That's the thing -- they're all screaming that, but how do you prove or disprove a liar's words? With evidence. And it looks like Cohen is providing that, too.

Cohen just finished his opening statement and the questioning has begun. There are a lot of places to watch the livestream. "Let me get this straight. Donald Trump wrote you a check from his personal account, while he was serving as the President of the United States, to reimburse you for hush money payments. Is that what you're telling [us]?" "Yes, sir."

Applebees Appetizer posted:I wish there were pads for ribs because the last two times I ate poo poo, my right elbow got slammed right into my ribs and I'm currently trying not to laugh/cough/sneeze/breathe because it hurts like hell. Hahaha, the last big dump of snow we got we were ripping dirt bikes and a three wheeler out in the field behind my friend's house, and he came up to park one of the dirt bikes when he was done and slid out at like a mile an hour and did the same thing, basically just tipped over, and his elbow was in just the right spot to fracture one of his ribs. That poo poo sucks, I've at minimum bruised my right side so many times to the point where it's just like "Welp, I've immediately accepted that the next three weeks are going to suck again."

Aren't Dream Theater, like, one of the biggest influences on the modern prog scene? I'm gonna start listening to them out of sheer spite. Is there any sort of recommended order? Or at least "listen to this one first cause the rest get batshit" or whatever?

I forget which republican it was that asked Cohen about his boxes; "WHERE ARE THE BOXES?! SHOULD YOU NOT HAVE TURNED THOSE OVER TO THE RELEVANT AUTHORITIES?!" Cohen: "these were the boxes returned to me after the raid at my office" "BUT THE BOXES!" The dude overlooking the whole thing then butts in because time's up and the guy's still rattling on about boxes despite having been told the boxes have already been poured over by the FBI. It's nice to know that your house of representatives is as loaded with sycophantic dipshit morons as our very own houses of parliament.

Fender Anarchist posted:Aren't Dream Theater, like, one of the biggest influences on the modern prog scene? I'm gonna start listening to them out of sheer spite. Start with Images and Words, their breakout album. If it's too 90s for you and you want something more metal, Six Degrees of Inner Turbulence is a good next step since it's a double album, the first disc of which is closer in overall feel to their 2000s output and the second of which is more like their more progressive stuff in the 90s. Scenes from a Memory is another incredible album that a lot of fans consider to be their magnum opus and is a good entry point as well. From there you can move onto basically anything. Really the only ones I'd avoid as an entry point are Falling Into Infinity (executive meddling from the record label made the released version of the album kind of weak), Train of Thought (Mike Portnoy wrote a lot of the lyrics while incredibly angry at his stepdad and 9/11 at the same time), When Dream and Day Unite (debut album with a different singer and incredibly 80s), and The Astonishing (John Petrucci thought he could write a 2h10m long sci-fi prog rock opera). That's not to say those aren't good albums, but they're not really representative of the band as a whole, whereas most of the others are, except maybe A Dramatic Turn of Events being specifically representative of a couple albums where Petrucci thought he was in a djent band but if I start talking about guitar tone now I'm not going to be able to stop  There used to be a decent flowchart for getting into Dream Theater. I'll see if I can find it and maybe update it for the last couple albums.
