Would I be in favor of the CHUD-feared White Genocide if I was in favor of killing all white CHUDs as a policy? If so, then I guess I favor white genocide.

Just listening to a local AM talk radio show and gently caress if I didn't want to punch the guest (This fucker: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Michael_Caputo) right through the radio for his boo hoo hoo crocodile tears about "FBI using military equipment for the Stone raid, THIS COULD HAPPEN TO ANYONE, AMERICA! TAKE HEED!"

Dude, gently caress off and die. Where you been at? So now it's a problem because some cushy white rich gently caress was subjected to it? Go gently caress yourself with a police baton. No lube.

Sorry, I'm mad at my own race. Kill whitey and etc.

Guaido's going to end up dead, isn't he?

Because I don't see Maduro taking this poo poo lightly, especially when he's still has the loyalty of the military and a gaggle of Russian Spetsnaz-trained mercs at his right hand.

Trump doesn't care, Guaido's probably better dead as a martyr instead of a complicated living human being leading other complicated human protesters with their own goals.

Small town gets a mysterious offer from an unnamed private entity, and absolutely bends over backwards to ready their town for the flood of jobs and publicity, except nothing is actually signed or promised. The episode ends with speculation about what's really going on, which is basically getting confirmed in today's news.

Thanks for sharing this. Just got around to listening to it, and dear lord is it rage inducing. That village board leader deserves a never ending series of punches to the face.

Well no, not quite. The military loyalty is kinda in question since their currency is blowing up and the grunts aren't exactly getting paid well, everyone is starving literally, and from what I see, Russia is looting what they can before closing up shop.

This is largely why the administration has been trying to fight a subpoena with Mueller: they remember "slick willy" Clinton finally getting caught in a "perjury trap" and lying about Monica Lewinsky, which led to impeachment. And Trump is less self-aware of his own speech and actions than Clinton.

Ianal, but punitive damages means paying damages so you're punished, so you don't do it (again or in the first place). It's usually meant when the actual damages are small.

the DOJ can't indict a president according to its own opinions; the DOJ's intervention is not necessary for a state or federal judge to issue a contempt order

like, if you're called as a witness and you cuss out the judge and refuse to answer questions, she doesn't need approval from the us attorney or DA to throw you in jail or issue fines

e: to be clear, this won't happen. but you gotta file a motion to quash the subpoena if you want to avoid it, not just send plaintiff's counsel a letter saying "nah"

It's an unsettled argument.

The legal theory that says you can't is that the constitution says that the way to deal with a misbehaving president is impeachment, not the court system. Personally, I find that argument to be bullshit; it requires a kind of warped reading of the constitution and if you follow the argument to its logical conclusion carves out some odd exceptions that make the legal status of the president weird.

The real issue is the practical one where the president just pardon any federal offenses he commits. The fun part of that is since the District of Columbia is under the direct control of congress, any crime there is a federal offense. So Trump could start his State of the Union address by pulling out an AK-47 and gunning down the remaining liberal justices, then pardon himself for the action and not go to jail.

I was in the jury for a civil trial once and we kind of all factored in "don't do it again" punitive damages into our ruling. They read it out in court and the judge said, "Okay, now to the punitive phase of the trial." and we all groaned because we thought it was over. We had to listen to a list of the loser's assets and then go deliberate again. It sucked and if we'd known there were going to be a separate punitive phase, out initial award would probably have been lower.

The moral is always avoid serving on a jury.
