counterpoint: I wash my hands frequently, and I’ve never had the flu.  (I do get one or two colds a year, though)

and how many convictions were there after how many Benghazi! hearings?  maybe we should use that as the baseline for political trials before we accept a not guilty verdict

I think one of the charges required intent, and what was said in the Mueller report sounded like he was too stupid to realize what he was doing, and was just getting played as a tool

I believe shelters like this tend to benefit native pollinators, which in turn tend to benefit native plants.

“resisting arrest” is considered a violent crime, and it’s what cops use to charge protesters for, well, anything...

wearing a motorcycle helmet 24/7 would likely do more to guarantee personal safety than carrying a gun, plus there is the upside of no risk to nearby bystanders.

There aren’t a lot of them, but if there is a tool lending library in your area, they can be a great resource.

apparently it’s a conviction under a general court martial:

It’s been a while, but I thought having a court martial on your record was equivalent to a felony conviction, with all of the same restrictions and such?

fuck...

meh. I mean, if this happens, granted, I’ll be a little envious it didn’t happen early enough for me to take advantage of it directly, but I don’t need a direct benefit after the fact (nevermind that the paperwork would be a likely nightmare...)

I hope he didn’t pay much for school, because he sure didn’t learn much...

wow, there are a lot of assholes against this simply because they won’t directly benefit.

nah.

This is absurd, we really need a law or an amendment or something making it illegal to require people to lie.  

yeah, I think that’s one of the greater overall problems - this was a civil suit, so she wasn’t eligible for state-sponsored representation, which pretty much puts her at the mercy of her accuser and his lawyers.

If he were actually parenting, and being a part of the kids lives, then he may have some claim to visitation or custody. Not an expert, but I believe this happens fairly often regardless of genetic relation, with adopted and step kids and such. That gets really messy.

person A didn’t carry the kids to term, and didn’t care for them, therefore I don’t see them having any claim whatsoever, let alone anything approaching an equal claim to person B

someone should not end up in jail because of a stupid civil suit.
