Animal jokes.

Members can compete with one another regarding the more daring, creative, effective and AUDACIOUS examples of the genre (er, art form).
(Pretty sure it would be perfect to replace the once popular “Debate Clubs”, which are pretty much defunct these days…because one is not allowed to debate anything.)

They can delve into topics like “Pure Plagiarism” vs. “Applied Plagiarism”; “Platonic Plagiarism” vs. Post-Modern Plagiarism…and of course there’s “Meta-Plagiarism”, for those more advanced participants.

With real-live examples, certainly.

Georgia Lawmakers Introduce Legislation to Bar RICO Charges
The Messenger (via MSN.com) ^ | 31 January 2024 | Eva Surovell

State lawmakers in Georgia on Wednesday introduced legislation to void the racketeering charges former President Donald Trump is facing in the state. The lawmakers say they seek to prevent “current and future politically-motivated prosecutions commenced” in Georgia….

Get out of jail free card courtesy of a previous President? Stranger things have happened.

Here’s Glenn Reynold’s of Instapundit dishing Wednesday night:
“AN ATLANTA LAWYER FRIEND SENDS THIS: Business Partners Of Fani Willis’ Alleged Lover Bankrolled Her Campaign. She Gave Them Lucrative Contracts. [LINK to Daily Caller expose: https://dailycaller.com/2024/01/31/fani-willis-nathan-wade-law-contract-donations/%5D

My friend adds [says Glenn]: “Oh, this is cascading. And I’m only sending you the stuff that’s already public. You’d be amazed what unsubstantiated rumors are flying around among the local bar.”

The other matter comes from newly discovered documents unearthed by America First Legal:
today.

“A secret Obama memo, the Presidential Information Technology Committee (PITC), regarding control of Presidential records could change everything in the DOJ’s politicized prosecution of Trump,” the organization announced Tuesday on Twitter/X.
…
America First goes on to explain that “Obama’s PITC memo may have created a reasonable belief in President Trump that he, in fact, had such authority” to “possess or retain… classified documents.” That’s contrary to Smith’s 37-count indictment against Trump for “willful retention of national defense information; conspiracy to obstruct justice; withholding a document or record; corruptly concealing a document in a federal investigation,” among other charges.

The story from Stephen Green is somewhat convoluted. But the jist seems to be that this memo, if still operative throughout the Trump Presidential years, may give him a plain old “Stay Out of Jail” card, with respect his Federal prosecutions by Smith.

Stay tuned. The other old man’s prospects are getting brighter and brighter on multiple fronts, just as FJBs keep turning darker.

Not only were their jokes 4,000 years ago, in his novel, “Galapagos,” Kurt Vonnegut asserts that even 1,000,000 years from now, when environmental changes lead to humans evolving into furry sort-of sea lions:

“And people still laugh about as much as they ever did, despite their shrunken brains. If a bunch of them are lying around on a beach, and one of them farts, everybody else laughs and laughs, just as people would have done a million years ago.”
