This case is the poster child for standardized sentencing. Judges should not have the power to nullify a jury conviction with a wrist slap.
He wants to be crowned emperor before he dies. It's that simple.
Ok what now. I just get back from a day trip and people talking like Trump is dead. Our news media doesn't obsess over mango Mussolini so can someone explain where this rumor came from.
The beauty of this is it's still a jury trial and they can nullify.
Incorrect. Israel is a parliamentarian government system. The populace has multiple easy ways to remove its government. They don't want to. They approve of what Netanyahunis doing. They just don't like that he's doing it in the open and making them look bad for supporting it.
The money already got sent to Trump's cronies, the grift served its purpose. Now they can use it, let it be forgotten, and walk away with all the money without a single question being asked.
This nightmare shit is not going away, it’s going to get WORSE. We are going to have to grapple with the fact that underneath mainstream political divisiveness there are young people online radicalizing themselves into ideologies with no motive beyond violent accelerationism.
Tom Nichols is doing everything in his power to keep Trump in office while pretending to do everything in his power to get Trump out of office. He wants the autocracy Trump is building for the conservative movement, just with the rotting corpse of Ronald Reagan in charge of it.
I can't believe it took me this long to unfollow Tom Nichols. Dude has completely lost his mind and retreated into his own deluded concept of the world.
If they set foot in your state, arrest them for impersonating law enforcement officers. If they arrive armed, nail them on weapons charges. They have no legal authority to enforce law across state lines.
The simplest solution is to arrest invading guardsmen for impersonating police officers, and anyone that comes in armed gets hit with weapons charges. 100% legal and tailor made to force court action that will shut down the entire scheme.
1 beyond doubt.
They're going to force me to buy a switch2 for legends ZA and the new battling game, but the jokes on the , that's ALL I okay on switch. Just pokemon.
IMO a massive self own. The pics of u informed armed soldiers patrolling residential streets will send a message that not even the head-buried ostriches can deny.
Uniformed soldiers carrying guns does not send the message "this city is safer." It sends the message "papers please."
Think of the optics. Soldiers with guns roaming the streets of the capital. This will NOT send the message that Trump believes that it will. It's an incredibly crippling self-own. Trump's narcissistic need for control and attention is going to be his own downfall.
But did you do it in self defense?
The en banc will give them ultimate sads.
The jury nullification will be a pita for the DoJ.
As the creator of the greatest YouTube series of guides ever made, you deserve 100 million followers.
I may not like Newsoms naked ambition, but I have to admit, he knows how to enrage narcissists.
I will celebrate your bankrupty, Politico. Make no mistake, it is coming. You have hitched your wagon to a rabid wolverine, and as soon as it gnaws its way through the harness, it will come for you.
Counterpoint: any SCOTUS capable of handing kingly powers to a demented dictator is, in fact, capable of overturning Obergefell no matter how flimsy and unjustified the case is. Stop assuming the use of logic by crazy people.
As the son of a career civil servant, let me assure you that the federal agents being forced to do this are absolutely boiling with unfettered rage over this. Being publicly humiliated like (by being forced to perform like costumed monkeys) this is not something they will forget. Ever.
Judaism doesn't have a hell. They do, however, believe that God will destroy the souls of the irredeemable, opting to complete destruction, annihilation, over an eternity of torment. So, let's just say that there's gonna be a whole lot of empty chairs in Israeli Valhalla in the afterlife.
I bought that software. I had a license to use it. And yet they summarily locked me out of it, citing a ToS I never agreed to because it's the ToS for MODERN Office software. I even consulted a lawyer about it. His advice? "Drop this. Use Libre Office." So now I do.
Last month MS locked the Office Education suite I bought back in 2007 and still use, back when you DID outright buy products, because I used my license to transfer the suite to a new laptop. They locked me out after I used it for nearly a year and wouldn't unlock it til I logged into an MS account.
This mentality isn't limited to Tesla. Microsoft, Adobe, & gaming companies are also doing this ****. Nintendo can brick your Switch2 at any time for any reason and the ToS specifically says you can't sue them if they do. Microsoft and Adobe don't let you BUY their products. It's all licensed use.
