FrozenVent posted:Can’t you charge someone for both at once? Or one after the other? If they beat a murder charge you don't get to just change it to manslaughter and try again. There are ways that the jury could convict on manslaughter instead of murder, but I don't know how the laws are written in TX so that might not be an option there.

I’m always incredulous to think it’s what everyone really believes on here, and they’re sort of rolling with the punches? I mean, going by the vets/mil on my fb feed where it’s 95% of the above.

Fister Roboto posted:Nobody's trying to gently caress him over. Calling out bad behavior doesn't mean you're trying to ruin someone's life, and again, the fact that it keeps getting framed that way is a huge part of the problem. I dunno, taking stories like that to the press years later seems pretty aggressive/unnecessary. What else are you after in that situation? This (probably) isn't a Cosby situation.

mlmp08 posted:Are you defensive of NgDT in particular or do you assume women generally are liars and try to ruin lots of men? This situation in particular feels like bullshit. So far the credible stories are that he was a little creepy touching a woman's shoulder, and a woman thought he hit on her. This is news. Yeah, I'm a fan of NDT. I listen to his podcast, where he CONSTANTLY features successful women in a wide variety of STEM fields and other careers, champions letting girls ask questions/get curious/think critically instead of shoehorning them into "traditional" roles. The idea that he's a serial predator just doesn't fit with the persona that the guy has put on display for the past couple of decades. Can someone pull off a lie like that? Absolutely - Cosby did it. But those stories started off far worse than these. And once they gained traction, they came flowing out of the shadows rapidly. That's not happening here. All we have are a couple of weird moments and one dubious claim. If we start seeing credible complaints (like with Cosby and Kavanaugh) then I'm certainly not going to defend against them. I'm a big fan of actually investigating this poo poo when these complaints are made. But the first two...I don't know what there is to investigate. His explanation sounds reasonable, and lines up pretty well with the original stories I saw about it. The other one...if someone thinks there's enough credence there to investigate, ok. If they actually FIND something, ok. I don't think that's how it would shake out, but I'm not willing to bet my paycheck on it.

orange juche posted:Sorry but bump stocks for semi-auto rifles and "Wrist braces" for AR pistols are literally just horseshit and both should be banned imo. Personally I wouldn't have a problem with this, but the way we're enforcing gun laws is that it's the loving ATF deciding what's what, not actually relying on a written law (except as the law gives them room to decide what's what). And any charge by the Democrats to actually get something in writing is going to be led by people who openly support gun bans and the like, so it'll be a non-starter. Actually getting reasonable gun control codified is next to impossible because neither side is interested in it. orange juche posted:Noone ever asked him the question "What if you win?" He's probably already forgot about all that and honestly believes its his destiny to be the biggliest bestiest president ever which he of course is and is proving it every day despite the fake news media and witch hunt.

The senate is supposed to be semi- to professional statesmen balancing a lookout for the nation as a whole and their specific state, vs the representatives that are aimed more towards their local districts. It's all fun and games trying to pick the version that supports you today, when you keep forgetting that demographics do shift from time to time.

Edit: ^ Stultus Maximus posted:I still think gerrymandering and the non-democratic Senate and EC are worse regarding this. Really? I get why people (most of whom live in large metros) hate the EC, but the senate is supposed to be slower to react to change. That's a feature, not a bug. The problem is that most of the senate is horrifically corrupt and openly for sale. Publicly financed campaigns (and harsh penalties for the donation equivalent of a straw purchase) would drastically reduce the impact of the campaign donors that have been writing our legislation for the past few years. The senate hasn't always been this broken, it was a slow descent until it went off the loving cliff after Right to Life and Citizens United. As Nero Danced posted:Another new rule: when the government shuts down, mandatory call of the house. Every representative must report to the capitol under threat of arrest until a new budget is adopted. Then bar the doors. They can only leave when they do their job. I like this.

psydude posted:No, I mean Australian businesses can charge a fee on each credit card transaction over the MSRP of the product or service. I think it's something like 1.8%. Ah ok. I think it's typically just absorbed (or factored into prices) by businesses in the US, because the card companies do charge the processing fee. Although a lot of gas stations do have a card price and a (lower) cash price. Wingnut Ninja posted:Worth mentioning that if you're lol still in, American Express platinum card is free (they refund the annual fee) and has a ton of nice freebies like airport lounge access and $15 Uber credit every month.
