unprovoked attack in this context is used correctly, i do that a lot, as your signature says. follow isn't, that would imply to me that i follow you to another subforum you post in, or even that i respond to you in one thread then dig to find a post of your's in another thread in pard, neither of which i do tbh. im usually careful to keep my attention in one thread, spilling over is a bad sign of weakness. many people in this sub have that bad habit.


that line you draw to identify 'weakness' seems a bit arbitrary to me, but at least it's easily identifiable.

so fair enough, if 'following' can only be understood that way (which i somewhat doubt, but like i said, i don't insist on that particular term), i will gladly give you that. just to be clear, it was not my intention to imply you did this outside this sub, it's not like this isn't pathetic enough already. that absolute bottom tier is reserved to poo and exshillence for now...

Michael Cohen surrenders to the FBI

Quote
Why this matters: Cohen is expected to plead guilty today in New York to multiple counts of campaign finance violations, tax fraud and bank fraud as part of a plea deal, according to three sources.

Prosecutors have yet to release details about the charges.

I have a list of tropes that people use in web forums that i consider pathetic, "you're following me", "you're obsessed with me", letting rage spill from thread to thread, excessive reporting, etc. We've seen it a lot in pard, especially the "you're obsessed with me" card, kids like to use that one when they have nothing left to say but still need to talk, it's a white flag. they dont necessarily bother me, i just always wonder if others realize they're having the opposite effect than what they want.

you seriously find it more pathetic to state 'you're following me', than regularly making unprovoked off topic posts containing only borrowed lazy 'insults'?
also, rationalising it as 'nothing left to say', when it's just pointing out the obvious while not stooping to that same level of pettiness, is pretty creative too.

all in all that is some really spectacular mental gymn... i mean 'logic' right there. but hey, whatever helps you sleep at night...

The Manafort trial: Guilty on 8 counts




Unable to reach a decision on 10 counts. I guess you just forgot to mention that part.

Jury says reaches verdict in trial of ex-Trump campaign chairman Manafort

ALEXANDRIA, Va. (Reuters) - A federal court jury in Virginia said on Tuesday it had reached a verdict in the trial of U.S. President Donald Trump’s former campaign chairman Paul Manafort, according to a jury note.

After deliberating for four days, however, the jury of six men and six women told the judge it had failed to reach a decision on 10 of the 18 criminal counts Manafort faces in the first trial stemming from Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s investigation of Russia’s role in the 2016 U.S. election.

All the Manafort, Cohen, election meddling crap is gonna go on full strength until November 6th and maybe a week or so afterwards. Then it will die out again, and not resume until November 2020.

"Michael Cohen pleads guilty to 8 counts

From CNN's Mark Morales

Michael Cohen pleaded guilty today to eight counts.

In a plea deal, he said that "in coordination and at the direction of a candidate for federal office" he kept information that would have been harmful to the candidate and the campaign from becoming public.

A sentencing date is set for December."
