT to recuse after she earlier indicated orally that she would recuse–subject to receiving briefs on the issue from the lawyers involved. She later lost her job, and that case hurt her there–but not because our appeals court shot her down. Quite the opposite.

Point taken, but Scoppe’s possition that recusal is entirely in the discretion of the person reusing themselves is wrong. Courts have made rulings requiring it as well as denying it.

When McMaster was the AG, I contacted him with proof of Jury tampering. He could have cared less and made NO effort to investigate, help with an investigation, or give any consideration to the crime.

God Save America! Politics is nothing but scumbags screwing the working class in America. I am beginning to believe America can’t be saved from itself. I do not know personally but Fits must have some real inside connections and that is what it would take to strengthen America and South Carolina and take us out of the abyss we find ourselves in but the press is sold out to this corruption and they would take sic down before they allow him to go to far.We cannot be saved. It all boils down to Survival of The Fittest .
