The stunning part is that they let it go to a vote without having whipped the necessary numbers.
They could have drawn it out with hearings, but they thought they had it in the bag and that their whole caucus was bought into the BS narrative they’re trying to to drive leading into this election year.
The coroner system is terrible. It treats elected officials as if they are medical experts, and in turn they are able to offer that “expertise” in court. It’s a travesty.
There’s a great book on how this system can go wrong called The Cadaver King and the Country Dentist. Or you can probably just look up whatever your local coroner has done.
In what situation would it be appropriate, legal, and approvable to burn down civilian houses in an occupied area?
I can’t think of one.
Sounds like a similar premise to Childhood’s End.
Regressives the world over are not creative. They do what they do because they believe others will do it. They’re bullies because they were bullied, and they don’t want to be the victim, so they erroneously believe that means they have to strike first.
They never stop to think, “What if the world weren’t shit? What can I do to make it better?” They accept as a fact that it is shit, and they believe the only way to come out ahead is to step on someone else.
When you get several of these people/groups pointing at each other, it becomes an infinite cycle.
So you’re inferring something from a headline.
Any chance the target of these statements might infer the same?
That’s how wannabe mob bosses work.
This. Cryptofascism relies on being able to scream, “It was just a joke / I didn’t know!”
Mistakes can happen and you might accidentally engage in a dog whistle as a normal person.
A dozen mistakes all pointing to the exact same thing are unlikely.
And to be fair, it could be one person at the top putting all these wink wink indicators in, and the majority involved might just be normal folks.
I still won’t be buying the game.
This is a bad take.
It overvalues the republican narrative machine. What’s the alternative? Rolling over and letting him do whatever because we’re afraid of whatever lie he’ll choose to tell? Hard pass.
If several blue states do the same, he will lose the nomination or the RNC will have to change the rules to put him in as the nominee. There are more republicans living in California than there are in Texas, and if they can’t vote for Trump, they’ll have to vote for another clown, which gives one of them a fighting chance of beating Trump. Regressives are selfish - they won’t be able to resist infighting.

Hello from kbin. It’s nice over here.
Most people consider conversations ended if neither party adds anything for a space of time.
A reasonable space of time is definitely overnight.
Rob’s is assuming he 1) sees everything, 2).didn’t or can’t miss anything important, and 3) that his interpretation is correct.
That’s why it’s arrogant and stupid and people get annoyed.
Seriously, have you never been upset or hurt and had someone try to tell you that you’re not?
It’s usually bags of money and pallets of equipment that go “missing” and find a new home with a warlord.
I don’t think you can expect rational discourse from a collective concern.
Some people will agree with you. Some people will disagree, because at the end of the day, if you’re willing to vote for someone even when they don’t do what you like, then they have no incentive to consider anything you like.
Neither position is wrong.
Our system, which sets up two bad options, is what’s wrong.
This is ultimately a false dichotomy. We operate as if there are only two options, because no one person has the power to fix this, but instead of recognizing that the system is broken, we blame each other for not going all in on what we all admit is problematic.
Why do people tap their breaks in the left lane when passing someone slower on the right?
Please stop. Tap your breaks if you’re signaling something going on in front, or if you need to slow down faster than just taking your foot off the gas will slow you.
Very unlikely. There’s a statement at the bottom that explains what the fee is. There’s a QR code at the top for more information, which OP cut off.
I doubt they went through the effort of updating their POS system, providing links to info on the receipt, and chose not to post a sign or put a note on the menu. Everywhere I have been with a service fee like this posts it, which would negate any legal issue.
Caveat emptor.
It’s literally what’s happening.
Texas used the same concept to empower private people to sue abortion providers and receivers under civil law since they couldn’t do it criminally.
The country as a whole has done it for a long time with cellphone data, the five eyes alliance, etc.
They have access to information they’re barred from getting directly themselves, and they get it from private companies. Spying by proxy.
Especially if it’s peaceful protest.
Gotta build the narrative that these are disruptive individuals. If they won’t do it themselves, the universities and states will just lie and hope that it will be enough to sway public opinion against the protestors.
