  1. Username checks out. JFC. But you're not just a jerk, you are a fucking idiot.
  2. I think OSU is going to be able to reproduce their first drive more often than ND can reproduce theirs.
  3. Interior line play and athletic QB.
  4. Passing legislation to address perceived problems is again not the same as prosecuting your enemies. Ever heard of the ex post facto clause? Adams was dead 150 years before Eugene Debs. Just give it up, your examples are shit and inapposite.
  5. I mean Bevo's not dumb. And it is true that political retribution is fairly normal in various forms, but not this one. As are political shifts in the civil end of DOJ, which is another animal altogether. Maybe he's another victim of the normalization/sanewashing of Trump. And, while Nixon's pardon was pre-emptive, its purpose was at least somewhat noble in intention: he was out of office, let's just move on from this. He was going to be prosecuted by another R administration. This is NOT normal.
  6. Really, just fuck you. Fuck your own face.
  7. God damn dude. Criminal. Prosecution. Enemies.
  8. You realize none of those are threats of criminal prosecution, right? And none by anyone with any control over the DOJ.
  9. I don't think SMU is taking any problem children to speak of. They're back pretty close to big-time now. TCU, maybe. Hell, at this point, EMCC is questionable.
  10. We're not talking about impeachment or congressmen talking about impeachment, we're talking about the nominal head of the US DOJ threatening to weaponize the Department of Justice against his enemies. Not political retribution. Criminal. Prosecution. Yes, political retribution is common. Criminal prosecution as political retribution is not. You're not going to find a citation for that because it's never happened
  11. Yeah, the only applicability I see is that principals often try to create incentives that backfire on them. Congress in 1988 (maybe beforehand too, but the current statute is 1988) immunized vaccine manufacturers from civil suits except via vaccine injury panels. So maybe that's an unnecessary incentive. But mandatory vaccines aren't new either. All sorts of state actors require you to be vaccinated for multiple diseases. Good luck getting a manufacturer to fast-track a vaccine during a pandemic without immunity from suit.
  12. Biden didn't threaten anyone. In the ordinary course of judicial business, a bunch of criminals were prosecuted for doing crimes. Trump has been threatening this for years now.
  13. Is that Crayon? Rip Van Gomez, I guess.
  14. No president has ever threatened to prosecute his enemies from a past administration. Impeachment is a different deal altogether; it's not criminal, it happens during the administration; it's inherently political.
  15. Yeah until and unless Trump and Trumpism pass into faded memory, this is what we've got.
  16. That's not an agency rule. It's a statute passed by Congress nearly 40 years ago.
  17. Point of order, they can still do hearings.
  18. Wait, you mean the rollout of Trump's vaccine? Operation what was it? You never prosecute for perjury unless you can prove the absolute untruth of what was said.
  19. I imagine that's why he did it, not out of fear that they would be convicted and sentenced, but that you can beat the rap but not the ride. Criminal venue is quite narrow and would likely place most of these cases in DC, so fears of more Cannons are overplayed. And she's an outlier even so.
  20. Although it is a form of corporate welfare, I can't say that I really disagree with it. It's a policy that applies to all vaccine developers and manufacturers, and, although Pfizer and Moderna made out financially, I'm not sure that's true for all vaccines and I think the landscape would be considerably different without it.
  21. Guess how long such immunity has been around? https://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/42/300aa-22 The point is that vaccines serve a greater public good, even if they are not perfect and even if some people are injured by them. Guess whatever it takes to support a position you want to support. Notorious librul rag questioning the calls for Fauci's prosecution https://reason.com/2022/12/16/what-do-republicans-want-to-prosecute-fauci-for-exactly/ And, no one sane is calling for Fauci to be prosecuted, it's only performative assholes like Rand, Ted Cruz, MTG, Biggs and the rest of the fuckwad squad. They're not serious people.
  22. And he's also been gobbling Trump crank for a year or more. And he's South African. And a grifter deluxe. https://www.politico.com/story/2017/04/patrick-soon-shiong-taxes-nanthealth-foundation-236728
  23. No it isn't. What's horrendous is the demands for prosecution for a government official, who has official immunity, incidentally, and an apparent willingness of the president-elect to prosecute. The pardon is a symptom, not the disease. And Rand Paul is a full-time cunt about everything, always. Ask his neighbor. I'm sick of these fuckers.
