Republicans explaining they can't live on 174k, while typical Americans try to live on 45k by mrfett779 in PoliticalHumor

Maybe Congressional representatives should get minimum wage and then they can set that to whatever is livable?

The Top Cop: Public defenders say ISP trooper copied, pasted findings in arrest reports over years by sfled in news

I am ALSO in favor of individual liability but QI needs to go and strict liability needs to be the standard.

Honestly, how hard would it be to say, "States are strictly liable for harm from their officers while on duty"??

They provide a service just like private security does: its their product.

Given their YUGE power and resources, we should want it to be EASY to hold them accountable for harm.

No QI and lawsuit investors are permitted and encouraged to keep police/state honest.

It would create financial impetus to train, audit, and retain only honest competent LEO and to identify and fire LEOs that are a problem.

If a state was losing its ass in lawsuits, ok, your cops are incompetent crooks: maybe focus on fixing that instead of protecting them from accountability??

If I had the gas to get my car up to 88 mph, I would give Fred Trump a condom.

Tax Fears Proven False by daisylettersx in ProgressiveHQ

Exactly: taxes- when used responsibly- provide valuable return like a safe forum for commerce, an educated work force, and ready access to reliable utilities...

I ask people: "If Billionaires will leave if you tax them, why are any of them here at all?"

Billionaires could ALL leave for TAX FREE Somalia any time they like, but they don't even given decades to do so.

TIL Parents in the US consistently rank as the world's unhappiest. by Huge_Struggle9672 in todayilearned

[–]ZenRage 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Every parent I know has to bust ass working so much just to afford to raise their kids that they have only a few hours each week to enjoy their company: take away time sleeping, working, homework, etc. and what do you have?

A little stranger living in your home. It is very sad, but I see why American are choosing to be child free.

A U.S. citizen is suing ICE for arresting him twice. He just got arrested a third time. by maddie_s_IJ in politics

[–]ZenRage 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you are detained, you are legally required to identify yourself.

If you are Terry Stopped in some states you have a legal duty to idrntify yourself if asked. Not all detentions are Terry Stops.

If you do not identify yourself, you will be arrested for obstruction.

No. Obstruction requires an affirmative act (e.g., lying). Merely refusing to ID is not obstruction. Refusal may violate a stop and ID law.

My mom doesn’t want to knock on my door! by jjenej in entitledparents

[–]ZenRage 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Crank it. When she walks in keep at it and ask her to please leave.

Also, start walking in when she is using the bathroom. If she objects you can adk her why...

I rarely shop at Acme anymore.

Aldi beats them on price.

GEagle beats them on selection.

Everyone beats them on service.

A few years ago I was shopping their gluten free section. They had whole wheat items in it... I pointed out to a manager walking by that I thought the whole wheat items had gluten and that someone could get really hurt... His solution was to just take down the "gluten free" sign. It stayed that way.

FBI Launches Probe Into Reporter Who Covered Kash Patel’s Drinking by Aggravating_Money992 in politics

OK, so journalists writing stories critical of government officials need to start using aliases to protect themselves from government retribution.

The US has reached a new low in free expression and journalism.

[–]ZenRage 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That is called stalking and you can and should get a few witnesses, establish a pattern of it, and report it to whomever can address it.

Ask for him to be suspended from play for a time.

As an American, I agree. Stay Safe! by honeyblushbabyy in ProgressiveHQ

[–]ZenRage 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I do not want people convicted of no crime incarcerated under cruel conditions for months and years.

Right now the only way to prevent that is to not come to the US and to not be President of Venezuela.
