Not a terrible decision

This is all on Congress.
Congress should have been on the forefront of regulation on this so that this can happen safely.
But Congress is purposefully broken.
Re: American Politics Thread: Democrats Take Control Of Congress by IjeBos(m):
This alone is impeachment worthy.
The President of the US knew that he was lying when he used all the levers and power of the US government to try to throw a random person in jail on made up vandalism charges, to cover the fact that the company he gave a no bit contract to a company who did a poor job.
And the people, like those in this thread(Basilco, Raumdeuter, Bemeruca), who supported him while he was doing this are equally culpable.

Dont you have any new steak picture to post or swimming pool with you wearing bikinis or anywhere your white guy took you to recently?

Go ahead post more like a pre teen in a 50yr old body
Almost 60, on a Sunday, making up lies about homosexuality to try to smear someone.
Realizing you are almost 60 just makes this whole behavior even more so depressing.

When you are at church pretending to 'impact' wink people or at home trying to 'impact' your children, I wonder, is this the person you want them to be?

You've picked a typical far right African conservative.
Them you applied it to every non liberal.
Conservatives don't do those al those things,times have changed. It's only Muslims who are stuck up with all those things you mentioned.
I guess you'd prefer a liberal to share house chores 50/50.
(I'll never do that typical me).

cococandy:
So why would a conservative want a liberal?

Conservative men believe women should stay second class citizens.

For example they want to bring back one household vote where the head of the family casts the vote for everyone. In conservative and in fact most households, men are still the heads of the household. So invariably by bringing back that law, women’s rights to vote will be inevitably taken.

Conservative men believe women’s primary responsibility should be childbearing. Anything outside of that is secondary if even allowed.

They believe they should have the final say and the woman is only there to support. Should she have a different opinion that doesn’t align with his, it has to be discarded in favor of his POV even if it makes her miserable.

Conservative men’s mentality is outdated. However when they see women who already view themselves the way conservatives want them to, why are they not attracted to that?

Why are you guys interested in blue haired mentally unwell liberal women who believe they have the same rights as you?

Are you making sense to yourselves like this?

They said we were haters who are jealous and against billionaires because we RIGHTFULLY said these things should be regulated. Sigh.

The AI bubble and rug pull has begun.

I hope they apologize to their investors if that’s any consolation.

I'm not sure about this.
Haven't reviewed the case, but I'm sure no one wants to find someone who killed 3 children not guilty.
The problem is the law is the law. And jurors are bound to obey the law. (though I am also comfortable with jury nullification in some cases)
If they believed she didn't have the mens rea due to insanity to commit the crime, then they should have voted not guilty.
But it doesn't mean she goes free, probably will be committed for a long long time.

From my quick reading she didn't seem to be mentally stable before the killings and so it seems 'Not guilty' was the appropriate judgement.
The lone juror seemed not to be focussed on doing his duties as a juror or wanted to nullify the jury.
Again, this is based on a quick reading of the facts.

Under Massachusetts law, when someone pleads not guilty by reason of a “lack of criminal responsibility" — the state’s technical term for the insanity defense — the burden is on the prosecution to prove the defendant was sane at the time of the crimes.

For those in the know, the ability for AI to usher in wide spread disaster and social upheaval was too great not to be regulated.
But I also get the debate as to who gets there first like the space race.
But it is something that should have been debated and thought through.

I'm sure Bemeruca and Raumdeuter were watching.

😂😂😂😂

So this Gey is saying if you kill someone you should go free.

What's the difference between her claim and the claim of a serial killer?

According to you, "the burden is on the prosecution to prove the defendant was sane at the time of the crimes", and this one juror seems to have been convinced beyond reasonable doubt that she was sane and should therefore be guilty.

Thankfully, or unfortunately, depending how one wishes to look at it, he was not the only juror.
Re: American Politics Thread: Democrats Take Control Of Congress by cococandy(f): 8:49pm On Sep 13
Modern day Republicans would’ve called Mary a victim for complaining about this.
Before she ever wore a nurse's uniform, Mary Eliza Mahoney spent 15 years as a cook, maid, and washerwoman inside a Boston hospital not because it was her dream, but because it was the only door left open to her. Every nursing school in America turned Black women away. So she waited. She worked. She watched.

At 33 years old, she was finally admitted into a grueling 16 month nursing program one of only 40 accepted, most decades younger than her. The days ran from 5:30 in the morning until 9:30 at night. Lectures, wards, surgery, childbirth, endless labor. Of the 40 who started, only three graduated. Mary Eliza Mahoney was one of them.

In 1879, she became the first African American in United States history to earn a professional nursing degree. She spent the rest of her life fighting for every nurse who came after her proving that dignity cannot be denied forever, only delayed.

Some doors don't open. They have to be broken down, one exhausting year at a time.

Yes, when you try to censor someone it just makes people more interested. What a failed strategy! 🤣

Hope all the GOP attempts to interfere with and restrict voting in Texas works out the same way.

They have been closing polling sites, gerrymandering districts, suspending more than a million registrations.

Hopefully it increases voter momentum and determination to vote no matter what it takes.

They must be scared for a reason.

Their unthinking lackeys talking about some stupid equal time rule when the balmy sweaty Paxton won’t even honor an invite to debate because he knows he’ll be used to mop the floor.
It’s really sad what’s happening in Texas.. are the republicans that afraid of the vote of the people? The fear and anxiety is real.

They’ve deployed a combination of everything to deter voters from making their choice..

It reminds of what Yahaya Bello ( the former Kogi state governor) did to rig the elections in that state on behalf of Tinubu. ..Road access and routes were excavated/destroyed to prevent voters from reaching their respective polling units.. 😂😂🤣🤣..

The fear of Telarico In Texas is real..

1.) It's not according to me, it's Mass law. Basically flips the presumption.

2.)Was the juror convinced? Or did he come into the trial prejudiced?
Let me ask you what is the downside to you of finding her not guilty?

Trump has normalized telling lies.

Trump impulsively tells lies.. I really don’t understand how people follow such a criminal. Trump lies for a living…

The GOP blindly follows such a dangerous liar..

Trump will tell multiple lies tomorrow and the next.. 🤦🏾

Imagine being a child and googling hid father's name (your name is still on this site) only to realize their father is the infamous troll Raumdueter who spends ~4 hours a day lying and writing "white bf" over and over and over again on an online forum.

You are in closer to 60 than 50. Let the trolling go.

In fact, is Bemeruca your son? Would align, ages work out and both are habitual liars and all.

You will need to go ask him if he was prejudiced.
For me, the law did what the law should do.

Given the facts of the case, it doesn't seem like it did.
She showed signs of mental illness even before the killing.

She spends years behind bars either way.
One is in a mental institution, the other a jail.
What is the difference?
I'd rather live in a society that understands mental illness.

An because the burden shifted once she used the insanity defense, the prosecution would have to prove that she was not insane beyond a reasonable doubt.
That's a really high bar.
Given the surroundings of her case, if you were on that jury would you have thought the Prosecution proved that?

They’d never win in any free and fair election.
That’s why they have to suppress votes every election. If they don’t cheat they’ll have nothing.

And they’ve never won any popular votes regardless of what the last election tampered by Elon says.

They know it and we all know it.
All their ranting about election fraud is projection. Like everything else they do.
