See, just like I said.
This didn't have shit to do with Trump, Epstein, Barr, or anything else you'd been cooking up in your imaginations.
This guy was some rando lawyer who simply had a hate on for this particular judge.

@mcfate I dunno man. Still not convinced that this isn't exactly the kind of guy who could be persuaded to do something stupid and then made to "commit suicide" to cover the tracks. But my guess is we'll never know for sure. π€·ββοΈ
Well, you're going to believe whatever makes you happy, and the actual evidence is less material than your preconceived notions.
That's sloppy, wishful thinking.
Occam's Razor didn't get repealed when Trump stumbled into office.
@mcfate I think we can rule out the absurd without also ruling out the plausible. It's not binary. There's still a lot of time for more information to come out before I'm going to settle on any particular conclusion on this story.
I can rule out every single thing that doesn't have some concrete evidence to back it up.
Do you even know what Occam's Razor IS? We're talking Critical Thinking 101 here.
@mcfate I'm familiar, yes. It's lazy, and it's more of a guideline than a law. But thanks for assuming I'm an idiot.
Hey, if you can stop needlessly multiplying entities even after I've pointed out to you that you're doing it, you won't suffer in this particular fashion.
There's as much of a basis for me to implicate Babymetal as there is for you to implicate Barr. Any number of things a "plausible", but the MOST plausible thing is that a guy with an existing, demonstrated grudge against women and judges got a terminal cancer diagnosis and decided to go out in a poorly-conceived blaze of glory.
Why embroider it when there's nothing backing up the embroidery? It's nothing but wishful thinking.
It's pure fan-fiction and the wild finish is that your enemies come to a well-deserved end. I get it.
But it's FANTASY. It's got nothing to do with the reality of what happened.
And no, it's not "lazy", unless you consider spinning fairy tales based on True Stories productive in some way. What's likely is you'll continue muttering darkly about "WHAT DON'T WE KNOW, THOUGH!?"
And that path winds you up in a Qargo Qult. Same "thinking" process.
@mcfate What evidence do you have that there's nothing more to this story that we just found out about mere hours ago?
I think you greatly overestimate my commitment to this. My heart isn't going to be broken if it turns out to be what it appears on the surface. I just have a gut feeling there's more to it. That's all.
I don't have to prove a negative, and it's ridiculous to ask that I do.
You really need to get some basic critical thinking skills.
Your attempts to keep this up certainly seem to represent some sort of "commitment" on your part, but that's your lookout, not mine.
@ScionAltera
Nuh uh. I'm not wondering even a little bit.
I don't waste my time "wondering" about questions that can never be resolved, ESPECIALLY when there's no discernible basis for me to even be asking them at all.
I mean, maybe the the members of Babymetal had her killed. YOU DON'T KNOW.
Wonder about that, it's probably more amusing.
