I wonder what real federal crimes were committed in the process of this that Trump's DOJ could prosecute people for.
When you uncover fraud, you don't just eliminate it, you need to prosecute it.
We're all trapped on this planet so far.
Does the logic change when the city gets big, if it also gets crowded ?
Technology is making it small. Look at the urge to get away. Half the people on this board just want to get away from other people and live a quiet life left alone. But that's...
Need doesn't enter into it. It's coming whether you like it or not.
The alternative to war isn't peace. It's slavery.
And religion is just the excuse. Wars aren't fought over religion. They're fought over control of people and resources. Religion is just the tool used to exercise that...
"...attacked a local man with a machete in a previous attack".
The blood of this father is on the hands of the people who let this psycho back out after the first attack.
We all know that in the past people would have gotten a pass on many of those crimes if they involved the right speech.
This is un-doing that.
Threats *should* be punished. You *shouldn't ever* have gotten a pass because you were burning a flag instead of a cross.
It has been fashionable on...
What did the EO actually say ?
I'm not going to get wound up about what the media claims it says.
A quick skim of the actual order doesn't seem to be anywhere near what the media claim it is.
It acknowledges that on it's own burning a flag is a protected activity. But when conducted as part...
There should just be one season. The whole (and only valid) reason for seasons for hunting is to manage the harvest and thus the population.
The deer population isn't affected one iota by the method used to harvest a deer. The population dynamics are identical if you have to jump on it's...
The first step is recognizing that not all of the letters of the alphabet are valid genders.
In fact, LGB aren't genders at all, and nobody claims they are. They are sexual orientations. Nearly everyone agrees that Lesbians are women. Being a woman is a necessity criteria to be a lesbian...
It *will* be cheaper to make things in the US after this.
Cheaper than it used to be to make them in the US anyway.
Economies of scale and all, the more stuff we make here, the cheaper it is to make stuff here.
Maybe not quite as cheap as it is to make them in China.
But, the whole point of...
If he wanted to really protect them, he would take the fact that gun ownership is a federally protected civil right serioualy and have the DOJ prosecute *any* state or local officials who violate it.
There's even a special federal statute to use when that is done "under color of law".
Don't...
So, only a jury of your peers gets to decide, and only after all due process for a criminal conviction.
That's about the only thing I would accept.
And even then, only for the duration of your incarceration.
The process is the punishment.
That's why anyone who isn't convicted of every charge they are indicted for should be compensated for their time dealing with every acquittal or plea bargain.

The temporary wound cavity from a .50 will be much larger than most common bullets.
We're talking a bullet with the mass of a 12ga slug moving at the velocity of a .223 round.
If the temporary wound cavity exceeds the cross section of the area of the body they are hit in, then the result is...
Talking *to* imaginary friends is probably OK.
It's hearing voices telling you to do things that gets problematic.
That works with or without a deity involved.
To be fair, those facilities were horrible pretty much everywhere. They probably did all need to be closed.
But that doesn't mean you don't still need facilities to do the work.
Like when a small town police force all gets arrested on federal corruption charges. They all needed go, but that...
No, an overreaction *isn't* better than complacency.
Both are bad, but the overreaction is objectively worse.
Complacency could lead to a slightly increased risk of a criminal victimizing a citizen.
But overreaction leads to a 100% chance of the government doing it.
And government...
I absolutely think the west is behind this.
But at the same time, Putin is the one that ordered the invasion.
He is 100% responsible for every death.
That doesn't mean that the Biden administration isn't *also* significantly responsible.
Responsibility doesn't typically add up to 100%. If 5...
Why do you think they are right ?
I don't trust our government or the media as far as I could throw them. But based on the few facts that nobody disputes, clearly Russia is the aggressor in this situation.
And before you drag out any "that's not how the Russians see it" argument, why does...
Could be a case of "a leopard can't change it's spots".
The one thing that has always been a constant in their culture is a devotion to order and authority.
That's probably enough.
And except for the military, almost all government services are provided locally.
So, why do we ship most of our tax money off to DC, just so they can lose most of it and return a little bit back to the local government to do all the government stuff ?
The same reason the NRA never stops gun control.
The same reason they didn't supply enough arms to Ukraine for them to win.
Because the battles aren't meant to be won. They're meant to be continuous.
If politicians ever actually solved these problems, they would lose their excuse to grab...
The rot starts in the legislature for sure.
But in all the worst jurisdictions there are prosecutors who refuse to even charge the real crime if the perpetrators belong to a "marginalized minority". They completely ignore the fact that the victims are most likely the same minority, and...
In general it is.
Unless it's someone else's flag, then it's arson.
Or if it's being done in a public place where open fires are prohibited. Then it's basically an illegal camp fire.
They're not going to let you roast marshmallows on the national mall, they don't need to let you burn flags...
We donated guns to them in WWII in case they had to fight the fascists as a resistance movement.
Then they turned them into the government when the war war over, and then invited the fascists right in and voted them into office.
Nah, i'm with you. Fuck 'em this time. At least until they sort...
I'm not sure they actually ruled on that.
Appealate Judges tend to like to kick a case back with the least controversial ruling they can get away with that gets it out of their court.
I think giving him 4 years off to regroup was their biggest mistake.
If he had 8 in a row I don't think he would have been able to do what he is now.
He needed the reboot to clean house.
My take on the weaponization is that they should probably all be in prison, and the problem is that people look the other way until you're out of favor.
SCOTUS says they're not a judge, then they're not a judge anymore. It's that simple. There isn't even an appeal they can make. Who would they appeal a SCOTUS decision to ?
If they try to continue to show up and make rulings, then their rulings don't have any more force than some guy in a...
They have what they need for enforcement.
They just lack the will to use it.
SCOTUS has the power to remove any of these activist judges from office anytime they want.
They simply need to declare these ridiculous rulings "bad behavior" and they are gone.
