Very well explained. Defendant rights are important rights; I ask people whether they would feel the same if it was a friend or family member charged with the crime. Those who say no are kidding themselves.

I agree with you; when you become a cop, I think by definition you accept that you have a dangerous job. You don’t have the right to eliminate all risk by killing everyone who scares you. And you should have some obligation to attempt less than lethal measures. The cops in the UK don’t even carry guns, and they…

The supermarket, back when I lived in DC.

The Sanders supporters (and the campaign’s failure to quash their BS) have turned me from undecided/leaning Hillary to firmly Hillary. I am so tired of the relentless bashing and flat out lies being trotted out everywhere. If he won (and I’d vote for him if he got the nomination, I’m not a spiteful eight year old) he…

Bernie Sanders supporters stating that they’ll “never” vote for Hillary even if she is the nominee, that she is just like the Republicans, blah blah blah. I intend to vote for the democratic nominee, whoever they are, but if we lose this election, it will be because of this divisive shit. Too many of these people have…

Talk about overthinking things. It’s not sexual harassment, it has nothing to do with homophobia or conservatism - it’s just a simple message to these jamokes to go fuck themselves!

I’ve seen a crapload of it on Facebook.

He’s a Palin. They have a ton of money and there’s no reason he should have gone without whatever he needed. I am not saying that if he has trauma stemming from his service, he shouldn’t have treatment and resources provided - only that it is beside the point because unlike most vets, his family has the resources to…

I’m having a rage stroke right now. SARAH, YOUR SON IS WHITE TRASH LIKE YOU, DON’T BLAME OBAMA FOR THE FACT YOU RAISED HIM TO BE A VIOLENT, GUN HAPPY IDIOT. FUCK OFF AND DIE.

I agree that what she did was fucking disgusting and that she totally deserves her sentence - however, how much do you want to bet that if the genders were reversed, the sentence would be substantially shorter? Seriously, I’d put money on it.

I’d trade 25 of Texas for one NYC. At least. Frankly, we’d be far better of without Texas. Fuck you, Cruz.

Just post her photo in response to all the MRA assholes who complain that men do all the heroic and life-saving work in life. Most of those idiots would have been standing there with their thumbs in their asses. Nay, running away with their thumbs in their asses.

I’ve been married for 25 years. Some of that time has been difficult. Some people in my shoes might not have stayed. There were people who tried to tell me to go. (Not a similar situation to HRC at all). But that is the kind of decision each person can only make for themselves, and I don’t feel anyone has the right to…

Having a life estate isn’t renting. You don’t pay anything. It’s just like owning, except you can’t sell your interest or leave it to anyone in your will, it is personal to you and lasts only as long as your lifetime.

“right to work” is the biggest bullshit ever.

He has a face like a potato. I think his brain is potato-ey, to0.

Somebody almost always gets screwed in discovery disputes. Judges hate them and so they just shoot off half-assed rulings based on navel gazing. The presumption should be in favor of discovery. Discovery =/= admissibility in court. You can preserve your evidentiary objections at deposition so that if they try to use…

I must be a lousy hostess, because I’d hire a clown before I’d resort to the chair leg.

Yeah, no. #fullofshit #fuckoffalready

On the other hand, don’t you think that part of evaluating the truthfulness of a witness includes looking at their posture, their expression, their overall demeanor? I agree someone could try to make a defendant seem “crazy,” but look at cases like Jeffrey Dahmer - I have no doubt he was ACTUALLY crazy, but the jury…
