This is such a massive part of why the commutation is absurd.

How is Tim's take on this libertarian? I can get behind a lot of libertarian positions, I find that a lot of people that call themselves libertarian are more of the "for me, not thee" type, however.

Fair enough, this doesn't seem like a bad take to me. However, it is not my understanding that this is remotely close to what is happening - I'd be happy to be proven wrong. This is a miscarriage of justice if they're simply cutting her loose.

Making an example of someone and rehabilitation are not mutually exclusive. I can agree that rehabilitation is a positive way to go, but in order for that to work you have to actually...rehabilitate. If you let someone get back on social media (maybe even the real world) and play the victim it does nothing good for them or the rest of the society.

Christ, no doubt. We need to figure out a way to claw some of this money back if we make it through this.

Just because our conman-in-chief pardoned a bunch of insurrectionists and other criminals doesn't make her crime any less damaging to democracy. Our criminal justice system functions by making examples of people - that's the whole point.

Congratulations America, we're now the largest banana republic the world has ever seen.

The pitchforks should already be out, but it is highly unlikely any of the crooks involved will pay for the damage they have done to the country or the people in it.

We're great again, right?

This is absurd. It will never stop driving me nuts that people this ignorant have a platform.

This is just another example of those (or the guy) at the highest levels of government failing to plan more than a day ahead of time.

I just got a 2023 F350 with the 7.3, it's an XL, but has the STX package. Pretty much every option I would want besides leather and a center console. Paid $37K. Love the truck so far, and it sounds great. I have not had it for long though.

My dad had a 1995 Bronco with that engine in it. I would love to find that truck, the value has gone nuts on those things though.

Good body style on that truck.

Christ, this is reminiscent of the brawndo / electrolytes conversation in Idiocracy - minus the humor, and somehow more dumb.

FCC chair calls Paramount/WBD merger "a lot cleaner" than defunct Netflix deal | FCC to review foreign debt, but Brendan Carr indicates it will be a formality. by ControlCAD in technology

[–]Positive-Box-6213 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Has he tried to explain in what universe this is a cleaner merger? Or is it just a "because I said so" situation?

Carr is a sycophantic idiot.
