There are about 1 million forms of government waste we should address before disability payments for working veterans is even discussed.

1. I didn't say you lied. Perhaps you don't understand what invoke means or possibly how using Trudeau as an example of those who think Trump is laughable was/is a very poor choice on your part. I try to be very civil to you because most people run you through the mud pretty hard - sometimes to the point of overkill. But you make it difficult to not be made fun of. If I may, perhaps you should think a little more before you post. Just some friendly advice. 2. Btw, what other world leaders laughed at him? Whatever the case, no one is laughing now...

I remember The Texas Tower Sniper, Charles Whitman killing 17 people in 1966. The two officers, who finally gained access to the floor where Whitman was and gunned him down, there were those who claimed the officers used excessive deadly force. In actuality, they were hailed as heroes. I was 13 years old at the time and I was so glad Whitman was dead. We had watched the carnage on tv. I guess Neely should have been left alone so he could kill several people and everyone would be happy. Well, you would have those who would say why didn’t anyone do anything. You can’t please all of the people all of the time.

If you trust me to say, in Ex Parte Garland the Supreme Court ruled that the authority to pardon by the president for a federal crime is almost unlimited. They specifically stated that this authority includes before an investigation, while a criminal charge is pending (such as an indictment) or after conviction. The limiting factor is that the president cannot pardon a crime that has not already occurred. For example that the president said that you are pardoned for any crime committed between January 1, 2000 and today, 12-9-24, then you are not criminally responsible for any crimes, including those, not yet even discovered. If you commit a crime tomorrow on 12-10-24, the pardon has no effect. So Biden cannot say, I pardon Hunter until the year 2035. Any crime that he “may have committed” after January 1, 2014 and the day he was pardoned, he cannot be charged. On an interesting note, I believe that Hunter Biden was named to the board of Burisma and the oil kickback scandal, with 10% for the big guy, not long after January 1, 2014. I don’t think the date that the pardon started was chosen at random.

I don’t know. Can it be condensed for us laymen? Lol

They've lost a lot of people, and they're not "good" with is which is why a coach responded to a post a parent(me) made which had nothing to do with them.

Who’s laughing now? He who laughs last, laughs best……lol [Hidden Content]

DUDE......... Before I was in banking, I managed big box retail and I was good at it....lol My secret was running a tight ship with extremely high standards. Generally, people WANT to do a good job. People also want structure. If they did well, I publicly praised and celebrated them. If they did bad, we had weekly visits until they improved or left - always their choice. Todays employment standards are WEAK. As an example I went to Wal-Mart yesterday evening. I used the self check outs. There are 8 checkouts, 2 dedicated for Spark (who I have never seen use them) and 2 were down. So we are at 50%.......As I'm waiting on my left a family checking out, trying to scan a head of lettuce and it keeps sounding some sort of alarm. On my right 2 employees standing next to each other, both on their phones looking down. They would not walk the 4' to help them until the customers asked them for help. Sad what customer service has become these days and the restrictions managers have on them now.

Depends on the job. My Son works for Owner.com and makes VERY good money working from home. They sign in on computer, make calls on computer, everything recorded. He has a quota and daily check ins. I do agree most jobs needs to be at the business I would HATE to work from home.

You need to read up on the case. He absolutely, without question did not choke the victim until he was dead.......When ambulance arrived he had a pulse. If he walks in a liberal city like New York, the state had no case

The difference between the two cases is political, jury mindset and also the difference between self defense and using force to take a person into custody. Obviously the officer who was holding down George Floyd was not doing so in self-defense so there is a different part of the law. I know that you are trying for an analogy. Saying that stomping out the brains of an unconscious man and holding onto a person are the same is beyond a stretch. If a person is unconscious and out of the fight, it is clearly not the same of a person who may still be struggling and who, if let up, may again by a threat. I love what if scenarios but in this case let’s stick to what we know for the moment. A guy came in and threatened people, apparently with at least implied death threats. Those people were trapped on a train. Penny tackled the guy and held onto him Remember in self defense the defendant has to prove NOTHING. Again, self defense does not have to be proven. The prosecution has to prove beyond a reasonable doubt that there was no way this was self defense. This isn’t even a tie goes to the runner in baseball but proving that the ball got to first base when the batter was still 5 feet away making it no doubt. If a juror believes that there is an 85% chance that this was not a case of lawful self defense but rather a homicide, the juror should be voting not guilty. That is a huge burden to overcome for the prosecution to prove that the death was not accidental in a case of self defense. I agree with many people that this probably should never have even been brought to trial. In many jurisdictions it would not have been. I was the supervisor on scene of a fatal shooting. Two guys got into an argument and one pulled a gun. Self defense? I have no clue, but he didn’t shoot. He just pulled to get the other guy to leave. The other guy left. The other guy went and got his gun however and came back to the scene, maybe like a shootout in an old western. Remember that he had successfully left the scene and the threat. He was no longer in danger. He voluntarily came back to confront the guy. Is it stand your ground when you go get a gun and come back looking for a fight? So the guy that left and came back with a gun, shot and killed the guy who had possibly pulled the first gun in his own self-defense. The DA did not prosecute the case. Self defense…. That is far different than the case we are discussing. In this case, Daniel Penny was thrown into a situation that he did not create and he was charged with a homicide. In the case I worked, obviously in a very different jurisdiction, a guy left the scene and voluntarily came back to the fight with a gun and was not charged. Can you at least see the rationale that the jury may have had? Was there beyond a reasonable doubt that this was nothing more than a killing?

Many need removing.

all govt programs need revamping.

Amen!! Experienced enough to know the ropes, young enough to get the kids excited to compete, progressive enough to get the athletes to play and with a willingness to not only "right the ship" but to keep captaining the boat for the foreseeable future.

Yes! Avoid the 2 year cycle, and also be vigilent of hiring a good old boy, re-tread coach just wanting to comfortably ride along and collect more paychecks before retiring.

It's only been 3 days. Let us mourn and whine for a LITTLE! 🤣

A CB endorsement is like the kiss of death…..

WRONG!! Democrats riot when they protest. If Republicans protest, it’s an insurrection. 🤣

George Zimmerman Kyle Rittenhouse Daniel Perry Daniel Penny All political prosecutions…..

Not guilty!!

U bet bud! They should’ve took the L that was handed to them and congratulated PNG on a great season….

3 seasons and 3 very good years for PNG 2 state finals, with 1 being a state championship, and 4 rounds deep. I would say highly impressive meat to go Indians!
