unzi- oh. No, a different thing… Never mind… Got a little excited about something… Nevermind. Zip

You’re not wrong, but you’re not thinking like a shithead DA.

Rat poison was taken from the floor and added to the food of a police officer. We don’t know who exactly did it, but everyone in the kitchen could reasonably have known it was happening and did nothing to stop it, and therefore is guilty of felony murder.

Again, the DA doesn’t need to be right, they just need to convince a grand jury that there’s a chance they’re right, then they force the accused in to a plea deal. Because these are kitchen guys, they don’t make much money, so they’ll be using a public defender who will likely tell them they’re going to prison, and the best thing they can do is plea out.

Evil is a nebulous term that can be applied by anyone to anything.

Similarly, calling them vile disgusting filth doesn’t work, as it could be used by members of ICE to describe the innocent men women and children they abuse.

We need a term that satisfies several criteria.

It must be true, in so far that it is inarguably applicable to any member of ICE.

It must be understandable at a 5th grade reading level, because this is America and that’s as good as most of his supporters can manage.

And it must not be applicable to the victims. Therefore the term cannot be purely emotional. But evoking an emotional response is kind of the goal.

Idk how about Genocide Squads?

Realistically, all of them would be considered guilty of the crime by simply being in the kitchen when it happened.

A conviction hungry DA would use the same laws that apply murder charges to the guy who drove the car. If it happened, and you could have theoretically known it was going to happen, and you still participated in any conceivable way, you also legally committed the crime.

This is one of the many ways this country persecutes black and brown people to feed the prison labor industry.

The chair is far too peaceful an option

We just need to send Pete Hegseth to the UN with a little vial of enough fentanyl to kill a handful of horses.

Bonus, make it real fentanyl and he probably won’t make it out of the bathroom alive.

The CIA was highly active in Tibet from the 1950s through the 70s. The current Dalai Lama absolutely worked with the CIA at one point. Whether that relationship is ongoing is unclear, but he is closer to the US and her allies than he is to China.

She would have lost to a moldy ham sandwich.

This is called a Tullock spike, though other economists came to the conclusion that it would have an inverse to the desired effect. Where safe, law abiding drivers would have the danger car while those who don’t care would find a way to bypass the mechanism and continue to drive recklessly. Thereby resulting in more injuries for the drivers you don’t actually want to injure.

The crumple zone is to slow the car down so the occupants don’t get tossed forward as hard.

It has nothing to do with the engine block. That has its own safety system to push it under the car instead of back in to the cab.

I’m willing to bet that the design of modern trucks is killing more pedestrians than seat belts are. But go off.

The source of that claim seems to be a single article written in 1985, and has absolutely no data to support the claim that feeling safer so driving more dangerously is the actual cause, but states it as fact nonetheless.

That’s true in other countries too. Or a bmw.

Listen, I understand what you’re saying. I can even sympathize with your position a bit.

A few things, first, the right wing extremists do not care about facts, accuracy, or verifiability. They hear what they agree with and hoot and holler. The people who understand the game know this, and may offer some kind of source knowing that their audience is going to do absolutely no due diligence in verifying their claims. (See: Prager U)

As a result, they can, and will, spew the most vile lies they think will be even remotely believable and this does not hurt their credibility with their audience. And, this is a real threat, more people are being radicalized every single day.

Again, the people that understand the game know that the more egregious the lie, the more time we have to spend explaining why it’s wrong. And the people they’re trying to reach likely aren’t going to listen. Because it’s not a logical response they’re looking for, it’s an emotional one.

What you’re doing is a form of devil’s advocacy. It’s not as constructive as I think you’re trying to be. Again, I get it. I’ve said the exact same things you’re saying. We left that world behind a long time ago. The time for rational, reasoned debate was before dollar store Mussolini was elected the first time. Honestly it was before Obama was dragged by the media for Dijon and a tan suit.

We don’t live in a world where what you’re arguing for matters anymore.

Racist fucks do not need a devil’s advocate

I’m going to grease up the blade ways

Don’t say that.

People constantly telling him that nobody likes him is how we got this megalomanic asshole in the first place. Like before he stole the idea for PayPal and was just getting in random fist fights with his brother, everybody seemed to hate him.

So like, it’s true, but Jesus keep it down. He’s probably got a ghost profile on Lemmy and uses it to virtually suck his own dick because it can’t be done physically anymore.

All of the above Pat.

In very real terms, maga mothers, and mothers who don’t know any better will likely suffer needlessly and give birth to children who will never emotionally mature. My wife’s doctor at least made it very clear that they’re still recommending Tylenol. But that won’t be all doctors.

For instance, the correlation between Tylenol and autism.

Because there is a correlation. Tylenol is shown to be the most effective tool for combating fevers during pregnancy. And as it happens a high fever during pregnancy is also correlated with an increased incidence of autism. And since that was true prior to Tylenol existing, I’m sure if either of them has anything to do with it, it’s the fever.

DRINK WATER.

that will be the worst hangover. Drink a lot of water with that.
