Y'know this one in particular hits a bit too close to home, I was bringing some of the economy issues to another group a while back and why it's important we need to get things back on track by doing these retaliations, and one of their first responses about the economy being in shambles was literally just:

'stop putting all the blame on Biden'
'not everything was HIS fault'
'it's SO easy to put the blame on Biden'


Accountability really is gone in this country, huh?

Something tells me they're going to have serious difficulty coaxing a death penalty out of a jury on this one. It's not that he's particularly sympathetic, but like it or not, his victim is likely even less sympathetic.
Probably not death, but he’ll likely get life. Dude was pretty idiotic to just do a plain not guilty. With the chronic pain, the fact he wasn’t on UH’s plan, a rich family/can afford a good lawyer, and the fact NYC has the strongest insanity case laws, he could’ve had an actual shot of “not guilty by reason of insanity”
Regardless, will gladly laugh at reddit having another mega meltdown when he’s found guilty.
 
I've read some stories from Japland that if you are on Death Row, the warden of the prison himself will come by your cell to check on you every morning. He'll just look you over and then look over your cell for infractions. He might do this for years. Then one random day, just like all of the others, he says: Today is your execution date, follow me. The japs still execute via hanging.
The reason they don't give the prisoners the date of execution before the day of is because when they did that the prisoners would commit suicide before they could be executed. Also, America is basically the only country with the death penalty that doesn't execute by hanging.

Death may be preferable to living in a state psychiatric hospital for the rest of your life being tied down and force fed pills by giant gorilla CNAs from the Congo.
 
When is Trump going to get around to addressing the amount of undocumented Kiwis

its a good thing they are illiterate because with such a numerical disparity, the second they were to become aware they would overrun us and overthrow us

for real though how many of those are just straight up Feds or atleast Fed interns?
 
It may be nice but you get executed at the end. The worst part about being on Death Row is the fact there are people "fighting for you" and telling you to never give up hope. Even when you are lead into the execution chamber, there is a chance you will get a reprieve from the governor. However the call never comes and you die.

I'd much rather just get it over with. If you decided I deserve to be killed, well what the fuck are we waiting for? The fucked up thing is if I am on death row but attempt suicide, they'll still do their best to revive me so they can eventually be the ones to kill me instead. Don't even answer the phone if the governor calls to stay my execution - just kill me.
 
The screaming from the EU about the tariffs will be hilarious. Trump's chart says they charge us 39 percent, so we'll now charge them 20 percent. (And yes, I know the consumer pays tariffs)

I'm not sure how Trump calculates the EU tariffs, since he's supposedly adding up currency manipulation and something about non-monetary trade barriers?

Feds and their interns, bots, and troons and other lolcows searching for their name and hate-reading their own threads.
 
25 percent tariffs on foreign-manufactured cars. Many "foreign" cars are made in the US to a degree that will avoid tariffs. My Jap cars have all been US made.

Aren't Audis are all foreign? I've never met an Audi driver that wasn't an asshole, so fuck them.
That's the point. Trump's economic policy isn't against non-US companies operating here, but they should be employing Americans to make goods for American consumers.
 
The last couple clothing items I bought were manufactured in Thailand and Bangladesh, who now will be tariffed 36 and 37 percent. Many "quality" clothing brands in the US have moved manufacturing to Thailand, including L.L. Bean.
The only good things LL Bean still makes (duck boots and boat & totes) are still made in the US anyways.

Well none of them are reading this thread.

Edit for clarity: They need to be logged in to read it.

Everyone will end up bending the knee just as long a Trump can keep the GOP inline.

The US is the single largest and richest nation on earth and being shut out of it's market would be massive problem for most other countries.

After a few weeks of pain and strife the US should emerge stronger as their US based companies can complete on a more even level.

Just as an example Canada charges a 300% tariff on US milk and cheese imports to "protect" the local dairy farmers. The dairy farmers lobby very heavy and are doing even more now to try to force the Feds to keep the tariff as they know the second the tariffs drops Canadians won't be forced to buy their substandard butter and cheese at exorbitant prices.

Really up here in Canukistan the only losers from the tariffs will be the rich people who control the monopolies.

Depending on the venue, the jury may have no say in sentencing, and may only be allowed to take in the facts and decide whether they fit the law for sentencing.

In unrelated news, the voter ID thing in WI is a constitutional amendment. I don't see how the new lib majority SC can argue that a constitutional amendment is unconstitutional..
