A miscalculation is still a mistake. If their intention was to get him convicted, regardless of before or during election season, their slow-walking failed. They made mistakes.

You are correct about friendly judges. I don’t know enough about lawyering to know if there was a way for the DA to pick better venues with less friendly judges.

I try to, but there aren’t any near me. I resort to ordering from Powells or picking up from BN in person. I used to buy used from ABE books, but they got bought by Amazon.

Hell, I live in a huge city and don’t have many other options. Most of the independent stores here are focused on specific topics instead of just general fiction. Either that or they aren’t anywhere near me, which sucks in a city with crazy traffic.

A) She should have never called it a term that has that much meaning behind it.

B) She should have maybe waited to hear some facts before speaking about it.

The prosecutors in every single one of the MANY cases against him fucked up royally every step of the way. How can so many people make so many mistakes? I mean, even though they were up against judges who were actively trying to fuck them, they should have ended these cases a year ago.

Growing up I had two molars removed to make room for my teeth to move backward with braces. The orthodontist said my teeth were too big for my mouth and that I needed the extra space. Literally every dentist I’ve been to over the 30 years since then has asked why I didn’t have those molars. I always tell them, and they always say it doesn’t make sense. I’m guessing my family got “up-sold.”

I don’t wish any negative effects to all the people in Gaza and the West Bank. I do, however, wish that the people who voted for Trump have to experience the kind of pain that the people in Gaza and the West Bank will experience under Trump. All these fuckers are safe over here and won’t have to endure the kind of torture that voting in Trump will bring.

They protest voted against Harris because she personally wasn’t stopping a war she had no power to stop, with the only alternative being the guy who will accelerate that war. They deserve everything that comes to them while I laugh in their fucking faces (at the same time crying actual tears for the victims of their betrayal over in Gaza).

I hope that every single time they answer any question during these trials that they mention they were following Trump’s plan.

“We ran into unpredicted resistance while following President Trump’s evacuation plan.”

“While following President Trump’s withdrawal plan, numerous difficulties cropped up that needed to be overcome.”

I’m waiting for those workplaces to get fined or sanctioned… still waiting. Hmmm, I wonder why corporations, who are people by law, aren’t being targeted in the same way as humans for the same crime.

So something did precipitate this attack, and the media never reported on that. It only reported on what happened after.

Yes, some people completely uninvolved with the initial provocation got attacked, but the point is the attack wasn’t just some anti-Semitic pogrom. Also, the bigger point is the media reported on one thing with a very specific slant and didn’t report the other thing at all.

As soon as I read the initial headlines all over every media outlet I went to see if anything precipitated the attacks, because I had a feeling this wasn’t unprovoked.

I don’t support violence against anyone, but I sure wouldn’t paint this as an anti-Semitic attack. This was a group of hooligans who instigated the whole situation and got what they asked for.

“We cant promise you much other than, if you visit us, we can guarantee you’ll come back again !”

That’s a really hard guarantee to live up to. It almost sounds like an ominous threat.

The only garbage I see floating out there is his supporter’s demonization of Latinos.

Makes sense to me.

In California we’ve spent $11 billion over 10 years with nothing active to show for it. 120 miles are under construction but aren’t finished or connected to anything. By the time the first usable section is completed (171 miles), it will be at $30 billion.

Was he charged with voter fraud or attempted voter fraud? For many crimes, attempting a crime is a separate crime that carries penalties even if not successful in the actual crime. Not sure if that is the case here.

In order to stop the genocide we need to vote in the people who will destroy the country and commit even more genocide, in the hopes the wreckage of the country can be salvaged into something better. I’m comfortable making this choice, because the extra genocide will only be happening to other people, not to people like me who look just like them over here in the states.

So a 15 year old has been in prison for 15 years for a conviction based solely on witness IDs from a book of photos. Two of the three witnesses said in court they weren’t 100% sure their ID was correct. There was absolutely no other evidence linking him to the crime.

At this point, even if he is guilty I might feel like 15 years is a good sentence for a first time offender who was only 15 at the time of the crime.

The US needs this kind of law. With multiple people switching from Dem to Rep after elections are done, it really undermines the will of the people. Most of them didn’t vote for that specific person because they love that specific person. They voted for someone who represents their ideal government. So when that person does a 180, it should open them up to being kicked out by the party or put up for a special election.

How are we supposed to oppress people if we don’t have people to oppress?!?!

You’re telling me the country that doesn’t allow gay marriage, doesn’t allow adoption by gay couples, and criminalized couples leaving the country to get a surrogate baby (i.e. gay couples) has an issue with cops being homophobic?

And the country whose soccer fans regularly make monkey noises at black players has an issue with cops being racist?
