From what I am gathering about Trump is "The Donald" markets his own name for branding on products/buildings that are not his own. He doesn't apparently run any of these sales meetings or build any of the "Trump-name Branded" buildings...he just gets paid by the developers for name useage, and in the contracts you need to sign, it is all spelled out in black and whi

From the Death Ray trial, another witness on the stand: Mercer became emotional as she told jurors how she and her mother found three people unconscious in the sweat lodge — two women and one man — and asked Ray whether they could lift up the coverings to get them out. "It would be sacrilegious, but if you have to, you can," she quoted Ray as saying. What Mercer saw brought her an

I am pleased that Lil' Timmy has resurfaced.

The Anticult did not call HAI a cult. Those are your words. The Catholic church is not a cult. There are "cult-like" groups operating in the church (Legionares of Christ, etc.). HAI meets the definition of LGAT. That is different from a cult. Even a cursory glance at HAI (from my view) and it reads like a deranged sexual pervert "course". Speculum? Really? This

I know you are right, The Anticult, but I pray you are wrong. DeathRay must NOT be a slippery eel and escape his responisblity! If this had been anyone here we would be rotting in jail for 20 years. DeathRay must NOT be allowed to escape on STUPID juror sentiment.

Good stuff, Stoic. I like the line here (regarding organophosphates): QUOTE: The defense's objection stems from the Hamiltons' recent contact with Det.
