He was staying at a hotel out-of-state while giving evidence against Boeing.
He was found dead in his car in the hotel parking lot from a 'self-inflicted wound'.

There's really no other way to look at it logically than he was murdered by Boeing. Nothing else adds up.

The most terrifying aspect is that it isn't just gay marriage at stake here - Interracial marriages, atheist marriages, inter-abled marriages.. ALL marriages are at risk if a person you've never met won't sign a piece of paper.

“So Mr. Chairman, you’re saying because you think Sen. Grassley violated the rule, you’re going to violate the rule?” [Sen. John Kennedy] asked.

“It’s called precedent, senator,” replied Durbin.

Seriously. The recent story of just how many people have died from the cops 'giving them something to calm them down' is insane. If you're not my doctor, you don't get to dose me with anything.

Jesus Fucking Christ, pick a side, article:

Average age of shooter was 16
"It’s not really about gun ownership"
More than half of the shooters got the firearm they used from a family member or a relative. About 30% got a weapon from the illegal market, while 22% obtained weapons from friends or acquaintances.

So 70% got it through someone who legally owned the gun already, and 30% bought it illegally. A 16 year old cannot purchase a gun legally.

SURE SEEMS LIKE PEOPLE OWNING A GUN IS A FACTOR, THEN, HUH

From what I understand - the first action the bad actors are taking are releasing the family trees to "out" anyone with Jewish relatives.

So, just hate crimes to start.

Honestly, the worst part is going to a doctor who you can tell is mildly religious and they start asking questions about why you think you feel anxiety and depression.

The trauma response to lie and hide is so strong, it takes SO MUCH effort to just be honest that it was your religious upbringing... and the second you do, they act like you're personally attacking them. I've had doctors/nurses go from being warm and kind to suddenly going cold because I had the audacity to say that their religion is the cause of my trauma. You just have to keep looking for a new doctor until someone gets it.

Never thought I would see the day where Google crumbles, but they're actively sprinting towards it now.

We should refer to him as a convicted rapist all the time.

So, openly admitting it was "quid pro quo". Cool.

DWI stands for Driving While Intoxicated, not Driving While Impaired. The restriction in the law is against "intoxicating liquor, cannabis, or any drug".

A heart attack is not liquor, cannabis or a drug, therefore, it is not reasonable to charge this woman with a DWI.

As someone who did, I understand the sentiment but it isn't that easy. I have so many friends and family members who are stuck there because they can't save enough resources to leave.

Or better yet - don't interview him at all. Do an exposé piece on him that details everything and run it primarily in his district if you want to actually affect change.

The fact that he's being interviewed only adds to his credibility, and no matter what happens here, people are going to think he's just misunderstood, since "He'd be in jail if this were all true, right?"

He should be.

Yeah.. almost like they're stuck in a cycle of poverty and can't save enough money for a down payment for a house either.

So 'funny'.

Yeah, turns out moderating user generated content to guarantee it being safe for children is expensive.

I still want journalists to get definitive answers on things like, 'Who gets custody?' 'How much child support is necessary for an embryo?' 'If life begins at conception, does this mean an embryo frozen for 21 years that is implanted and born can drink alcohol from a baby bottle since they're technically 'of age'?'

There are so many STUPID repercussions from this ruling, and there's no logical explanation for it all. It's the beginning of the end of the separation of church and state.

Just a little panic attack - as a treat.

Firstly, your 'instance' is just like your email server. It doesn't matter if it's @yahoo.com or @google.com, I can still email you and you can respond. Some people even have their own servers.

Next, imagine if Facebook, Instagram and Twitter users could all follow each other's posts. The posts are already pretty much the same but we just add @Facebook or @Twitter to the end. You could log in to one, but see posts from the others. The only difference is the layout and design of the interface, like the difference between 'Gmail' and 'Outlook'.

You can also move between servers easily if you want. Sick of @Facebook? Move to @Instagram without losing followers.

'Boss' is a pretty good one for someone you're trying to show respect to. 'Buddy' is good if you're on an even field.

Something which, notably, happens on around 1% of all applications, but is prosecuted less than 0.000005% of the time.

From 2008 - 2012 there were 32 million background checks, and 373,900 rejections.

Between FY 2008 and FY 2015, an 8-year period, ATF formally referred 509 NICS denial
cases that included 558 subjects to USAOs for possible prosecution. The USAOs
accepted for consideration of prosecution 254 subjects (or less than 32 subjects per
year) and declined to prosecute 272 subjects.

32 prosecutions a year for an average of 6 million background checks (completed, there is a much larger number for bg checks initiated)

Fantastic news.

lmao, no.

It was specifically written after the civil war so that the South could still technically have slavery, they just have to criminalize and convict a person first. It's how we get the 'war on drugs' where even though black and white populations smoke around the same amount, black populations were criminalized FAR harsher, and sent to prison far more often. It's exactly "Rules for thee, but not for me" on a grand scale where white people would likely 'get a pass' for their first arrest. That grace was not extended to black populations, and so we're back at having slavery with extra steps.

It's a nice thought that it just happened over time by accident, but in reality it was planned like this.

I remember one time when my dad renewed his car's tags they misspelled his name on one of the forms and he only noticed after he was leaving.

It took another 30 minutes to sign paperwork confirming that (for example) 'Austin' and 'Austyn' are the same person, and that this was not intended to cause fraud. I can imagine someone seeing/experiencing that for the first time and thinking they found the perfect loophole.

Seriously - the most dangerous roads I've ever been on were in Texas where there were 12 lane highways, and crazy people who wanted to drive 100MPH past you in the right-hand lane, all while people are merging on and off the highway.

Doing the speed limit meant that EVERYONE was driving faster than you, which meant that you were a lot more likely to get rear-ended from someone who didn't see you in time. You have to speed to stay safe, and then you add in construction zones and it's just a death trap.

Where is our public transportation option?

Can you explain why you put 'diagnosed' in quotes?

I dunno, He seems pretty incapable of doing the work. I doubt he could even understand the job, considering he 'won against Obama in 2016' and 'is worried about Biden causing world war II'

It's only a little funny seeing just how many people in attendance were actually black.

Because rules are how society works. If both parties agree to throw out the rules.. we don't have a democracy anymore.
