@llewhinkes There are both accusatory grand juries and investigative grand juries. DAs present witness and get subpoenas from investigative grand juries. They present the evidence collected request indictments to accusatory grand juries.
@dsmproengineer@JackSutpen@Hutch919@daveweigel Please form your own party and have your own primaries, so that we are not stuck with your stink.
We win despite you not because of you. All you do is lose.
@FactPush@mj_lee The case was being investigated under Obama and pending appeal under Biden. Completely normal not to release files when the case is still pending.
@lessthanpleased@madmart33363545@daveweigel I have a principle that I should not have to show up at work until Noon and get to leave at 3 pm. And I only work on Wednesdays.
Also, I get paid 10 million a year with 30% annual raises.
If my employer does not follow my principles, I will firebomb the build. That's the logic.
@TomWestbrk@NateSBenoit@stephen_richer A lawyer has an ethical obligation to bring meritorious claims. Your Internet vibes are not the same as admissible evidence in a courtroom.
@TomWestbrk@stephen_richer You have made a series of claims. Now the burden of proof is on to to provide actual evidence in support of your claims. Bet you won't.
@dodgersjordan@shannonrwatts Yes. I will burn down the Amazon rain forest until the Palestinians and Israelis reach peace on terms that I dictate. That will show them.
@dsmproengineer@JackSutpen@Hutch919@daveweigel Do you ever wonder why people don't vote for you? Why is it you do not have the burden of persuading anyone of anything. What I say is right. Agree with me or I kill the hostage. Seems, well, dictatorial.
@madmart33363545@lessthanpleased@daveweigel This is just hostage taking. Do exactly what I want or I will kill the hostage. I have to persuade no one. I am not responsible for bad outcomes. I will do zero cost-benefit analysis. I am just right.
Do you behave like this at your job? With a spouse?
@lessthanpleased@madmart33363545@daveweigel If you are uninfluenced by pragmatism, why should anyone listen to you?
Also, why it is you get to sit atop Mount Purity and demand everyone else conform to your views?
Why don't you have the burden to persuade anyone else?
@dsmproengineer@JackSutpen@Hutch919@daveweigel I'm not trying to kill anyone or steal anyone's land here.
We can vote for the side whose view is that not enough children are dying fast enough or for the side that wants to mitigate the risk but not at perfect pace.
Tough call here.
@peterlafountain@AJentleson And all of those people were the equivalent of Joe Manchin. There is not a world where DSA types have the power to implement their agenda.
@JackSutpen@Hutch919@daveweigel You will have really showed everyone then. You geniuses gave us W and Trump and now want to add your skills to the Senate. What value to you bring exactly?
@lessthanpleased@daveweigel The thing about being old enough to vote, a/k/a being an adult, is that you do not get perfect choices.
You can:
1-Win a primary and then win a general
2-Form your own party and beat both Rs and Ds.
3-Act like like an adult and properly assess risk between Rs and Ds.
