  1.  @Eudaletism  no tresspassing near railroad tracks is an even older holdover from the days when unionist strikers would rip up railroad tracks and block trains to coal mines
    362
  2. I absolutely love how when asked about mara-largo he basically described hypothetically committing another fraud when on trial for committing fraud
    297
  3. "No taxation without representation!" Supreme Court to territorial citizens: well actually...
    94
  4. totally believable, the system is incapable of dealing with malicious actors, it still gives deference to people out of fear of being too heavy handed
    26
  5. ah but see batman updated the terms of service allowing him 100% access to their phones
    19
  6. "No one will be above the law." Man that statement didn't age well given how he constantly insists he is above the law
    18
  7. she's absolutely pushing ethics codes to the limit by continually insisting trump is an extra special boy
    15
  8. imagine if he had gotten the judge he wanted, this thing would still be ongoing
    9
  9.  @SkiDaBird  ya they say that they should seek legislative remedy while also reminding them that they're 2nd class citizens with no legislative remedy.
    9
  10.  @QuestionEverything-qp6kw  unfortunately with the clock being only 4 years, the limited time for a person installed temporarily should be days, if not only a handful of weeks not the 24-48 months that they can pull with the current 'rules'
    8
  11. sadly these days there's more than a few lawyers out there being completely dishonest and dragging down their whole profession

  12. omg their new theory is that church and state should in fact not be seperated, and the state should be melded by the chuch, also apparently its put forth by "young conservatives" who happen to be all in their 60s
    5
  13. or going looking for corn in Iowa
    4
  14. this is a disgusting opinion where the justices will be remembered as being partisan actors
    3
  15. I never get that too, like mcdonalds manufactures 'fries' in the US, but in the EU they just use potatoes and salt... why can't we get that!
    3
  16. its weird they would even be able to make such a claim because usually the owner of the media said character appears in first are the ones who have claim over that character. Idk what agreement they had with the studio at the time but the studio almost certainly would own the right to the character being that they own the movie and the rights to all the characters in the story portrayed there. This seems like a bit of a side hustle that the studios haven't needed to stop bc they're not the ones getting sued

  17. given the way textbooks are written in this country, there'll be 20 chapters on hillary clinton, and 1 small footnote about trump's impeachment
    3
  18. I really think the courts have maybe gone a bit absurd with the notion that political speech is somehow more protected than regular speech. I understand the need, a lot of authoritarians shutdown opponents using speech restrictions, but its like, racist guy says racist things to incite violence, isn't protected, racist guy suddenly runs for office, suddenly its all just politics, he's not literally calling for people to be exterminated, even when he says he is literally calling for people to be exterminated

  19.  @zachrodan7543  does unwind a lot of his executive privilage drama
    3
  20. it was a bold strategy to not raise a defense at trial, didn't seem to pay off though
    3
  21. 16:00 Wait so he's using the Enron system of future profits to valuate realestate holdings
    2
  22. I really feel like what trump and his campaign were attempting to do smacks of being RICO
    2
  23. Can we stop for a moment and appreciate John Soloman was the reason why Trump did the things that got him impeached, and he hires him only to mishandle a really damaging letter as well.
    2
  24. shell companies and corporate persons as a whole were a mistake and the judges and lawmakers that insist they are actual persons are insane because you cannot physically punish a corporation
    2
  25. I'm starting to think a loyalty pledge to the GOP is part of the Federalist Society's criteria to be put on their approval list. No republican appointed judge has been put on the bench in the last 40 years without their approval and that's scary
    2
  26. My dad used to drive everywhere with a detector, never understood that since by the time its beeping, you've already been scanned, and those don't detect lasers or other non radar guns
    2
  27. In britain, their constitution doesn't say anything, because they don't have one, instead its just an endless series of laws
    2
  28. one head speaks only lies, one head only speaks the truth
    2
  29. this seems to be the best use of tax dollars from what I've seen. Stopping a fraud, pissing him off in the process.
    2
  30. sadly unlike anyone else in the country he will get a slap on the wrist 'because we can't prosecute presidents, former or otherwise'
    1
  31. I swear every hollywood and modern lawyer tv show uses the same 5 office sets including the same corner office
    1
  32. and then the court decided the thousands of complaints were improper and will not consider any further complaints at this time
    1
  33. yes I have waited for this for a long time, glad you found an episode that actually had enough court to analyze
    1
  34. funny enough the judge CAN declare him guilty when you don't bother to show up to your multi billion dollar civil laswuit
    1
  35. well at least alex jones can sleep soundly knowing its only technically illegal to lie to congress because the court isn't going to do anything
    1
  36. using the WTO and these supernational treaties to overturn smoking bans is just about one of the more horrible things you can do for the world
    1
  37. Trump "I want a special master" FBI "it was 15 boxes of documents, we finished searching it 4 days ago like we already told you." Trump "I still want a special master!" FBI "We already know everything we're allowed to know"
    1
  38. can't wait till that gets illegalized and goes back to the court and they mysteriously decide freedom of movement, interstate commerce, and privacy are not in the constitution either...somehow
    1
  39. shockingly cheap to buy a scotus justice
    1
  40. Unitary Executive Theory AKA The President is actually a dictator. this is also why it should be laid out by statute that the president CAN be prosecuted for criminal behavior by the department of justice, because currently its only by opinion of Richard Nixon's own DOJ that prevents such a thing happening
    1
  41. "skillshare doesn't violate the rico statute" oh please, we all know their prices are criminally cheap and that they have a pattern of doing so, and are an enterprise
    1
  42. she specifically only quotes the one sentence in Nixon vs GSA that hints at privilaged presidential records but again those have been by statute made government property after that ruling!
