  1. Dr. Richey has said he's just opinion. Basically, he's admitting that he cannot be trusted to report the facts.

  2. I'm pretty sure the jury will want to rule in favor of Depp. I mean, the jury might want to sentence her to hard labor.

  3. I get the motivation for this, but (1) they'll get more dead young Black men, and, regardless of whether the vast majority of those were justified or not, they will never be justified in the eyes of a lot of the local population and politicians, and (2) I suspect that the vast majority of the national guard didn't sign up for this and retention is going to go way down. That said, more police and a DA office that will prosecute are the answer, but that's a lot easier said than done.

  4. Does she get a shorter sentence for it being "top quality"?

  5.  @Demonsouls1993  A prosecutor could push that way, but AFAIK there's no law saying they're deadly weapons. That whole "these hands are registered as deadly weapons" thing is a myth.

  6. Roland Martin. Dom Deluise. Once you see it, you can't unsee it.

  7. I hope she faces criminal charges. Being a mayor means having a lot of power, and with great power really should come responsibility.

  8. Innocent until proven guilty and she wasn't proven guilty. I think she got too hard a sentence for something seen over her shoulder. On the downside, I think snapchat is going to get a lot more popular in certain circles.

  9. As close as I get to watching a documentary about the Markle are YouTube videos.

  10. That right-wing protests are more likely to be violent is news to me. But I think a reasonable question is, are the right-wingers starting that violence? We may not have the data. As far as the question you asked, let's flip the politics. Most guns are not involved in murders, but a lot of murders involve guns. In this case, I'd honestly call BLM protests mostly peaceful, though I'm decidedly on the other side of the aisle from the protestors. I think both sides are trying to oversimplify, though.

  11. It's easy for them to entertain it if they don't care about the truth.

  12. Our ancestors fought for us to govern ourselves. Despite hiccups, in general I still value that right. But some of those hiccups are bigger than others.

  13. What a tragic mess!

  14. A lot of them still want open borders, but with someone else paying for it. To be fair, generally speaking, the cost of a national policy shouldn't be on a few cities, but if those cities wanted open borders then they should be the ones to pay for it.

  15. Thank you, Nate. This is a deeper dive than I'm likely to get anywhere else.

  16. It's entertaining to watch from the outside, but I feel for those trapped in the situation.

  17. She took multiple beatings without a single bruise? Maybe that's why WB cast her as a superhero!

  18. That's bad. Heads need to (metaphorically) roll. Mistakes are one thing, but coverups are not mistakes. I'll keep an open mind but "we tried the keys and they didn't work" seems incompatible to me with an unlocked door. For practical purposes, "You don't need guns, you have the police" takes another hit. It was always ridiculous due to response times, and but this underscores it in scarlet.

  19. How much safer is first class? I think I've seen more crazy people filmed in coach, but I also think that the difference is going to be statistically very small.

  20. I think that's the responsible thing for her to do. I still have serious doubts about a politician who wants special treatment because of their sex and skin color. Edit: But if other mayors lived rent-free in that apartment (New Orleans isn't noted for clean government) then I wouldn't charge her for getting caught in the same apartment. I would get her to move out, though.

  21. If words are violence now, what do we call what we used to call violence?

  22. I unsubscribe from people who use articles in the title. You know, "the" and "a" and similar. I see those all the time and I think they're really overused.

  23. If there was a way to move to Trappist 3, I'm fairly sure there'd be life there pretty soon.

  24. Innocent until proven guilty. But if she's guilty then she turned her life around a full 360.

  25. If there had already been numerous firearm safety problems before then, was it reasonable to take the armorer's word for it? I think that's a judgement call, but I think that's enough for an indictment to let a judge or jury make that judgement. OTOH, it is stupid for him not to check, and it would have been stupid for the armorer if she had been insulted; the generally accepted behavior is for everyone to check before handling the firearm.

