The law, for better or for worse, is very results oriented. Driving while drunk and killing someone in an accident and driving while drunk and ramming a parked car have massively different sentences when literally the only difference is if someone happened to be sitting in the car or not which is completely independent of the act.

Though this resolution originated in the Senate so it goes to the House first and would have pass there before even getting to Biden. It almost certainly dies in the House because I'm pretty sure Pelosi can kill it the way McConnell killed things in the Senate simply by never bringing it to a vote. While the House has discharge petitions that could circumvent that I'd basically stake my life that Dems don't vote for that the same way Republicans like Collins would wring their hands about the filibuster being in the way of stuff they "totally would support" if it ever came to a vote. But even supposing it got voted on somehow and passed the House, yes, Biden could simply veto it - and the White House has already said it would. --- xp1337: Don't you wish there was a spell-checker that told you when you a word out? <cite>xp1337 posted [p:960743800] in Politics C...

StealThisSheen 12/09/21 3:42:43 AM #327:	Okay, so I watched the first like 20 minutes and then skipped around, but I'm just going to say right now what the problem seems to be almost immediately. We can't see into your head. We can literally only respond to what you type. So when you say stuff like "You're reading too far into it" or "I don't even think X, I just said Y," that is context we cannot have. So when you say X dumb/offensive/insulting/whatever thing, and your next several replies just continue to be very flippant, dismissive, and so on, then yes, we're obviously going to read into X, because you never clarified that you didn't actually mean X until much later. That was a very constant theme throughout both arguments. You'd type X, you'd kinda ramble on in replies rather dismissively, and then you'd bounce. It's kinda like walking into a bar full of Philadelphia Eagles fans, saying out loud "Eagles are shit," not actually clarifying whatever you actually meant by that until sometime later, and then wondering why the rest of the people in the bar are pissed at you and keep bringing up the "shit" comment. --- Seplito Nash, Smelling Like the Vault since 1996 Step FOUR!

Mr Lasastryke 12/09/21 4:52:18 AM #329:	i'm 27 minutes in and here's one thing i want to comment on, in addition to what SEP said. you said you made the "how many comedy shows have you been to" post to make the point that if you see a lot of bad comedians, you appreciate the good ones more. i'm still not entirely sure why you made that point - maybe you were responding to "chappelle's jokes were not funny" post by saying that he's a lot funnier than amateur comedians? even then, i don't think anyone in the topic was arguing that chappelle is a bad comedian in general. they just thought the jokes about trans people weren't funny. still, with this added context, your post does make a little more sense. your post is kind of socratic method-ish (i loathe the socratic method so that's already a problem) and you didn't explain why you asked the question at all in the post itself, so it seems to be completely random. i remember when you made it at the time and being like "what does this have to do with anything?" in fairness, not providing proper context and/or a proper explanation is a problem with a lot of people's posts in this topic. this is why i get really pissed off at something like kevwaffles saying "lasa, tony is completely right!" like, if you read the tony/me debate and think tony is on point and i'm full of shit, that's totally fine. you might be right. but why? if you explain your reasoning, we can have a conversation about this and i might learn something. but what the fuck is the point of just saying something like "tony is soooo right"? you shouldn't post at all if you're not going to put any effort of explaining yourself into your post. like SEP said, i can't look into your head, so i have no idea why you think tony is right and i'm wrong. i think a lot of conflict in this topic could be avoided if people put in a little more effort into their posts, instead of just lazily dropping their streams of consciousness in here. --- Geothermal terpsichorean ejectamenta <cite>Mr Lasastryke posted [p:960751209] in Politics C...

Forceful_Dragon 12/09/21 1:20:03 PM #337:	Suprak the Stud posted... AOC at -10 is tragic. Manchin is only a -7. TBH, we live in a representative democracy and we should approve/disapprove of a politicians performance based upon how well they represent their constituents. I don't live there so it would be unfair of me to disapprove of the elected representative for Alabama District 4 provided they were adequately representing their voters. And the fact that Aderholt still carries 80% of his district after 20+ years in congress would indicate that they are clearly satisfied with his performance. It is no surprise that the values of his district (which is incredibly rural, it's largest city of Gadsen only has a population of about 34,000) do not align with my own. The issue is when representatives maintain high approval ratings despite actively voting against their constituents self interests. --- ~C~ FD https://imgur.com/dGDfxaw <cite>Forceful_Dragon posted [p:960759787] in Politics C...

Reporting claims it was shared with some GOP Senators and Congresspeople on 1/4. https://twitter.com/hugolowell/status/1468989737490911232 It recommended, among other things: Declaring a National Security Emergency by claiming there was foreign influence on voting machines (there's a Pepe Silva-esque slide tying China to Smartmatic, Biden, and Kamala), and just declare all electronic voting invalid. Also went over the ways Pence could interfere on 1/6 to either delay or overturn Biden's certification but that was all kinda known a long time ago.

Also as far as Mr. Rittenhouse is concerned, I think the problem is that there has been a long-standing issue surrounding non-white criminals typically getting treated worse than white criminals and that him being acquitted of wrongdoing just gives more people license to go on vigilante killings against non-white criminals. I mean, George Floyd was a criminal of some sort, right?
