    Scary immigrants! Springfield, Ohio. Anything really dumb you hear probably ties back to either scary immigrants or JD fucking a sofa.

    Perfectly timed for this point in the cycle. Her campaign staff are quite brilliant.

    Israel

    Chopper replied to SmokeyBear1861's topic in Cloak Room

    This article is about Kamala Harris sending signals about her intentions regarding Israel when/if she becomes President. But it appears the Palestinian support groups are too caught up in their own metrics to understand. https://slate.com/news-and-politics/2024/09/kamala-harris-israel-policy-palestine-gaza-war.html

    Yes, call your local chapter of Republicans Afraid of Voters for more information.

    If you say so. I'm sure FL's dickhead governor will get right on that. Forgive me if I don't hold my breath.

    Just an educated guess: The dark meat is a function of exports to China, and the Chinese prefer dark meat. Wings are a function of the US demand for restaurants serving wings.

    That's why they organized Project 2025 this time, including detailed implementation plans such as drafted presidential orders and legislation. If you think the first 4 years with dotard as president were bad, if there's a next time it will be much, much worse.

    "brilliant election strategy" by fuckin' weirdos

    Yeah but if there were no QI there would be many more of 'em. I mentioned the EC because of how politics work in this country and the fact that conservative southern and rural midwest states have outsized voting power. But maybe you're right, maybe there will be a national movement against law enforcement. Personally I'd start with abolishing police unions.

    Yes in this case it's the Fateh-110 that Iran has sent to RZ.

    CO doesn't purport to limit damages in federal court. The law is a state law. If you want to abolish qualified immunity federally the CO law is an example of a compromise that had to be made in order to secure passage of removal of qualified immunity in a blue state. If you're hoping for Congress to act, at a minimum it'd take adding Puerto Rico and DC as states, and possibly even abolishment of the EC. However, in my estimation, it would still be highly unlikely as Congress and the federal judiciary wouldn't want to put civil lawsuits against law enforcement on the federal docket. Therefore, laws of individual states would still guide.

    So from what I've read ATACMS > SRBM in terms of destructive power, ability to hit a wider area, and accuracy. Seems like a bad trade for RZ if that's the consequence for buying Iranian missiles.
  16. Chopper
    I'm in CO and the state just removed Qualified Immunity protection for LEO. There's a $25k limit however on damages for lawsuits alleging violations of civil rights. I don't know if QI removal is working as intended. "Policing" and all that such departments are responsible for needs to be reconfigured from the ground up. That's what "Defund the Po" was about but they were pretty dumb about naming it.

    I think "maximum" needs to replace "minimum" esp in FL.

    This is an argument for speed camera enforcement rather than manned-enforcement. Ordering a driver to roll down their window and exit a vehicle are ingrained in police procedure, often for the use of subtextual searches, and there's not a winning argument that would change that. Not in this country anyway.
  19. Chopper
    Good catch. Florida is among several states who've recently enacted similar laws. They mandate practive action but even without the law citizens are still required to move back from a police operation if so directed. One law that took effect in FL in July 2024 eliminated city-controlled citizen-police review boards. It's all in the control of the state and (shockingly) stacked in the favor of law enforcement.

    In the post you responded to I mentioned their disorganized shit show during the traffic stop. But that's not what others are complaining about, nor what anyone outside of police circles cares about. Police violate procedure in far more significant ways every day of the fucking week.

    I agree. For Harris the campaign is only 107 days. As Marcie Wheeler pointed out, we're only on Day 51. Only 48% of her total days to campaign have passed, and voters just now tuning in will have more than double the time we've already had to get to know her. Voters already know who the other guy is.
  23. Chopper
    You don't believe the cops can order him to roll down his window, or to step out of the vehicle? Because that's flat wrong. When I watched the video I saw the cops group behavior as a disorganized shitshow, where they seemed to botch how to handle and organize a traffic stop, but nothing they did to the driver in the first minute of the video seemed to violate any of his rights.
  24. Chopper
    A huge proliferation of guns has broken our society. I don't hate the police for issuing traffic citations nor for wanting drivers to be cooperative when they're pulled over. I hate the police for being murderous thugs who stick together like mafioso, having the power to avoid almost all legal accountability, and how police departments suck up huge portions, quite often a majority, of any city's budget.

    It's probably Florida's new so-called buffer zone law. New Florida law creates buffer zone around first responders, police (tallahassee.com)
