@Jonny_Fairways @DuBoseDefense "It's subjective" doesn't strike you as a problem? What you *could* believe is not a legal standard.

@DuBoseDefense Glassy is more subjective anyway... and from the body cam I could believe the officer believed they were glassy.
Even so, it's pollen season, my eyes are probably 'glassy' all month

Oh boy do we have a lot to discuss. I’ve represented about 100 people charged with DWI. 78% of those cases have been dismissed. Tiger in this video is among the least intoxicated I’ve seen on a body cam. He’s cogent and responsive. The officer administering the HGN has no idea what she’s doing. Violates every rule in the NHTSA manual. He also does not appear to be slurring his words.

🚨 BREAKING: Martin County Sheriff’s Office just released the full bodycam footage from Tiger Woods’ latest crash. Woods failed the field sobriety test and was found with two prescription hydrocodone pills in his pocket. OFFICER: “How much have you had to drink today?” WOODS: “None.” OFFICER: “And do you take any medication?” WOODS: “Uhh...I take a few, yes.” He was arrested for driving under the influence on the spot. Woods has entered a plea of not guilty.

Harmeet Dhillon always seemed to me to be the obvious AG. If this isn't locked down, she's definitely someone most supported by the base. She was the lawyer taking on cases for Andy Ngo, and when San Jose allowed trump supporters to be violently attacked, she sued.

@alt_nofilter @NJBeisner That Adam guy has been useless for a long time. PDB's failure is sticking with him.

@NJBeisner Bunch of fucking retards in the comments section. If my employee's job was to go out and be smart and funny but completely shit the bed, I would want everyone to know thats not the brand. The public embarrassment is what happens when you have a public job

“You’re cornering me to have to say this to you publicly right now…” 😬
In an effort to protect his brand, PBD dressed down Adam Sosnick on the show yesterday over Adam’s viral Israel/iran debate with Dave Smith on Piers Morgan last week, where Adam’s tactic was to bring up Dave’s past debate with Coleman Hughes as much as possible.

@Tazerface16 @CDS949 The booster *landed* with something like 200T of residual fuel based on the post-landing frost line. That seems like plenty to orbit and still carry a significant payload.
English
@CDS949 Too heavy.
Both stages can't be reusable and still be able to put an appreciable payload into LEO.

I'm an aerospace engineer.
I made this prediction over five years ago, and I'm still correct.
I'm not interested in non-engineers trying to explain to me how I'm wrong somehow.
Elon Musk is not an engineer.

By the way, Starship will never make it into orbit.

@Tazerface16 Fellow engineer here, SpaceX has intentionally stopped just short of orbit and landed with lots of extra fuel. How is this your conclusion?

The U.S. Department of Defense has given President Trump a plan to seize nearly 1,000lbs of highly-enriched uranium from at least one nuclear site in Iran, that would involve flying in excavation equipment and building a runway for cargo planes to take the radioactive material out, according to two people familiar with the matter who spoke to the Washington Post.

@WomanDefiner PACT Act was supposed to cost $300B over then years. Instead, it is costing $300B EVERY year and it is increasing.

Almost all the disability from this new crop of Vet's who weren't involved in the GWOT seems to be depression and anxiety and that gets you almost to 100%. 50% of people who leave the military are now claiming disability. 2% serve in active combat zones.
This guy teaches vets how to get the highest disability rating possible. That's what he does for work. He also gets disability for anxiety.
He's a navy reservist guys... The PACT act left open a bunch of loopholes for trans service members and these guys all discovered them. That's what this is.
The PACT act has to go as a bill.

@LegallyDashing @PoliceThePolic1 How many times have you mistaken a phone for a gun?
English
@PoliceThePolic1 Must be comfortable in that armchair with the benefit of a video to watch at your leisurely pace and a pocket full of hindsight. 🙄

Police body camera footage clearly shows La’Taurus Harrison holding a phone in his hand during the moments before an Indiana sheriff’s deputy fired 10 rounds at him last year, killing the 44-year-old Black man, claiming he had a gun in his hand.

@DJSnM NASA isn’t the only one who jammed up a toilet today
English
I spent days researching the toilet on the Orion spacecraft,now it sound like the fan jammed in day one
English
They should have launched a second camera rocket right next to the first rocket so we could watch the launch longer.
Or just attach a selfie stick to the first rocket.
Weird that NASA never hired me.

