Exactly (re:your ETA). I know the overcharging strategy has been employed in the way you point out, and I can even sort of understand how the manslaughter charge didn’t stick. But you bet he was negligent and recklessly endangered someone.

But he wasn’t charged with vehicular manslaughter or criminal negligence, he was charged with a crime that requires establishing intent. This is actually a way prosecutors can evade getting a conviction; charge a police officer with a more severe form of the crime that the prosecution will not be able to prove beyond…

Depends where in the state. I spend a good amount of time in the Northeast Kingdom and there are some pretty conservative views there. Most of them fall under more of a libertarian type umbrella (fiscally conservative, socially liberal). Taxes are high, but sometimes that’s not the primary concern. VT overall takes…

Point of interest from here:

Really stupid gun laws like the one proposed by the Dems, wealth inequality, 50+ years of government corruption, lack of personal responsibility, few options for income mobility, a really shitty gun law in place now.

Do you think her supporters in the media miraculously came up with the same term at the same time?

Except he really hasn’t lost yet. Nothing is actually decided until the convention. But you know, ignore that and just consider him an old idiot now that the media says so.

It’s been really fascinating to watch how Bernie, who is literally running a true grassroots campaign and attempting to push policy and discourse to the left, has gone from “fringe candidate” to “hey he’s a real challenger with some radical ideas” and now to “he’s an old white male asshole supported by a bunch of Frat…

Stay on the easy bracket? And dishonor their Viking ancestors feasting and battling in the halls of Valhalla? This is peasant speech. In the hearts of every Englishman and Frenchman beats the ancient fear of longships spotted on the horizon, coming their way.

Even Mac Dre thinks Marshawn Lynch has a thick Bay accent.

Other nations pluck promising 12-year-olds out of school and put them into soccer academies. I’m not even saying that’s a good thing, it seems like misplaced priorities. I’m just saying, how do you compete with that?

Well, Jerry Rice is the best WR ever, and that's not debatable. But Calvin is an all-time great. And I wasn't born into it, I'm born and raised in NY to jets fans and somehow as a stupid youth I decided I was a lions fan...oh how I wish I had just become a jets fan like my dad...

Wyh this now, Dwyane?

“Men are afraid women will take their canoe paddles. Women are afraid of losing their spirituality.”

Nobody expects...Thai dudes playing hackysack volleyball with bicycle kicks!

Usually collegues or people I don’t know well. I think they are people who are insecure about their own drinking.

No, it isn’t disrespectul. She did not attain the number of delegates that makes her the nominee. Sorry about that. Had she reached that number, he would not NEED ton conceed. She did not EARN and uncontested convention, and I am so so sorry you didn’t learn enough about our system of government that you don’t know…

The trick to this is that the ending should be “being told that she must adopt his platform or he isn’t going to endorse her, which he is free to do or not to do depending on whether she actually starts pushing an actual progressive agenda”. Why does he owe her an endorsement?

Oh give me a fucking break! How much coin did Hillary’s support for the Iraq War and regime change in Libya and Syria cost the taxpayers? Enough of the sour fucking grapes from the media. 38k is a haircut for Hillary and weave for the Donald. How much taxpayer money went to funding primary elections for the private…
