Kawasaki Nun posted:Jeez y'all she got convicted no need to wish further harm on her. Being a cop in jail is probably gonna be pretty loving unbearable, even without the guilt of having murdered an innocent man. I'll be convinced when she doesn't get the minimum sentence, isn't put in the best possible prison conditions, and isn't released the moment parole becomes available. And what in the world makes you think she feels guilty for a moment? That she cried when she found out she would be punished?

Hexyflexy posted:I can give anyone some useful life advice, never, ever, work for some startup in silicon valley. They're all insane, I did it contracting from the UK for 2 years and jesus, you can feel palpably how the entire system is going to implode. I'm now happily designing actual physical things with a company that isn't going to evaporate 5 seconds after I stop paying attention. And if you do work for a tech startup, never give up cash pay for stock options. Basically treat them as bonuses paid in lottery tickets.

Crakkerjakk posted:Trump has the highest approval within his own party of any president since FDR, IIRC. It wasn't as extreme because of the media environment, but Nixon was also overwhelmingly supported by Republicans ... until he wasn't. They will memory hole him if it becomes necessary, and every idiot Trump supporter will find some excuse to vote R anyway.

EBB posted:It seems like there was a brief window in history where things were dire enough that throwing men out of airplanes was preferable to defeat by fascism. It was also not even close to the strangest idea to come out of that war. Where do parachutists fit in with a modern military anyway? If things are so dire that we can't land planes to unload soldiers, would light infantry have any survavibility? Or are they the ones taking runways and such so the heavier equipment can follow?

Hah, looks like the last time we bothered to drop paras was in Iraq, and there were already ground forces at the target. I assume someone insisted so they could pretend to be useful?

Proud Christian Mom posted:Except the Democrats havent done poo poo for the poor lately which is the entire reason we're here. We are working in a two party system, and Democrats' policies are better for a large, large majority of the country. A whole bunch of poor/not rich people are voting for the party who actively works to hurt them instead of the party that simply doesn't care about them because of some combination of racism, misogyny, and spite. mlmp08 posted:It is a direct right wing talking point to say that voting for Democrats is bad for poor people. In practice, poor voters generally vote for democrats (not rural poor, but the poor in general). This is a good point, while Republicans point to Democrats as the party of the "elite", Republicans on average are wealthier and earn more. But there's just something there that causes poor whites, especially men, to vote for Republicans. Wonder what it is....

Hexyflexy posted:It's because he wasn't really the problem, he was a dumbass bastard but not the prime mover. That was Rumsfeld and Cheney. Dick Cheney is a man that's so evil, despite him being in power 20 years ago I still can't understand what in the name of hell he wanted to do. Even if it was just out of political expediency, don't forget that Bush was vocally anti gay rights, campaigned on a constitutional ban on gay marriage, etc. That seems awkward considering Ellen's activism stretching back to that era.

To be fair, it would probably be just fine if no over the age of 25 was allowed in a discussion about whether we should go to war. Even if it was just the males.

Chichevache posted:Yes, men age 18-25 should make decisions that are monumentally important to human life and could result in the deaths of millions. Obviously it was tongue in cheek, but it turns out the assumptions were faulty too. Based on popular perception I assumed that younger people would be the least likely to be pro-war, but at least in the case of Iraq they were the strongest supporters in 2002 and 2003.

Remember when Trump said he could kill a person on Fifth Avenue and no one would care? What if it was Picadilly? https://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/americas/us-politics/trump-harry-dunn-anne-sacoolas-car-crash-us-diplomat-uk-a9149746.html quote:Donald Trump has defended the wife of a US diplomat who killed a British teenager in a road accident, suggesting it is difficult to drive on the other side of the road and that "we've all done it".

Bored As gently caress posted:The intent does matter in the eyes of The Hague, though. If you don't really give a poo poo whether you make a "mistake" when planning things, resist to no end the idea that you might have made a "mistake" when someone calls you out, and more recently stop bothering to track whether the "mistakes" are even happening, I don't think you get to keep pointing to intent as a defense. I wouldn't put up the US's body count of innocents over the last couple decades against anybody, by the way. It's six or seven figures easily, not a ton of players in that league.

Not to mention that means testing adds significant administrative costs to programs, and stigmatizes them as something for poor people. It would be much simpler, for example, to just give everyone food stamps.

I'm more surprised that doesn't happen more in the US, given how many people we've cycled through the forever wars. Ditto for how little judges and prosecutors are targeted when they give out multi decade sentences like candy.