    1
  43. roberts should resign right now and let a democrat president appoint the chief justice if he truely believes there's no democrat/republican justices, and that the court should be above the political marass, otherwise he's just acting as partisan as his fellow conservative justices.
    1
  44. this hit so hard, that lady sounded exactly like my grandmother
    1
  45. Short answer: No, because they had direct knowledge as stated by the IG, not that it was even necessary to begin with. (I know your video probably was made before that correction)
    1
  46. you had fun with this intro, admit it!
    1
  47. I think its implied that the lyrics are exactly the same which is a copyright issue as lyrics are also protected by copyright
    1
  48. ya you have at least 3 justices that don't seem to know whats in the constitution, because their opinion rests on not finding the word privacy in a document that has at least 6 amendments regarding the right to some kind of privacy from government intervention
    1
  49. protect the rich, eat the poor. the system works again.
    1
  50. this is what happens when you compare everything remotely leftist to communism, enough people believe it that you can't even save them from themselves without being Stalin
    1
  51. the legality of voting twice is that it is completely illegal, and one would with any other president point out that north carolina had the largest case of voting fraud committed in recent memory, by a republican paid consultant, just 2 years ago.
    1
  52. its all coincidence because you can't charge the president with conspiracy, because you can't apparently charge the president with any crimes at all, because the president's appointed AG said so.
    1
  53. In north korea you can only have the Kim (or Kimmette)
    1
  54. Now I'm not sure its legal TODAY but there was a road legal rocket engine you could mount to your car, that didn't modify the engine or engine exhaust in any way, though it was the mid 1960s so no real emissions laws back then either
    1
  55. I do believe trump probably doesn't remember this woman, but that's because he probably doesn't remember anyone who isn't useful to him
    1
  56. gee its almost like running the government through an unofficial, non government controlled social media platform was as legally dubious as it was operationally dubious
    1
  57. these movies do to reality the same thing Atlas Shrugged does, where they bend it inconciebably impossible ways just to make things fit the narrative. As Rand once said, Words mean what she says they mean when she says them.
    1
  58. This is a crisis that requires a modicum of self sacrifice and thinking, so basically we're absolutely screwed.
    1
  59. I think the point of the bug is that they won't be able to prove it was from the defense which is kind of taken for granted whenever the bad guys bug someone
    1
  60. I argue its very easy to make the distinction between political action and bribery but then I think my determination wouldn't be too popular with the pro-CitizensUnited crowd
    1
  61.  @qualicumwilson5168  its 3/4ths of congress to remove a judge, impeachment is functionally impossible
    1
  62. tort reform always comes up as one of the go to blanket statements as to how to fix our healthcare system instead of actually fix our healthcare system
    1
  63. Good thing I always buy my titles from the perfectly above board King of Sealand
    1
  64. having specific jurisdictions where you can avoid SLAPP laws is a feature not a bug, he points out that neither him, nor bob murry have any business in west virginia yet he still can go there and sue him in that court because he has the resources to do so
    1
  65. as always whenever you point it out, I wish Trump was just an ordinary american citizen because endless scores of lawyers and judges seem to believe otherwise
    1
  66. ah but you see Trump believes he is still president and is just letting biden play president for the sake of the country, and will beat him in the next election, so therefore executive privilage applies in his mind, which has sparked a large amount of debate in the Heritage Foundation about the legality
    1
  67. I'm not the lawyer but I think planting evidence on someone in your board disciplinary hearing miiiiiiigggght be a bad strategy
    1
  68. tuesday was actually a day when people were most likely to be in town, also elections were basically holidays due to the logistics of having to have a lot of people show up in one place, all the issues with voter suppression and having elections on a work day are more modern
    1
  69. so glad you covered this odd decision
    1
  70. wait he's selling fouride-free toothpaste, what moron...oh ya
    1
  71. 10:50 presumably those happened already since everybody has had time to travel there by the time the trial started, though obviously trials take way longer to plan too
    1
  72.  @LeonMortgage  its cherrypicking historical texts to manufacture an opinion much like a 9th grader writes a paper by picking only the stuff that supports their thoughts. its intillectually dishonest. Even a cursory glance at Alito's arguments fall apart because abortion was generally NOT a crime until the mid 1800s, yet he claims our legal system and the english one its based on has never had broad legal abortion, HOW CAN THIS BE IF HE IS AN ORIGINALIST?
