His lawyers did... It is literally their job, unfortunately for them
The judge referenced in this article is for one of the federal trials. He does have charges in Georgia that he wouldn't be able to pardon, but who knows how that would go down... leading the nation from a Fulton country correctional facility doesn't sound like fun.
Character in the thumbnail is throwing the kukri backwards
Never met a vegetarian?
Thanks for demonstration how being a parent can actually make you a worse person. Your children, or OPs for that matter, deserve to be safe and secure only as much as anyone else's, despite what your hormones may have convinced you.
Going to the beach is nicer in a swimsuit than a heavy coat and mittens.
I'd rather do pretty much anything in the heat of Summer than during any of the winter months.
Hardly the first time someone has smiled in a mugshot, guilty or innocent.
If found innocent then it takes on an 'I told you so' energy. If guilty it makes you look like an even bigger piece of shit.
I wouldn't be surprised if the severity of their situation hasn't fully set in yet. The realization will come crashing down if/when the first of them is found guilty.
Tbh I wouldn't know what to make of someone wearing a rainbow swastika
In general I try not to attribute something to malice if it is better explained by stupidity.
These clowns are stretching my faith in that
Can't say that any of those things you listed someone should be ashamed of, but maybe not proud of them either.
Fwiw, Trump either genuinely believes he's done nothing wrong, or he needs his fans to believe it, so him saying this kinda tracks.
I guess there's a reason pride is a deadly sin
Sounds great, but someone would sue again. A loan servicer if not a republican
Go to a therapist if you're struggling with your mental health
Easy to say. Difficult to do. Even among Americans who have health insurance, access to mental healthcare is abysmal.
Real question here. I don't know how the number of attempts is calculated. If a single person attempts unsuccessfully 3 times, then is that recorded as 3 separate attempts? Or is this recording the number of unique people who have attempted suicide any number of times?
If it's the former then it may be an indicator that women prefer methods of suicide that are less likely to succeed, but it is much harder to tell how many individual women actually attempt suicide compared to men.
Also, if a person is suffering enough that they're seriously contemplating suicide, is taking that option away from them really the right thing to do? There's also the issue of any such system being abused. It's easy to imagine law enforcement using this as a way to disarm groups and individuals for political reasons.
In this case that's fair, but in some cases, particularly attempted murders, EMS may have to wait for police to ensure the scene is safe for them to work in anyway. Not to mention most police have at least some first aid training. Police response times are also very important.
Yeah federated platforms like lemmy are a potential solution. I would guess they aren't more popular because nobody directly profits from the success of these platforms, and since no one entity has control of it people in positions of power may be wary of adopting it.
Also a distributed platform is pretty much always going to be more complicated. This scares off the casual users that make up the majority of social media usernames.
Look at Linux; you can be more open, better on paper, cheaper, and even easier to use in some cases, but the success of online platforms is not a meritocracy. It's a pageant.
And the joke is that Lemmy users are much further left than that.
Aside from the typical misogyny this movie in particular makes some pointed criticisms of masculinity. They either don't see that reactions like this makes their masculinity look very insecure, or they are aware that hatred sells to their audience better than fair level-headed reactions.
Most do, in my experience. These guys are more like right wing influencers with a Christian theme than actual clergy, as far as I can tell.
The suspect was also killed by police shortly after...
Can't say I feel bad for him, but I'm guessing his death is cold comfort to the family & friends of the victim.
