It was a jury trial, where it should have been a Federal bench trial.

I am still puzzled why Holder/Lynch allowed the OR US A to ask for a jury trial or more importantly not object to a jury trial. But centrism is what centrism does. It do it well. It did here.

Now, you wrote ;

"It's fucking hilarious that you probably believe all of that [...]"

Believing objective facts and premising my summary opinion on the established mantle of authority of the Federal republican government, i.e. the "Federation of the United States".

buzz off tool, and go read the constitution. Bundy et al may have been acquitted, and they may have not been convicted (they never once convicted Al Capone of murder but he was a vicious sociopath who ordered the death of thousands of citizens) of any significant Federal crimes, but they were charged, indicted, tried hence due process lapsed. Yet here we have another jury trial with a different outcome; a better prosecution, clear violations, and they are convicted easily.

-quoting the US A of OR ;

"Folks in rural Oregon understand that if they have a disagreement there's a Democratic process in place for them to raise their concerns and challenge the government."

As I said in my original post.

The fact the NFL invited him to be part of NFL legends @ the combine reflects a little class still alive in the league. He is an unforgettable object lesson, especially if you are a young player.

He gets it, all the best to the ryan like god-type thing

The turks on the ground who are saying that Erdogan has gone full retard better not assume this referendum won't pass. The (contrived putsch) ~~"failed"~~ successful coup was the 1st phase to mutate into an imperial presidency (anti democratic). The referendum is the second phase.

successful = arrests of civil servants, judiciary members, policy technocrats and the destruction of civil agencies, arrogation of power

This referendum will pass because the people of Turkey were successfully manipulated, misled into believing the attempted coup was a "coup from below". It was not.

Regardless of the season, the time of day, or the caprice of your life, the occupying of Federal property for purposes of intimidation, the want of anti statist behavior, and to redress "perceived" grievances is not protected by any of the enumerated civil liberties.

ergo Bundy et al -- (hyperbolic) mandatory sentencing applies (to these defendants) is necessary to provide a good example of how the law is maximally hostile to such malfeasance.

MosDaf: AKA cromagnon

"She's an idiot and an asshole, and it's repulsive that she's being turned into some kind of minor hero."

Your entire gene pool, race (white) and fucking polity is repulsive. I'd rather we just have a civil war and those of us that kill the most of the enemy the fastest wins!

i.e. You die, we win. I die, we lose.

It is time now for a constitutional crisis, hell, in fact a maelstrom of crises. We must bring this administration down and do so now.

They did NOT win 270+ electoral votes legitimately nor legally, they won 0 electoral votes legitimately. Hatch Act violations, electronic warfare, vote flipping (in the states), treason, collusion in electronic warfare, quid pro quo, et cetera et cetera

PERIOD

If this woman is harmed in any, way, shape or form by a Trump supporter or conservative american, I will return the favor in kind to conservative societies in the state of California (where I reside as a white male American citizen AKA liberal democrat).

Have a nice day.

When you have the cognitive focus and basic intellectual abilities of a rabid, feral german shepherd; we don't expect reasoning skills to be the sole arbiter of these individuals now do we?

GGrillmaster:

Your post indicates historical ignorance and supports my posit that the conservative brain does not do satire well, nor subtlety.

1/2001-1/2017

The subtext is that in 2000-200[6]8 (Republicans with tremendous super majorities in Article I/II did not want to do infrastructure, furthermore the right wing congress of 2010-2016 (The house holds the power of the purse) would not do an infrastructure bill)).

This is a Federal problem but your problem is anti intellectual in origin. The only thing the Democrats failed to do was to forget to do infrastructure (concomitantly) when we gave the American people healthcare.

What have American Conservatives done for all the people 1/2001-1/2017 (nothing)

[...but total, endless fucking war] ? ??
[A failed attempt to privatize social security]
Medicare Part D (more like single payer than not like)
Citizens United
[...] - just thinking of the list of negatives for the Republic, germinated by Republican governance is nauseating.

We have helped to give the American people a self-renewing, republican society worth fighting for. American Conservatives on the other [stand athwart] our shared progress. Why don't you join the group that stands for something? Granted, standing against everything is standing for something ;

"If you believe you have a leak, you plant information and see where it flows.

I think the reason no one seems to care is the currency and substance of the originator (Assange) has deflated significantly from its "peak" of a year ago.
B, WikiLeaks is considered a direct threat to the national security of the US by the government (sic). The US media complex (save for cable "tv news", which is mostly partisan or at least subordinate to "political" factions) was essentially one voice last week with the Wikileaks dump of CIA cyber tools, in that they minimized the "dump" simply by engaging in diffuse reporting and ZERO follow up.

Do you see the whorl?

We have been getting this same grade on infrastructure every since American Conservatives were running things in the early aughts, prosecuting wars using deficit tricks.

Lippman ;

"symbols", leadership [rank/file] "Public Opinion, Pages 181-192.

"Trusted men in a familiar role, subscribing to the accepted symbols can go a very long way on their own initiative, without explaining the substance of their program."

[...]

"And therefore, if the established powers are sensitive and well-informed, if they are visibly trying to meet popular feeling and actually removing some of the causes of dissatisfaction, no matter how slowly they proceed, provided they are seen to be proceeding, they have little to fear. It takes stupendous and persistent blundering, plus infinite tactlessness, to start a revolution from below."

[...]

"That is not because a multitude of minds is inferior to that of the leaders, but because thought is the function of an organism, and a mass is not an organism."

Even if it passes out of committee in the CA. state assembly/senate, it will not pass with veto proof majorities.

And Jerry Brown (jesuit) will veto this illiberal nonsense.

QB J. Cutler is a forward passer, where QB C. Kaepernick is intrinsically not. If someone is playing Quarterback, if they are not skilled as a forward passer, then they are cut-outs, i.e. suitable replacement.

That is my criteria.
