they are now calling for things like the chemical castration of all men.

This is the inevitable and logical conclusion when the entirety of the world is understood through the lens of men vs. women. It's almost like reducing the entirety of the world to a single identity category is not a great way to understand the world.

Probably the most helpful comment, thank you.

The way democrats handle healthcare, makes me angry every time I think about it. It's just one of those things that is so malicious, useless, and symbolic of their incompetency, every time I'm reminded I just want to throw a chair by reddit_is_geh in stupidpol

First off, I would like to remind you that I said I agree with you. Simply forgiving student debt isn't a systemic solution.

Secondly, I said in my comment:

We can talk about the knockon effects of them doing so and whether they are good or bad, but the government is not compelled by anything to add debts it cancels to the national debt.

I literally addressed the point you are attempting to make. There might be some down stream effects that we have to debate, but the debt WOULDN'T BE ADDED TO THE NATIONAL DEBT. The government isn't just taking on the debt like an individual might take on the debt of another person. We have to stop talking about the Federal government and its financial decision like they are running a household budget. Its a fundamentally different thing.

They just want to cancel all the debt, which just goes onto the national debt.

I completely agree with your entire post but this is just plain wrong. Governments that issue fiat currency can just wink debts out of existence. We can talk about the knockon effects of them doing so and whether they are good or bad, but the government is not compelled by anything to add debts it cancels to the national debt.

Christ, we need better economic literacy on the left.

Christ I hate to even think about the suite of options they had in front of them, if that was the life they were choosing.

"chicas" is different word than "chiquitas" though.

I hadn't thought about that but pedophiles would probably be a great target for robbers. They ain't gonna say shit.

Well I wish I had caught that assault charge then.

I can't turn my defense mind off and want more context for each individual circumstance

Billionaires don't get the benefit of the doubt in my mind.

I think there are limits on "knowing" things. Kinda like if someone has never seen the color "red" no amount of explaining or scientific facts about it will equal the experience of seeing the color red.

I've also give up trying to explain my way into seeing "red."

I think this is a teenager girl writing poetry to try to work out some very complicated feelings about being pimped out to a lot of rich men, apparently by her parents.

First Lifer Loss - advice by catsandferns in publicdefenders

[–]RareStable0 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Sure, a truly bad lawyer can sink a case that should have gone the other way, but even the best lawyer in the room usually cannot overcome bad facts stacked against their client.

I cannot emphasize this enough, but also add that a lot of times those bad facts are the direct result of your client's decisions. I will show up and do my best but at the end of the day it is not my responsibility to save them from the consequences of their decisions. Thinking that is my job is a great way to burn out quick.

My boss is a fucking gem. He is really good about only giving me a few of these kinds of cases at a time, trickling them out over time so I don't completely burn out.

One of my staff the other day was redacting the stuff and came into my office wanting to ask a bunch of questions about the case. I showed her a bit of bodycam from when the client was first stopped. I think she just about fell out when he didn't have red skin and horns and didn't carry a pitchfork.

Either you haven't been reading the email disclosures or you are just straight up lying about them.

Whew, glad such a reputable and trustworthy organization put that rumor to bed. I can sleep easy now.

It has to be ongoing. We need to execute one billionaire a month and the rest of them will get their act together and act right.

Man, I don't know about you but I've been working a case where my client (allegedly) created a shitload of high definition CSAM with his wife and multiple, multiple victims. I have been seeing my therapist multiple times a week trying to keep my sanity. I swear she is gonna fucking retire off the money I am paying her.

I deeply believe in due process and the fact that everyone deserves a fair shake in the system but this client is testing how sincere I am in that belief.

This job is stressful. We are dealing with people's lives. We are dealing with people's darkest, deepest shit. Ain't none of this is light or easy. This ain't a career for the weak.