  26. The professor isn't just extremely left-wing, she's divorced from the facts. Calling cops can backfire even if you're the one who calls them, but an active shooter roaming around is worse.

  27. Along with "Hands up, don't shoot!" For some people, right or left, facts are secondary to the narrative.

  28. It sounds like clear-cut nepotism to me. I can see that one job might trigger panic attacks or something and another one might not, so the medical leave could be legitimate. But the hiring sounds really supect, and the performance is, honestly, what should be expected of such hiring.

  29. The shows you mentioned dropping N-bombs (and Blazing Saddles) also share something else in common. They were against racism.

  30. Good grief. Time served for killing a child. Well, back to being an attorney, I guess.

  31. If there is no one to enforce laws, then you can carry whatever you want.

  32. You called it both times, and you made the reasons clear both times. Would imperfect self-defense apply to the sentencing?

  33. I hadn't heard of him. I won't say what I think until I've learned enough to actually think, but condolences to his friends and loved ones, and also to his fans.

  34. What was he supposed to do, trust her not to fire? I think that would be an unreasonable standard. The only questionable bit, to me, would be that he could easily have killed someone downrange, but I also don't think he could have been required to not fire. I wonder what was wrong with her. Psychotic break? I haven't seen anything about a toxicology report.

  35. I almost said that NBC was blinded by narrative, but, realistically that doesn't explain the editing choices they made. I can't reconcile how they did this with any concern for the truth.

  36. Isn't it the law thatyou can only keep classified documents at home if they are kept in a secure location such as a garage? 😀

  37. I'm going to discount Floyd saying that he couldn't breathe because (1) he was saying it before he was placed on the ground and (2) I've heard people screaming that as they're being arrested, indicating that people do lie about it. But even if he didn't mean to kill Floyd, I think other behavior indicates he showed depraved indifference to the man's life. I wouldn't take Chauvin's heart condition into account at all. I would take into account that it's his first felony. 18.3275 years. But anything from 15 to 30 seems pretty reasonable to me. Probation would be ridiculously light.

  38. To be fair, could Heard have genuinely thought Kate Moss had been attacked, or (from Heard's words) just thought of Moss's fall. Or she could have been lying through her teeth, of course. But it was good for Depp's side to establish that Heard didn't know Moss had been attacked, and that Depp didn't have a habit of pushing people down stairs.

  39.  @normcmiller For that matter, what happens to insurance rates and business in her district? There are reasons for "food deserts" (and other deserts), and I suspect they're expanding.

  40. It's true that inaccuacies and inconsistencies don't prove that a rape didn't happen, but in our legal system you don't have to prove innocence. This sounds like a case of her word vs. his, and she's been shown unreliable. If I were on a jury, reasonable doubt would be pretty easy.

  41. Adult web sites? So if I'm in Utah I can't see how to do my taxes, fix up some wiring, and find out if I need that colonoscopy? Good thing I've got that VPN!

  42. Judges have a huge amount of power. He shouldn't be one.

  43. Because the president nominates supreme court justices.

  44.  @ltsiver  Communism was pretty good at the "dead" part too.

  45. I can see how they're not citizens, but non-citizens have been granted at least some constitutional rights, even illegal immigrants. But AFAIK the originalist positition would be silent on this. I can't argue that the court is legally wrong. I imagine it didn't want to get into areas such as miscarriage, fetal nutrition, and a whole host of possible complications.

  46. I think Depp has a tall hill to climb to show that he probably never abused her, but this was as good a push up that hill as I can imagine. I haven't followed the trial in detail, but from what I have heard, if I were on the jury I'd not only find for Depp, I'd try to sentence her to hard labor.

  47. It sounds as if he did threaten people with harm. "I'll hurt anyone on this train."

  48. I think he'll still be re-elected.

  49. I'm an ex-Californian, and I approve this message.

  50.  @Lydia-Frost  Because things won't improve if conservatives stay, either. Let the democrats keep trying their policies and eventually they may face reality.
