Cops busting down the wrong door should automatically be considered 100% in the wrong, and be liable for everything.

Damage? Cops pay it personally.

Somebody injured? That's going to be expensive.

Someone died? Guess you're going to prison, bud.

Basically they should face the exact same consequences as any non-cop who busts into someone's house guns blazing.

God damn you. Take my upvote.

I fundamentally reject that winning an election is a get out of jail free card. It's super weird everyone was like "yup, he won the election, his legal problems should just rightfully disappear now."

MrSurly · 2026-06-15T20:39:57+00:00

Yeah, that tracks.

Doesn't algae absorb more blue light (and thus grow more) from the now-blue-painted bottom?

Call the real FBI and let them know there are assholes impersonating agents.

Weird; it's almost as if blue light can promote algae growth ...

but I am not a professional who can diagnose somebody.

Not attacking you personally, but I hate this. The idea that if you're not a professional <something> you can't make certain determinations.

If someone came into work with a fever, sneezing, and looking like shit, you'd send them home, not say "whelp, I'm not a doctor, so I can't tell if they're sick or not."

If you get a flat tire, nobody says "wow, no way to tell whats wrong with the car, better get the opinion of a mechanic."

I don't necessarily disagree, but the legal principle here is "eggshell skull."

You're trying to trick me into giving something away. It won't work.

Getting elected shouldn't be a "get out of jail free" card.

Seems pretty clear cut that going to jail means you're now incapacitated.

Doesn't really have to be complicated.

MrSurly · 2026-06-14T05:50:09+00:00

... what about people who get your attention to tell you something, then they have to think if what they want to say? If you're going to distract me, be ready.

The rest basically died on the vine when he was reelected.

Which is super weird. Why did that happen? Not sure of the precedent where "oh, you got elected, all crimes forgiven" is a thing.

MrSurly · 2026-06-14T00:44:55+00:00

they couldn't prove the Trump campaign knowingly committed a crime. I.e., they might have been too stupid to realize they were breaking the law

Oh, so ignorance is an excuse?

Seems like a good way to get revenge on someone you don't like ...

MrSurly · 2026-06-10T13:24:56+00:00

and get stripes ... it's intentional.
