A law in Kentucky setting 50-50 shared custody as the state’s standard was hailed as a victory for fathers, but critics say it puts mothers and children at risk. Do you consider this to be a victory or a risk? - www.wsj.com/.../the-equal-custody-experiment-41e1f7a6

Obviously, Supreme Court justices are experts when it comes to interpreting the Constitution. They have undergone extensive legal training. But it seems that lots of people only selectively respect their decisions. I feel like lots of non-experts believe Supreme Court decisions should only be respected when they conform to ideological biases. For example, conservative Republicans slam the Supreme Court when they rule against Trump, but seem to love the Supreme Court when the justices side with him. Liberal Democrats of course do the opposite. What do you think?

They are so annoying and anyone who knowingly engaged in these types of scams is a complete waste of oxygen contributing nothing of value to humanity.

I personally think its good

Honestly, I'm considering just letting it roll 😂

Or should I sue him for defamation and garnish his wages?

For me I think the younger you are the smarter you are because it's easier to learn things when you're young

Signs have popped up in front of major infrastructure projects financed by the Biden legislation, a $1.2 trillion package that Mr. Trump whom had passionately railed against. He called the bill “a loser for the U. S. A.,” and warned that Republican lawmakers who signed on could be thrown out of office by angry primary voters.

The signs note, in a smaller font, that the projects in question are “funded by the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act,” the official name of the legislation that Mr. Trump tried to derail.

In June 2024, Senator Ted Cruz complained about the Biden emblazened signs to the Office of Special Counsel, arguing that they amounted to campaign signs for Mr. Biden, and thus violated the Hatch Act, which limits federal employees’ political activities.

“These displays are nothing more than campaign yard signs courtesy of the American taxpayer,” Mr. Cruz wrote at the time. The special counsel’s office investigated the matter, disagreed with Mr. Cruz and closed the case.

This week, Mr. Cruz’s office did not respond to an email asking whether the Trump signs might also violate the Hatch Act.

The US Army just swore in four tech executives as Lieutenant Colonels: Shayam Sankar, the CTO of Palantir (Peter Thiel’s company), Andrew Bosworth, the CTO of Meta (Mark Zuckerberg’s company) and OpenAI’s chief product officer Kevin Weil and former chief research officer Bob McGrew, (the company belonging to Sam Altman.)

These four men are all now one rank away from a General. Second-in-command for field-grade officers. There are 16 ranks lower than a Lieutenant Colonel and these four untrained civilians just leapfrogged over soldiers who have dedicated their entire career and lives to the US military.

Apparently, these men are going to work on “targeted projects to help guide rapid and scalable tech solutions to complex problems.” A sentence that means absolutely nothing because clearly this is just a way of giving these companies access to top-secret information without them having to go through any pesky background checks. If that doesn’t scare you, it really should, because we already know that Palantir is building a massive centralized database using much of the information they acquired from DOGE, Elon Musk’s foray into the American government.

These billionaire tech-bros are compiling lists of our most sensitive information. Our tax records, medical data, bank accounts, Social Security information, immigration status, etc. This administration is allowing them to build the infrastructure for techno-feudalism. Authoritarianism in the form of data and surveillance.

The people who are using the government against you are now taking over military authority. The corruption is calculated and staggering. And I can only hope that our veterans and active-duty military are paying incredibly close attention. And now that you know you should be talking about it.

In my country, many states (like many federations) in my country seem to have "had lots of opinions" about law and order in the last decade or two. Queensland, Victoria, even NSW in the 2000s.

I for one have gone on a journey politically and spiritually and in life experience and I for one even during Covid lockdowns and to the present, and even in years prior to Covid - I love my police, state and federal - and likewise I love the trade unions and the Labor party (or any other left wing party, Palmer counts also underneath his public persona surface, ssshh he's secretly a Leftie like me)

Law Abiding Citizen - the 2009 movie - I appreciate how it was originally written with roles reversed, the black guy the criminal, the white guy the lawyer/solicitor. Let's all appreciate that I for one share the personality of the Judge - and Nick to a degree the fictional Nick unlike this Nic here lol - I do believe in a kind, love-dovey legal system - with exceptions because some crimes really don't deserve bail and do deserve sentences, case by case basis as always and the character of a person. After all, I love the legal system and police. Remember, in the Left wing view, my interpretation, which is - it's always about the cut of a person's jib (their character, all the factors). I'm a personality guy.

Anyways - the anal sex joke never gets old. This upload is not mine and no copyright infringe and ©️ anyways again, wasn't my upload. 👀 📱anyways, I don't even own the DVD, yet I liked when the Judge and the Gerard guy were seeing eye to eye "I mean, what's wrong with bail" 👀😋
