Sounds like you could be pretty successful, right up until someone killed you with the pistols

“We shouldn’t have kings” doesn’t seem like a topic requiring a lot of debate

At this point presumably only if the detention was made by six unnamed agents of the Federal Bureau of Narcotics.

I just wondered if there was going to be a kind of “harmless error” attitude about it because they decide that the subsequent arrest by an actual police officer was valid.

Any possible civil remedies later?

They have articulated that these are only “temporary detentions” which rely on the rapid arrival of actual police to effect an arrest.
It’s bullshit, but that’s what the thought process for legality is

In line with Mike’s point above though, I’ve always interpreted “The Left” as a huge category incorporating everyone to the left of conservatives. Liberals, socialists, “leftists,” communists. They’re all on the left of the center line.

As SCOTUS said in Houston v. Hill: The "freedom of individuals verbally to oppose or challenge police action without thereby risking arrest is one of the principal characteristics by which we distinguish a free nation from a police state."

And Germany was only “posturing”’toward France from September 1939 until May 1940, right?

No. They’re legally incompetent, cover up for sexual harassment within their own ranks, and their only real goal is to get their name in the paper. We absolutely do not need them.

I have never tried one that was any good at all. I think it’s basically impossible to preserve something like that

What if I were able to tell you that this does include Rick Moranis coming out of retirement?

I think often about the Dragnet episode where Friday is likely to lose his job and maybe even face criminal charges because they know the guy he shot had a gun, but they can't prove it was fired. 1967! Compare to modern cops being excused for shooting someone with a phone they thought was a gun

Lizard, that's silly. If we learned anything from David Weber it's that miniaturizing power plants is best done with Grayson- style fisson, not fusion.

When questioned about it during the entrance he appeared not be to be capable of differentiating between Valjean and Javert, so I think it might be his favorite in the same sense that Two Corinthians is his favorite.

If he couldn’t handle taking up his sword against Virginia maybe he shouldn’t have sworn an oath to the United States.

We re-racked for 9 and the previous game’s Scarlet Woman played an absolute blinder of a bluff as the Empath. She was never once under suspicion. Threw her own Spy under the bus as exactly the right moment.

Scarlet Woman executed. “Empath” killed herself to try to jump ship, but we knew who the other minion was by then, so the now former Spy was executed the next night.
Actually worked out well because the Spy ended up having to leave early.

I HAD to check the Saint claim. Really the Scarlet Woman you say? And she was sitting next to a supposed Empath zero. In combo with a Chef one we really had things pretty well tied up. Final evil player, a Spy, slipped up on day two and asked me for my Ravenkeeper info before I’d said anything.

I’ll vote for Kelsey Grammar if he agrees to spend the entire four-year term in character as Frasier.

My county consistently stays in the top five in the country for rate of pedestrian/bicyclist deaths. I don't even consider myself safe on the road half the time, I can't let the kids wander around, though I otherwise have no objection on principle.

It shouldn't have been. Legislative "codification" of Roe is meaningless. The Court would have found a statute protecting abortion just as unconstitutional as they found Roe itself. The only way to protect abortion rights is to control the Court or pass an amendment.

@questauthority.bsky.social, a topic which combines several of your interests.

When I was a kid I woke up with one crawling on my chest. I was entirely too groggy to really process the feeling so it got a couple of stings off before I could shake it.

Maybe direct DOJ to go after him for drugs? Or perhaps Bondi will decide to do it herself just to please Trump?
