The Trump Corollary to Poe’s Law.

Well, when you believe that most migrants are dangerous invaders bringing drugs and semi-automatic rape machines into our country, it makes perfect sense. I mean, they shoot prisoners who try to escape right?

The fact that his staffers actually looked into this insane idea just proves that it’s not even clear to them when Trump is joking and when he is serious.

True, but Trump already won once (albeit, just barely) even though most of the normal GOP mega-donors stayed away from him due to his toxicity and long shot status against Clinton.

The Supreme Court has a busy schedule and rarely relitigates cases that are similar to cases that have already been litigated unless the lower courts are in disagreement with how to interpret prior precedent. 

I doubt that they will. The Supreme Court has ruled that affirmative action programs for underrepresented minorities are constitutional on several recent occasions. 

Basically the angle of the lawsuit is that racial preferences are unconstitutional, so the actual number of people admitted is largely irrelevant to that argument.

The facts really would not support a first degree murder. That would imply that she planned out the killing in advance, even though the prosecutor admitted that there was no evidence that the two were aware of each other’s existence until the time of the murder. 

Castle doctrine is literally the same thing as stand your ground, except castle doctrine applies only in your home whereas stand your ground applies in public as well. 

Tom Brady should have run left instead of right. Then he wouldn’t have gotten sacked. Obviously, I would make a much better quarterback than Tom Brady, because I can tell just from watching it what he did wrong. And naturally, this supports my insane theory that Tom Brady secretly wanted the 49ers to win the game…

Grand Juries are supposed to operate in secret. 

His job was not to, “do all he could do”. His job was to investigate two specific questions. And he did that very thoroughly and very well. There is absolutely no credible evidence that would lead someone to conclude that Muller’s investigation was affected in any way by his own personal political beliefs.

For the purposes of an impeachment inquiry, I don’t think it really matters. It’s not like a criminal trial where the prosecutor usually has to prove that the defendant intentionally committed a crime (and sometimes also has to prove that he knew he was committing a crime). If the President is abusing his power, the…

If pollsters just used a SRS, that would be true. But they use pretty sophisticated methods to take into account the probability that someone of a particular demographic will answer the phone and give honest answers.

This has been the word from Science for many years now. And yet, like all things that were once good, and then bad, and then good again—butter, alcohol, the quality of TV programming—Science says red meat may not be so bad for you, after all. It’s still bad for the entire planet, though, so don’t get too excited.

I figure that about 25%-30% are the hardcore Trump supporters who really believe in his agenda and the other 15% are people whose lives are generally going well and don’t much care for politics or the news. 

I mean, that’s not really how it works. Technically, members of the government could be thrown in jail, but that would require the congress to run its own jail (it doesn’t) or for them to refer a criminal contempt of congress complaint to Trump’s Justice Department (good luck with that one).

*Oddly specific.

Yes but second degree murder does not apply if there are mitigating circumstances. And manslaughter is murder with mitigating circumstances. Specifically in this case it would be imperfect self-defense (when you believe you are defending yourself but your belief is unreasonable).

More than likely, she is a competent judge who examined the issue of whether castle doctrine applies based on objectively being in your own home or subjectively believing yourself to be in your own home and there is good precedent for the decision she made. Judges rarely get the opportunity to create new…
