Wow what a piece of shit Andrew Bailey is!

Absolute_Axoltl , in Elon Musk’s X Is Reportedly Resisting a Subpoena in Jeffrey Epstein-Related Legal Case

Did anyone commenting actually read the article? It isn’t about Elon.

The article says they don’t know why there is this resistance. It’s just speculation. So it could be Elon.

notaviking , in Elon Musk’s X Is Reportedly Resisting a Subpoena in Jeffrey Epstein-Related Legal Case

Even if he, hypothetically, was the sickest fuck to ever step foot on Epstein’s island, he is an American oligarch that will most likely never see any repercussions, since he has the money, like real money to actually make a difference, and influence politically and celebrity wise. So even the best funded Justice department has an annual budget that this guy can donate at a whim to ensure his freedom. His Starlink is being used by Ukraine during this war, so he even has leverage on an American ally. No he is safe as Rain

I agree, but would replace specific category of celebrities with mass media in general.

Starlink is being used by Ukraine during this war

There’s no substitute for the low ping times of modern hardware in LEO. Elon is evil. But he’s not stupid. As a user myself I think Starlink is a fantastic product, though in a physical package designed by a teenager.

If he’d not fucked around with Twitter he’d have been strongly positioned on either end of the communications industry, positioned to be even more powerful than he is. But, he’s gone for a shorter term play at an-cap fascism.

No he is safe as Rain

A perception of justice is prerequisite to a human life of dignity. When society’s systems of accountability are broken humans find another way. Sometimes a young man nearly assassinates an ex-President. Sometimes no one cares until researching for the history books.

Have faith. One way or another we’ll get the bastard. Or, maybe we’ll get lucky: He’ll take some more psychedelics and turn into a humanitarian.

SirDerpy , in Missouri woman who served 43 years in prison is free after her murder conviction was overturned

Under current law, only someone shown to be innocent by means of a DNA test is eligible for compensation after being released. The law allows $36,500 a year for the same number of years the person was wrongly incarcerated.

The vetoed bill would have increased the payment to $65,000 a year and expanded it to include people freed by the conviction review process created in a 2021 law.

The conviction review process:

In order for elected prosecutors to have a pathway to correct wrongful convictions, it was up to the state legislature to pass a law

If this innocent person was eligible for payments in Missouri, which she is not, and if the bill was passed to increase payments, then she may have received a maximum of $2.8m. However, it’d be paid as an annuity of $65k per year. If she dies her family would get nothing more. And, the payments are in lieu of a civil suit.

She’ll have to sue if she wants justice. I hope she does. I’ve been to prison. I think she deserves to be comfortable for the rest of her life.

The problem many of Biden’s detractors had with him was that Harris would be next in line for the presidency.

whyNotSquirrel , in Seattle police officer fired over "vile" comments after death of woman fatally struck by police SUV
@whyNotSquirrel@sh.itjust.works avatar

Here’s the comment, on the phone I think, and I think he realize he forgot to switch off his body cam at the end of the video

Auderer is heard laughing after stating Kandula was dead, incorrectly saying she was “just 26,” and reasoning her young life had “limited value” and that the city should just write a check for $11,000.

@FlyingSquid@lemmy.world avatar

I assume Ron DeSantis will be holding a press conference talking about how successful he was at eradicating this dangerous cactus that has poked dozens of Americans on Key Largo and a tourist or two.

FlyingSquid , in Christina Sandera, Clint Eastwood's longtime partner, dies at 61
@FlyingSquid@lemmy.world avatar

I’m sorry she died so young, but I guess he’ll have more time to devote to talking to empty chairs now.

FlyingSquid , in Will Ohio strike down its draconian gender-affirming care ban?
@FlyingSquid@lemmy.world avatar

I hope so. How many trans children will die because of these bans?

FlyingSquid , in CFPB cracks down on popular paycheck advance programs. Here's what that means for workers
@FlyingSquid@lemmy.world avatar

The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau is cracking down on so-called paycheck advance programs, which have grown popular with workers in recent years.

This is the right road to go down for the CFPB, but my god, they’re popular with workers because workers are so desperate for money to survive on a day-to-day basis that they are taking voluntary pay cuts just so they can buy groceries for the week because they have too many immediate expenses to wait for the next paycheck since the previous one went to bills.

And the Federal minimum wage is still so far below the poverty level that you might as well be dead a lot of the time because you’re going to either starve or be eating out of dumpsters.

Bailey, who was appointed attorney general after Eric Schmitt was elected to the U.S. Senate in 2022, has a history of opposing overturning convictions, even when local prosecutors cite evidence of actual innocence.

This guy literally wants innocent people to be in prison.

And I bet he’ll win the election.

FlyingSquid , in Trans woman falsely identified as Trump shooter in far-right smear
@FlyingSquid@lemmy.world avatar

Of-fucking-course.

Nothing ever happens in this country that they don’t like unless a queer person is involved.

Someone took a potshot at the rapist buddy of Jeffrey Epstein’s! It must be one of those horrible trans women!
