What a lot of these rich people don’t realize is that their kids have every advantage possible. They’ve gone to the best private schools all their lives, had tutors who devoted countless hours to them, had expensive intense SAT prep classes that cost thousands, etc. With all those advantages, they should be able…

But is Dr. Dre’s daughter actually questionable? If the transcript is public and clearly dog shit, I would more than understand, but is it so unrealistic to think that there are some children of celebrities who advantage themselves of the resources at their disposal by using private tutors, prep courses, not having…

So what we’re going with here is that he donated $70 million six years ago, when his daughter was around 11 or 12 years-old, in anticipation of her applying to USC?

Regardless of what Mueller’s job was on paper, Mueller’s job was to legitimize the orderly transfer of power from Obama to Trump, and keep the boat from rocking. Along the way he more than justified the cost of his investigation by indicting and convicting a handful of people for various crimes, inasmuch as his…

They also cannot introduce wolves - your comment demonstrates a misunderstanding of why deer are a pest in the first place.

I hope your comment gets more stars.

No, but I expect the politicians making drug laws to be able to actually define what constitutes “crystal meth” and “crack” are in a way that can be predictably, evenly, and consistently applied by law enforcement, prosecutors, and trial and appellate courts. If that requires talking to chemist at some point...…

I don’t know how anything I wrote contradicts my original sentiment, but you haven’t exactly made sense thus far, so points for consistency I guess.

If it’s a necessary part of maintaining the ecosystem, and they’re begrudgingly just doing what simply must be done, then let’s elevate their weapons of choice to class III NFA status; if they want that kind of weapons, they can register it with the local sheriff or PD, as well as the ATF, get stamp, and be subject to…

Doesn’t get more real than cruising around, listening to music, and kicking ass

I wouldn’t call myself a hunter because I realized after many years that it was a pretty miserable experience all around (for me at least), but I still have my hot takes on the subject (though I don’t know how “hot” they are, really). And one of them is that if you’re not a good enough shot to take the animal down…

That is incredibly flattering! I can’t thank you enough for the praise. And I really can’t take credit for that explanation about the ‘fruit of the poisonous tree’ doctrine--I’m an attorney, so I had the benefit of actually being instructed in it’s origin and functioning. Seriously though, than you again for the…

I know the type. It’s the dudes you quote Nicholson’s line from A Few Good Men where he says “you want me on that wall! You need me on that wall!” as if that line was not explicitly designed to sound like the jackbooted, bullshit justifications of a violent fascist.

Okay, these asshats have excuses about why the projectile wasn’t so bad. Now can they explain why the fuck it was necessary in first place? This wasn’t even an exercise in which it was important to know when they’d been hit (like when people play paintball or airsoft or something). If you’re going to simulate an…

Methinks the word “usurious” should stop simply being a emphatic way to describe loan terms and interest rates that we think are ruinous... and should go back to being a crime lenders are scared of committing and will go out of their way to avoid.

They didn’t earn their spot at their university, so I don’t think they should continue to hold that spot.

For real, I really don’t think you know how legislation or rule promulgation works.

That sentiment is literally from the US Supreme Court decision Jacobellis v. Ohio in which Justice Stewart used the phrase in his concurring opinion regarding obscenity. If we can rule on the First Amendment by applying common sense, we can regulate the Second Amendment the same way.

Ah, yes, unlike Japan, which is utterly without sin.

sometimes you have have to bear the consequences of other people’s actions.
