It's an endearing nickname that has been much earned -- much like nincompoopiehead is yours (well, and Sparko's as well).

There are actually a number of pool halls in Houston named Slick Willy's.

ETA: Wow, as well as Austin, San Antonio and Oklahoma City!!!

Getting to grips with the complicated background:
Lawfare 457, Ukraine, podcast.

I'd point out that you are "arguing by weblink", but you failed to provide the link.

ff, I think you've been told this before -- you can't just throw out something like that - you have to give a summary or idea what it's about.

And if you're going to provide a cite, include the cite!

I guess they just couldn't find any dirt on Biden in his nearly 50 years as an elected official as one of the least wealthy members of Congress. So they decided the only way to smear him was to connect Biden and his official duties as VP to his sons private business. What Biden did in Ukraine was to follow the orders of his Boss, period. Whatever Hunter Biden was up to, guilty or innocent, is irrelevant to that.

I have looked for a web address but not found one. The Lawfare podcast is easily found for anyone interested.

When the executive is peddling false information, all the time, you have to know where to find reliable information. I am happy to help in that regard.

That's only because we haven't done enough investigations! We need to investigate to figure out what crimes he might have committed!



(Is that how the argument goes? I'll admit, I have trouble thinking down to the level of the average liberal.)

The Lawfare Podcast: WTF, Ukraine!

He's said before this is some kind of phone thing. I, on the other hand, am a touch typist, and will never be guilty of typing in all thumbs. (Because thumbs are only a quarter as efficient in hitting the wrong keys.)

It's from October 1, which is almost a lifetime ago in terms of the Ukraine scandal, but it's still a good backgrounder.

"The revelation that President Trump and his envoys pressured the Ukrainian government..."

This is unequivocally false. The transcript shows there was no pressure. The former US Special Envoy to the Ukraine says that Joe Biden was never a topic of discussion. The Ukraine president and his foreign minister are both on record saying there was no pressure.

That Lawfare (LOL-fare?) continues to promote this false narrative reveals an abject lack of credibility.

No, you see the way it works, MM, is that evidence emerges, you know, perhaps via a whistleblower, and then you investigate. That you trumpsters are incapable of seeing evidence is a problem that only you can solve for your blind selves.

Even more desperation. The mask is slipping off.
