I would far prefer a censure letter from this administration than a Medal of Honor.

Yes, but the occasional support for gun rights among democrats is nothing like the monolithic support for it from the GOP. Pointing out this failing on Obama’s part is like pointing out a rain drop falling in the ocean.

No. Not specifically SCOTUS. This has been a team effort. Conservatives have been working on this for decades. SCOTUS is just the final step. The blood will be on the hands of all republicans whose votes allowed this to happen.

That’s the whole reason they attached it to her foot.

The damage to her scalp and vascular network was so severe that restoring the ear at the time was impossible, so the procedure was performed to save the patient’s aural orifice so it could be reattached to her head later.

the breach appears to be legitimate and includes email addresses, along with optional fields such as first and last name, phone number, physical address, gender, and date of birth — although many of these fields appear to be empty.

So, this may be the most inconsequential leak in a long time. Grats to Conde Nast for not storing a zillion pieces of data on all their customers.

Yep, classic Douglas Adams.

So, we need required classes, early, like in elementary school, that specifically teach problem solving, critical thinking, how to detect misinformation, and what I’ll call empathy.

Good luck. The 2012 Texas GOP platform specifically opposed the teaching of critical thinking skills. Needless to say, the entire GOP feels the same way to this date. Also, empathy is now considered a weakness or moral failing in those circles.

Face it. The federal government and the state governments of a large fraction of the states are diametrically opposed to our desires.

Don’t get me wrong. I think you’re correct about what our goals should be. But calling it an uphill battle to achieve them would be an understatement of epic proportions.

Edit: 2012, not 2021

No. But, if we are going to allow guns in our society, I want everyone who has one to have passed a thorough class and passed a comprehensive test on gun safety and usage. Further, I want anyone who later demonstrates failure to exercise the lessons taught in those classes to be charged with criminal negligence and lose their right to own a gun.

This asshole had to take a test to get a license to drive, but the most he likely had to do to get a deadly weapon is swear that he’s not currently using drugs, and show that he hasn’t been convicted nor currently being charged with certain violent crimes.

Well, I… um… er… Hey! What in the world can that be?!

*runs off serpentine fashion in case you are about to pull out a gun*

“He absolutely destroyed a family,” Judd said. “Our homicide detectives are distraught. When you go in there, there is a beautiful Christmas tree with lots of Christmas presents under the tree, just like the nuclear family should be … and it ends up this way.”

Yeah, so maybe, just maybe the drug using alcoholic with anger management issues should not have had a gun. But no, we can’t restrict gun ownership, can we. Some old guys a about 250 years ago said we shouldn’t do that. So, sorry folks. All you can do is get your own gun and hope you’re fast enough to shoot any crazy fucks who come at you before they can shoot you. It’s the American way.

That makes sense. Thanks for the explanation.

Okay, thanks.

Forgive my ignorance, but does this mean that my gforce card performance will be degraded if I don’t pay for this subscription? Why would I want to use this cloud gaming to play games I already own?

Holy shit! That’s on my new 2026 Bingo card!

So you scream a the other kid’s parent, or maybe dunk them if they won’t reprimand their own kid. At least they’re an adult. You don’t assault and injure a 6-year-old.

What provocation would justify screaming at someone else’s six year old, grabbing them, holding them under water for several seconds and leaving them with a nose bleed?

Maybe an ad campaign would move the needle, but there are a lot of stupid, selfish, people out there ready to lick the boots.

True. But grand juries are different from criminal trials. Federal criminal convictions, as well as state criminal convictions since 2020, require that the jury verdict must be unanimous. That means one hold out can prevent a conviction for something like weed possession.

State courts have required unanimous verdicts since 2020. Before that year, nearly all states followed the federal criminal trial procedure. Two states—Oregon and Louisiana—allowed non-unanimous jury verdicts. In 1972, the U.S. Supreme Court upheld these types of verdicts in Apodaca v. Oregon (406 U.S. 404) (1972).

In 2020, the Court overturned Apodaca with Ramos v. Louisiana (140 U.S. 1390). The Court reasoned that a deeper historical examination of the criminal justice system revealed an intentional bias against some jurors. The non-unanimous verdict helped ensure guilty verdicts for African Americans by eliminating one or two African American “not-guilty” votes (Justice Kavanaugh concurrence at 1418).

Has Trump posted yet that this is radical woke nonsense and the pointless shooting of animals for training purposes will continue regardless of the fact that better training methods are available? You know he’s going to.

Why wouldn’t a future field medic be able to do time in emergency rooms where they are almost certain to see a variety of injuries that would compare to many types of battlefield injuries?
