Here's another entry into a weird car wreck. Saw this in the morning and figured it was a Donnie true believer wrecking the Colorado Supreme Court, but nope!

https://www.denverpost.com/2024/01/02/colorado-supreme-court-breakin-denver-police/

Looks like a dude wrecked in the neighborhood, then threatened the other wrecked car with a gun. Then he went into a nearby building, which just so happened to be the supreme court building, held up a guard for the keys, then went in and hosed poo poo up for some reason. Even shot out the window at the cops! ... Then surrendered. A weird one.

i mean, without diesel subsidies, its going to raise food prices and thats something an idiot can grasp. an idiot cannot grasp the idea of the world dying, so obviously theres going to be a disproportionate reaction from the idiots

wow so monopolies = bad??

obviously this affects corporate farms but not all farms are corporate farms and not all farmers are land barons. and who do you think would be most affected by losing subsidies, the big corporations or whomever the german version of cleetus just tryin to feed his 37 kids is?

im not sure how it works in germany, but in canada, the only way a farmer is making bank is if they sell their land to a developer, which leaves fewer independent farms and allows the space for giant agri-corps to form and have even more control over your food supply

So follows that Germans (at least the ones I knew) are very supportive of the farming industry:

I suspect this stems from the current budget crisis, but I might be wrong. The government tried to reallocate unused COVID funds to plug a budget deficit only to have this swatted down by the supreme court. The German constitution effectively prohibits the government from running a deficit (Germans are allergic to debt, along with noise and modern technology) and so they're having to slash and burn a lot of spending.

Trump's attorneys are currently arguing in the DC circuit court that if a president ordered an assassination of a political rival that they should be immune from that after they leave office.

Lawyer sounds like he forgot he had a book report due today and is stumbling through the presentation.

For the lawyers in here, is it normal to not bother capitalizing when communicating with courts/judges? I can't imagine sending an external professional e-mail that looked like this.

https://www.glad.org/new-hampshire-house-passes-two-bills-attacking-lgbtq-rights-lgbtq-public-education-and-child-welfare-advocates-respond/

The New Hampshire House of Representatives today voted on four bills relating to LGBTQ+ rights, and for every bill, voted against protecting LGBTQ+ rights.

Two of the bills (HB 368 and HB 264), positive measures that would have streamlined affirmative birth certification and protected LGBTQ+ youth seeking certain health care in New Hampshire, failed. The other two bills (HB 396 and HB 619), dangerous attacks on LGBTQ+ rights, passed and are being sent to the New Hampshire Senate. These two bills would undermine the right to equal protection under the law for LGBTQ+ people by giving a license to discriminate against and segregate LGBTQ+ people in schools and other settings, as well as make it more difficult for trans teenagers and their families to access appropriate health services supported by every major medical association.

Senate Bill 197, which was introduced Wednesday, prohibits obscene matter from being within 2,500 feet of a public school building or facility. Obscene materials are defined as something that is sexually explicit “in a patently offensive way” or something that “lacks serious literary, artistic, political, or scientific value.”

Wouldn't getting called up for federal service actually be better for them? I thought I remembered hearing that the Guard gets hosed over in a bunch of ways when on state duty, especially in Texas where Abbot's been calling them up for extra long extended border duty.

There are circumstances where an attack with a stuffed animal warrants lethal force. But it should still be the last option on the list, especially when there’s no imminent need to make an immediate decision.

That's not what I'm saying, I'm saying getting someone who's been otherwise straightedge to be high off their rear end in bootcamp is not a good idea; they're going to remember it.

The reason you can't get a doc to prescribe opiates now, is because they caused an abuse epidemic by hanging them out like candy in the past two decades.
