  1. You have to admire that he spent his entire adult career building his insanity plea That's hardcore foresight

  2. Colorado Court: "A Traitor to the Constitution who was once honored with the highest office in the land and betrayed it cannot do it again. Why do you all find this so hard?" Well, at least ONE Supreme Court has enough sense to stop playing the 'it's unprecedented' game anymore.

  3.  @lemonpics24  I got a gun pointed at my car on the freeway outside San Antonio for having plastic Longhorns duct-taped to the hood of my '88 VW Scirocco when I was stationed at Ft Sam. Well, *I* thought it was funny...homeboy in a stepside Chevy apparently did not.

  4. Now the real question is how many of the serial abusers are getting off light because nobody is asking how many victims simply....disappeared. Or turned up in the morgue.

  5. When I was a fed employee, they don't pay overtime. We get "comp time", which means they just owe us hours back as vacation or...more likely, it will expire before you can use it because you're slammed with work, or you donate it to another fed employee because they got sick or injured. I make x2 overtime in the private sector. It's a myth that fed GS/WG pay scales higher than private.

  8. Not only can NCOs take the heat round for YOUR dereliction, but they are often SACRIFICED to save the offending officers career, by the prosecuting authority. This is not official, naturally, but officers protect other officers, even when punishing them. It's the nature of the Officer vs Meatball relationship. The Abu Ghraib prison scandal is a classic example, where they tried lining up and focus fire on the enlisted first. I've seen this scenario play out again and again in my time around Field Grade and General Officer circles. Let's just say...I saw some real s**t in my 24 years in boots that would boggle your mind and DEFINITELY never made the news.

  10. Too high brow. This case is more about the precedent set in I Know You Are v What Am I, the landmark ruling upheld after I Am Rubber v You Are Glue

  11. And this is why we're both a Constitutional Republic AND a Representative Democracy. The kneejerk, populist actions of 1 generation cannot be allowed to wreck the struggles and achievements of the past ones nor take away the bedrock of future generations. Which is why we proved in 1865 secession and balkanization isn't a thing we do.

  17.  @spookerredmenace3950  We have 5 states that vote by mail as a standard. The ballots are serial numbered, you sign them, and you can look yours up online to verify it was counted properly. You also get a couple weeks to sit and have a good, hard think about what you vote for. And research that local state representative you never heard of running unopposed. We do not have fraud issues. If anything, it's an anti-fraud measure. If someone stole your ballot and voted in your name, you would be able to find out online when you realize it didn't arrive on time, and call the cops. Because yes, that's a crime. It also prevents voter suppression.

  18. You should be worried when The Next Inevitable Thing Happens: The little green men are going to kill someone. On the street, in front of the world. The whole thing which started this in the first place. They almost did it once already. It will involve every "I felt threatened, they shouldn't have been there in the first place" excuse that can be fast-balled at the media But in the end, they WANT this. They want it all to ratchet up. The want the fires higher so they can escalate further. They are hunting for enough bedlam to drop Red Martial Law on a Blue State.

  19. The CONSTITUTION says no Immunity. End of discussion. From Article 1, Section 3, Clause 7: Impeachment shall not extend further than to removal from Office, and disqualification to hold and enjoy any Office of honor, Trust or Profit under the United States: but the Party shall nevertheless be liable and subject to Indictment, Trial, Judgment and Punishment, according to Law

  25.  @LordHeadcheez  I agree, he was the last ACTUAL Republican, which was the moderate marriage with the little left of Lincoln's legacy, and the little Right of Teddy Roosevelt. It was a big tent that could piss off everyone and satisfy no one, and somehow keep the peace because we could understand the compromises. And that died with Eisenhower, as you said. His own VP, Nixon, was the harbinger of this doom. Swiftly followed by Goldwater and the Southern Strategy

  26. And put Free Speech for sale to the highest bidder, and you and I can't afford it. There is no Free Speech here. Just megaphones with pricetags.

  27.  @UpYourArsenal  It says according to Law as the qualifier. Not 'according to impeachment', which the Republican Senate already punted and said indictment gets done in the courts, which is why it even opens with 'shall not extend further' part. So clearly, Shakespeare, I ain't the one failing at English comprehension here. Want a crayon?

