I would be delighted to see Trump prosecuted for adultery (which is technically still on the books in NYS, albeit Supreme Court precedent is that states can’t enforce it anymore). Of course, I would want to see it fairly prosecuted, not used as a political target. If states can't enforce adultery l...

Trump has a legal problem that he's going to try to fix with political means. Correction: Biden has a political problem he’s trying to fix by claiming his opponent has a criminal problem. Is there any evidence Biden had anything to do with this trial? No, I don't think the fact that the defendant m...

Looks simple and I have all the ingredients but the heavy cream. Let us know how it turns out. Do you think one could substitute yogurt for the cream?
