  1. somebody with skillz please edit this so that everytime he says she lies or is a liar, a bell chimes and "+$1,000,000" scrolls up the screen.
  2. tldw: If you want to survive the apocalypse, skip the cybertruck and buy two subarus for about the same price. Bonus: People will mistake you for a lesbian instead of an elmo bro.
  3. Appears to be using a driver. Should have gone with a 7 iron.
  4. More fucking lies. That asshole knows that most of the voucher money in those other states went to people who already had kids in private schools. He knows the same would happen here. That's the entire point of the bill, and he knows it. CALL HIM OUT ON THE LIES.
  5. Because the system is working the way its supposed to. Also, something about somehow this protects your rights when you are the defendant.
  6. You can urge, argue, advocate, counsel, whatever. But its really simple: You cannot lie. Period. Full stop. You lie, you get sanctioned. You cannot lie to the judge, to the jury, to your client, to the defendant, to the media. Why is this so hard? And yes. If you know for a fact they person committed the crime, saying that person did not commit the crime is a lie, therefore, egro sum ipso whatver the fuck, you should be sanctioned. And if you have possession of material that shows guilt, then that sounds like evidence. Are attorneys somehow allowed to withhold evidence? If so that sounds like attorneys are above the law. Are attorneys above the law? If defense attorneys are allowed to withold evidence, are prosecutors given the same luxury? I see a bunch of lawyers up in here saying that all the abuses to the system Trump and his attorneys are committing, all the lies they are telling, without sanction, without penalty, are the system working BECAUSE the common man would get the same privileges. That is a bunch of fucking HORSESHIT. Look at all the Jan 6 insurrectionists- did the system that is protecting trump protect them? Would it protect some black dude who got busted selling crack? Fuck no it wouldn't. Habba lies and says she is sick. We know its a lie, the judge knows its a lie. Nothing happens. Delay for three days. If the attorney for one of those insurrectionists says they fell sick, would that trial be delayed? And then delayed again for some other bullshit? and again? and again? Fuck no it wouldn't. You say that the judge is just making sure trump has no basis for appeal by not calling out Habba on her lies. If calling the defense counsel a liar and saying fuck no we are not delaying "because you feel sick" is grounds for an appeal, THEN THE SYSTEM IS FUCKED. You fuckers spend hours explaining how the system works. I know how the system works-- I see it working every fucking time I turn on the news. It works for Turmp. It has been working for trump since the day his mother shat him out into the world. BUT IT DOESN"T WORK FOR EVERYBODY. Its shit like this, fucked systems that only work for some, that got trump elected in the first place, because people voted for someone they thought would "blow it all up". And the system "working like it should" is going to allow to allow that orange fuckface to continue to escape consequences until the day he fucking dies. To directly answer your questions: As a defense attorney, should my obligation be to the truth? YES If I come into possession of material that tends to show guilt, should I have a duty to disclose that to the court and the prosecuting attorney? YES If I urge the jury to vote "not guilty" should I be jailed or somehow sanctioned for perjury? YES, if you know your client is guilty. Counsel him to plead guilty. Argue for extenuating circumstances, plead for mercy from the court, look for police or prosecutorial misconduct. But lie? NO. but I'd like to know how the non-lawyers think the criminal justice system should work. THE SAME FOR EVERYBODY WITH NO LIES.
  7. less acid at a MAGA rally but more meth
  8. narrator: You are already the asshole. So, nothing lost if you have to implement your scheme.
  9. fuck all that, just get a canary. Also, did y'all know that if you stood in a deep enough hole, you would be able to see stars during the day? I think that should be the goal.
  10. Dumbass. If he gets hurt in the first series he loses those bets. Bet against yourself, take the dive, profit.
  11. no because not doing anything will actually protect your rights when you are accused of rape, insurrection, defamation, and stealing top secret documents.
  12. Caveat: Everything below was true nearly 20 years ago when my wife and I went to Scotland on our honey moon. There is a train that goes from Glasgow north to either Ft. William or Oban (splits somewhere along the way). Goes through some incredible scenery in the highlands. I reccomend the Ft. William branch, which actually goes past Ft. WIlliam farther north. The route is considered the most scenic train ride in the world by some. Takes something like 5 or 6 hours iirc. You might be able to do it both ways during a long summer day, if you were really motivated, but I'd stay a night or two in Ft. William. Not much going on, but very scenic and bucolic. You can summit Ben Nevis, highest point in Scotland, in half a day if you are in decent shape. Weather, even in summer, might foil those plans however. So I don't know how you would work that train ride in with a driving tour, but it really was amazing. We rode it from Ft. William back to Edinburgh (changed trains in Glasgow.) I think the rail line was called the Western Highland Rail Line or something similar. If you do drive to or through Glen Coe stay at the King's House. I remember sitting outside, drinking Ale with random people as the sun set, which was at about 11 pm during the summer. Its the in the middle of hiking and mountain climbing country, so there were a lot of grungy young people camping in their campground (we were young and grungy hikers and mountain climbers, but we stayed in an actual room, since it was our honey moon.) I love Scotland and its people. I would live in Ft. William, at least during the summer months, if I could.
  13. So, surely Judge Kaplan will sanction her for lying to him, correct? On the other hand, hopefully she did have covid and spread it to everyone there.
  14. Good Gawd. That is Jade level horrible. We need a gag rep up in here.
  15. Seeing thieves get a beat down is very satisfying.
  16. Looks like Pimphand has a degree in solar studies from..... YouTube university.
  17. I had a friend in school from Pittsburgh. Played football in HS in Pittsburg, big UT fan. In 2006, the Longhorns won the National Championship, the Steelers won the superbowl, and in that same season, the high school team he had played for won the state championship.
  18. Yes, I know how old this post I'm replying to is. Back in Austin when I was in school, before Uber, before cell phones, shit before the internet, the number to get a cab was 452-9999, which was easy to remember, even shit faced and tripping at 4 am, because of that goddamn Mr. Gattis jingle.
