This could be in NotTheOnion. I had to check to make sure it wasn’t satire.

And women

Rule number 1: Don’t mess with rich people’s money. That’ll get you in trouble no matter where you fall on the hierarchy.

And then he “died”.

Either he’s actually dead, in which case he wasn’t punished for what he did, but for threatening to expose other powerful people, or he’s alive and living in exile.

Probably the former, but when it comes to the wealthy and powerful, I won’t rule anything out.

That’s a good point, and it supports mine in fact. The legislation I want would be something like health care reform. When the administration’s goals aren’t and were never to create lasting meaningful change for the average citizen, when the judiciary rubber stamps things we all know are wrong, the legislative process becomes obsolete.

We aren’t measuring success by the same metrics as they are.

I disagree. Existing laws don’t contemplate cars that are not under direct control of a human. Who gets a ticket for a driverless car running a stop sign? How do you enforce that law?

I actually feel bad for the one who apologized. She deserves to be reprimanded and taught why her actions were unacceptable, not national outrage.

18 year olds do stupid things. University is the first time a lot of 18 year olds leave their comfort zone and interact with people from other cultures. People that young don’t always realize the prejudices they hold until they’re forced to confront them.

Some things were better before everything was recorded and posted on the internet. A ten second clip of drunk girls doing something dumb and insensitive and now the whole country is coming down on them. Absolutely insane.

Can you imagine if a ten second clip of something stupid you did when you were 18 on your way to a house party went viral like this?

A ham sharing mission of goodwill

Only if you presume Panera is an English word. Otherwise, it’s pretty close to “bread store”.

So Kaseya all over again. Kaseya’s was a bit worse due to the attack method, but these systems need to be air tight.

When Kaseya’s massive breach was discovered, we shut down our server and never turned it back on. We immediately pivoted to a different product. Kaseya will never regain my trust after that.

Well, that last point I disagree with. How much legislation have republicans passed despite controlling all three branches of government in the last 2 years? The only thing they know is sound bites for their propaganda and obstruction of anything that would actually benefit Americans.

Why are still so few laws that would penalize the company for misbehaving self driving cars? It’s no longer a new problem.

I’m real curious to know what che deal is with the rear elevator ripping off though. Mechanical failure or failure due to massive forces bing applied.

We really needed statistics to say “Conservatives got pissed when they realized that they’d lost, and watched something else instead”?

It would be crazier if their ratings didn’t drop.

I think cultists gonna cult. They’ve been so brainwashed that all democrats are demons that they will vote republican no matter what even if you point to a democrat who has supported everything they care about…

But maybe you’re right - except for the fact that he won’t be removed by the senate. If they could find the votes, then absolutely they should

Not sure if you meant to reply to someone else, but I’ll bite.

I didn’t say any of that stuff is allowed or ok, that’s your straw man.

Impeachment isn’t the only avenue to punishing those crimes. In fact, I’d say it’s one of the worst at this point. I don’t want them fired, I want them jailed.

The only potential benefit I could see to impeachment would be discovery and congressional subpoenas which could ultimately be used as evidence in a criminal trial.

You’re not wrong and I don’t necessarily disagree with you. But I would be prioritizing legislation to fix things over trying and failing to remove via impeachment.

I also believe that accountability is necessary. Investigations and preparation of criminal charges should begin immediately.

Yeah, but that’s the problem. If he’s spineless then there’s a good chance someone else would be pulling his strings.

Did we just become best friends?

But my point is that even if you remove Trump, what exactly makes you think Vance will be more rational? Vance has no scruples about lying through is teeth to get what he wants, he has no issues with demonizing his political oponents. He has backed the party and talked their talking points every step of the way.

This isn’t like the first time when Pence was next in line. Someone who stood a chance of being reasonable. Someone who still had enough honor to certify the vote despite what Nacho Supreme cold him. Vance is a yes man, and if it isn’t Trump pulling his strings, it’ll be someone else like Steven Miller.
