My 2016 981 GT4 was based on the Boxster/Cayman platform.
So you would have been kind of "right" about my second Porsche.
It was a beautiful Sapphire Blue Metallic.

But not my current ride my 2023 992.1 GT3 Touring.

Trump to award Rudy Giuliani the Presidential Medal of Freedom - CBS News https://www.cbsnews.com/news/trump-rudy-giuliani-presidential-medal-of-freedom/

Rudy has requested the award ceremony take place at Four Seasons Total Landscaping.




*A lot of people have been saying that a future POTUS may sign an Executive Order to retrieve both Rudy's and Rush Limbaugh's medals, regardless of what that might entail.

Agreed!!
The MF should be hanged for treason.
You don't think he knew the origin of his infamous phrase???




The phrase "trial by combat" refers to a very real medieval legal practice, and the wording itself has deep roots. Here's the breakdown:



Origins of the Practice
Early Middle Ages (~8th9th century): Trial by combat (also called judicial duel) emerged in the Frankish kingdoms under Charlemagne. It spread through much of continental Europe and later reached England.
It was a way to let God "decide" the truth the victor of the fight was presumed to have divine judgment on their side.



Earliest Known Phrasing
In Latin, it was called duellum (duel) or judicium Dei ("judgment of God").
In Old French, it appeared as combat judiciaire.
In Middle English (13th14th century) translations of law texts, the literal phrase "trial by combat" began appearing as English law adopted and described the practice.



Use in England
First introduced formally into English law by William the Conqueror (1066), who imported Norman customs.
The phrase "trial by combat" became standard in English legal language by the 13th century, especially after the case of Henry de Essex (1163), who lost a judicial duel and was stripped of lands.
The practice was technically legal in England until 1819, though by the late Middle Ages it was rarely invoked.



So, while the practice itself dates back to the 8th century, the exact English phrase "trial by combat" likely became common in the 13th14th century, when French and Latin legal terms were translated into English.

The phrase is known and understood.
When Rudy used it in encouraging the crowd to the Capitol, he was inciting fatal violence.

And now Trump wishes to give him the highest civilian award???

And people like Wife get incensed when some of us liken them to Nazis. Pfft!
Fools!!!

If proper legal actions had been taken, the following would go as far as I claim. The only reason it didn't is because of political reasons.
You know Rudy passed the bar in 1969. You don't think he knew the historical context?? He knew. He wasn't talking fisticuffs!

AI analysis:


You're bringing up something that historians and legal scholars have debated since January 6, 2021. Let's unpack it step by step and then compare with Hitler's Beer Hall Putsch (1923).



Giuliani's "Trial by Combat" remark
On January 6, 2021, at the rally before the storming of the U.S. Capitol, Rudy Giuliani told the crowd:
"Let's have trial by combat!"
This was said as he urged Trump supporters to contest the certification of the 2020 election.
Within hours, rioters stormed the Capitol, resulting in multiple deaths, injuries, and widespread damage.



Legal vs. Treason
Treason (U.S. Constitution, Article III, Sec. 3): "levying war against [the United States], or in adhering to their enemies, giving them aid and comfort."
Historically applied only to actions like taking up arms against the U.S. (e.g., Civil War rebels).
Giuliani's speech does not meet the strict constitutional definition of treason.
Incitement / Seditious conspiracy:
Prosecutors instead considered whether remarks like his could count as incitement to violence (per Brandenburg v. Ohio test: intent + likelihood of imminent lawless action).
No U.S. court has (so far) charged Giuliani criminally for "trial by combat," but his words are widely seen as reckless, inflammatory, and possibly encouraging mob violence.



Comparison to Hitler's Beer Hall Putsch (1923)

Aspect Giuliani (Jan. 6, 2021) Hitler (Beer Hall Putsch, 1923)
Context Protest against certification of U.S. election Attempted coup in Munich, seize Bavarian govt
Leader Giuliani (Trump ally) urging "trial by combat" at rally Hitler, Ludendorff, and Nazi Party storming a beer hall
Tactics Rally + speech; mob later attacked Capitol Paramilitary (SA) tried to seize officials and march on city
Outcome Riot, deaths, disruption of Congress, but govt survived Gun battle, 16 Nazis + 4 police killed; coup failed
Legal Response Giuliani not criminally convicted for speech (though under lawsuits, disbarred later) Hitler arrested, tried for treason, sentenced (served ~9 months, wrote Mein Kampf)
Historical View Seen as dangerous rhetoric fueling an insurrection attempt Direct, organized attempt at violent overthrow of state




Key Difference
Hitler's Putsch was a direct, organized coup attempt to topple the Bavarian state and ultimately Weimar Germany.
Giuliani's remark was part of a rally that fed into a violent mob attack on Congress, but he himself did not lead an armed takeover attempt.
Both, however, used incendiary language + crowd mobilization in ways that escalated into violence.



So, Giuliani's "trial by combat" is not legally treason under U.S. law, but it can be compared to proto-fascist tactics: using militant rhetoric to push an angry base toward extralegal, violent action.

Would you like me to show how American prosecutors and historians have officially categorized Giuliani's role (e.g., incitement, conspiracy, disbarment reasoning) compared with how Hitler's treason trial shaped his political rise?

Michelin is having trouble competing with Asia.

Here's some CONTEXT which you never provide in your "cut and paste" twitter posts:


"The Cholet plant mainly manufactures light truck tires a segment that "has seen a significant decline" in Europe in recent years, with no prospect of recovery, said Michelin.

The Vannes site mainly produces metal reinforcements such as cables, which are then used to manufacture car tires in countries including Spain and Italy.

In recent years production volumes have been declining at the plant due to changing demand from truck tire plants in Europe, said Michelin. The group is going through a difficult year with a slowdown in the new vehicle market. Michelin already closed its La-Roche-sur-Yon site in western France in 2020 and is preparing to close two plants in Germany by 2025. The company said that in La Roche-sur-Yon more than 635 jobs had been created, compared with 613 jobs eliminated."

Workers protest as Michelin plans to close two French plants

Again, you provide ZERO CONTEXT which makes your posts literally worthless.
Total rubbish.

Ilhan Omar's husband has a Venture Capital firm (Rose Lake Capital) and owns a winery in Santa Rosa.

Rose Lake claims to have $60 Billion in assets under management, according to its website.
That's where her net worth comes from.

Duh.
