I was going to title this “The Craziest Alex Jones Video Clip Ever,” but there’s so much competition I had to qualify it slightly. But it’s pretty damned jaw-dropping.
And Jones is one of our so-called president’s sources of news. Seriously. He really is. I know, right?

Apparently juries are only the law of the land when they let killer cops go free because they ‘feared for their life’.
When they determine a criminal didn’t intentionally murder someone for the sake of the Reconquista, but still hold him legally accountable for all his other crimes, it’s super-massive corruption and proof of the coddling of illegal immigrants.
Someone should be at the doors of the Senate tomorrow performing breathalyzer tests. Anyone blowing over 0.10 can’t vote as they are too impaired. You know some of these Senate asses are hitting the booze tonight to forget about what they are doing to this country, the people, their party and themselves.
And Mitt is probably sweating his ass off. He’s in a real tough spot. Oh, he’ll slime his way out somehow so that it is not his problem. But he is sweating it, and that is a good thing because he has to face himself and admit he is a pathetic dangerous politician that sold his very soul.

It’s not as though it’s a difficult task. You can even do it while condensing the brackets.
Double the standard deduction. Condense the first two tax brackets into a single bracket at 10%. Condense the next two to a single bracket at 25% Condense the next two into a single bracket at 35%. Make the current top bracket 40%. Add a new top bracket for income over 1 million at 50%.
Leave everything else the same. Big tax break for middle class supported by higher taxes on millionaires. Fewer total brackets.

re: #227 MsJ
Some do, some don’t. Some are like Tom Cotton who grew up on Fox and have completely drunk the right wing Kool aid. He’s the scary kind; dumb as a box of rocks but a true believer in radical right wing ideology.
My comments were more toward the elder Republican Senators 60 and up in age.
There are many. They were of the period where civics and history were taught more thoroughly. They had better examples of politicians to emulate. That could have been a cold war/America feeling its oats kind of thing because of the times.
And they claim they are from when America was better.
So, they have decided to not go with their own educations and become bitter old farts that have control and they are going to make everyone pay for that bitterness.
Tom Cotton and the other’s like Cruz and Rubio are just bad actor politicians. I don’t expect them to do right because they are following in the footprints of their elders.

A good reminder to stick to LISP.
Because I work for a DOD conctractor, we count lines of code to determine budgets (I hate the process). I’m on a committee for considering new languages to support via our line counter. The tool we use to enter the data in doesn’t have every language, so you have to map some languages to an equivalent one. We noticed that the tool was mapping Python to Java and Perl to Basic. That’s because Perl is older than Python or Java, but it was funny.

I don’t think it’s going to be as easy as a lot of people seem to think.
If it was the lock that it’s being hyped as, the vote wold have happened today. But it didn’t. And the longer it takes, it’s starting to become obvious just how horrible it is.
And the more people realize how damaging it will be, the chances of it failing go way up. I won’t say it’ll definitely fail, but there’s a very good chance that it will.
And that would, indeed, be fucking awesome.

No it doesn’t. It says the prosecutor overreached with the murder charge, and should have gone for manslaughter. Of course you want to use it to feed the hate that the far-right craves. You don’t have to be a monster, you choose it every day. Choose better.

Before Trump, it would have been unheard of, absolutely scandalous, for a sitting president to criticize a criminal trial verdict. I don’t know which is worse, Trump’s vulgar ignorance, or the speed with which it has been accepted as a new norm.

I think it’s more that he was released as a 5 time convict instead of being turned over to INS or ICE, and then this happened. I’m not for deportation of non-violent undocumented immigrants, but this seems like a glaring flaw that resulted in a death.

For fuck sake, I feel bad that he won’t be convicted of manslaughter but the prosecution overreached charging him with the murder statute they did and it’s not like he’s getting off the hook completely. Be mad at the prosecution not the jury and illegal immigrants.
re: #206 HappyWarrior
You know what happened is tragic but it seems to me that a murder conviction was hard to reach here. I feel awful for the young woman’s family and I think a jury definitely would have convicted for manslaughter but you can’t just convict someone of murder because the prosecution errs and overcharges someone. And as already gotten at, he is being punished for other crimes that he was convicted for.
I’m not sure that even a manslaughter charge could have been sustained. Last I heard, the defendant’s story was that he found a bag or rag (I can’t remember which) under a bench on the pier, realized there was something in it, picked it up and pulled the object out, which happened to be a gun that he fired accidentally while grasping it. Forensics stated that the bullet hit the surface of the pier something like fifty feet from the victim and bounced upward, striking her. Annie Oakley couldn’t have made this shot, and in fact the bullet might have hit almost anyone else on the pier. What’s more, there was never any suggestion of a motive or of any animus on the part of the defendant toward the victim. But IA most certainly NAL.

Yeah this wasn’t a murder. I feel bad for her family but the way this case has been used to attack all illegal aliens is disgusting.
You would think ICE would be spending all their time looking for people like Zarate, instead of entrapping the easiest targets.

You answered the question though. They go after the easy targets because it’s easy. Much easier to get the guy in plain sight who came here illegally as a child, has raised a family here, has his own business, kids in school, etc than someone like that.
