Yeah these days all that means is a republican vote and maybe a truck or gun owner, gas stove, etc... total pricks in other words.

I don't see this happening but you need a really big body of water for that. IF we were further north the Gulf would be said body. However the wind would be out of the south to come off the Gulf, and that would have to mean the Caribbean is cold, too, and the Gulf has cooled off big time.

Not likely.

1st offense you get to go pick up trash two days a week for a year, 2nd offense you get to go to jail. I'm sick of the b.s. with it. If you can't afford insurance then don't drive.

There are a lot of laws that have minor penalties. We have 30-50,000 deaths per year on the highways of the USA. That means the equivalent of everybody at LSU dies, every year, in a car.

Many of them are caused by speeding, drinking, and texting/distraction. Few are freak accidents or mechanical failures. If we started enforcing traffic laws seriously it we would be much safer.

You get one warning (which doesn mean a fake ticket, it means pick up litter or pay $50) and then you get a $2000 or weekend in jail ticket. A lot of people say that would be an economic hardship.

GOOD.

Maybe people would chill out. Slow down. Drive defensively. Follow safely. Mind manners. Etc... There's a reason you never ever point a gun at someone, even if you think it's empty or the safety is on. We should treat cars the same way.

$240k does not get you in Los Angeles what it would in most SEC areas. It's probably worth half of what we perceive it as.

No commentary on the drug infested park, just pointing out the value here.

OPEN THE BOOKS -- Federal agencies have spent $4.6 Billion on furniture since 2021, despite most employees working from home.

My "office" in a maintenance/fab shop has a folding metal chair at a "desk" in the corner, and I work my arse off for $31/hour. Same desk and same chair in the same spot for over 20 years. And I wouldn't change it for the world.

Government expenditures have killed this country.

This. My home office chair is worth about $15. I went to goodwill and bought three identical chairs, put all the good parts together and used it. It works great. Meanwhile all the grubbier parts went back on the other two parts donor chairs and they went right back to good will, and are probably in someone's shoot house now. WOnder how many deer my chairs have helped bag...

Ever watch "The Rookie" and the police station (obv a hollywood set and not real). All the chairs in the police station are $4500 Herman Miller Time Life chairs.

I have seen a few issues lately where deputies get involved in situations they shouldn't. Much as I loathe going through the court process, it sometimes is necessary to figure out who is right.

Is everyone just rich today

Record Holiday spending, paying 1k car payments per vehicle, living in 1 million dollar houses, spending 10 dollars on ground beef, taking international trips every quarter. I guess I got left out lol.

We have an incredibly high standard of living here. Assuming most of us are middle class, our counterparts in western Europe have one car, maybe two, both have a tiny four cylinder engine. Their vacations are minimal even though they get lots of holiday days off. They go to a free university but its nothing like four years at the Bama Deke house, its more like community college.

The workclass has an even more stark diff. In Europe they drive old arse mini trucks and wear coveralls. No Denali 3500 contractor cadillacs. No $120 hoodies. No expensive boots. No center console or campers.

This is all compared to western Europe. You go to the developing world and the differences are even more stark. Look up District 31 in Buenos Aires. The average person in most of the world lives in a tiny apartment and drives an old four banger.

BE THANKFUL.

Trial by jury only works in societies where a large majority would be considered rational and competent. Anyone whos done jury duty knows there are a lot of irrational incompetent idiots.

Also consider the average Brit views the government in a very paternalistic light. A holdover from the time of ruling royals having a mandate from heaven and a paternal position. You can imagine in a jury where "the King versus Smith" you would have some bias to the King, even if he is a philandering arse like Charles.

Here in the states the pro-government-as-daddy bias is much less.

The court ended the case because they said the prosecutor was not authorized to be a prosecutor. There is an appeal open. There is also no double jeopardy so charges can be filed again.

Nobody has been found innocent.

When you think about it, this is what the D's miss every time with Trump. They try so hard to screw Trump, to disenfranchise him and jail him, and argue with him every time (even to kill him!!!). If they would just ignore him and not make a big stink, he wouldn't be half as popular.

Trump is growing as a politician. He realizes stonewalling and trying to eliminate Mamdani would make him bigger. Greet him, recognize him, put him in his place, move on.
