I predict a massive increase in the number of "non profits" that will rent these out to other companies (with coincidentally very similar senior leadership) at cost. Sort of like how many businesses became "women owned" overnight when they pushed that BS.

That's terrible, think of the pavement.

He deserves real prison time, but probably not a lot. Maybe a year or two IMHO.

That's one thing I am very happy about with my backyard range. To call my backstop "adequate" is pretty funny LOL.

Honestly, bonds that are too high are a problem too. The only relevant questions when setting bond are "how likely is he to behave while waiting trial" and "how likely is he to show up". For a first offender, the "behave" question is likely to be simple. He's behaved for 30 years with one...

He screwed up, and should absolutely pay for it. But when people *intentionally* rape and murder and get far lesser punishments, it is an indictment of our entire justice system. And criticism of the bond amount is absolutely justified. The purpose of a bond is *only* to ensure you show back...

Not charging the felonies *is* the bad press. It's going take a lot of bad cops going to prison for a long time before they will regain the public trust. Trying to pretend the problems aren't as bad as they are fools nobody, and people just see it as evidence of further corruption. What we...

If you know any dairy farmers, you might hear them talk about bringing a bull in to service the cows. It's like that.

Worse than "exigent circumstances" abuse. They straight up violate the law, and just don't tell anyone about it. They have a concept called "parallel construction", where they will use illegal wiretapping to find out something, then they'll send a detective to find *admissible* evidence of...

The difference is Carter was a good man who didn't have what it takes to run a country. He was basically in over his head. Biden is a corrupt POS who's incompetence probably *saved* us from a far worse disaster.

Maybe ? Who knows these days.

I would not want to live in a country that hitched it's economy to China if the US decides to shut down their trade.

DC is a special case with SCOTUS. Everywhere else you have to work your way up through the circuits, but DC is the only place where SCOTUS has "original jurisdiction". Technically SCOTUS *could* hear any case between the federal government and a state government directly, in practice they...

Well, *everyone* has most of these "potential IED ingredients", or decent substitutes. I can guarantee someone could build a decent pipe bomb from stuff you have at home right now. So, law enforcement saying that makes him dangerous is a clown show. That's them openly admitting they have no...

As disappointing as all of that is, imagine what 2025 would have looked like under Harris.
