One that’s intuitive and doesn’t require a cheat sheet or what I like to call fingular contortionism discovery.

Like everything else in the real world, there are far more shades of gray than the singular black and white way of handling things than how you’re representing it. Stop for a moment and think about your own actions growing up, going to school, getting a job, being in a relationship, etc. In every scenario, I guarantee you’ve made mistakes or poor decisions of varying degrees. I also guarantee you that some of those were abuses of power, even if most of them were very small ones. Being caught making those mistakes doesn’t always have to end in a 100% revocation of whatever power or potential power you have. Good responses tend to take into account all the nuance, including stakes and severity, and punishment is often used only as a tool of reinforcement that then lets the person have the opportunity to later show that they can and have grown and won’t make the mistake again. That is what’s happening here. If they do something like this again, even and especially with the changes being made, then yeah, it’s time for further action. Until then, the actions themselves that were harmful have been reversed and they’ve taken the time and effort to make the changes they described. Let them learn and grow.

TL;DR: You don’t get put to death for every crime, even many bigger ones; you get a measured response and an opportunity to grow.

Probably felt broken after the opening montage with the old man and couldn’t take anymore emotional torment. I can’t blame them.

Language and communication can be difficult; let me clarify for you. My statement was hyperbolic. I’m not talking about literally going to their little book club or questioning them at every single moment in every single conversation, I’m only saying that we should take every sensical opportunity to call them on their bullshit,

The de-normalization of basing one’s actions and behavior on the collective teachings, regardless of source, called a “religion”, without following logic and the scientific method is what needs to occur. We can only make that happen if more engagement occurs.

I disagree. Think global, act local. The best thing would be for every possible person to question these people’s sanity at every opportunity and to stop normalizing belief in invisible sky daddies.

Y’all got anymore of that celery?

That’s rad, bro.

The jitters.

Did they stutter?

160 ish what, gold? Not even close.

What are you? Some kind of tape leg?

Well, due to how the voting system in the US works, it’s literally not a popularity contest, else there would’ve been a few different outcomes in modern history.

Incorrect. He has to have a reason for the appeal trial to be approved. His lawyers can file an appeal on any grounds they see fit. That then has to be processed, which takes time. But I’ll fall back to the answer that I already gave as well, if he’s given a sentence that includes any sort of time to serve, his lawyers will use that as a basis for appeal, which is clearly stated as a possible reason for an appeal to be approved.

You’re operating on a fallacy. You can only be tried and convicted once per crime. Every single one is an opportunity for an appeal. Having more just increases the likelihood that there will be at least some possible appeal. The easiest route will probably be an appeal against whatever the sentence itself is once that’s issued, especially if he’s sentenced to serve time. But it doesn’t matter; his lawyers will simply look for every single possible way to delay the process, as they have continuously done.

One would hope.

Exactly. I’m not defending Trump in any way shape or form. But spreading misinformation, disregarding nuance, and ignoring factual details is dangerous and exactly what Republican politicians want. We need to be better than that as a nation.

No, he had a sexual abuse charge, not rape. None of the above was a criminal charge, only civil.

While that may mean there is a technical component to it, that’s not what people mean when they’re thinking about it. Being put into a prison is what people are referring to and that isn’t likely to happen.

It’s not like Trump is going to prison for this. He’s old, has no record, and did serve as president, regardless of how people feel about it. Plus, he’s going to appeal, which means this thing will drag on long enough to still not matter, sadly.

Nice
