@granthollomew @Kali_de_Armas They think about the gallows, public floggings, stocks, labor camps, etc and say, “well, we’ll need those for the counterrevolutionaries and enemies of the state!”

[Count DeFunkula @CountDeFunkula]

@mattyglesias Isn’t that what the Real ID Act effectively does?

[Count DeFunkula @CountDeFunkula]

Re: bond reform, wouldn’t it be better to concentrate speeding up the process of getting to plea/trial? Seems like it takes forever to go from arrest to court, even for minor offenses. That would probably fix most of the complaints against the current bond system

@asymmetricinfo They also wanted to be away from the pollution noise and crime of the big cities. Young whippersnappers who don’t remember the factories and tetraethyl lead of postwar USA don’t get this.

[Count DeFunkula @CountDeFunkula]

@asymmetricinfo Ukraine is getting an immense amount of technical, manufacturing, sourcing and financial help from the west. Russia gets sanctions instead. Having SpaceX cut the Russkies off from starlink helped significantly as well

@Regan_Smart @JonathanTurley The fundamental law of the land is the constitution, not precedent. If the two conflict, precedent should be discarded.

@The_Davos_Man You have discovered the secret lair of Cornholio!

[Count DeFunkula @CountDeFunkula]

@The_Davos_Man I see you have discovered the hoagie. Next time try a muffuletta. Or rather a quarter muff. If they know what they’re doing, you should come out of the experience a happy man.

[Count DeFunkula @CountDeFunkula]

@ltthompso The question being, are there any more ugly revelations waiting to come?

[Count DeFunkula @CountDeFunkula]

@mtaibbi You’ll have to enroll in a twelve tribe program now.

@mattyglesias @cafreiman @ghostobs3126991 Texas says: “what you mean, ‘we’, Kimo Sabe?

[Count DeFunkula @CountDeFunkula]

@PeterMoskos Are you sure it’s not the Türkiye of battery park? Them birds can get pretty persnickety about what you call ‘em

[Count DeFunkula @CountDeFunkula]

@RichardHanania @sleepy_devo @CCantonii Worth noting that noted racist Woodrow Wilson came from academia. Leader worship has long been common in the Democratic Party, as evidenced by the cults of personality built around FDR, Bill Clinton, Barack Obama, and especially JFK.

[Count DeFunkula @CountDeFunkula]

@mattyglesias Does that mean that it only cuts trees with lighter colored bark?

[Count DeFunkula @CountDeFunkula]

@mattyglesias Where is the country of Undefinabalaria?

[Count DeFunkula @CountDeFunkula]

@The_Davos_Man I’ll take “a” and whatever the Snoop on the floor is having

[Count DeFunkula @CountDeFunkula]

@mattyglesias Yeah, but how long do you expect this continue given recent developments.

[Count DeFunkula @CountDeFunkula]

@The_Davos_Man The problem is, what would replace it? I don’t see much in the way of an organized opposition within or outside of Venezuela that could fill the resulting power vacuum

[Count DeFunkula @CountDeFunkula]

@The_Davos_Man Not to mention that the Russians have violated damn near every treaty they made with Ukraine. As if they’ll adhere to the next one

[Count DeFunkula @CountDeFunkula]

@The_Davos_Man Exactly how many prominent Hollywood actors have had their photos taken with Bukele? And have praised him?
