there goes his insanity plea

did the lawyer just mess this up for him? hopefully

Insanity pleadings have an extremely low chance of finding success, period. Evidence would need to be introduced that he suffered from severe mental illness such that he could not understand what he was doing or the consequences of his actions, or that he could not understand what he was doing was wrong.

I find it difficult to believe that he would be diagnosed with something akin to paranoid schizophrenia in which it could be shown that his connection with reality was up in the air.

i see the irony in using that as a counterpoint while posting in a topic making fun of his hair

what you're all telling me is that you're completely fine with name-calling

When the party being namecalled started it and madeit trendy, I have no objections at turnabout.

Generally, when you insult others' appearances, you open yourself up to comments on yours.

Shouldn't be slinging shit if it's too much to handle when someone else decides to sling shit back.

so it's a "i'm gonna stoop down to his level" argument then?

so basically you're children?

When the bar has been set so low that it's acceptable for the highest office of the land, sure. Clearly if it's okay for the president, then it's okay for Joe Schmoe Six-Pack.

It's more like "don't touch until you're on your second NG+ or you're going to put your controller through the wall due to spongy regular enemies and the literal grim reaper."

O.o A few jaunts through the Everfall plus the weapon awarded at the end of the main quest should be more than enough to handle BBI.

...he's the one who rescinded it

It was illegal, he asked congress to come up with a legal replacement. They failed.


How was it illegal exactly? I'm honestly curious, not calling you out or anything

He bypassed congress to change an immigration law. Without input or a vote by congress, it's illegal.

Not necessarily, given that it was drafted and executed under the guise of executive discretion which operates under the reality that only so many resources exist and said resources may be allocated under said discretion unless it is explicitly limited via the other branches. Further, going the constitutional law route, the President's capacity to take certain action is limited by whether the other branches are in line with the executive or not. As you said, Congress provided no official input because the bill never came to a vote in one house (I forget which). On separation of powers issues, the Supreme Court has generally taken situations such as this not as a situation where Congress is actively opposing the President's action. It is entirely plausible (particularly given the previous DREAM Act that was law and the Court, barring other factors, could interpret that and its passage in one house as implications of consent) that DACA was perfectly legal.

One thing that surprises and baffles me as a Brit: how the conflict seems to rate as barely a footnote in the American memory of the 20th century. WW1 was not a minor engagement for the United States.

- The US Army suffered more combat deaths in France in 1918 -- more than half of them in just the last seven weeks of the war -- than in the whole of the Pacific Campaign in WW2.

- The Battle of Meuse-Argonne remains one of the biggest and the bloodiest battle in all of US military history: in forty-seven days of brutal combat in and around the Argonne forest, around twice as many American soldiers were killed in action than were killed on Okinawa 27 years later.

- The average US daily combat death rate in France in WW1 (132 per day) was 77% of the rate in all theatres combined in WW2 (172 per day). While total military deaths in WW1 were 28% of those in WW2, almost the same proportion of US servicemen on active service died in the former conflict (2.4%) as in the latter (2.5%). Proportionally, WW1 caused a US population loss one-third the size of the loss in WW2 -- that's by no means a negligible figure.

I think that in terms of intensity of fighting -- particularly if measured by loss rate, as the AEF was in action for only around ten months -- it's clear that France in 1918 was just as fierce for Americans as the Pacific was in WW2. So it's difficult to establish exactly why the national significance of WW1 has been almost forgotten in America.

It's overshadowed by the Nazis and Friends. The additional caveat that WWI was the result of (and a full demonstration of) human shortsightedness regarding a number of topics in combination with the lack of any clear black and white alignment makes it uncomfortable to go over in great detail.

Is this really where we are as a society? Where ugly, childish behavior is acceptable because Trump does it?

Normalization is a bitch like that.


To be honest though, this has been normalized way before Trump. I blame social media for that.

People become so wrapped up in their own opinions and eco chambers; saying whatever they want with no real opposition or consequence when all it takes is a simple block button.

It's like people begin to think in black and white; people then forget how many different views there are and most importantly--feelings.

I agree with you on that front. The interwebs have made it very easy to let loose with a stream of consciousness sans a filter, and we've gotten to the point where it's crossing over into real world interactions. It's why I try to keep my online persona in line with how I speak to folks in person, although I tend to encroach on irritated drinking levels of abrasiveness.
