  • Could you post a photo of your cat and tell me what makes them so special?

    Jump

  • This is my cat Cygnus. I named him after Cygnus x-1 which is thought to be a black hole. He's a very very smart cat. He does tricks eg. shake, opens doors etc.

  • Our dishwasher leaks and we dont have the money to fix or replace it. So its all manual washing dishes... when the last bowl, plate and utensil is gone.

  • Judge in Trump’s classified documents case cancels May trial date; no new date set

  • Has anyone in a position of authority ever faced consequences for this? Because in Cannon's case, you'd have to prove that she didn't have a legitimate reason to do what she did and that it rose to the level of an ethics violation deserving of punishment. Which we can infer given the obvious conflict of interest but if that was enough to punish her it would have probably happened by now. And the standard for evidence required to punish a judge like that is reasonably high.

  • Civil trial consequences are always only monetary - you can't go to prison for a civil case. That's part of why civil cases get away with having a much lower standard of evidence

    Which is exactly why I mentioned it. He has never faced consequences from criminal charges, only civil court.

    You'll notice he started hawking Bibles almost immediately afterward, likely because he needs more liquid funding in the short term.

    He would have done that regardless of whether he "needed" funds or not. Like most obscenely rich people, there is no such thing as "enough" wealth.

    I believe he's been fined for it several times now, but the fine is set by law and is an amount that's a pittance to Trump.

    Which doesn't really contradict my point that he effectively hasn't faced any real consequences.

    you've still got to figure out how to work his Secret Service detail into the picture.

    He's a criminal. He shouldn't be afforded the same security detail as his predecessors that weren't. We don't "have to" do anything. It was just decided as a society that this man, and others like him, should be given privileges that others don't have.

    And also the protests from his cult if/when that happens.

    This should never ever ever factor into what his punishment is. A functioning society needs a justice system that doesn't cave to mobs.

    Everything about this is abhorrant.

  • Id love to be wrong here but Trump has been impeached twice (which did jack shit because the republicans in the senate would have had to help convict him) and the only real consequences for what hes done were in civil trials and even that was monetary. They didnt even make him pay the bail bond he was initially "required" to pay. He's been threatened with consequences for contempt of court over a dozen times now.

    Unfortunately the best predictor of the future is the past and the past hasnt laid a hand on him.

  • Just because something is supposed to happen does not mean that it will. By all rights Trump should have been kicked out of office and be sitting in jail right now but he isnt. Just like Nixon and a whole cadre of others that slithered away without facing any real consequences.

  • Riot: No confirmation LoL Vanguard is bricking PCs, only 0.03% of players have reported issues

    Jump

  • 0.03% is 3 in 10,000. Thats 300 per million not 30,000. So still not great but 2 orders of magnitude less terrible.
