Just like when they say “anyone can go to the ER and get treated” out of the apparent belief that the ER doesn’t send you a bill later when that happens.

His current position is the first time in his life he has ever encountered people who were not kissing his ass because they a) wanted some of his money, or b) thought they could make money in association with him. This is what happens when you are surrounded by syncophants and yes-men literally your entire life.

But in both cases the external villain was introduced in the very first book, so it’s not something that was sprung on the audience late. (edit: now that I think about it, in literally the first scenes in both shows.)

It’s fucking sad that we have to wonder whether someone who did something so egregiously criminal will actually be found guilty (to the extent that “wonder” is actually the right word, since I’d bet serious money that he will not).

Voting for the Green Party, with the same overall odds of success.

Yeah, I thought he did too but couldn’t remember enough to be sure of that.

I agree, but then I agree to the point that I have no sympathy whatsoever for the “bathroom” argument of allowing them to turn the bodycams off while on duty (don’t like it? Don’t be a cop), so I’ll admit to a degree of zealousness on the topic.

“Shit he even knows that the 3 dragons and a lady are touching down soon , so why bother?”

I couldn’t remember - does he know that? 

Then you’d think the time to turn them on would be “when responding to a call” and the time to turn them off would be “after completing our response to a call”.

If by “your country” you mean Texas, definitely. Otherwise it’s considered a plus, but not mandatory.

I did feel free to quote you, friend. That was what the quotes were for.

Well, it’s okay if it’s our God, see?

I love that too, except that these days the next scene would be Uncle Phil in jail too awaiting arraignment on charges of obstructing justice, threatening a police officer, and what the hell probably resisting arrest.

You never made the claim that anyone here can see you wrote right up there? Okay, dude.

Why churn over that? Because I reject your unsupported assertion that “it’s better to talk about the multitude of laws...” than it is to talk about the specific, notable, and documented phenomenon of DWB.

(Also because I’m a privileged white male who was fortunate enough to have had a previous job where I dealt with…

“Instead of finding an affront, that may not exists, to take people head on realize it for the opportunity that it represents: People of all stripes being pulled over for some made up reason. THAT is what we should all be lock step about curtailing. “

White Bullshit Stops Also Matter, in other words. Come on, man. 

I think it was probably the greatest athletic achievement of my life when my partner was sick & absent from school the day of our finals match in gym class. The other pair (we had the better record than they did) were chortling over their good fortune in having an easy victory against solo me. I whipped their asses…

There’s a good “so still less than your mother?” joke to be made here, but I’m too classy for that.

Pickleball was awesome back in high school (the last time I played it). Except for the one time I caught myself in the eyebrow with my paddle on the follow-through. That raised a mighty lump, I’ll tell you what.
