Let’s assume he did, for this argument, this was a plain extortion. I don’t know when we started prosecuting extortion victims. He has vehemently denied this affair. But he had to pay money because there was going to be an allegation that was going to be publicly embarrassing to him, regardless of the campaign. – Joe Tacopina	Found on CNN 1 year ago

The east coast of Yorkshire is known as the Dinosaur Coast for very good reasons, although these different types do not necessarily represent the same number of different dinosaurs, they do indicate a diverse ecosystem of animals including both carnivores and herbivores that roamed the Jurassic coastal plain and (river) complex some 160-175 million years ago. The prints also allow us to interpret their behaviour. Thus, we have records of walking, running and swimming dinosaurs. – Mike Romano	Found on CNN 1 year ago
The most intriguing feature of our footprint is a long portion preserved at the back of the foot, which is an impression of what we call the metapodium, the presence of this might suggest our large meat-eater was squatting down in the mud, before standing up and walking away. It’s fun to think this dinosaur might well have been strolling along a muddy coastal plain one lazy Sunday afternoon in the Jurassic. – Dean Lomax	Found on CNN 1 year ago
The big surprise for a lot of people might be that the market has a really boring year, it would be a great change of pace. A plain, boring, vanilla year in the housing market would be a wonderful surprise. – Jeff Tucker	Found on CNN 1 year ago
Moving South Carolina to the head of the primary pack just makes plain sense in terms of making the process more representative of the Democratic base, i believe the president is pushing this change because it’s in the best long-term interests for the party, but it certainly doesn’t hurt should he seek re-election in 2024. – Kevin Walling	Found on FOX News 1 year ago
I want to fully acknowledge the unimaginable suffering caused by the Nazi Holocaust that led to all of Europe saying ‘never again,' but it is happening again, on a far greater scale and in plain sight. The global north is pumping lethal levels of CO2 into the atmosphere and simultaneously erecting ever greater barriers to immigration, turning whole regions of the world into death zones. – Roger Hallam	Found on FOX News 1 year ago
Ann Arbor Mayor Christopher Taylor're more in danger from an advancing front of smug than Ann Arbor Mayor Christopher Taylor are any sort of climate change or anything like that, because these sorts of decisions to go 100 % electric at the same time as Ann Arbor Mayor Christopher Taylor're shutting down everything that's reliable in terms of electricity production — that's just plain dangerous. – Jason Hayes	Found on FOX News 1 year ago
So when Biden is flying these people all over the fruited plain in the middle of the night, I didn't hear a peep out of those people, i haven't heard a peep about all the people that have been told by Biden [migrants] can just come in — and they're going, they're being abused by the cartels. They're drowning in the Rio Grande. You had 50 that died in some shed in Texas. I heard no outrage about any of that. – Ron DeSantis	Found on FOX News 1 year ago
There's a legal way of doing this. And for managing migrants, Republican governors, interfering in that process and using migrants as political pawns is shameful, is reckless and just plain wrong. And remember, these are people who are fleeing communism, who are fleeing hardship. – Karine Jean-Pierre	Found on FOX News 1 year ago
One could argue the plain meaning of the legislation by spelling it out in English, represents an intent to have it be government sponsored speech with a specific message they want to convey, on the other hand, it could be argued that the law is vague in that it does not identify that it could NOT be written in other languages. – Lynn King	Found on CNN 1 year ago
I expect that the president will capitulate to the Communist Party of China. It should be pretty apparent to anybody that's been alive for the past five years that the Biden family is completely compromised by the Communist Party of China, it's been a grift for a very long time, and instead of going after the Communist Party of China, they're happy to change the text words of Jim Jordan that were on his phone, so that's all a distraction to keep the American people from focusing on what really is actionable intelligence and actual evidence like you said in plain sight that the DOJ should be pursuing right now. – Scott Perry	Found on FOX News 1 year ago
He is badly mistaken, or being misled, or ignorant, I don’t know which of those it is, but he's just plain wrong. What he claims is ridiculous. And when you have people who have done very, very dangerous things that have negatively impacted the community, they should not be released after short prison sentences. – Kathy Cady	Found on FOX News 1 year ago
I oppose and will vote against the nomination of Judge Jackson to the Supreme Court, my decision is based upon her record of judicial activism, flawed sentencing methodology regarding child pornography cases, and a belief that Judge Jackson will not be deterred by the plain meaning of the law when it comes to liberal causes. – Lindsey Graham	Found on FOX News 2 years ago
A monster with a gun murdered a little boy on his way to kindergarten – because he was cut off on the freeway, the callousness of this crime is unspeakable, but the fact that this couple continued to hide out in plain sight knowing full well they killed a 6-year-old child while Aiden’s grieving parents pleaded with the killers to come forward is [unforgivable]. – Orange County District	Found on FOX News 2 years ago
We proved that we can keep up with anybody, and that’s just plain and simple. – Madison Bartley	Found on FOX News 2 years ago
Last year we removed a criminal off the street with an illegal gun every five days. That doesn't hit the index crimes because they haven't committed one yet, because of all the things we use -- we use a lot of technology to identify stolen cars, and they're coming into town, so they can steal in town, but we still managed to catch them with traffic stops. It's amazing how many people leave drugs and guns in plain sight, so obviously, that gives you an opportunity to search the vehicle and find things. – Orland Park Mayor Keith Pekau	Found on FOX News 2 years ago
It was horrible. even if we wanted to evacuate women and children from here, it's just plain impossible. – Andriy Abba	Found on CNN 2 years ago
What these data are designed to give us a sense of is : What's the magnitude of the issue ? It's a little like looking at some mountains across a big plain. You can see where the mountains rise, where they peak and where they fall. You don't have to count every tree to get the big picture. – William Schaffner	Found on CNN 2 years ago
Scores of them have already asked me to come in and campaign with them, to go out and make the case in plain, simple language as to what it is we've done, what we want to do, and why we think it's important. – Joe Biden	Found on CNN 2 years ago
It's unfortunate and shocking to learn for the first time this week that Brian felt differently about our interview with him, for Brian to make an assumption about my appearance and state of mind early that morning was subjective, hurtful and just plain wrong. If I appeared' disheveled,' as he claimed, it was because we had flown in during the middle of the night -- immediately following another interview in Denver -- and were going on a few hours of sleep to meet the only window provided to us. – John Elway	Found on CNN 2 years ago
