  • It’s up to the police to prove you were drunk while driving.

    Actually, its up to the prosecution to prove you were drunk while driving. And that standard is 'beyond a reasonable doubt', which I'm pretty sure 'pounding liquor after an accident to have plausible deniability on your insobriety' would make an easy argument to meet that threshold.

    The cops will take you either way and let a judge decide what to do with you.

  • You might not be able to prove it, but anyone willing to chug alcohol in front of witnesses to have that kind of plausible deniability can easily be assumed to have already been drunk to start with. That just doesn't seem like it would hold up to the 'reasonable doubt' standard...

  • The auto-driving company should be required to have something like an on-star operator available any time the vehicle receives an impact/shock above a certain threshold and any time physical safety measures are required. The local governments should not have to pay for the externalities created by these 'disruptive technology' jerks, especially when there are literal lives on the line.

  • I thought when you are accused of trafficking sexual minors it’s political suicide.

    Only if you're a democrat. If you're a republican, they ignore it and cover up for you until they can't anymore. Just ask Dennis Hastert or Gymnasium Jordan about that.

  • Because republicans have no agency or responsibility for anything bad, its always the democrats fault.

    Unfortunately, that generally convinces the republican base, because they're either too stupid or brainwashed to think otherwise.

  • The bow is going to be the next dozen votes trying to find the next person dumb enough to climb on the cross who is able to bring the Republicans together enough to win the job.

    It's either going to end up being either some absolute melon or enough moderate Republicans flip and let Dems take control. My money is on the former, given Republicans would rather burn the country down that work with Democrats.

  • He should have tried to work something out with democrats to begin with

    He worked out a deal with Biden months ago! He had a deal in may that he blew up because he had to bend the knee to the traitor caucus, so his dumb ass got what he deserved. And we get yet another clown show from the Republicans while they vote 2 dozen times for speaker.

  • They’ve just seen that doing so will draw the ire of hardliners and gain no benefit from Democrats

    If the speaker lied, reneged on deals, and was a dirty snake in the grass.

    McCarthy could have had a deal weeks ago if he gave the hardliners the finger and went with the deal he agreed on. I would bet that the Dems absolutely would have supported him against Pizza Gaetz and the rest of the traitor causus just to piss them off. But dude has all the spine of a tank of jellyfish and double backed.

    Maybe he'll learn that he's worthless if no one trusts him.

  • the word “Nazi” totally lost it’s meaning and the scope is ever increasing - it’s not more “bad/evil” nowadays

    I heard the same shit from conservatives just before Charlottesville