This is the same mentality in the gaming industry. You don't own what you buy. Youre given a license to use THEIR property. Because make no mistakes, if Tesla can shut down your car at any time, for any reason, you don't own that car. THEY do. Youre just renting the privilege to use it.
lol doubtful. I'll bet he was fired because he said he couldn't do something. Not because he didn't want to, but he didn't know how. And he got fired for using the only N word Trump hates.
ShB was probably my favorite expansion. Enjoy the journey.
My cat does the same thing. He pushes under the covers and rests his forehead up under my chin and stays that way. Only under my chin. I haven't quite figured out why the distinction.
Actually, I think it's more of him saying "I can't do that." Instant axe.
incoming criminal charges for the creators.
That's the plan. RFK is a eugenecist. He wants the weak to die. Literally. In his eyes the weak have no right to live and anything that keeps them from dying is wrong.
Eugenecists like him want the weak to die, and see vaccines as protecting the weak from their rightful death. Unfortunately, his viewpoint is shared by many of the rich, who believe themselves to be genetically superior to the rest of humanity. Just look at Musk. Seriously.
I'm certainly rooting for the buffalo. IMO, anyone who kills for pleasure, no matter WHAT they kill, is a sick bastard that shouldn't be allowed in civilized society
I just feel sorry for the movie actors who signed on before Rowling revealed her bigotry. Maggie Smith was so incredible in that role, and now her legacy will carry the taint of association.
Here in Japan, the airspace over your house is considered your private property and flying a drone into it without permission can get the drone flyer charged with trespassing. I'm not sure how the law works in America, but if it doesn't work like that for you, you better push for some law changes.
This is monumentally stupid. Monumentally.
Orgulho de ser Brasiliano.
They haven't done it because they know it will fail. State courts aren't nearly as dominated by the trumpinistas as the state Congress, and one judge can shut down the entire special session if they try to open a session without a quorum.
King udon.
That's not a deal breaker. Hate is far more of a motivation than morals. Trump hates. His fans LOVE that he hates, because they hate too. Shared hate >>>>>> shared morality.
ok, I just woke up. Someone explain what's going on.
This is the perfect political cartoon. Perfect.
Also known as GREED.
He's an airline pilot now and lives in Britain. He left the US when Trump was elected. So did my father, a 31 year career State employee. My parents moved to my mother's homeland, Brazil.
Bro is a retired Navy pilot (cargo, not fighter), so he rubbed elbows with the top brass from time to time. After his fifth year, he just kept his head down, served his other 15 for the benefits flying cargo planes, and never advanced his career. He didn't want to become part of that system.
you mean 750,000 BILLION jobs.
Globally. American companies are not the only ones that use these data.
Greenblatt is a Netanyahu lackey. He turned what was once a respected and effective civil rights organization into a government propaganda arm. He is what he decries against.
Take solace in the fact that many companies whose execs support Tangerine Taco rely on that information and will get absolutely BURNED by this.
Most officers are ultra-conservative white men who came up in a system that reinforced the beliefs of ultra-conservative white men. The Air Force especially is absolutely infested with Trump maggots.
Because many in the military are on his side. My bro is retired Navy and he's not white, so he has stories. Lots of them.
On the bright side, a lot of big businesses that support Mango Mussolini rely on this information and they're going to get BURNED by this.
It's not a ball room. It's a throne room.
Back when I taught HS English in America, I had a student take 3 pages in his report about A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court to rail about how Hank Morgan being hit in the head couldn't possibly result in time travel. He even brought up Doctor Who. I was not generous with the grading.
Light. Everyone needs to light up the keyhole on the front door after dark.
Hope you Americans enjoy paying a LOT more for your coffee.
Uptown Girl.
And on this side of things, Toyota is about to shut down all US production so they can export cars into the US to get around the tariffs imposed on Canada/Mexico border crossing. That's thousands of American jobs about to go poof.
Billionaires don't care about integrity. It's how they became billionaires.
Remember how the Great Depression started. We're seeing all the same warning signs now.
Sadly Visa and MC have too much of a stranglehold on Congress through their bribes--"political donations" for PIX to be implemented there. It'd take big pressure from citizens AND a giant scandal to change things, so everyone needs to keep howling about what they're doing. MAKE it a giant scandal.
Our car companies have extensive manufacturing facilities elsewhere and can simply shift production to avoid tariffs. American companies do not.
