The GOP has been working in this direction for forty years. If you think this just started with Trump you have not been paying attention.

If I genuinely believe that Jodie Foster wants me to kill someone, does that make murder legal?

Also public figures have to prove "actual malice" in a defamation or libel case. Actual malice is an incredibly hard thing to prove.

Monarchy. It's the 21st Century and y'all still pay people to live a lavish lifestyle because they are distantly related to some warlord from the 9th century

I'm guessing they didn't hire an event lighting company and did it themselves. No one I know in the industry would do that.

You forgot "all consuming dread"

They train young men to drop fire on people. But their commanders won't allow them to write 'fuck' on their airplanes because it is obscene.

Behind the Bastards and Some More News have covered him albeit tangentially. Knowledge Fight has covered when Alex Jones has been on Rogan and it really illustrates how dangerously unprepared he is to deal with people like Alex

Muskrat bought it because he has poor impulse control. There's no "grand design," just a man child who desperately needs a mommy to protect him from himself.

Apparently Turkish jurisprudence operates under the same logic as my high school did in the 90s

Or the courts that would throw the law out as soon as it gets challenged the first time

Never believe that anti-Semites are completely unaware of the absurdity of their replies. They know that their remarks are frivolous, open to challenge. But they are amusing themselves, for it is their adversary who is obliged to use words responsibly, since he believes in words. The anti-Semites have the right to play. They even like to play with discourse for, by giving ridiculous reasons, they discredit the seriousness of their interlocutors. They delight in acting in bad faith, since they seek not to persuade by sound argument but to intimidate and disconcert. If you press them too closely, they will abruptly fall silent, loftily indicating by some phrase that the time for argument is past.

When people are negotiating in bad faith, don't negotiate.

We're a country founded by slave owners who wrote things like "all men are created equal"

People legitimately fall out of windows too. It just seems like notable Russian figures are far more prone to these accidents

That's just like... Your opinion man

Here's the weird part. The Texas State Legislature JUST passed a law making this kind of discrimination illegal. I don't know what this school is doing. It's like they want to pay lawyers

This behavior is why I'm good at my job

I've spent a lot of time around the wealthy. The vast majority are living in a highly distorted reality. I think it comes from the fact that they are surrounded by yes men and sycophants. They never get told no, no matter how shitty they behave or how stupid their ideas are .

They sent me an offer. I ain't buying

Bold of you to assume that asshat cares about the law

Now that's a man who's played knifey spoony before

I'm almost starting to think these Republicans are arguing in bad faith

That's a job I would never volunteer for

That was once true of reddit. If this is going to be a successful model it will diversify over time

They don't do much math on movies or TV so... no

This is why I continue to buy high quality Blu-ray releases for films I love. Physical media is something you own. I generally rip it and put it on a Plex server for easy access and it reduces wear and tear on my precious criterion discs.

I can't see how it isn't, but once terrorism is invoked it seems like any abuse is acceptable

They're definitely covering for little girl rape too
