Ah well I haven’t followed all those details. Prosecutorial incompetence is always a possibility.

Right, and I think we are seeing increasing cases of jury nullification, especially for civil disobedience against ICE. However, the reality is that Lemmy is a bubble. Luigi and his alleged murder are nowhere near as popular among the greater population as he is here. So that’s why I think the chance of a hung jury is higher than nullification. Hung jury can happen if there is just one or a few people who refuse to convict. But jury nullification requires unanimity. There’s bound to be at least a few law & order boomer types on the jury. But only time will tell.

Not guilty seems very unlikely based on the publicly available evidence. I could see a hung jury happening though, as there are a minority of people who strongly want him to go free.

I can’t even imagine. MAGA was already losing their minds in 2016 with wild predictions that Obama would not leave office, despite there being no indication of it whatsoever.

But I thought a few murders was all that was holding us back from a spontaneous revolution? /s

Most apes are awesome. I can think of a few I wouldn’t miss.

C’mon, surely someone with access wants to leak that shit.

God damn he got old.

Well, you do have to keep in mind that the outcomes of those races are highly correlated with each other, so you can’t calculate the odds in a straightforward way. But the more of a wave election it is, the more the chances of a surprise flip.

I’d go one step further. The people shouldn’t need a reason to replace their representative. It should be possible at any time for any reason.

Schrödinger’s investigation? No we can’t release this as it’s part of an active investigation. No, we have no indictments or other activities to report, keep waiting.

Sure. When they’re done there won’t be a need for any more ethnic cleansing.

So is this a “let them fight” situation or what?

So I own one of these vehicles and I was thinking there’s no way this can be because I can see my fuel consumption and it is very low. But according to the article it varies greatly by model, and mine was mentioned as being on the low end.

For me at least, I can hear when the engine turns on and it does not do so until the battery range is used up, so there should be no fuel usage during short trips. It seems quite strange that some vehicles would work otherwise.

Well center is a somewhat subjective designation. But I’m speaking with respect to the general distribution of politics in the US, which certainly skews right compared to some other contexts.

Sounds like you define center differently.

Based on some web searches, this seems to be a left-leaning outlet. Perhaps you had it confused with a different one?

It’s not meaningless. The more funding they get the more harm they can do. Keeping the funding level high instead of astronomical will mean fewer Americans will be subject to state-sanctioned violence.

But I do agree that those funds should be clawed back as soon as possible.

That said I expect them to capitulate like they always do. But we’ll see.

I don’t believe it’s a physical blockade but threats of sanctions against anyone who provides them with oil.

Somehow they’ve found a new low every year that passes. I am terrified where they will go from here.

They’re always ready to shoot us the exact second they think they can get away with it.
