What is actually BS is the legal fiction that 18 year old are ‘adults.’ This was concocted as protests about drafting kids too young to vote mounted during Viet Nam.
Adulthood isn’t magically achieved on the day you turn 18. Rather, adulthood happens gradually, step wise.
In much of the...
Why do you think that?
I mean, in a way, you are correct: If Trump had not been running for re-election, he might not have been so determined to conceal his encounter there with Stormy Daniels that he committed fraud to conceal the fact that he was paying hush money in order to influence an...
How do you figure? I get it that you think there should have been a change of venue. I honestly don’t know that the verdicts would have differed. I understand that you believe those politically motive voted to support Trump would have been more inclined to acquit but as far as I can tell, his...
Well, no: what he did was commit campaign finance fraud. There was no legitimate reason for him to have attempted to hide the payments. It is even difficult to imagine the man feared this indiscretion would lose him the election, having famously declared he could shoot someone on Fifth Avenue...
I’ve read that the Secret Service has already been in talks about making necessary accommodations in whatever institution he might be sentenced to if he is convicted. This absolutely would be necessary as, even if a convicted felon, Trump is entitled to SS protection for life. It is difficult...
In the case of Trump or at least his current legal woes, and ours, it is less a question of (his) wealth and much more a question of our political future: Does democracy fall? Because make no mistake: If Trump walks away free, we shall have lost our democracy and the US will not be the only...
Not as unusual as you would think.
I'm not certain whether your are incredibly naive or willfully ignorant but women are often raped by guards and other males who work or are in women's prisons.
Absolutely untrue. Sexual assault happens in prison to male and female persons as well as trans and non-binary individuals and gay people. It's horrible and it needs to be stopped.
No one and I mean NO PERSON ever deserves to be raped. It should not be considered just part of the penal...
No. An investigation is to investigate what facts there are pertaining to a situation/case/allegation. Not to prove or disprove anything. As soon as you introduce prove or disprove, you are introducing bias. Whether it is to prove an allegation or to disprove an allegation. Investigations...
I more readily understand and .....sympathize with: I don't approve of what you did but I sympathize with why you did it. The reverse of what you wrote.
Totally unrelated made up situation:
I don't approve of the fact that you cut your husband's shirts up into 1 inch squares because you...
I thought that was against your religious and moral views?
Interesting how you see that giving childbirth is somehow equivalent to dead babies, incinerated bushfire victims, severed limbs and people with steering wheels embedded in their chest cavities and yet this is still something you think...
I thought that you were going to ask if we could render an apple for its juice and make cider or perhaps pick up a pencil and paper and render a drawing of an apple….
Or cannibalize a computer for its parts…,
