I know you can only speak from your own perspective, but please understand that (thank goodness) not everyone is as racist as you are.

Cromartie death penalty case

It's a 'joke'.
He should've been afforded DNA testing.

Georgia stands condemned...for having death chambers in which it kills human beings at all...and for execution-slaughtering Mr Cromartie without DNA testing in this case.
It's what they do at the slaughterhouse, walk the animals in alive and take them out dead.
Death chambers...so much like 'Auschwitz'...time USA bulldozed them all.

Moral of the story;

. Live in Georgia at your own peril. If you do already, consider moving out.
. Never have any friends, they could lead you astray and into a life of crime and early death. They could ruin your life. They could cause you to make poor life choices.
Get a dog instead.

If Mr Cromartie had stayed home with a dog instead of going out with his friends he would've had a much better life.

Ok. So you don’t like his opinions.
But he is an expert on National Security Expert by any definition.

He is neither an expert on national security experts, nor a national security expert, by any definition.

LOL. Only if we limit opinions to you and YankGuy.

John Yoo is a lawyer who worked in the Department of Justice under W.  His seminal work in that role, the torture memo which refuted our obligations to the Geneva Conventions, was panned by actual national security experts for the very real damage it did to our national security interests.

And it could be added (because I've just looked it up) that those torture memos were repudiated by the OLC after they were less than a few years old, and are no longer used as guidance.  A 2009 report by the Office for Professional Responsibility re: his approval of waterboarding techniques accused Yoo of committing "intentional professional misconduct" and recommended he be disbarred.

So yeah, kudos to Berkeley for hiring him.

Yoo never served in a national security role in any administration, nor served in any profession engaged in national security issues over the course of his career.

Either you can point to where he has, or explain how "any definition" of a national security expert includes someone who never worked in national security.

LOL  Those “ torture memos” according to NEEDS are the only criteria permissible to judge John Yoo’s credibility as a National Security Expert.

Do you actually read anybody else's posts?  Or do you just do Cliffs Notes?  Which for a self-styled educator would be kind of lazy.

Another entry from Ambrose Bart's dictionary...

sewer (n.)  -- any U.S. city that contains a demographic somewhere ideologically to the left of Kid Carter.

I like Burlington.

Frozen shithole.

Loved his work with Altman. Nashville is my second favorite movie ever.

He plays great asshole roles.  Like the stockbroker who cheats on, then dumps Jill Clayburgh.  Still haven't seen Tanner 88, which am a bit embarrassed to say on a politics thread.

Given the Trump/Sondland call was done on private cellphones (thus violating the presidential records act), I would guess there are two options for investigators....a

Get a warrant to seize Trump's cellphone, which if it's like most cellphones, at least logs all incoming calls, showing the number from which it originated. 

Ask Russian intelligence if they would give us a copy of the recording they likely made in Kyiv.

Since these options have zero probability of working, I guess it's worth asking if some US branch of the intelligence services might have somehow made a record of the call.

But then, all Trump's paranoia and Deep State rant would be gloriously validated.   

Is there some legal loophole for US intelligence?

Seize Trump's cellphone - heh - that's a good one.

Hillary says "GET THE HAMMER!"

What is the criminal conspiracy Hillary Clinton was accused of that destruction of her old phones would have covered up?

When she allegedly inflated footballs to improve her completion percentage, duh.
