no. no it did not.

also the “victim” being a broken-dick fuckwit didn’t really help either.

I dunno.

what’s fun about MrHamSandwhich was that it was jury nullification. They didn’t even argue he didn’t do it.

3rd time isn’t apparently not the charm

Apparently she ran out of people willing to shake her hand.

In the raccoon’s defense, he was just trying to give the man CPR.

Getting rid of public acknowledgement about class disparity isn’t going to get rid of class disparity,

that article isn’t recognizing class disparity, though. it’s perpetuating and normalizing it. and yes, the people that are bigots are absolutely also part of the problem. the media is complicit in that, though, including that article.

and they exist, in large part, because articles like this normalize it.

congratulations in defending part of the problem.

And in making that argument, it signals to the racist assholes that the problem being that she’s white, blonde and professional, and therefore the rest are fair game.

which as you say, erodes everyone’s rights. But that’s not particularly important to me. the rights of all are worth protecting even if that weren’t true.

Uhg. FTA:

“She is visible white and 👱 blond, a medical worker, speaks with no accent. This should be a warning sign for MAGAt as they could be preyed by ICE at any time!”

None of that is a reason to believe she’s not an undocumented immigrant. And being brown, curly-haired, not-a-medical-worker is not any reason to believe they’re an undocumented immigrant.

Is this objectionable behavior by ICE? absolutely. But not because of who the victim is. but because there IS a victim. everyone in this country is protected by the constitution, and afforded the rights of due process- which ICE is flagrantly violating the shit out of.

Can we please stop with the special classes of people like this?

Exactly.

She used a shitty source (and probably nothing else.)

Even if you say psychology is a wishy-washy science, it’s still science. The teacher failed her for not providing empirical evidence based on proper studies. The student is going to have a hard time of it, if her only response is to scream persecution. (And yes, that’s exactly what’s going on here.)

“Freedom of speech” is bullshit. She got to say what she wanted, and now she gets to get the grade she deserves.

FTA:

A psychology student at the University of Oklahoma says the failing grade she received on an essay where she cited the Bible was a violation of her right to free speech. Her instructors said she failed to use empirical evidence and called parts of her essay offensive.

In her essay, which was in response to an article about how people are perceived based on societal expectations of gender, junior Samantha Fulnecky wrote that traditional gender roles should not be considered stereotypes, according to an earlier Oklahoman report. She cited the Bible to support her stance that eliminating gender in society would be “detrimental” because that would put people “farther from God’s original plan for humans.”

It’s psychology, not religious studies. She got a failing grade because she said thing and used a shitty source to back it up. Psychology is not religious studies.

This is funny because he once argued to get rid of the jet because people abused it

I like how the DHS account was from Israel.

it could be both, really.

That she’s in it for the grift AND is being threatened.

“you’re ignoring what this member of congress said!”

the congresswoman said “You don’t have to obey illegal orders.”

leavet goes onto say “She’s telling people to defy legal orders”.

I don’t believe aliens have ever come to earth, but reptilians in fleshsuits would explain a lot of what’s going on just now.

they don’t like Boasberg because Boasberg has red the constitution a time or two.

Considering that, apparently, Halligan told the grand jury that there would be more evidence next week and to indict on that.

I get the need for secrecy here, but seriously, we need someone in the room keeping not-legally-appointed prosecutors from just straight up abusing the trust they’ve been given.

To be fair to Harris, it really wasn’t her fault. At the time Biden stepped down it was far too late to have a proper primary.

Probably by the design of the donor class.

First and foremost.

Let’s get one thing absolutely and crystal clear.

Politics is absolutely fucking not a fucking game and fuck you for callously saying it is.

40 million Americans are facing food insecurity because of this attitude.

24 million more will see their healthcare costs go up. Because of this attitude.

I could list a rather shocking amount of absolute and unmitigated shit that is happening right now, because of this attitude.

Making offers you know are nonstarters isn’t negotiating. Especially offers that are largely unacceptable to your base. Fucking around with the lived and wellbeing of everyone here is not appropriate.

It was also unnecessary. Most of us realize that republicans are in control and that they could end the shut down with everything they wanted any time they want. (Also, could have stopped it from happening.)

Also, why would you trust a man that convinced the House to hold out, promising to vote against cloture the last time, only then to backstab everyone and vote for cloture?

There is no reason to; and he’s lost control of the democrat senators. As for last nights no-vote, I was somewhat relieved until certain of the other senators came out saying he approved it or whatever.

Not that I outright believe it, but it does suggest he knew they were turning rogue. Maybe one shouldn’t bullshit with things that won’t get accepted instead of shoring up the party unity.

(Maybe he should have endorsed Mamdani, too, for that matter.)

Well for one thing, I do admit when I’m wrong.

You’re full of shit, so I assume it’s all projection.

Furthermore, this attempt at negotiating and compromise signals an intent to… you know… compromise…. With people that haven’t actually compromised in 20 years.

Which, if you have not been paying attention, is how we’ve come to be here.

Yeah, I have no reason to believe Schumer is going to do the right thing here, either.
