  Re:

  Most durable policy changes happen incrementally. If we can knock off QI—arguably the most egregious and cancerous of all police privileges—we can always introduce more legislation later to address other policies.

  Re: Re: has someone done something illegal?

  Just add this to Billy Barr's long list of shit that's gonna land him in jail.

  Don't assume reading skills

  IIRC, she has a mail-order high school diploma.

  Re: NY Post

  Honestly, the closest that the NY Post every gets to ethics is that they occasionally look it up in the dictionary. You know, for laughs.

• On the post: Florida Governor Signs Law That Punishes Protesters For Protesting, Denies Them Bail

  

  DeComposer ( profile ), 26 Apr, 2021 @ 01:38pm

  Short-lived law

  I don't expect this law will survive even a cursory court challenge. Not even in the 11th circuit.

• On the post: Death Row Inmate Freed After Bullshit Bite Mark Evidence Determined To Be Bullshit

  

  DeComposer ( profile ), 10 Mar, 2021 @ 02:51pm

  Let's extrapolate

  It's all too easy to imagine how many wrongfully convicted death-row inmates weren't able to get their convictions overturned before their sentences were carried out.

  Re: Hawley's committee assignments

  You can be sure that Hawley won't be sitting on any committees after the Senate chooses the new Majority Leader.

  Oh come on. That's No Reply At All.

  Re: Re: Follow the money...

  Unlike some paranoid shitheads who apparently have no names, when I don't have anything to say, I keep my mouth shut. Pretty sure there's an aphorism about that....

• On the post: ACLU Sues Federal Officers Over Excessive Force Deployed Against Portland Protesters

  Re: Re: Murderous left wingers

  That's the thing about right-wingers: they'll believe the most ludicrous shit with no evidence whatsoever, as long as it validates their fucked-up worldview. I am mystified that critical thinking is so completely anathema to them.

  Thank You, Facebook!

  Dear Facebook,

  Thank you for simplifying my VR hardware choice!

  Love,

• On the post: Why Are There Currently No Ads On Techdirt? Apparently Google Thinks We're Dangerous

  

  DeComposer ( profile ), 12 Aug, 2020 @ 12:45pm

  Sketchy?

  Just because Google is massive doesn't mean they're not sketchy, too.

• On the post: Congressional Reps Demand Federal Law Enforcement Agencies Stop Surveilling Protesters

  

  DeComposer ( profile ), 16 Jun, 2020 @ 10:47am

  I'm all for defunding the DEA

  Misspent money, redirected to highly questionable activity, all in service to a misguided program.

  Legislators need to take a long, hard look at funding priorities. If drugs are a "problem," interdiction and enforcement have shown themselves to be ineffective, catastrophic failures.

  Maybe this mission creep is the DEA's way of trying to achieve relevance.

• On the post: Dallas PD Asks Residents To Snitch On Protesters, Gets A Load Of K-Pop Videos Instead

  

  DeComposer ( profile ), 03 Jun, 2020 @ 03:36pm

  It's spreading to other right-wing outlets

  K-pop stans are flooding right-wing hashtags like #BlueLivesMatter and #MAGA

  As protests go, this seems to be surprisingly effective.

  Re: You were shouted down?

  Really? You're an AC. Why do you think anyone would remember you? How do you think anyone would remember you?

• On the post: Uh Oh: FBI Serves Search Warrant On Senator Richard Burr, Seizes His Phone

  

  DeComposer ( profile ), 14 May, 2020 @ 04:05pm

  Also worth noting...

  That the FBI served a search warrant on a sitting US senator means that A.G. Bill Barr was certainly involved in the process—in all likelihood, directly involved.

• On the post: President Trump Is So Upset About This Ad Showing His Failed Handling Of COVID-19 That He's Demanding It Be Taken Down

  

  DeComposer ( profile ), 26 Mar, 2020 @ 02:20pm

  This is the missing context?

  If this stream-of-consciousness word salad of misdirection, insults, bullshit, and lies is the "context" they want to wrap around "hoax," well,... I don't think they're really bolstering their case.
