I feel like “government caused wrongful death” should have a pre-defined universal payout that is way more expensive than desperately trying to keep a person alive. Like $30 million or something like that.

And prosecuting everyone who collaborated with ICE. “Just following orders” is not a valid excuse, and they are breaking the law.

Sounds bad

It would honestly be more reasonable to accuse her of funding Hamas than being funded by them

Man maybe you should stop supporting them then

It is a good idea to flee a sinking ship

This is extra true given that lawyers are overwhelmingly wealthy assholes who shouldn’t be anywhere near power. I’d rather fill the judiciary with a random selection of homeless people than a random selection of lawyers, and in practice we select worse than random from the lawyers.

Ngl I kinda unironically agree with this, except that they’re using it for evil not for good

There is no law requiring that judges be lawyers, and in fact I kind of think it’s a conflict of interest outside of maybe the lowest level judges. I don’t want judges who know the law, I want judges with strong morals. I want judges who understand the spirit of the law more than the letter of it.

This becomes more true the higher you go. Supreme Court Justices should absolutely have no prior experience with law aside from activism to change laws or perhaps having been in prison.

Being a judge is not a technical job that requires knowledge of the law, it is a position of political power. By the nature of our Common Law system, judges do not simply apply the law, they create it by its enforcement. IMO deep knowledge of the law is a detriment to your ability to create it. Trump has really shown this: Don’t check if shit’s “legal” before you do it, just do it, hope for the best, fight if people try to stop you.

Idk that I’ll go that far

Admitting to acts of war you aren’t even doing might be somehow worse and dumber than actually doing them

It’s the biggest difference between the US and UK, the UK is so committed to austerity they even defund the cops and the military.

As Riley on Trashfuture has said, they’re fully committed to winding down the British State as a going concern.

Hey uh you’re not supposed to say that publicly? You do know that cyberattacks are considered an act of war right? And you’re not at war with Russia or China? Do you know that John? It’s important to me that you know that.

Yeah I know it’s not Chinese people’s fault, not suggesting that, just felt annoyed how these people were advocating against their own interests and encouraging a future like this cause they thought they had a good shot at joining club honky.

It’s the same as when I see Hindu nationalists acting like because they’re also racist white people will see them as white. No man, they’re putting you right in line behind the Pakistanis and in fact can’t tell the difference between you.

So the same incredibly reasonable demand he’s had since before Russia’s entry into the war?

Yeah normal unemployment statistics are completely worthless. Example of someone I know, someone with a PhD in a medical research field who’s working 15 hours at minimum wage a week should not be counted as employed

“Nearly every” person who has ever served in the IDF should be executed for war crimes

Oh fuck that’s “nearly every” Israeli

Apparently “cretinism” is a physical and mental disability caused by iodine deficiency

Related, if you have a Nintendo Wii but have lost the “sensor bar” you can place two candles the correct distance apart and they work as a replacement. The “sensor bar” doesn’t actually sense shit, it’s just 2 IR projectors that the controllers are able to look at and orient themselves

Do I trust these people to be in charge of this? No of course not but I also don’t trust them to be in charge of the coal power plants they’re already running, it’s really hard to meltdown a reactor these days and hey at least Chernobyl is localized and isn’t boiling the whole planet

Reasons for this are many but mostly scientific illiteracy and unreasonable fears about nuclear power, and connection and confusion between nuclear power and nuclear weapons.
