@relmz32 @JosieMarcellino If you can't figure that out for yourself, I can't explain it to you.

Gun-owner and daughter of a gun instructor here.
You can’t legally shoot someone for punching you one time in the face. Especially after intentionally trying to incite violence.
FearBuck@FearedBuck
ChudTheBuilder shot a man who attacked him outside a courthouse in Clarksville & accidentally grazed himself in the process. Before it escalated, he asked the man if he was going to “chimp out” the man then walked up & sucker punched him. It is unclear if the man survived.

My brother in Christ, they are coming after my great-great-great-great-grandfather's fucking firelock.
The Associated Press@AP
A musket from 1776 can fire a lead ball at a velocity of around 1,000 feet per second. Imagine what that can do to a human body. Yet under federal and most state laws, it’s exempt from gun regulations. Many antique or replica guns aren’t considered firearms and even convicted felons can own them.

@GhettoCode @JosieMarcellino what provocation was there? a threat against the other persons life or property?
English
@JosieMarcellino Not sure that always stands. Usually, but not always. But Tennessee Code § 39-11-611(e)(2) is all we really need to know here. It basically says you can't claim self defense if you provoked someone to illegally use force first. Open and shut case. Dude's getting some years.

I have no respect for anyone who’s angry about this. This is exactly what taxes should be spent on. Not subsidizing corporations and giving bombs to Israel.

🚨 Under Gov. Whitmer, all Michigan students now receive free breakfast and lunch at school. This saves working families nearly $1,000 a year on average.

BREAKING: Declassified FBI docs expose the malfeasance of Judge Boasberg who offered dirty FBI agent Kevin Clinesmith the excuse he was just innocently taking a "short-cut" to save time when he changed the wording in a CIA email that would have exculpated Trump adviser Carter Page b/c the new docs show Clinesmith also w/h exculpatory evidence on another Trump aide--Walid Phares--proving such corrupt behavior was his M.O., not a one-off, as Boasberg made it seem.
Boasberg gave Clinesmith, a fellow Democrat, no jail-time for his felony. Clinesmith's back practicing law, and Boasberg is still on the bench.

The scandal hiding in plain sight is the collapse of American education.
And no 2028 candidates -- aside from Rahm Emanuel -- are talking about it.

@JennieMFL @RameshPonnuru Well, this is the way SCOTUS has decided to operate. They’ve consistently ruled against the progressive position, often reversing a lower court’s ruling that came with 100+ page analysis with nothing more than the stroke of a pen. Enjoy the shit.

I am floored that a majority of the Court issued an order in the mifepristone case with no explanation.
The Fifth Circuit's decision to take abortion-by-mail off the table during the pendency of litigation was well-reasoned and thorough. The parties filed briefs in the SCT making various arguments. What's the rationale for the Court's decision to "stay" (cancel, essentially) the Fifth Circuit's order? The Court doesn't tell us.
As Justice Alito says in his dissent, abortion-by-mail is an end run around Dobbs, which restored the rights of the individual states to regulate abortion access within their borders.
Onward.

He explicitly said "we have to get the fraudsters out of this country and send them to prison" and the Kamala HQ people think he's talking about Democrats lmfao.
Never change, guys
Headquarters@HQNewsNow
JD Vance appears to call for jailing Democrats who oppose MAGA: “We gotta get them out of this country and we gotta get them in prison.”

@animal @DanFriedman81 lol. it may have been real, but it was not Kavanaugh.
English
@DanFriedman81 Put Kristof aside. You minimized Ford's claim from the start of your post. You spun it.
She said that he did more than grope her. And altho she did not provide enough evidence to prove her case, her description of the event sounded real to me. And it was an assault not groping.

Brett Kavanaugh, a man in his 50s, had been valedictorian of his high school, at Yale College and a star student at Yale Law, had clerked for the Supreme Court, had a top career as an appellate lawyer and federal judge and a pristine reputation, and then a random woman from the town he grew up in claimed he had groped her at a party 35 years earlier when they were in high school.
Kavanaugh didn’t try to argue that the incident was consensual. He didn’t claim he remembered things differently than she did. He immediately stated that he had never even met the accuser. Denying ever meeting the accuser is a much stronger claim than merely denying assaulting her, and much easier to refute. After Kavanaugh made this denial, Christine Blasey-Ford no longer had to prove he had sexually assaulted her to scuttle his nomination, she only had to prove that the two of them had attended a party together at which such an assault might have occurred.
She was unable to do so. She did not know whose house the alleged assault occurred at. None of the people she claimed attended the party corroborated any aspect of her account. Leland Keyser, a friend of Blasey-Ford’s, who the accuser claimed was at the alleged party, said she recalled no such event and had never met Kavanaugh.
Kavanaugh produced a detailed calendar he had kept during the summer Blasey-Ford alleged she was assaulted, which included his whereabouts of every weekend night and listing who he was with. Kavanaugh argued that he could alibi himself and provide witnesses for any night Blasey-Ford claimed she might have been at a party with him. Blasey-Ford responded that she did not know the date of her assault and was not entirely certain it even occurred that year. Instead of being seen as persuasive, Kavanaugh’s calendar was mocked in both mainstream and social media because the reason he kept it was for a drinking contest he was having with his friends.
Nearly a decade later, there is still not a single shred of proof or a single witness who will corroborate the claim that Brett Kavanaugh and Christine Blasey-Ford were ever in the same room before she testified at his confirmation hearing. Nonetheless, people like Nick Kristof still claim Kavanaugh was “credibly accused” of sexually assaulting this woman.

Hey Jon, why doesn't he live in his house?
Is there a specific reason?
Jon Favreau@jonfavs
Right, because he's filthy rich and the trailer was a media stunt, much like his entire campaign.

@Garrett_Watton And yet he and his paleo brethren will cheer on ICE doing *vastly* worse to 100% innocent people.
If you share in that hypocrisy, look in the mirror and ask if you still have a soul.

Paleos call it "suicidal empathy" when "the woke" defend George Floyd or Renee Good against police brutality.
Here, Mr Kauffman isn't being choked, shot, or beaten.
But he wants you to cry for him.
He wants to tug on your heart strings.
He wants "justice", and for you to be angry on his behalf.
Hypocrite!!
Enjoy the boots your "Libertarian nationalism" shine with its forked tongue, you reprehensible clown.

On April 4th, a likely mentally-ill African man was behaving erratically in a Market Basket parking lot. I exchanged words with him, encouraging him to leave both the parking lot and the beautiful state of New Hampshire entirely. For this, I was arrested. Neither of us came within physical reach of one another, and I expect the matter to be dropped by the city of Manchester. Additionally, I am exploring legal action against the city. This incident is yet another example of how our government treats mentally-ill and dangerous African men as saints, and how the police prevent decent men from maintaining order in American cities and towns. The footage of my arrest is below. As someone who loves New Hampshire and attempts to make our state look good, it embarrasses me that our police our this incompetent.

@estherzelda0514 the first complaint i saw about this movie was about Damon being cast
English
I find it suspect that nobody cares that Matt Damon (English) is playing a Bronze Age Mediterranean person in The Odyssey, but it's Lupita Nyong'o (Kenyan) where they draw the line on "historical accuracy." I think we all know what is going on.
