As far as I know, defendants can't force a private trial. I think the public and media have a right to view trials.

I left twitter and facebook because they're just cesspools of stupidity and hate so I may be wrong here, but is the little lightning bolt at the bottom of the the tweet with the words "See the latest COVID-19 information on X" a way to direct people to actual facts on posts that spout bullshit...

It's not only that we're getting dumber and more deplorable, it's that we're fucking proud of how ignorant and shitty we are. Being called an "intellectual" is supposed to be an insult these days.

During my undergrad I had a friend that would frequently drop acid and talk like this thinking it made him sound smart. I'd be studying for a orbital mechanics exam or something and he would start making shit up like he was already an expert on the topic. It was always humorous until it became...

So the Germans sinking ships off the east coast and in the gulf of Mexico wouldn't have gone any further once they cleared out our navy, if they were able to? The fact remains that we live in a globally integrated economy and Americans aren't will to have their prices go up for any reason...

I notice you changed what I wrote to add "mainland". I assume you didn't do that on purpose and it was just going to a part of your response. Does Hawaii not count as an attack on our country? Are you saying that Japan attacked us because we gave naval support to England?

Speaking of WW2, we're lucky that pesky war over there never made it to our shores. what happens to the american economy if the rest of the world is in chaos? that's an actual question. i don't have any data in front of me but what do you think that would look like for us? china takes over...

Your responses are getting dumber by the electron. Are you doing ok? Is there a coded message for help in there somewhere? Do we need to decipher the code by dividing the font size by the number of bolded words and then convert from ascii to text?

It's cute that you think Hannity might be putting this together for the benefit of the country. Shortest answer is that there's no use "debating" people currently at war with reality. The right doesn't give a shit whether their words are true so what's the point in the left debating them...

what about degrees in social work? do art history majors go on to become museum curators (i honestly don't know)? library science degrees? i personally believe all of those careers benefit society and should be treated as such. whether such fields should require degrees is another debate.

I think a smarter strategy would be for the Dems to pick the most moderate republican there is (no idea who) and vote for them, thus totally negating the extremists on the right. Then get some shit done.

https://www.marketplace.org/2023/09/11/is-retail-theft-really-rising/ Heard this interview on NPR(maybe it was the Make Me Smart podcast) and thought it was an interesting discussion on the shoplifting stuff. Data shows that thefts aren't actually increasing much more than expected but the...

Give the GOP a break. Do you know how hard it is to get people to vote against their own interests? Only libtards want to be well informed.

Does Ohio provide a voter pamphlet like they do here in WA? Google didn't have what I was looking for. When I lived in UT they told me I had to contact each organization or candidate for statements. Anyway, in WA, a few weeks before the elections, we get a pamphlet with info on every...

Seattle City Council Passes Drug Law Did the Daily Fail update you on the latest city council vote? I know you were worried about the dystopian nightmare in Seattle. Now the city can prosecute drug possession so the problem should be solved. Thanks Newsom! Way to go Brandon!

What culture? One could argue that this is who we've always been but now there's more information available to everyone to consume. I personally believe all this talk is just the older generation thinking of the past with an illusion of the warm fuzzy rather than remembering how it actually was.

Also, Highway Patrol statements that say “It became pretty clear immediately she was experiencing some sort of mental health crisis,” and “We are grateful no one was harmed in this incident. Our officers were able to get there, deescalate that situation, get her to drop her weapon and take her...

It's almost as if such a complicated problem can't be solved easily. Weird. This is a good quote from that link: "It is frustrating to have more people fall into homelessness even as we are investing hundreds of millions of taxpayer dollars and resources into efforts to bring people inside. I...

I hope you limbered up before that stretch. Nobody is ok with any of the stuff you listed and every big city deals with such things. However, arresting away the homeless or drug problems doesn't work so some cities are trying alternatives. They may not all work but they will provide data that...

This is a good point. It's not for everyone. I grew up in a big city (Houston) so I'm not scared of walking past, or even interacting, with a homeless person or a drug addict. Seattle is a big place and I'm sure the photos that the daily fail has posted to scare people like you were cherry...
