Never underestimate political apathy.

That will only deal with the SEC portion… it won’t do anything for the civil suit at least.

Almost half the war on terror is fighting regions we used to provide weapons to.

Depends on the judge. There are corrupt ones.

The most easily identified by whether they support the current administration in any way.

A reminder that for the McDonald’s claim, she only wanted her medical bills covered, it was McDonald’s that refused a much smaller claim of some tens of thousands and instead insisted on taking it to court. Plus they had been advised numerous times previously from customers about burns due to their decision to maintain the temp of their brewed coffee so high for so long after it was made, solely to minimize profit loss. They were scraping pennies and ignoring customer warnings.

“Starbucks offered $30m to settle but wanted confidentiality. We said we would settle for $30m without confidentiality and only if Starbucks agreed to publicly apologize and promise to change policy to prevent this from happening again,”

Starbucks offered the guy $30M with a confidentiality agreement. They were already clearly thinking it warranted an amount in that region, which would only be if they thought they could be liable for even more.

That McDonald’s case is going to fuck them up. It’s clear precedent for a largely similar case. The extreme publicity around it also means Starbucks can’t claim ignorance of the danger of hot coffee via the drive thru as any sort of defense.

Harbor Freight is awesome, but as with everything else, you should know what you’re buying, and know what you actually need.

Most people don’t need to pay a premium for something they’ll use just once, or maybe a handful of times, and never touch again.

For most people, they don’t really know what they need, so buy Harbor Freight the first time, if you use so much it breaks, then buy a quality replacement, because you proved you actually need it.

Rise! We protected the group from wild animals for centuries as they slept! We allowed them to sleep peacefully, without fear.

The problem is that the Executive Branch is the one that enforces laws, and they have the authority to ignore laws they don’t want to enforce. Discretion is a fundamental part of law enforcement, it is why you can get a warning for speeding instead of a ticket every time, their discretion ability wasn’t codified. That is why generally federal law enforcement like the FBI operates independently even though they’re under the Executive, so they can enforce laws and judicial decisions without interference. Interfering should trigger check and balances from the Legislative branch, and impeachment.

The system was never designed with the possibility of a takeover of all three branches simultaneously as a possibility. That just wasn’t a thing they thought was likely to happen. But the system was also designed at a time when only white landowners could vote, and part of their societal expectation was to be educated, critical thinkers that were up to date, and active with politics. So those voting actually knew what was going on, and were educated to look at the various outcomes, even with media bias of the time.

As we’ve expanded voting rights, we never adjusted the system to account for uneducated voters or an increase in propaganda and outright lying from media outlets in any way. On top of that we’ve artificially limited the expansion of the House of Representatives so it no longer operates as designed. It was designed to represent the people via population, but the limit of 435 means that instead of it being representative of population, there are members representing a couple hundred thousand people and members representing millions, yet they have the same single vote. The House has become a pseudo-Senate, and is no longer capable of doing its job correctly because of it.

The ICE policies and infrastructure wasn’t originally setup to be the shithole it has become over the years.

Some of those minimum standards are still there in some places where they didn’t get in the way of being pieces of shit.

The problem here is… Who puts them in a cell. It is the Executive Branch that enforces those decisions.

But here it’s the executive branch ignoring those decisions. So the system is designed for the Legislative branch to remove the overreaching executive leadership. Except they (as a general group majority) want this to happen, so they won’t do shit.

Theoretically, this is what they’ve always claimed the 2nd amendment is for. But those dipshits are asleep at the wheel because they’ve been fed propaganda their entire lives and believe everything is backwards from reality.

If his arrest and search were unlawful, then all evidence obtained from it is inadmissible in court. If they did not read him his Miranda rights, that could be enough by itself to basically throw everything out.

I think that’s what happened, and that’s why the NYPD and other officials have been doing the rounds on the media talking about shit before even providing evidence to the defense team as required. They know the evidence won’t be usable in court and they’re trying to taint the jury pool with that info ahead of time before they have to admit that they fucked up so badly they couldn’t even do the most basic part of their job required for EVERY arrest, by anyone, anywhere in the country.

Of course they do. Then they’ll point to the increased fraud as an excuse to disband the entire program.

Don’t forget the public admission from Israel that they want to kill everyone in Gaza that doesn’t leave.

Like, I’ve been saying it since he was accused, he could very well get off Scott free.

Given the fact that law enforcement has provided evidence and interviews for a bullshit pseudo-documentary without even providing it to the defense, it certainly brings up the possibility that they might think that evidence won’t be admissible in court. So they’re trying to taint the public, and thus the jury pool, with whatever story they want.

Ah yes, bringing it back to the price it should still be. Instead of that $5+ bullshit they’ve been charging for that tiny piece of shit sandwich.

They just can’t help themselves. They just have to be violent assholes and prove their inferiority to everyone else whenever they have the chance.

The Boomers all have lead poisoning and the entire group should be declared mentally unfit for any sort of office, public or private.

If there’s anything Philly knows how to do, it’s fuck shit up after any sports game. Win or lose, big or small.

They have to grease up those light poles every time for a reason.

Probably someone trying to use the meme in a Halloween-specific context.