  28. @ That's been a pretty thin right of late anways. 2 parties who both represent the Silver and Gold medal teams control what goes on that ballot, and those ballots only show up about every 2 to 4 years. Meanwhile, the largest voting bloc, Independents, has maybe 3 out of 535 seats in Congress. For 47% of the voters who are in neither, they get a ballot that is written by those parties. Taxation without representation, indeed

  29.  @BigBing1987  Your rights don't start or stop because you spent money at the DMV for a picture ID. If you were so worried about it, why do conservatives like you throw such a fit about a free Federal Photo ID replacing the Social Security Card? Oh yeah, that's right. Because you do a 180 degree about face and claim it's ThE gOVeRNmeNt TRacKiNg yoU!

  35.  @robertsmithUH60driver  My BC. Relieved for about 13 whole days, during which time the XO thought he had just become King and lost his mind. Then the Division and Brigade commander & JAG staff sacked his CSM, a Battle Captain, and Ops SGM, and he came right back. The words Courts Martial were never once uttered about the BC despite him being the host of the 'Good Idea Fairy'. This was in JBB (Edit: Anaconda, as a BlackHawk boss I'm sure you've probably visited it), Iraq and involved a KIA and a WIA in a Convoy Escort Team who were sent on some side shenanigans from the TOC. I don't even recall a letter of reprimand ending up in his jacket, in fact I saw him make full bird (promoted up and away from a guide on maybe?) the year after refrad.

  36.  @nicholasmckenzie7403  yes, but with different verbiage. DD 256A, and it's formally called dismissal. But even the manual calls it being discharged honorably. Discharge is more a semi-formal term of art as meant to describe the character of the separation. I'm given to undestand by my Admin NCO battle buddy that Op is right, technically there is no Dishonorable Officer Discharge unless they did something naughty in the latrine. They can simply be forced out by direction of dismissal for reasons both good and bad. Lost a leg, aged out gracefully after a lifetime of service, said the wrong thing on the Evening News, couldn't keep his dirty hands off his SPC-4 admin assistant, got passed over too many times, some Field Grade officer didn't like his face, lost a plane because he zigged when he shoulda zagged, etc. etc.

  38. It's crazytown trying to dispell this myth of Federal employees being some kind of lazy freeloaders with ultimate job security or that there's no Oversight, when 50% of our time was spent beancounting. They've NO idea about life in the Hamster Wheel, or why I got out of a 'cushy fed job' because life was sloppier, lazier and paid better in the Private sector for the same gig. Benefits may vary.

  39. Just your daily reminder concerning the documents case: His 3 oldest are the grandkids of a Czech KGB informant And he forced the government to give some of them security clearance they disqualified for

  40. The funniest thing: the term Dungeon Master might end up walking out of a courtroom with some standing in the legal lexicon as creators here, because decades of Dungeon Master Guides have always, ALWAYS, explicitly endorsed custom campaign creation. Can't give that implicit permission, stated in plain english, edition after edition, and then try to fool a crowd of rules-lawyer-nerd customers.

  41.  @spookerredmenace3950  The 5 All-Mail election states are nearly evenly split. 3 liberal, 2 conservative. It's not really a partisan issue unless your party's state office is trying to get press attention and gaslight everyone because they routinely suck at winning elections. A solution in search of a problem.

  42. Just think about it like this: It's not HIS half billion dollars. It's half a billion stolen by fraud from others.

  43. I learned that they lie in groups, and get the DA to lie with them, when one committed hit and run against my son's car while off duty and leaving a bar.

  44. This is why Congress, who sets their own rules, should be compelled by legislation to swear in before setting foot on the floor or in committee chambers to bear truth faith under penalty of perjury, barring classified info. Consequences to be enforced by the SGT At Arms and the Congressional Jail (which needs to be built up into a real thing) and a 3 Strikes and You're Out rule.

  46.  @sharper68  Too simplistic. I'm simply saying that if you're a serial killer, you shouldn't laugh and say 'well played, sir, please proceed' when another serial killer jumps you. We're not playing Checkers, here.
