re: #272 Hecuba’s daughter
I’m not certain that is true — Bush may have been toxic by 2016 due to the obvious failures in the Middle East; the GOP base had turned against the Bush-Cheney foreign policy.
I’m not sure this is an accurate assessment: while it’s true that the “GOP base” (like virtually everybody else in the country) had lost its enthusiasm for the sort of neo-imperialist interventionism of the Dubya years; it seems like Republicans were pretty much OK with maintaining our presence in Afghanistan/Iraq as long as:
1) there might be some political points to be gained by “supporting the troops”;
2) there might be some political points to be gained by ostentatiously “opposing radical Islamism”, (i.e. ISIS);
3) (vital) there might be some political points to be gained by tarring Democrats with insufficient support for points 1) and 2);
4) there were few enough flag-draped coffins coming back that the public wouldn’t really notice.
Also: President TFG made such a show of trying to project the kick-ass tough-guy image of the US (at home and abroad) that he’d pretty much locked himself and his Admin into maintaining the status quo: at least until campaign time…..

The bike needs to be licensed not the 6 year old. the license also only costs 50 cents per year. Reading the rest of the sections of the law it talks about reporting the sales of any second hand bikes etc. I am guessing when the law was passed they were having an issue with bike thefts in the area.

When I got my first bike in 1972 at the age of six, we drove downtown to the Portsmouth, Virginia city municipal complex to license my bike. The license was printed on a sticker that we affixed to the frame. After we moved to Chesapeake a couple of years later, we didn’t bother. None of the other kids or their families bothered either. At the time, Chesapeake was more rural than Portsmouth, and had only been incorporated as an independent city for roughly a decade.

We could get bike tags that were supposed to help you get your bike back if it was stolen, but didn’t have required licensing. I got pulled over on my bicycle in my teens. The cop asked me for ID, and I explained to him that ID is not required to ride a bicycle in America. That may have just been true for my little patch of America.

Freedom in America only extends as far as the police officer you’re talking to at the moment decides it does. If they don’t like what you’re doing, they arrest you, and if you resist, they kill you. That isn’t freedom.

It’s also a way to harass people from neighboring towns who might be biking into Perth Amboy too. It’s an excuse.

We didn’t take the bike. Dad filled out some paperwork, paid the fee and we got our sticker, in a process similar to renewing the annual city-specific sticker you stick on your windshield to show that you’ve paid the annual local personal property tax on your vehicle.

Jeb’s participation in the primaries was so brief that it was irrelevant. However, Trump in 2016 claimed he had opposed the Iraq war from the start; he also disparaged NATO and praised Putin. Republican voters clearly had no interest in traditional Republican foreign policy. Bush was the epitome of Republican establishment when it came to foreign policy— the majority of voters had abandoned such positions.

re: #34 Charles Johnson

Given how short the deliberation was, I suspect the most likely outcome is that he will be acquitted of 2nd degree murder and convicted of the manslaughter charge. I’m about 50/50 on the 3rd degree murder charge.

I find it hard to believe the jury would come back this fast if they were hung. They either really believed the 9 year old girl was a mitigating circumstance, or he’s guilty on at least two charges and they got the holdouts to concede by giving up on one…or they have him guilty on all three.

It’s going to either way. If he is acquitted the public will explode. If he’s convicted the cops will.

That was my thought. If there were jurors who didn’t want to go 2nd degree, compromise would be a good way to get out of this. Full acquittal would mean riots in the streets. Police will still hammer down any celebrations because they have some systemic issues that need to be resolved.

The 3rd degree murder charge is the original charge; 2nd degree was added after more facts came to light, and was likely added after public pressure mounted to have his head on a pike. That’s the one everyone will be waiting to watch for.
That his superiors said his actions were improper is probably the key indicator that even cops know that Chauvin committed homicide. The only question is whether the jury finds him guilty on the most serious charge, or goes with one of the lesser included charges.
I don’t think the jury bought any of the defense obfuscations and deflections.
Reminding them of Chauvin kneeling on Floyd’s neck for more than 9 minutes repeatedly by showing that video doesn’t help Chauvin’s cause, nor does the nonsensical claim that it was CO poisoning that did him in, not Chauvin’s actions.
The list of charges: second-degree unintentional murder, third-degree murder and second-degree manslaughter.

City personal property tax on a car? I guess I’m jaded from living in the west my whole life. Where do the cities tax the ownership of your vehicle, and how much is it?
Technically, it may be at the county level, but in Virginia, independent cities can’t exist within counties, but my vehicles were taxed as personal property at the relevant local level in Virginia, Texas, and West Virginia. And no, I don’t remember the tax rate. Vehicles also had to undergo annual inspections in those states (Virginia used to be twice a year when I was a kid, but they dropped down to yearly sometime during my adult years), and your car had to hear a windshield sticker for that, too. In New Mexico, we don’t do inspections or even emissions testing *unless* your vehicle enters Albuquerque more than 50 days a year. In 2004, I had to explain the concept of the West Virginia annual vehicle inspection sticker to the nice MVD-Express lady registering my vehicle who was a bit perturbed that the state mandated position of the sticker partially blocked her view of the VIN number on my vehicle.

I couldn’t tell you. I haven’t lived in a state that taxed vehicles as personal property for going on 17 years, and, at the time, I didn’t care if the taxes went into the General Fund or Road money. All I cared about was if the taxes were properly paid on time.

re: #63 ericblair
In Northern Virginia, all you know is that the taxes you pay for roads go somewhere else.
In Virginia there are 95 counties and 38 independent cities. The independent cities are regarded as equivalent to the counties for many purposes. There are also townships, which are subordinate to counties, but generally provide many services to their residents that the county would otherwise provide. Counties, independent cities, and townships are rely upon the personal property tax.
In Fairfax County, where I live, there are two independent cities, Fairfax City and Falls Church. There is often some confusion with the phrase “Fairfax” as one needs to clarify “Fairfax County” or “Fairfax City”.
The townships are Clifton, Herndon, and Vienna.
Until recently, many taxation authorities would issue car window stickers when one had paid the appropriate personal property tax. This led to various police forces being able to quickly determine “You’re not from around here, are you?” while deciding if they want to issue a traffic summons. Herndon and Falls Church were particularly infamous.
These days the payment of personal property is usually tied to one’s license plate number.
I have not seen any local bicycle licenses. However, I have given up riding a bicycle due to the heavy traffic and poor driving skills on roads, and the habit of local dog owners to walk on one side of trails while their leashed dog walks on the other side of the trail.

smarter than me explains why they arent the same:
Quite a few Republicans, both officeholders and pundits, wondered why Waters’ words were ok, but Donald Trump’s remarks to the crowd on Jan. 6 were not. These folks are either ignorant or dishonest, because the legal distinction is crystal clear. Beyond Trump’s words being considerably more direct and inflammatory, the key is that such egging on is only illegal, and is not covered by the First Amendment, if it encourages imminent lawless action. So, for example, “There’s Bob standing over there. You should shoot him,” is illegal. “Someone should shoot Bob sometime,” on the other hand, is ok. This was established in Brandenburg v. Ohio.
