  • a lot of people in agreement that the truth was out there, but bitterly divided as to what it might actually be.

    This has been my take.

    They're not there for the truth. They're there for validation.

    Did you know that police can no longer lie to children to gain confessions? (In some states?)

    When law enforcement officers question a young person in custody, it is called custodial interrogation. In many states, lawyers are not guaranteed for every child during police interrogation, and most states allow children to waive their right to legal counsel—even if they are unclear about what that means.

    In Delaware, Illinois, Oregon and Utah, law enforcement cannot use deceptive tactics such as making false claims about evidence or promising leniency when questioning a minor. Nevada is among the states to have enacted other safeguards, such as requiring police officers to read a simplified version of Miranda rights to young people during interrogations. Utah passed a similar bill earlier this year. Some states, including California, Illinois, Maryland and Washington, have adopted legislation to mandate that youth speak to a defense attorney before waiving their Miranda rights.

    Also during the 2023 legislative session, three states—Colorado, Indiana and Nevada—enacted laws making a young person’s statement inadmissible if deceptive tactics are used during questioning.

    J.D. Vance Can’t Explain Why Trump Threw Him Under the Bus in Debate
  • Yep.

    Donald Trump’s vice presidential pick Ohio Sen. JD Vance was once a fervent critic of the former president. In private messages, he wondered ahead of Trump’s election whether he was “America’s Hitler” and in 2017 said the then-president was a “moral disaster.” In public, he agreed Trump was a “total fraud” who didn’t care about regular people and called him “reprehensible.”

    A group of Navy sailors secretly used Starlink to check sports scores, social media and watch movies. They hid it from rank-and-file.

    Navy officer lost job for secretly installing internet on warship to check social media

    A U.S. Navy chief who wanted the internet so she and other enlisted officers could scroll social media, check sports scores and watch movies while deployed had an unauthorized Starlink satellite dish installed on a warship and lied to her commanding officer to keep it secret, according to investigators.

    Internet access is restricted while a ship is underway to maintain bandwidth for military operations and to protect against cybersecurity threats.

    The Navy quietly relieved Grisel Marrero, a command senior chief of the littoral combat ship USS Manchester, in August or September 2023, and released information on parts of the investigation this week.

    Unlocked, loaded guns more common among parents who give kids firearm lessons
  • I grew up with rifles that were locked in the garage. And I was a stupid kid who figured out how to look down the barrel and point them at the neighbors' fence. They were "hidden" in an area where I could mess with them for a few hours without my family knowing.

    I was given the whole talk but I never took it seriously until years later when I got on the range and did some actual hunting and cried my ass off killing an animal.

    Knowing how stupid I was, I assume the worse with my family.

    Today, I keep a pistol in a secure case in the house. But it's in my office near all the other critical things where I can see it/my kids can't access it without lots of barriers. It also means that it's kinda useless for quick access and would take a few minutes to get. I'm okay with that.

  • Unlocked, loaded guns more common among parents who give kids firearm lessons
  • All the gun owners I know talk the biggest talk about safety. Then the moment they get to show it off, they wave their guns around like school children and pointing it at random things and fetishizing it.

    Mine is locked up and secured. And if I take it out, I'm using it.

  • Harris says Trump is ‘gonna lie’ at presidential debate
  • I'm pretty sure they practiced with a few different stand-ins to really simulate the Donald Trump experience.

    One was a baby crying for 2 hours.

    Another was a rambling coke head they found wandering in the street.

    Another is an old man with dementia.

    And another was a 10-year old kid who just goes, "Nu uh you"

    The difference is where Orange Man actively instigates violence. Everything out of his mouth comes from a egotistic or selfish perspective.

    Where me mocking idiots on the internet is more about shutting down bad ideas from spreading.

    Riverside Sheriff walks into a house without a warrant, steps in, and says "Now that I'm inside your house, I own your house right now."

    The Riverside County Sheriff's Office is investigating the circumstances that led to the arrest of a French Valley woman in the early hours of July 4.

    Riverside Sheriff investigating incident that led to arrest depicted in viral video

    According to the video, a minor answered the door after the deputy rang the bell. Captions in the video say the minor closed the door after seeing the deputy, only for the deputy to open the door and let himself in.

    After Shirey points at the deputy, he grabs her and pulls her onto the front porch before putting her in handcuffs. The Sheriff's Department says she was ultimately booked into the Cois Byrd Detention Center for resisting arrest and contributing to the delinquency of a minor.

    "This incident occurred over a month before being posted to social media and only days before the arraignment of the individual arrested for delaying/obstructing an investigation and contributing to the delinquency of minors," the Sheriff's Office said in a statement.

    All body-worn camera footage has been obtained, and the Sheriff's Office says it will conduct a thorough investigation to determine if discipline is warranted.
