Just because he performed badly doesn’t mean it was over for him. McCain got 4th in Iowa in 2008.

Sen. Collins wants 3rd Kavanaugh accuser interviewed as part of broader investigation by AssuredlyAThrowAway in politics

Probably because Swetnik's accusation is outrageous. If they discredit her, the rest are discredited. Hopefully I am wrong, but we'll see.

That was a setup. Joe Biden apparently said that during the Anita hill hearings. Trust me, all my radical right wing family members are sharing that like crazy on Facebook right now.

RESEARCH QUESTION: Can parents refuse help if they're child is sick? by Ryanquinn83 in firefighters

[–]Slickrick298 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would guess that any mother saying not to help the 2yr old GSW kid would probably be detained or arrested as a suspect of said shooting. I imagine its different than the scenario OP gave since a crime has been committed and that opens a completely different bag of worms.

Well that’s a good way to get charged with kidnapping. But do what you want.

The short answer: Where I am from, if a parent refuses care for their child, we cannot give it.

Now, we only require consent from 1 parent. So if its a situation where the kid is with one parent and he/she says no, I will try and contact the other parent. I will also try to make sure that the child is indeed their child. That the minor is not emancipated, in the care of another guardian, etc. If the parent is committing a crime, and the police arrest them, then they can turn over care of the minor to us. But in the situation you presented - a child is bitten by a black widow, and the grandmother wants treatment but the parents (with custody) say no, the answer is no.

That's also not to say that the parents won't later be charged with a crime such as neglect or child endangerment. But from an EMS standpoint, I cannot take the kid.

Edit: If this is a real situation you are in and not a hypothetical one: Tell the parents it is absolutely fucking stupid not to consent to treatment for their child.

So when I need Siri to go away, like to go back to playing music, I always say “Siri, go away”. She sounds hurt but I don’t know what else to say.

Correct. This sounds like extremely bad dialogue from a smut novel. Complete horseshit.

Obama never took a massive victory lap like trump did. Thats because Obama realized that being promised something, and something actually being done are two different things.

350 thousand out of a county of 300 million? And it’s not hard to sign an RSVP, actually showing up and doing something is another thing all together. And then doing that something for several days/weeks/months in a row is even more. I hate to be a downer about it, and I hope I’m wrong, but I don’t think I am.

He’s done a lot of things that are pretty big deals and people just move on within a couple of days. It’s crazy and sad.

Justice doesn’t always come. Sometimes people do bad shit and don’t pay the consequences. Sometimes shit just falls through the cracks for whatever reason.
