54 years ago as a sophomore in High school, I remember a lecture in Debate Class. Very Small instructor, very large voice.

IF YOU ASSERT, YOU MUST PROVE. So freakin easy Donald. However I’ve never been in a position where I was on my way to jail and thought lying was my way out. So I can’t empathize with you. On the other hand, I’m a law abiding, tax paying citizen, happily married to wife number one for over 50 years, Veteran whose crime spree consists of two speeding tickets I got in the summer of 84. I promptly and humbly payed both fines. So you can’t empathize with me.
