Sam is a homeless man that lives at the entrance to a local library. The mayor wants to get Sam away from the entrance to the library and has personally offered him assistance for housing or shelter. But Sam has always refused. He likes his situation. After months of negotiating, the mayor has a small victory. Sam has moved away from the entrance and is now living on the bench under a nearby tree. True story. What do you do when they don't want a job or housing?

Depends on your views on TULIP theology.

Makes sense. I think this has been US (and most country's) policy for a long time. The head of the country is immune. Having this type of policy protects the US president also.

@Doctor-Phibes said in The Religion of Peace: Those eejits still celebrate the Battle of the Boyne, 1690, and talk about King Billy (William of Orange) as if he's still around. Yeah, but the Mohammedans have a thousand years' head start.

@Jolly said in Pelosi steps down as House Democratic Leader: I'm just waiting for her funeral. I've never seen this sung at a funeral before... A number of folks sang it when Margaret Thatcher died.

The guy had already been pardoned by Trump for other campaign finance violations you’d think he’d quit while he was ahead.

@Axtremus said in 880 Yards: Ugh … why would the prosecutor continue to prosecute even after Child Protective Services dropped the case? One would think CPS is the agency with the expertise in a case like this. Well, according to an attorney friend of mine, the best prosecutors have a Nazi streak in them.

@Mik said in Pie: @brenda My favorite. My mom’s was great. My SIL makes it every year but her pecans always sink. I've never had the nuts sink. How does that even happen? It's actually a very easy pie to make. Not sure why her pecans sink.

@George-K said in The Worst Speaker of the Last 100 Years: @jon-nyc I was going to comment on (as you called him) Cardinal Hastert's sexual...indiscretions? That alone makes him a horrible person. But does it make him one of the worst speakers? No, it doesn't.
