Amazing how two words just completes the headline.

Thanks for the extra info. So not chalking it up to “failure” in such a short time should maybe be chalked up to failure in such a “short time”.

Reminds me of times during the height of covid when the antivax nutter I know on Facebook would rant about some article showing “the vax not working” or whatever bullshit. His propaganda outlets of choice would seemingly sift through monthly data by country and if one country failed to report one period or reported two periods in one they’d cry foul and point to just those numbers.

when the general populace voted for an continue to support this

Did they though? Only 63.4% of voting eligible citizens voted in '24. And of those only 49.8% voted for trump. He has never won a majority of the popular vote. Ever. It’s due to the electoral college and the cap on representatives in the house. This gives a significant advantage to lower population states that typically lean republican. Those rules seemed to make sense before we could reasonably collect, count results, and communicate that info in a day. Those rules no longer make sense but as it benefits the republicans they will hold that hill until they die. This country would be shaped very differently if we used the popular vote.

I’d be interested in more long term effects. Are these increased police killings actually getting to people that might have murdered in the future? If that was the goal I’d have predicted an increase in police killings like this is showing. Then both numbers would start to drop at a rate faster than they had been.

Not that I’m condoning the practice, I just wouldn’t chalk it up to a “failure” after such a short time.

I think it’d be a good thing. I can’t imagine a world where social media companies comply. They’d just block it in that state. The uproar and backlash would be immediate. It would likely be political suicide for anyone supporting it.

Phrasing!

Look man. If my favorite football team sucks and makes shitty deals for players and has a losing record, I’m still going over the top saying they’re gonna beat our main rivals and are the best ever. Hell I don’t even need to understand why they suck or what they could even do to get better. They’re my team! I can’t let you talk shit about them.

And if they located him via illegal means, none of that is admissable…

Devil’s advocate and IANAL, but illegally obtained evidence can still be admitted so long as at some point there was a legal means to obtain it. I’m sure there’s a ton of nuance that goes into the specifics and especially regarding this case, but it’s not like that stuff is completely tossed out of it was found illegally.

He won a plurality of the popular vote. I said he never won a majority.

He won a plurality of the popular vote. I said he never won a majority.

In fact, Trump has NEVER won a majority of the popular vote.

I need to see this play out like a heist movie. Two opposing advisors are battling each other to get their idea in his head for the big speech. They get into some zany hijinks trying to be the last to speak to him. Some real spy vs spy stuff.

Ever see a really well trained dog where all you have to do is tap the spot beside you and they bound over to you and dutifully sit in that spot?

Their constitution starts and ends at 2.

Homophobic? I thought she was just anti-trans.

Either way, I’m very curious how the LGBT community views a wholly trans-phobic shit stain that simultaneously claims to support the gay community. I know just such a person and would like some insight from the community itself.

I love seeing all the tacticool “operators” with their tricked out ARs, bulletproof vests and helmets, flexicuffs, and other shit but look like they get gassed slowly ascending the stairs from their mother’s basement. Rule #1 in the zombie apocalypse is Cardio.

Also society isn’t going to collapse overnight. If it does it will be a slow crawl until going full Gravy Seal is warranted. They need to survive until then.

Is the most important test the test takers will take. For the test givers, it was Tuesday.

Hey Google. How do you short trump’s meme coin?

Pretty sure you have to prove actual damages. The town drunk going off on one of their typical rants that won’t convince anyone wouldn’t be considered defamatory.

Except the point is that if you say you would eat ice cream, you don’t get the ice cream. Legally speaking as a juror you are supposed to uphold the law. If the judge or prosecutor has any inkling you might nullify, they’ll boot your ass out of the pool in a hurry.
