It just keeps getting worse. “It is not uncommon for individuals to… get hotel rooms… extending their stay day to day…and… for safes to be used” when visiting grandparents from out of state, or dealing drugs, probable cause, am I right? Oh, and throw in a criminal record, case closed!

I would like more information on his smell training. Did they give him a treat and ring a bell when he successfully identified drug doors? Also, this is clear proof that judges know nothing about lingering marijuana odor. The ODOR. Zero chance it was gone the next day if it ever really was there.

“No marijuana” in the room, and yet also “no reason to doubt the veracity” of the police officer’s sworn (conclusory) statement that he “successfully” tracked the odor specifically to a certain room. Where there was… no marijuana. Hmmm I think there’s a res ipsa-esqe reason to “doubt the veracity”

In other words, in NC, when parents leave their guns around kids, they are likely never charged. NC is an open carry state, buy without checks at a gun show state, attempting to become a concealed carry without a permit state. Good luck finding a NC prosecutor to file charges like in Michigan.

Since I live in NC, where this child was killed, and where we have nearly non-existent and always loosening gun-safety laws… it is not surprising to see such charges in Michigan, and other states with gun safety laws. NC is on a mission to arm as many toddlers as possible.

Didn’t the Republicans want the DOJ out of NC voting laws… like really recently? Didn’t they sue and go all the way to the SCOTUS to keep the DOJ out of voting laws in NC? Yes? Cool. cool cool cool cool.

This is definitely how Terminator starts. “coding is that delegating to AI can result in software that is opaque.” Codex is going to tell whatever human “sorry sir, this is for your own good” and then lock humans out. Make your kids watch movies so they don’t grow up and do this shit in real life.

Leaving aside his asinine assumptions about how people learn, what would he propose they teach in say, a political science course? How about international affairs, sociology, history, anthropology, and anything else that has been affected by humans?

Immediate first thought, “Come’n from the man show, now we here. Cool!” I love Jimmy’s story arc. This is an indeed a silly timeline in which we find ourselves.

I have been Target free since the news broke that they abandoned decency. I was feeling weak just a couple of days ago. I have few choices in rural NC but I drive 60 extra miles to a CostCo now. Thank you for the reminder, strength renewed.

Moreover, the world knew it. The French definitely knew it. The Vichy government participated in the expulsion of Jewish people from France. The Vichy government enjoyed popular support and assisted in committed genocide. These are not secrets. They did it in the open. Not different here.

That’s not at all accurate. That’s horribly distorted manipulation of historical facts. Google it. It was not a secret. www.theguardian.com/uk/2001/feb/...

They did not keep them secret. They even had a “show camp.” They let the Red Cross come and “inspect” so the world would see what good care they took of the “residents.” Theresienstadt Concentration Camp (often referred to as Terezin). When the IRC left, the residents were sent to the death camps.

Kind of like their the Red Cross visited Theresienstadt Concentration Camp (often referred to as Terezin) in 1944. The Nazis dressed it up, showed them how well the “residents” were treated. So the IRC went back to tell the world that the Nazis weren’t so bad. This is that.

They forgot to cite their source for their reference to a definition of “facilitate… in the immigration context.”

Following the affiant’s “logic” made my brain hurt, as I am sure it was intended. The part about being subject to remove because of MS-13 status, knowing no judge, administrative or not, has adjudicated anything regarding his status since 2019 is painful in my brain.

Question? Does Wall Street consider his social media rantings defacto executive orders? Has he signed an EO raising/pausing/hinting tariffs every time he has flung about online? Or is Wall Street catapulting back and forth because a social rant *might end up as an EO/tariff? Or all of the above?

I am woefully illiterate to nearly this entire thread. My last computer science class was C++ in 2000. Thank you for the clarification and encouragement to learn more.

I saw a blurb or headline about some lawyers using made up case law, thought, “idiots” and kept moving. Didn’t read the article. Shady lawyers doing shady lawyer shit.
comment in response to

Trying to follow this thread and “case law” is about the only phrase where I thought “I KNOW THAT ONE!” But now I am not sure if your reference to “case law” is a code term of art or of my world, based in common law meets codified law.

There were several other athletes also spending their post-game time signing their names and taking photos. There was something special about Trinity making the effort to speak to every single person who waited for her. I hope she plays with joy for 100 years.
-grateful mom, coach, fan

By giving them her time. She took photos, talked, gave every single person a moment of her time and created life long fans, not just of her but for women’s soccer and women’s sports. Before we could leave the WRAL soccer park last season the girls were planning their next match.

This young woman is amazing. She will literally spend all night signing autographs, jerseys, shirts, hats, hands, pieces of paper, taking photos and literally giving away her boots, shin guards, trading her jersey for a cool fan shirt. I watched her create super fans out of five 12 year old girls…

And more often than not, those years are midterm election years, when democrats have historically lower turnouts. Since state legislatures get to draw the voting maps, and republicans have been in control of the NC general assembly in 2010 and 2020, our districts look more and more like spaghetti 🍝
comment in response to
post
I hope the same. I just try to take opportunities to call attention to how important voting is in every election. Our gerrymandered districts are the result of census data, based off of population counts from 10’s years and, the party that wins the election in that year gets to draw districts.
comment in response to
post
We are gerrymandered within an inch of our life here. NC elected entirely Democratic executive level positions (except the state auditor) and yet the Republicans are one seat shy of a super majority in the General Assembly. It’s not great, but our reps are not representative of the population.

Also hard to say it’s 9-0. It’s unsigned with not dissents filed. Doesn’t mean it’s 9-0. It just means if there was a dissenting Justice, s/he did not want to do so publicly.

No. SCOTUS decision addressed the temporary stay, “did not address the merits of the underlying claims,” but did discuss jurisdiction being proper in Texas because habeas jurisdiction = physical location of said person. Still question as to jurisd. for those now held in foreign prison.

I became a paying subscriber to Wired two months ago. It was my first paid subscription since canceling the WaPo last year. I could not be happier to financially support publications such as Wired. Protect the free and independent press! Protect the Fourth Branch!

Then call them young adults. Their prefrontal cortexes are still incubating, but calling them kids or children absolves them of culpability. These young adults are making grown adult choices. I hope they have appropriate consequences. Because I fear the monsters they will become if not.

This is a description of a federal employee? With a MAGA hat on his federal employee desk? At his federal duty station in a federal building? I guess the Hatch Act doesn’t matter anymore anyway.

Am I reading this correctly, the DOJ’s (and Alito’s) position is that sovereign immunity bars a government contractor from bring suit in federal court to enforce a valid contract? WTAF?!?!?! No one would EVER do business with the US government again. Ever. I say again, WTAF!?!?!?!
