  • Actually judges can and should call foul on plea deals that are poorly worded so as to allow future violations of tax law.

  • No. They quite literally cannot get that. They will find a way to contort themselves into believing that Biden is a responsible dignified statesman who is forced into every stupid, evil or corrupt thing he does, up to and including genocide.

  • THAT'S what you object to in their comment? You're part of the problem.

  • Judges do that all the time. Hunter Biden was the 50+ year old son of one of the most powerful people in the country. Not some 22 year old street kid from a poor district.

  • This thread reads like a satire of how Democrats are happy to sink lower and lower while using the GOP as an excuse.

  • Yeah, I don't see any public interest involved at all when it comes to the issue of presidents using their power to get their relatives off jail time. I don't think it undermines the sense of justice and equality that all citizens are supposed to have if the "first among equal citizens" can get their crackhead middle ages son off of already lenient legal consequences for actions that others are serving hard time for. Not at all a conspicuous legal hole that undermines the concept of the rule of law, and definitely not open to abuse.

  • I forgot that part of machismo, where you put aside being macho in order to vote for mobsters. Classic Latino cultural phenomenon.

  • I seriously can't tell if you're kidding.

  • I agree, in Latino culture they perfer voting for conservative strongment like Claudia Sheinbaum Pardo.

  • Yeah. That's why Mexico's president is a left-wing feminist woman. Because "machismo", you've got it all figured out. The 60% of US Latinos who have Mexican origin came to the US to run away from her.

  • Elon Musk is a right-wing darling with appeal for both white nationalist types and libertarian deregulators. But no one can take over MAGA. Trump is top dog, to the degree that I have no clue what they'll do once he's gone from office.

  • It biases the first repliers

  • You can though I like it.

  • The Atlantic is like the newspaper version of everything wrong with Democratic Party.

  • To be fair having replies in order of time sucks.

  • Liberalism across the West is a rotting carcass unfortunately. In 2000 the EU sanctioned Austria because an anti-refugee party got 52 seats in the National Congress. Today, that party has 57 seats and its view on refugees are basically what Kier Starmer and Van der Leyen believe.

    In 2016 we mocked Trump's wall. In 2024 Kamala Harris says she will actually build it and chides him for not doing so.

  • There is no published science definitively proving that it is harmful or helpful. The effects of this particular legislation, if it is impactful at all, remains to be seen. I'm just offering my opinion based on my personal experiences. I expect it to have some success in reducing acute adolescent mental health issues. If the matter is ever settled through consensus, I'll defer to that.

  • Why not just look up how it actually works in the real world instead of hypotheticals
