CRUSTY MINGE posted:Gizmodo: Man Presumed Dead After Tragic Mount Everest Cryptocurrency Stunt. quote:In an effort to promote their initial coin offering, the social media platform ASKfm sponsored four “crypto enthusiasts” on their climb of Mount Everest, so they could bury $50,000 worth of the company’s cryptocurrency, ASKT, at the peak. The team made it to the top on May 14. A promotional video encourages others to scale the mountain in search of the crypto wallet. That's some legit Saw poo poo right there, hiding loot in the death zone and tempting bigger idiots to their doom.

FYI the Democrats didn't gently caress up in California. I KNOW RIGHT https://twitter.com/JesseRodriguez/status/1004341848670957568?s=19 The potential problem was that in California, the top two candidates, regardless of party, advance to the general election. For a few districts, there were 2 Republicans and like 15 Democrats, where two Republicans could've advanced with zero Democrats advancing due to a split vote. The DCCC and local orgs did pretty good work to consolidate the votes right so there were zero freezeouts.

WA state has the same goddamn top 2 system and also that voter roll "error" smells super hinky as hell when people were supposed to be given provisional ballots if they weren't found on the rolls but SURPRISE that wasn't happening. So very shocking

They have State charges also leveled against him, it might work against the Federal charges, but from what they have on Manafort, it would take a LOT to get him off the hook, especially since he couldn't sit on his hands and decided to try witness tampering.

Hot Take: As much as I think the sentencing of Brock Turner was kinda bullshit, I'm not sure recalling judges for not sentencing people to enough jail is a great idea in the super prison-happy nation of the USA. I don't really want judges to be scared of looking soft, and thus just hammering people across the board. What's more problematic to me, regarding the Turner case, was this, wherein I am quoting the judge who in turn is quoting sentencing guidelines. quote:And so, for those – for those – evaluating those criteria in Rule 4.414, I find that both – chiefly, the facts related to the defendant, which I’ve talked about, which are favorable to the defendant support the decision to grant probation. And, again, it’s a balancing act. The advisory committee comment to Rule 4.414 is instructive. It states, [as read] “The decision whether to grant probation is normally based on an overall evaluation of the likelihood that the defendant will live successfully in the general community. Each criteria points to evidence that the likelihood of success is great or small. A single criteria will rarely be determinative. In most cases, the sentencing judge will have to balance favorable and unfavorable facts.” And that’s what I’ve – I tried to do here. The judge didn't create those sentencing guidelines, but it sure does lend itself to a judge, consciously or not, favoring probation for wealthy people, people with support networks, and probably white people. If the circumstances of the crime were identical in all ways, save that the defendant were a poor black guy without a lot of references to write letters about how awesome he was, maybe the judge wouldn't have judged that he was as likely to "live successfully in the general community." That's a problem, but again, the judge didn't write that guidance. I would sure like judges to think about race and class and whether they're unfairly using that to judge whether someone ought to be given leniency, crime aside. But even if judges lack that nuance or awareness of their own biases, I don't think the healthiest option is just scaring judges into throwing the book at everyone, lest they be perceived as soft on crime. One of the other complaints against this judge was that he was working the court schedule around defendant work/school schedules. That's pretty reasonable in most cases. And hell, if we're not going to let some rich kid at a fancy university to get court dates that align with work/school, what do you think the odds are that some poor person is going to be given even an ounce of leeway in scheduling court appearances around a job where they might just get fired for missing a scheduled shift?

He sentenced a rapist that was caught, mid rape, to 3 months. C'mon. The best part was where he lamented the damage this would do to Turner, and Turner's father came out and basically blamed the victim for being a whore. There is no excuse for the judge's sentencing. Sorry. https://heavy.com/news/2016/06/brock-turner-father-dad-dan-turner-full-letter-statement-stanford-rapist/ If this had been any other rapist, they'd throw the book at him. The EXACT issue with his ruling is that he tries to excuse the 'damage this will do to Turner's life', which is disgusting because Brock Turner didn't care what would happen to the victim, and simply excused it as 'She consented before passing out, so it was okay'.

I'd be willing to bet money that Persky wouldn't have been nearly as lenient to a rich white kid who went to Santa Clara University and did the same stuff. He's a Stanford graduate, and those people are all insane.

Tomi Lahren is an actual person that goes on TV. Jacob Wohl is just some dude that subtweets trump begging for a pardon and bill mitchell is an idiot who just tweets a lot. If they were regulars on fox n friends it would be a different story.

CommieGIR posted:He sentenced a rapist that was caught, mid rape, to 3 months. C'mon. He sentenced him to 6 months, which is in line with what the probation department's report (which if it's like my state is usually in depth and carries a lot of weight with the judge), and IIRC this judge had a history of being very progressive with his sentencing (i.e. being lenient and/or diversionary in general). gently caress Brock Turner and gently caress his sentence but I don't think it's fair to put all the weight of the failing of the criminal justice system on this judge and gently caress gently caress gently caress an elected judiciary for exactly this reason. Even if we want to give all the hate in the world to this judge adjudication by popular vote is loving terrible and the cure here is worse than the disease. This is 2 steps forward for #metoo and 10 steps back for criminal justice reform.

He's got to be prior enlisted, as an officer if you don't progress in rank you have to get out. There's no officer equivalent of riding out 14 years as an E6 to retirement.

In the Guard you need to be in a slot that requires that rank to get promoted, and you can also refuse promotion (for a time). His situation isn't too crazy especially if he's prior. Example: 1LT is promoted to CPT automatically, but can't pin CPT until he's in an MTOE slot that requires it. This is so we don't have O-3 XOs and such.
