I don’t think this is gonna go over well, but here goes ... I’m a pro-choice liberal but I think Roe v. Wade was wrongly decided. I also think it’s quite possible that had the Court never overturned an abortion law as unconstitutional, American culture, law and politics would be more pro-choice than it is today.

That’s an awfully optimistic headline considering the current trend humanity’s on

In that case, look around you for for a week or two and you will weep forever.

This fucking guy is a fraud and is shitty at everything. Can’t lead a platoon of soldiers without fearing they’ll kill him in his sleep. Can’t find an age-appropriate woman to have sex with him. Can’t follow simple, direct orders from an appellate court. Can’t find an even halfway-competent lawyer to represent him.…

Turnover percentage just isn’t a very useful stat. Charlotte has had the league lead in the stat on lockdown for five years during which time they’ve been ... average. Golden State ranks toward the bottom every year. Sure, there have been great teams that take care of the ball well, but it’s not essential.

bingo. they make these garish monstrosities precisely so they will go viral, some people will try them, and while they’re there go ahead and grab an actual reasonable coffee and a sausage sandwich and meanwhile the word “starbucks” will once again spend several weeks being imprinted into the collective brain of the…

I prefer to use all three of Obama’s initials because it reminds me of the other BHO

Only if he has a dumb lawyer who likes risking Rule 11 sanctions

The other obvious thing here is - given that he’s a shoo-in for yet another deportation anyhow, this prosecution needlessly piles on (and spends a bunch of DOJ and Prisons Bureau dollars) for nakedly political purposes - indeed it’s clearly really intended to punish him for a homicide he’s been acquitted of.

Told ya I wasn’t an expert - but I don’t see how they can possibly claim with a straight face that Zarate’s state-court conviction on the felon-with-a-firearm charge leaves the federal interest involved here - keeping guns out of the hands of prohibited persons - “demonstrably unvindicated.”

I’m not an expert on DOJ policy but it is hard to see how this doesn’t violate the second prong of the Petite Policy.

nah, I was so lost in thought I forgot to ask, absent-mindedly grabbed the wrong size cup, spilled a steaming hot lattemochachino all over my hand and suffered almost as sick a burn as you just inflicted

Cool man, you’re welcome.

Hey now - I used my philosophy degree just yesterday, when I crafted in my own mind an amazing argument in defense of hypothetical obstruction of justice charges against the president based on (1) the “knowledge” element of the charge; (2) the epistemological definition of “knowledge” as justified, true, firmly held…

Trump has no clue why he fired Flynn. He likely didn’t at the time either - he certainly didn’t want to and all he knew was that his advisers were overwhelmingly telling him he had to. He does not speak (or tweet) in a manner consistent with being a person who even forms sincere beliefs; why should we infer anything…

While it reveals that he’s a crude ignoramus who very likely has no clue what differentiates the various classes of pussy, I really don’t give a shit that he said this. I already knew all those things about him anyway.

You and I didn’t see the evidence in any detail, we just know the outlines as reported in the media. The jury deliberated six days. I think “probably a close case” was a pretty reasonable comment.

Settle down. The phrase accurately describes the defendant and, sadly, the ONLY reason this case has any exposure beyond the back pages in the local newspaper. Read the article; Eleanor is not demonizing him because he’s undocumented, which is not really the preferred nomenclature for demonizing the ILLEGALS anyways.

The prosecution’s “depraved game of third-person russian roulette” theory was such an obvious, stupid overreach. This was probably a close case for involuntary manslaughter and I’m sure that’s what the jury spent six days deliberating over. It was never, ever, ever a provable murder case and its politicization was and…

I have been heard saying out loud “Billie Jean might be the best song of the 1980s.”
