I am tired. I'm sure there is some snarky comeback I could make. Pretend it was a real corker.
I tried it once. It felt like swimming, but I was naked...
Matthew Shea (WA Congressman)
on Friday
MY STATEMENT PRIOR TO SESSION:
Under our Constitution, anyone accused of a crime has right to see all the evidence against them, to face their accusers, and to call witnesses in their defense.
I have been falsely accused of being a ādomestic terroristā by a private investigator who never spoke to the principals involved in the incidents she described and relied instead on anonymous sources. Based solely on this investigatorās dossier, the Speaker of the House said I āengaged in an act of domestic terrorism.ā
This is a lie.
The Speaker also said she forwarded the dossier to the FBI and the US Attorney's office. I have heard nothing from either office in the month since she did so. In fact, the only contact I have had with the FBI I am deeply grateful for -- this past year agents contacted me to warn me of threats against me and my family as a result of these continued politically motivated attacks.
If the Speaker actually believes what she says, that I am a ādomestic terrorist,ā she should respect the ability and proper role of prosecutors and federal law enforcement to make a charging determination. Elected officials who casually accuse others of crimes without waiting for prosecutors to charge (much less juries convict), all with an eye towards overturning the results of elections they disagree with, are an ugly and corrosive feature of our modern political landscape.
The only member of the House in Washington State to ever be expelled was after they had been afforded due process and convicted of a crime. You donāt have to agree with my political views to believe that anyone accused of a crime has a right to see all the evidence against them, to face their accusers, and to call witnesses in their defense. These rights are guaranteed by our Constitution. Any action by the Legislature based solely on the dossier and without affording me those basic rights undermines the very pillars of our Republic.
If Pelosi did say that and this dude is proven innocent, he could sue the shit out of her.

Did you hear about the game designer of the Night game, that committed suicide because Zoey Quinn came out with this insane story and everyone turned on him?
Oh I can believe it
Within a week fired, disbarred from his company, banned from everything.
Commits suicide.
Disgusting
How do we as a culture scale back the "Any Blame is Valid" policy that seems to have infected everything?
Stop blaming people and assuming the worst
i think the board game industry is full of commies
there was bullshit a couple of years ago with Frances from Ant Lab Games. some commies were complaining about harassment in muh community and Frances said "hey, how about be smart with your safety and properly assess risk around you instead of expecting the entire world to conform around you?" and the commies slandered her at gencon
