At what point does Hillary Clinton have the right to sue Donald Trump for slander? I think making up lies about her lying to the FBI must cross a line. She’s a private citizen now. She isn’t running for anything.
There are protections for some presidential actions that would end up in court if they weren’t President. High crimes and misdemeanors are handled by Congress, for example. But this sort of slander is civil, so perhaps it can proceed.
Exodus 21:20-21
If a man beats his male or female slave with a rod and the slave dies as a direct result, he must be punished, but he is not to be punished if the slave gets up after a day or two, since the slave is his property.

Oh man I would have thought it would take longer for Flynn to flip. Seriously, everyone, stop helping Trump commit crimes. He won’t save you, and you destroy your soul. Also, maybe don’t bring your children into your criminal enterprise.
Anyway, thank goodness we avoided having a kindly Methodist grandmother as president.
I support the striking school bus drivers. I’m sure it’s inconvenient for many parents, but you want bus drivers to have healthcare and a retirement plan. These are people in charge of your kids, for goodness sake.

The last new mayor of the year (touch wood) will be sworn in tomorrow. I didn’t vote for her, but I was always on team they’re both fine. So lets hope an even more liberal City Council can push her further to the left.

The liberal soul shall be made fat: and he that watereth shall be watered also himself.

There once was a thread that was open
And as I write it, I’m hopin’
That you won’t hate
How it’s seriously late
And not about the next guy who’s been gropin’
Matthew 10:34-37
Think not that I am come to send peace on earth: I came not to send peace, but a sword. For I am come to set a man at variance against his father, and the daughter against her mother, and the daughter in law against her mother in law. And a man’s foes shall be they of his own household. He that loveth father or mother more than me is not worthy of me: and he that loveth son or daughter more than me is not worthy of me.
