I’d argue against the word “earn” even. One cannot earn one billion dollars at all.

Nobody deserves $1 billion when it would take a teacher about 20,000 years to make the same amount. And it’s not earned if it’s not deserved.

But that’s just semantic ranting, you’re right.

She has a website that very clearly explains her platform.

Except that he’s explicitly choosing to be a political candidate for the purpose of avoiding the lawsuits. A lot of these allegations occurred before he announced he was re-running, and then the lawsuits got put on hold.

Your scenario creates a method for anyone to delay consequences by running for office. Although we both know it wouldn’t really work for anyone. Trump gets his special treatment.

With how trigger happy police are, the false positives would lead to more deaths than they prevent. And police would claim it’s justified because the machine told them so.

Formosa’s emissions could more than triple the cancer risk in some St. James neighborhoods.

I hadn’t heard of this area. It’s insane that any of this was ever allowed, and especially directly next to a residential area.

If submerged land can be called continents, where’s the line between what is and isn’t a continent?

Yeah, those questions are the only the only way I stay sane. I’ve never been asked to participate in a poll so I have to assume the demographics are biased toward specific groups, like people who answer land line phones.

Strangely, it’s not racism. This Attorney General is just notoriously an asshole.

Sandra Hemme, a white woman, was the longest wrongfully incarcerated person, and she recently went through the same issue in Missouri.

I’m sure you’re not wrong about the racism, but his bullshit seems to transcend race.

Do polls make anyone else unreasonably angry?

Unless it’s 20 points, I can’t fathom how that many people support Trump. He never says anything of value in any speech. There’s no platform to support. He just needs power to avoid criminal consequences, and half the country is good with that.

Bailey, who was appointed attorney general … has a history of opposing overturning convictions, even when local prosecutors cite evidence of actual innocence.

In 2023, Bailey’s office argued against then-St. Louis Circuit Attorney Kim Gardner’s effort to overturn the murder conviction of Lamar Johnson, who was imprisoned 28 years. A St. Louis judge sided with Johnson, who was freed.

Bailey’s office also argued in court in May against freeing Christopher Dunn, who has spent 33 years in prison for a 1990 killing that St. Louis Circuit Attorney Gabe Gore determined that Dunn probably didn’t commit. A judge is still deciding that case.

And Bailey is opposing St. Louis County Prosecuting Attorney Wesley Bell’s effort to set aside the murder conviction of Marcellus Williams. A hearing is Aug. 21 — just a month before Williams is scheduled to be executed. Testing unavailable at the time of the 1998 stabbing death found another person’s DNA on the knife, but not Williams’.

I would love to hear his justification for all of these. Is it just the for-profit prison money, or the pride of not being wrong?

Ah yes, the strategic ambiguity that strategist Trump is known to utilize.

Good thing the ambit is so broad as to hold all of his strategies.

How does one prove whether or not something is official business if official business can’t be used in any trial?

Who exactly? I think you underestimate the power of being an incumbent.

Definitely not a step up. I don’t think…

Train spotting used to be the niche hobby.

We’ve come a long way. I don’t know which way, but here we are.

It’s possible, but the feature isn’t supported on your OS.

He looks badass from the top, but under the water his lil legs are paddling at full speed.

Does that mean Jesus had a hotter summer?

There’s a movie in here somewhere.
