Oh we know what is going on already. The court has been stacked in a way that usually favors corporate and authoritarian interests, with justices frequently receiving gifts that aren’t always disclosed.

Say what you will about the American education system, but I know it’s a 1/4 lb burgers because you could get close(ish) to 200 lbs of meat from a deer if you were lucky in Oregon Trail.

Now, now, this isn’t Texas.

It’d be used as pretense to escalate police response.

They have been for a while. Weren’t there incidents a couple months ago with former IOF members using military-grade pepper spray on protesters.

Yes all those people draining billions every year giving nothing any keeping the money.

You’re taking about corporate welfare too, right?

Not the movie that caused it, but during either the first or second Tobey McGuire Spider Man movie there is a scene where Peter tells Aunt May he is responsible for Uncle Ben’s death. Right during this dramatic scene in the theater a kid said pretty loudly (but not quite yelling) “I have to go poop!” Quite of a few of us burst out laughing during this heavy scene.

Can’t wait for “we are locking you up until you confess”

We already have that, it’s called not being rich and white.

People get strong-armed into confessing all the time. I personally know some one who confessed to arson they didn’t commit, forced to pay restitution, and serve time in a juvenile facility on the weekends.

Why would they confess to something they didn’t do? I asked the same thing from a mutual friend. It turns out they were feeling a lot of pressure because one parent had died and the other one would be left alone if he they were convicted and sent to jail. The plea deal made it plausible to love a semi-normal life.

This person isn’t alone. I’ve met someone else who pled to (as far as I know fictitious) child abuse claims from an ex-spouse to stay out of prison.

It happens all the time.

It’s not about hate, it’s about a lizard’s right to have seven children, disown them but still allow them to work for you under your new kid who mysteriously disappears and is replaced by another child you call JR (despite one of your first seven having JR in his name but sharing the rest of your name.)
