Why are you lecturing me?

It's what we traditionally refer to as "a discussion." We hone our thoughts and opinions on each other's until they match, or until we get tired of doing so, or until we decide we do not wish to, or cannot, learn any further from each other.

Prosecuting is fine. It's when they have all the resources, and the defendant has a Public Defender getting paid practically nothing, and has practically no time to prepare, but the prosecution come at them like they are OJ Simpson that I have an issue.

I don’t think you can blame the prosecutors for doing their jobs (assuming they’re not breaking the rules in how they do it) under that system.

I think I can, too. This smacks of "just following orders," or "just playing the game." They knowingly and deliberately screw people for no good reason.

That confused me at first, but I realized that he's speaking "orders of magnitude," which means that 365 rounds to 100.

It's mostly done in physics, and briefly, your only count the number of digits. If I'm comparing a number with 3 zeros to a number with 12 zeroes, the actual number hardly matters.

That's a good thing, is it?

I prefer this version, but I enjoy a good bass rumble.

Maybe not "just." But the clear intent is to confound the reader so they will click the link.

Yes. Always good to say it again, though, lest people forget.

They aren't MAGA Republicans. They are just Republicans. Whatever remnants of sanity those people may have left is not calling the shots.

I'm reminded of a line from Yes, Minister.

If you're going to do this damn stupid thing, so do it in this damn stupid way.

If they actually wanted this to work, they world have given people some time to get their shit in order.

I was thinking something similar. If I could only taste boobs, I could probably be ok.

As if you guys needed another reason to not come to the US.

On the other hand, if we did wind up invading you, this will be a death list.
