He's not being sentenced for sponsoring shit legislation, but for Covid19 relief fraud

Again though, it's disingenuous to say he tried diplomacy when his demands all infringed on a sovereign nation's ability to self govern and determine. And don't give me the NATO bullshit line. Russia was already bordered by other NATO nations. And frankly even if it was not, he doesnt get to decide who they can form deals and relationships with. Theyre no longer a USSR vassal state, no matter how much he'd like them to be. This was a land grab for resources, strategic access, and one old fucks personal delusions of grandeur.

I don't expect negotiations with Russia. They have no legitimate legs to stand on. The only acceptable solution should be full withdrawal of all forces from all Ukranian regions and severe international sanctions to cripple their economy even further. You don't get to break into someone else's house and then demand they negotiate with you before you leave or demand they give you one of their rooms for keeps because you don't like who they hang out with.

Oh I get the mechanics of it (attorney myself) but it still exposes a two-tier justice system where those with power and influence get overall better deals for much worse crimes than the poor and those deemed "useless" for future prosecutions. The system doesn't care about justice but rather prosecutorial efficiency and conviction rates.

Lol. Lmao even.

Who gives a shit about Russia's grievances? You don't get to invade a sovereign nation and murder its people because you dont like the way they do things in their own country. (Or at least your shouldn't, if we lived a sane world). It wasn't right when US did it in Iraq, it wasn't right when Russia did it in Ukraine, and it's certainly not right for Israel to massacre and invade Palestinian land.

This fucking ghoul gets off with an apology letter and probation, meanwhile a mom in Alabama was forced to give birth in a prison shower and sentenced to 15 years for having an addiction that she tried to seek help with and was denied resources for (convicted of endangering the fetus). The legal system is a fucking joke

And they used taxpayer dollars to develop it.

Wow, what a refreshing read. I know nothing about the author herself but her approach toward and takedown of so called "dick lit" definitely has me interested in Jonathan Abernathy You Are Kind.

Awh that's great! They've attended anti government protests. I guess we can ignore the call for a heavy handed ruthless response in retaliation in that same comment or the implicit support of their government's ongoing role in the bombing and murder of civilians. Also, nowhere did I see them specifically decrying their government over the Gaza response, only in response to "corruption"

Then how about your government stop killing and abusing Palestinians. It's almost as if decades of apartheid oppression, murder, and human rights abuses have consequences

Is it? Count the # of people in the country, appropriate the money to cover them all + some additional % for those who slip through the cracks for x amount of years, and cut checks. Done.

Seems it's not yours either

It's not a conspiracy at all. It's 100% driven by real estate and city tax incentives for office population and commerce traffic boosts to nearby businesses which the city has incentives to try and enforce

10/10 would watch that reboot

Defunding the police (horrible fucking slogan btw) isn't about just cutting off police funds and saying fuck it. It's about redirecting the funds to preventative and less militaristic interventions, including better audit equipment and oversight boards, non-lethal and non-armed social services and mental health interventions, and a refocus on community policing instead of military-style Jack Bauer larping.

Capitalists

Not correct. They have all the same powers.

No, he's not a Republican. He's a Democrat. We need to be able to call a spade a spade without getting into knots to "other" it or reclassify it to fit a preconceived narrative. Democrats are just as capable of corruption as Republicans.