    1
  73. ya except we learned that "for cause" means "whatever I write on this paper here" when trump was in the WH
    1
  74. the sad part is that the GOP for worse has taken the Watergate scandal and the Nixon presidency as a warning for how to get caught instead of a warning to not do illegal shit in the whitehouse with the powers of the us government
    1
  75. contrary to the movie, the burgler would be potentially responsible for the damages as well as his own medical bills, and if another burgler was killed in the process, he could be charged with murder depending on the state (though that one is kind of bad)
    1
  76. ya some family member was saying trump has constitutional rights, i said not only that but the way people treat him he has extra special constitutional rights
    1
  77. Not a lawyer, obviously, but it seems like our justice system, especially our jury system is not capable of handling crimes on such a large scale that the victims are numbers on a spreadsheet instead of personal victims, even though these are still people getting hurt or killed.
    1
  78. I think maybe the funniest part of this is that for such a serious legal oversight by congress, and such a direct call out to congress to fix this issue, its seemingly been forgotten by congress (though for probably the reason that the senate doesn't want to touch with a democrat controlled house) Seemingly we'll get around to it only when another two or three nations sue using this case as standing
    1
  79. thanks to our modern society its really hard to actually bankrupt a rich person. Now bankrupting poor people, that's very very easy
    1
  80. Provided he didn't die, could beloc be charged with negligent homicide for all the nazis that got blown up when he opened the ark by accidentally triggering the wrath of god, kinda like if he caused an accident that lead to the loss of life?
    1
  81. jesus we just have a man who will "Make, them pay."
    1
  82. "The AG is not the president's lawyer." coulda fooled me.
    1
  83. to be fair, I'm not sure most of us could come up with a legal reason why we object to someone removing their limbs, only emotional reasons
    1
  84. designed to be non-partisan but trump got to appoint all the currently sitting seats, better remember that one when the democrats take control someday and the republicans submit their list of appointees to the list of "bipartisan" panels throughout the government
    1
  85. love how venue shopping is allowed by courts that are absolutely aware of it. Why hire good lawyers when you can hire a good judge. Ethics be damned
    1
  86. huh, Never knew Nitrous oxide is outright illegal in ohio because I've known a fair few people who've had it, and a few people in highschool died from a car blowing up because of a bottle in the trunk, then again there's only a handful of counties that have any sort of emission inspections
    1
  87. impeachment is a political process, congress can impeach him for eating a ham sandwich if they wanted and they can impeach him twice for that sandwich
    1
  88. lets not repeal the crime of jaywalking but lets update it to reflect modern parlance, call it Stupid-Walking and see how long it takes for people to get outraged enough to remove it altogether
    1
  89. its certainly gotten more complicated with internet based businesses but generally you can't just go to a state neither party has any connection to, you'll loose in the initial opening if they ask for a dismissal
    1
  90. "There's nothing in the constitution giving you the right to smoke." don't give big tobacco any ideas...
    1
  91. see the issue is that people paint cousin marriage in broad strokes. 1st cousin = Bad, 2nd Cousin = probably bad, but 3rd cousin? they're only related to you in name, not genetics, but they're still a cousin not advocating for it, but einstein's 2nd wife being a 3rd cousin wasn't that gross
    1
  92. Section 501 of the tax code was a mistake
    1
  93. and yet the dark knight movies were filmed in Chicago
    1
  94. "Here's casu martsu" Nope nope nope nope noooooooooooopppppeeeee nope nop nope!
    1
  95. sure....unless they win, then they didn't lie
    1
  96.  @jazzycat8917  and yet that's seemingly not an unusual argument by government lawyers
    1
  97. they'll just settle with a half measure that doesn't matter to the trumps because they'll just find another crime to commit. his tax lawyers, accountants, and everyone giving him money knew he was a piece of crap but they went along. I'm not sure why he hasn't been taken down by a RICO charge but I guess its not racketeering if you're a mafia doing white collar crimes
    1
  98. Lol in a movie where the villains are SJW's he hires a 'Social Justice Lawyer'
    1
  99. I wish the partisan machine wouldn't instantly ramp up to spin everything. these guys were Enron running a charity according to what they're accused of and the NRA shouldn't get a pass because of their political connections. I wish people would stop instantly climbing into the trenches, these are exactly the corrupt individuals foz news pretends to care about when they can spin it as being corrupt liberals. I think too many corporations get by with sacrificing a couple executives, pay a fine, and continue on without actually changing course. We ought to be dissolving them when we find entire floors of executives corrupt
    1
  100. I almost wonder if the defense council threw the case out of sheer exhaustion, Jones is an awful person to work for and probably has driven him crazy
    1
  101. also just firehose on fox news so his supporters are drilled with their alternate facts so as to go out and disemminate his truth against the Truth
    1
  102. The issue is that ignoring the parts of history that don't support your side has been quite rewarding for politicians these days. see anyone claiming the US has never been a racist country, and the last 50 years of US history
    1
  103.  @gateauxq4604  china in turn has sold an even bigger chunk of its debt to everybody else, its a global circular economy of countries selling debt to other countries
