Kalit posted:Interesting, thanks for posting. I was assuming that the DoJ intervention in Minneapolis won't change a single thing, but maybe it will? Thank gently caress it's still not Trump's DoJ. Eh, Portland’s police have been involved with the DoJ since Obama, their response this whole time has been so wipe their rear end with the DoJ critiques.

Data Graham posted:Really I'm more worried about what elaborate revenge fantasies are playing out in their heads when I see them go by me at Walmart and giving me the side-eye. This guy writes a seething column about how not being vaccinated makes him awesome and me one of "the worst people in the world", the next guy watched Tucker Carlson exhort him to rip the mask off the next kid he sees. None of them are going to do anything, at least not yet, but they're all just going through their days SO, SO MAD AND TERRIFIED about everything around them. Wait, is it not normal to feel a constant state of existential panic and doom?

Paracaidas posted:Further crossposting, this time from polliwanks (or whatever its official name is): Oregon is a good House seat to worry about, since while the Dems have a supermajority in the legislature and hold the governor’s office, they granted redistricting power to the Republicans on the promise the R’s won’t obstruct every bit of basic legislation by illegally walking out on sessions like they did last year. So yeah, I’m sure that’ll totally work out fine and dandy.

Rea posted:They didn't "grant redistricting power to the Republicans." They (idiotically, yes) gave 50-50 control of a redistricting committee to the GOP. What this means is the maps will likely be drawn by the Oregon state court. Big difference between that and "grant[ing] redistricting power to the Republicans". Eesh, fair enough, I completely misread that article. Thanks for the correction!

Sis and I met with mom at an Applebees during a -30F blizzard and all the customers and employees were high. Spokane by comparison felt like it had it's poo poo together. Oh poo poo, was that at St Pats? My buddy’s mom was a doc there, I remember some serious hubbub between employees and management around that time, but not what it was about.

It involves a ton of work and treatment and whatnot, but while it’s sealed court records and whatnot, it’d still make sense for someone to disclose that background in a psychological evaluation or some such, which are common in law enforcement hiring processes.

Meatball posted:They tried to do it on 1/6 and sent in the rioters when the vote failed. Then doing it on a state level is almost guaranteed, and it is absolutely going to happen in the presidential election if they have majorities in the house and senate. I’m wondering how much a test case Oregon will be, just a few weeks before 1/6 there was an armed right wing mob attempting to storm the state capital, and they got outright let in by one of the Republican representatives. He’s being charged, but in the meantime the statewide Republican Party has expressly stated their support of him and is further stoking the loons

Sarcastro posted:My wife just texted me that "the Kraken attorneys are about to get turbofucked" tweet, and I literally giggled and came here. That's a judge getting ready to enact a Red Wedding-level bloodbath on those incompetent motherfuckers, and as an attorney who is not remotely that stupid, I could not be happier. My expectations are much lower, but even if the judge is simply going to sate their ego by absolutely unloading on the softest of targets it should be some good schadenfreude.

Heck Yes! Loam! posted:In a normal world it would be a good thing that the US is not sending troops to Haiti. I am not sure we live in that world so I am not sure how to feel about this after a formal request for aid was sent. In a normal world the US would be able to respond to massive labor/manpower/infrastructure support/medical assistance/etc needs without the use of their military, maybe because they’d have civilian corps responsible for that kind of thing or whatever, but the military is all we’ve got as it is.

There’s also the added flavor that in my experience trial lawyers absolutely love the gamesmanship, getting to show what savvy operators they are for their clients while being above it all, changing their beliefs at the drop of a hat as it suits whoever pays the bills, so that their facing actual real-world consequences for their puffery can be a brutally cold shock, especially for such scummy attorneys. Basically this small group of assholes getting a sudden and unhappy reminder that they’re not above it all and it rules.

Genuinely curious since I ignored the whole thing as much as possible, was there much scientific value to Bezos’ indulgence? Like, I get some vague stuff is better than no effort, but it kinda seemed like he cribbed 60 year old NASA notes and stuffed them into a fancy new chassis, which maybe is worth it in and of itself, but came off as, well, halfassed and pointless.
