Good luck on challenging the government and case law about open fields. In my local area, a 10ft privacy fence around an entire property was just about the only thing that made a house's curtilage extend to the property line. I was actually amazed when the court went in their favor.

Having the shame to resign puts her ahead of 99.99% of a certain group of people.

If the testimony reveals criminal actions, then criminal charges can be filed. That was the big 'whoooah' from the testimonies of the other trump children; their testimonies apparently contained elements of criminal offenses beyond the simple civil matters of this trial.

In the real words of ER docs everywhere, "Everybody dies of shock."

Eat alfalfa. Jump the fence and be 10 miles away from where you expect it to be. You'll never find it before you have to sleep, and that's when it'll get ya.

People have been conditioned over the past decade to not engage with long replies or complex thoughts

I think this has two parts. One, it's just so easy for any long/complex comment to attract 'attacks' that will target some small minutia. The internet in general seems to find pedantry of grammar and small inconsistencies (in an allegory, for instance, which is not supposed to be an exact match for the tale it's telling) to be the height of humor and the best way to 'counter' an argument.

Second, I think people in general are more demanding of having their space be as comfortable and similar to them as possible. My friends of nearly three decades and I have plenty of things we disagree about, and even argue about, but it seems as if differences are no longer accepted. Let's pick a common and slightly humorous one from Lemmy: if you and I were to disagree about the extent of how evil a conservative is (not even that they are evil, or do evil, or whatever else), one or the other of us would be blocking the other, haranguing the moral turpitude that is said different belief, etc.

It combines to make anything but short, bland or 'act like they are acting' comments a headache to actually post. I've found myself typing up a response to a biology article somebody had posted, and eventually just hit the cancel button because it wasn't worth the bother.

As someone who has had to take care of both, I much prefer the dog. One, they're more cuddle loving, and two... they shit less. Way less.

Nah, mate. You're not pointing out facts. I can, and have, left out bills for years at a time in a communal area of the house, and none of my friends or family have taken them. Thefts among friends and loved ones are not considered normal.

I hope his prison wardens give him pants that don't support adult diapers.

Yellow ties, mustard green coat, orange slacks?

Start a band.

So what are the actual outcomes that we might see? The courts eventually ruling that trump can't be tossed out for insurrection until he is convicted of a crime analogous to or part of insurrection? The courts saying individual states' electoral commissions/agencies can declare someone as an insurrectionist and block them? Or will the supreme court give their buddy a pat on the back and a treat, and say a conviction for insurrection has to be done at the federal level, if not outright declared by congress or some such stupidity?