@KurtSchlichter Can’t win with just the folks you call conservatives. It took a coalition and Trump has jettisoned all of them. How’s DOGE and MAHA these days?
English
Maybe these conservative guys should stop being such bitches.
Trump never promised to roll over for 7th Century savages who murdered Americans. But hey, that totally justifies returning woke communists to power because muh feelz.
BowTiedRanger@BowTiedRanger
Every conservative guy I’ve talked to (from normie to sperg) has checked out of politics. Even if Trump stopped the war today that’s not going to get them interested again. A generational coalition squandered for Israel.

@WomanDefiner The manual says to kneel on a dudes neck for 9 minutes?
English
Bro it's so much worse than that. The States entire case rested on the fact that none of these guys were trained on the MRT and that what they did went far beyond what they were ever trained to do. That was a lie and the judge helped them lie by striking the training manuals being shown as evidence to the jury.
They were trained to do that. Regardless how you feel you can't lock up people for doing what they are trained to do.

Asian guy gets 5 years in prison and literally never touched George Floyd. Black guy gets a suspended sentence for murdering an Asian grandpa. Somali immigrant gets one year for defrauding $250 mil from the taxpayers. I thought the system was biased?

@No_Mo_Diversity @WomanDefiner Chauvin did appeal, with lawyers, and lost.
English
"the judge helped them lie by striking the training manuals being shown as evidence to the jury."
*******************************************
That is solid ground for getting a new trial but the problem is chauvin and this other cops can't get a lawyer to fight for them. Lawyers know they will be disbarred if they expose this judicial corruption.

@braxton_mccoy The allegation (may not match) is made in the defense attorney’s motion seeking a trial continuance. Wouldn’t put much into this.

Depending on bullet selection an ot six at 150 yards could fragment in such a way that it is impossible to prove conclusively that it came from any one rifle. That's the main thing I am saying here on the site famously known for it's nuance appreciators
English
Lot of people are trying to JFK files this situation when there hasn't been a trial yet. We don't know all of what evidence does or does not exist. That said, this could be explained by bullet fragmentation. Doesn't mean it was or wasn't fired from the same rifle.

@RealEnfuegoMMA @perseverare1776 See that kid's wide eyes? He is under stress, his hearing is gone, and he is in fight-or-flight mode. The cop is supposed to be the professional and handle it without shooting him for enjoying a burger.
English
@perseverare1776 Why is this a question? You comply with police officers then fight it out later in court. That’s the answer, has always been the answer and there is no other answer.
English
WHAT WOULD YOU DO IN THIS EXACT MOMENT?
You’re sitting in your car eating McDonald’s…
Out of nowhere a police officer yanks your door open…
No warning. No explanation.
You’re 17.
Do you:
A) Freeze and comply
B) Hit reverse and get out of there
That split-second decision changed everything for Erik Cantu.

Have you ever been arrested for eating Taco Bell? It happened to this guy! Curtis McLaughlin Jr went through the Taco Bell drive through and then parked in an empty parking lot to enjoy his dinner. Watch how the cops handled this ⬇️⬇️ Do you think they took it too far?

“Lifelong progressive” Whitney Cummings just said this on The View:
“I’m just literally at the point where… the person I’m voting for is anyone not a p—ophile.”
“Whoever’s not a p—ophile… I’m voting for that person.”
Joy Behar got giddy and thought she was talking about Republicans.
“Which party is that you’re talking about? The Republican Party?” she asked.
Cummings refused to give Behar the answer she so desperately craved, suggesting this problem doesn’t belong to one party:
“I just mean, like, who doesn’t think kids are hot? I’m voting for that person.”

@HansMahncke We started a war with Iran (without a plan for the Strait) in order to teach Europe a lesson?
English
President Trump is dealing with a situation a lot of parents might recognize. It’s like you’ve paid for years of swimming lessons, but the kid stayed in the shallow end, splashing and complaining because he knew you’d always be there to bail him out.
At some point, you realize the constant rescue has become the problem. So you take him out into deep water and let go, not to hurt him, but because it’s the only way he might finally learn to swim.
The dilemma is that there are no good options. Step in too soon and you prove nothing has changed. Step back and you’re watching someone who can’t save himself and may not even want to. It's an intractable problem, and in the end the US will have to take care of it again.
