Narcking is cool again.

Is there a problem with turning in people who have violated the law?

What the fuck is 'Narcking'?

A term used to try and slander those who would turn in people that have violated the law. "Snitches get stitches" etc.

Alright then why do you consider it important enough to report otherwise law-abling people?

Because they have broken the law? That should be reason enough.

So do Jaywalkers. But i don't feel Jaywalking is important enough on it's own to report it myself. Napkiraly thinks different on immigration laws.

By that logic you should report on homosexuals in Saudi Arabia or runaway slaves in pre-Civil War America. Just because something is legal or the law, does not make it moral or just.

My dad ran a red once while I was in the car. Didn't report him for it.
I suppose it depends on how important you consider said law to be.
I wouldn't report anyone in violation of those silly bathroom laws, for example.

last night Rachel had an interesting discussion of the trumps and their problems with the corrupt practices act? jared Kushner has been doing business with an international company that is in US court right now for bribery. it turns out that we have this thing called "the foreign corrupt practices act" that makes it a crime in this country to do business with bad actors in other countries. ivanka (and the rest of the trumps) had dealings in Azerbaijan with a family linked to support of the Iranian revolutionary guard.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Foreign_C ... ctices_Act

Wonder how many Trump voters unironically bitched about Clinton's supposed corruption and are now imploding their heads trying to rationalize and excuse all this...


ivanka deciding to run a woman's charity out of the whitehouse while soliciting international donations blows my mind. it is so very "Clinton foundation in the republican feverdream" ish that I cant imagine what she's thinking.

*Shrug* I just wouldn't care.

My favorite is when my brother had a neighbor telling him he hadn't immigrated legally. Like...maaaybe don't just go around telling people that blatantly. Of course, my brother didn't care, so it was fine, but still.

Few million spent on running for president for a pay off of millions every year for the rest of his life. Art of the deal, yo. And that's before we consider the rent he charged his own campaign for using his own building, the rent he's charging the Secret Service to protect his wife and son in his building, the money he's making bringing dignitaries to his resort in Florida, etc, etc, etc.


and after death, if he manages to repeal the estate tax, his heirs save extra billions right there on the spot.

yeah

One hell of a for-profit presidency.

did you see that ivanka is planning on running some kind of women's charity, funded by international donations, out of the whitehouse??

More like Ivanka's planning on protecting the family business from her father's rampant sexism.



Hah, brilliant.

Wouldn't you call the regular police if you thought their was a dangerous individual in your city?
In ancient times, men built wonders, laid claim to the stars and sought to better themselves for the good of all. But we are much wiser now.

If the road is easy, the destination is worthless.

Nearly all men can stand adversity, but if you want to test a man's character, give him power.

I highly doubt my soul mate is living in Thailand and only a click away.

The idea isn't to see that criminals are brought to justice, it's to give Trump stories to tell in his speeches about ordinary, hard-working Americans being victimised by dastardly foreigners.

...oh, crap.

To be fair, the ninth circuit is probably too big, encompassing the entire West Coast, what they border, Montana, Alaska, Hawaii, the Mariana Islands, and Guam. That's eleven entities; 15 if you count the sub-divisions. No other circuit is that big; the 8th goes up to 10 entities including sub-divisions, and only 7 if you only count the states proper. Four circuits are a meager three states in size, for crying out loud.

His reason for doing so is most certainly not "it's too dang big", but that's a good reason to support a division.
