Seeing a president saying how bad the FBI is only when they go after his criminal compatriots is funnier. They should have gone all Ruby Ridge on his russian loving rear end.

�I have good insurance and I love it�

Actually I�m pretty happy with tricare. It�s like 1/4 the price of my old civilian insurance and everything is cheaper for my family. No real issue finding places that take it.

This probably not what they want to hear about a government run entity.

Healthcare should not be a for-profit industry. It should be treated like national defense. An onerous but necessary function for the well being of the country.

I mean felony drunk driving (for non-accident/injury cases) doesn't seem to really deter people since "XXXX man arrested for 8th offense DUI" is a pretty common local story.

I�m good with your second offense being a felony on DUI. You obviously can�t be trusted in society to not drive a giant death machine impaired.
As for the child support lol lock those fuckers up. My �father� never payed a dime and just started new families and worked under the table. My cousins �father� stopped working and became a drug dealer/pimp so he wouldn�t have to pay child support. Both were physically abusive assholes who managed to slip out of domestic abuse charges. Simple nonpayment and go to prison would be so much better to get rid of the true shitstains.

There should never be a time where they�re sent to prison, a court can take whatever assets the deadbeat has. If there are no assets then sending them to prison makes things worse

Lol assets. I don�t think you�ve ever personally dealt with the type of guy this would affect. Freedom is the only thing they care about. Power over women by parental rights gets them off.

a great example of what? He is facing life in prison and the threat of jail obviously did not deter his crimes even though he had a ton to lose. If anything it speaks to how little prison sentences serve to deter crime.

Behind on child support means some sort of payment is being done.

Actively avoiding any payment is different.

Have no idea how that connects to school guards.

Maybe some of us view this news as a welcome distraction from the unending misery that is life and a brief moment of marvel at the engineering achievement coupled with an animistic sadness at the end of Opportunity's mission offers us a respite from the knowledge the world may very well stop being capable of supporting human life during our lifetimes.

The fact that people are so eager to latch onto an anonymous and (as yet) unconfirmed source saying the incident was faked is pretty hosed up.

Just like the pee tapes right? We want to believe the highest person in office is compromised by Russians and that it will come to light.
I want to believe his tale is true but it's so outlandish for the location and time frame. If his alleged event proves false he will basically be a giant fuel bomb for the far right.
It would cause more damage than our president having an affair with a pornstar while his wife is home recovering from childbirth.

Refusal to pay vs being behind to pay are light years apart. But I dont expect you to pick up the small details like that. Apparently it sounded perfectly normal for a black dude to be recognized by a bunch of red necks ready and equipped to commit a hate crime in down town Chicago. That's really only something cops can get away with there.

Bored As gently caress posted:

This is always a thing. People latch on to whatever confirms they're already preconceived notions or biases. Whenever a school shooting happens, liberals call for gun control. They call for gun control even though the investigation hasn't even begun. Most of the time it turns out that the guy either had the guns legally and passed background checks, or, he had the guns illegally. Or, because of some gently caress ups by either the FBI /NICS, or because the local PD or Sheriff's Department or the state didn't send the required information to NICS, allowing the bastard to pass a background check. Or because a tip about the person being suspicious or dangerous wasn't followed up by PD.

Conservatives on the other hand latch onto any story that fits their view that Muslim terrorists are overtaking the country. Look at how they reacted when the San Bernardino terror attack happened. Complete overreactions, calls for Muslim bands, etc etc.

When people of color are hurt or killed in officer involved shootings, BLM and many in the left immediately come out condemning the police. Conservatives and MAGA chuds come out and say thinly veiled or not even veiled racist poo poo like "thug deserved it." All before the investigation has even begun, before body cam footage is out. Most of the time body cam footage shows it was a justified and legal use of deadly force. Liberals and BLM still say it's bullshit. Sometimes body cam footage and/or other evidence shows it was straight up murder. Conservatives are silent.

People are always biased and they will immediately cite anything that confirms their biases, even before all the facts are in, and often even after the facts are in.

People are lovely.
