People clean with regular table salt “sodium chloride” but I swear by this sodium hydroxide stuff. Bonus points that my hands feel kinda smoother after using the stuff.

… in reference to the right to remain silent, that’s wrong. Miranda rights don’t cover double jeopardy so technically they aren’t exactly the same. But effectively they are.

Oh the outcry is international now? Surely this will put an end to all these issues.

Did you read the same comment as me? I read that as “why would the powers that be wilfully give up the path to that power?”

They’re not saying “obey”. They’re saying this shouldn’t be a surprise.

Bad move. Your right to remain silent doesn’t mean you get to pick and choose which questions you answer on the stand should you choose to testify. Instead he could give plenty of information to his lawyer who could then rabidly attack the planted gun and prove malfeasance.

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.

What’s that saying for social media? If it’s free, you are the product? Qatar gonna get so much intelligence from the bugs they plant all over.

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.

Based Onion calling trump on his bullshit before he can publicly declare it. Now if he does, he’d be mocked for bringing The Onion to life.

They don’t think that far ahead. They lack the fundamental ability to even comprehend those consequences. They only care about immediate results. Whatever is needed to justify those results will be used, even if it directly contradicts previous actions or positions.