We did win. Look at the tariffs US car companies will have to pay for raw materials like steel and copper. 50% tariffs. And then there's parts crossing Canada/Mexico borders. 25-50%. Our car companies pay flat 15%. American made cars will be far more expensive once all is said and done.

Well, now we know why she was buried on a golf course.
And since I'm a graduate of the University of Virginia, that includes my own alma mater.
Nobody should consider any institute of higher learning in a red state to be worth the paper in their printers. They actively suppress intellectual expression and the exchange of ideas. Anyone serious about their education should stick exclusively to those in blue states.
I'd bet that someone in the FBI has dumped to the press all the evidence he fears Bondi will try to have disappeared, and said press is just holding onto it to use both strategically and tactically in the future.
Vance may scare you, but remember that no one but Trump can do what Trump does. He gets away with what he does because he's a master of diversion and intimidation. The moment Vance tries to be a dictator, he'll get smacked down in a hurry. Vance is too much of a dough boy to scare anyone.
Hey NY Times Pitchbot, I think someone's been ripping off your posts
This will get dropped by the plaintiffs the absolute instant the judge says the word "discovery."
Sis is a nurse. She's told me she expects him to be dead within a year. Specifically, she thinks his kidneys are about gone and heavily suspects he's diabetic. And since it appears he doesn't manage it, it's going to wreck him physically very fast.
The world won't notice if CBS folded completely. It will definitely notice when Colbert is gone.
He probably confuses it with smegma.
His kidneys are circling the drain. And his narcissism won't let him admit to weakness and seek treatment, so he'll kill himself with his pride within the year.
Yeah, take heart in that the condition they're admitting he has is cover for the REAL medical conditions that they're covering up. From what my nurse sister tells me, he'll be dead by this time next year. His kidneys are going, and soon they'll be hiding his dialysis treatments.
👍
It has been a police state since the mid 60s. It's only now they're not pretending it's not.
Back in the day my go-to was Pork flavor ramen noodles with sliced pieces of Vienna sausage in it for extra protein and flavor. It was surprisingly good. I'd still make it now, but I'm married now and my wife would see me doing something like that with ramen noodles as borderline sacrelige.
Amen. I can't count how many times I've been called antisemitic when my major issues are with Israel's current hardline government and particularly Netanyahu. It's the genocidal policies of madmen who hide behind their religion like cowards when called out with whom I have issue.
I love how they've turned on him because the director correctly portrayed him as an illegal immigrant.
He can't distract from this, because it's one of the alt-right's favorite topics. He's about to find out that MAGA cares more about Epstein than they do him, because it represents the entire Deep State conspiracy theory that drives them.
trigger alert.
lol, this says far more about twitter than it does about Grok.
My dad was career State. 31 years. Posted to six countries, learned to speak four other languages in service to his country over the course of his career. He didn't get fired, though. He put in for retirement the week after the election. He lives in Brazil now. He left the US over Trump.
My dad was one of them, sorta. He wasn't fire, he retired. Career State. 31 years. Posted to six different countries during his career. Loved his job. He put in for retirement the week after Election day. He now lives in Brazil with my mom. They LEFT THE COUNTRY rather than live under Trump.
Jack and Diane by John Cougar. I thank God every moment that I know live in another country and will NEVER hear that song pop up on the radio.
Yeah, the guy that tried to crawl up the uterus of every woman in Texas now wants "privacy." Someone needs to post the video of his last colonoscopy.
I'm thinking the affair partner may be more than a little bit..."young."
Trump just made a huuuuuge mistake. Brazil won't put up with him using tariffs to strongarm them into not prosecuting Bolsanaro. The US has a trade SURPLUS with Brazil. Expect that to vanish. Quickly.
I always saw him as the Onion of Tim Pools.
I can see disbarment hearings on the horizon.
So, I wake up, and what news awaits me. More tariffs on Japan. lol. This country is SO done with the Mango Menace. If you're an American, I suggest NOT coming here on vacation anytime soon. Your reception will be...cold.
Given the vast majority of welfare recipients are rural whites, I believe we've found where he can look when it comes time to crew the plantations. Cause it's all about no free rides and making them work for it, right? Right?
Pray that my wife never finds out about this, because I like life and the woman may appreciate not having her life destroyed by someone with no mercy.
