But I can’t get an Orange Julius online.

Uber Eats, Door Dash, Grubhub, etc. all exist for this exact type of purchase.

Although you will pay for the convenience, as opposed to it being cheaper like most other products since the physical store is still involved.

Actually, the inventor of the Keurig coffee pod system, John Sylvan, sold his ownership of the product for $50,000 in 1997. 7 years after founding the company and before single-serve coffee really took off.

Even the creator of the K-cup said he regretted creating it because of the environmental impact.

A couple of primarily YouTube-based music artists I follow made OF pages before the adult influx and still use them. It works great since that’s what it was designed for.

It’s the DOJ that would determine whether to prosecute. Almost surely there is a policy of not arresting sitting members of Congress, there are valid reasons for this. But if Congress expels him like they should… free game for the DOJ there.

Take the money then use it for something they are against. And make sure it’s known that’s where the contribution came from.

He’s been using it to further his political career and court donations.

Prosecute him under 18 U.S.C. § 704

The Stolen Valor Act of 2013 amends the federal criminal code to rewrite provisions relating to fraudulent claims about military service to subject to a fine, imprisonment for not more than one year, or both for an individual who, with intent to obtain money, property, or other tangible benefit, fraudulently holds himself or herself out to be a recipient of:

• Medal of Honor
• Distinguished Service Cross
• Navy Cross
• Air Force Cross
• Silver Star
• Bronze Star
• Purple Heart
• Combat Action Ribbon
• Combat Infantryman’s Badge
• Combat Action Badge
• Combat Medical Badge
• Combat Action Medal
• Or any replacement or duplicate medal for such medal as authorized by law.

Right. Contempt of Congress charges are submitted to the DOJ to prosecute. And the DOJ has the policy to not prosecute those situations, as I posted previously.

Executive privilege doesn’t just disappear, it would still apply to everything under previous presidents as well, but it’s the current President that determines whether to remove it. Biden a while ago said it wouldn’t apply to things Trump’s administration is being investigated for.

Contempt of Congress is determined by Congress, and that did happen. But the DoJ has a longstanding policy not to prosecute in situations like Garland’s. And even if it did, the DoJ determined the source of the contempt charge wasn’t valid, so neither was the charge itself.

Contempt of Congress is a crime. That being said, this was already addressed:

In a letter to House Speaker Mike Johnson, a Justice Department official cited the department’s longstanding policy not to prosecute for contempt of Congress officials who don’t comply with subpoenas because of a president’s claim of executive privilege.

Garland is part of the current administration and the President has not waived executive privilege.

Increasingly likely? Clicking on the profile of the poster, they self-described as a professional shit poster.

It was clearly fake from the beginning. Of course it needs to be verified, we need to be thorough, but no trust should have ever been put into it in the first place.

It’s been made painfully clear this last decade or so that a lot of people are plain fucking stupid or incapable of making their own informed decisions, relying on paid media to tell them what to think following a specific narrative.

We’ve seen a lot of cases where people were villified by the media and then evidence turns up proving their innocence, or that the evidence we originally were presented was faked, out of context, or otherwise the opposite of what was claimed.

Just look at the recent back and forth both on social media and in “news” articles with that guy in Michigan and the suspended drivers license. It’s went from a guy in Zoom court while driving on a suspended license, which seems to be pretty clear, and had people viewing the situation a certain way. Oh but then it was just a State clerical error from something that was supposed to be cleared 2 years ago, to maybe he never actually had a driver’s license. So then what was actually suspended in the first place? And all that within just a couple days for a viral video.

We cannot simply trust the information we’re given blindly online, we as individuals need to keep in mind that even though things may look one way, that there is a possibility we are getting incorrect info, even from a trusted source.

There are a good number of people that actually take the whole “innocent until proven guilty in a court of law” thing all the way to its extreme. Even with glaringly obvious public evidence before that.

It is the foundation of our justice system, as much as some groups are trying to tear it apart, even from within in some cases.

Of course. They assume that because they are dick and, that everyone else must be too.

Almost like they have attracted everyone they will with their ideas. And the only place they have to go now is down, or more bots.

Any bets on how long it takes the Satanic Temple to have the Seven Tenets be included as well?

I. One should strive to act with compassion and empathy toward all creatures in accordance with reason.
II. The struggle for justice is an ongoing and necessary pursuit that should prevail over laws and institutions.
III. One’s body is inviolable, subject to one’s own will alone.
IV. The freedoms of others should be respected, including the freedom to offend. To willfully and unjustly encroach upon the freedoms of another is to forgo one’s own.
V. Beliefs should conform to one’s best scientific understanding of the world. One should take care never to distort scientific facts to fit one’s beliefs.
VI. People are fallible. If one makes a mistake, one should do one’s best to rectify it and resolve any harm that might have been caused.
VII. Every tenet is a guiding principle designed to inspire nobility in action and thought. The spirit of compassion, wisdom, and justice should always prevail over the written or spoken word.

Puritanical roots

With a smaller budget they can’t afford to go after people that can afford actual accountants and lawyers to delay constantly.

They instead can really only go after low earners who can’t afford a lawyer at all and have to deal with the IRS directly by themselves, and will just take whatever deal is offered.

It’s literally the reason why the IRS recently had their budget increased and so they’ve been going after the rich that everyone knows aren’t even paying the lower percentage they are supposed to.

Ah yes… Working together despite differences.

Really must mystify the lawmakers who get paid to keep the status quo exactly as it is, and don’t want the government to actually function.
