In this instance? Probably. We just had a hearing for a guy charged with bigamy and DV, and he got to renew his license. We have another guy who owns a bar (thank god not in my city) that's known for being a dangerous shithole, and he keeps getting licensed somehow. Most liquor laws make it pretty hard to essentially take away someone's livelihood, regardless of what you or I think about it. I wish it was treated as more of a privilege than it is, but Trump is far from the only felon with a liquor license.

Anyone applying for or holding a liquor license is entitled to a hearing if they're denied. That doesn't change just because it's Trump. I do liquor licensing in a different state and you really can't just take it away without due process. He may well get to keep the licenses, because his conviction wasn't related to liquor laws, and for us, that's one of the only times we can revoke one. This is really not a case of him getting special treatment.

Don't forget about the wifi might be damaging kids' brains thing. That was fun. Less fun is that people have pointed out that a lot of her stated foreign policy goals happened to align with Russia's. She's a big ol' no for me.

No, I'm just not an idiot and I know how the real world works. I wouldn't vote for Jill Stein even if there was a chance of a third party win, but in this case, there isn't, and anyone who votes for her is playing right into Trump's tiny baby hands. And, by extension, Putin. Though, tbh, I kind of wonder if you're actually even American after looking at your comment history. The grammar and spelling are mostly good, but there are a couple of slips with terms that aren't really used here.

The only way we’re ~~stopping fascism in Israel~~ ensuring Trump wins and enables Netanyahu to finish his genocide is if everyone votes Green.

FTFY.

I mean, I'm fine with it? There's nothing wrong with being alone. There's a lot wrong with being with a guy with a comment history like yours.

That's where I'm at. I moved back home after my divorce about 8 years ago and it's been really nice. My mom and I have always been really close, and it's nice to spend more time together as we get older. I'd rather pay rent to her and help with the bills than pay a landlord, too.

Yeah I can see that. I guess where I have an issue is that the old white guy who shot up a Planned Parenthood a few years back was taken alive (and he's far from the only example) and it's like, why is it that they can negotiate and talk guys like that down but don't bother to even attempt to de-escalate with brown kids? Or brown adults, really.

You guys ever see a horse eat a baby chick? I have. The only thing surprising about this is that he wasn't eating the pigeons.

Thank god for that. Imagine the horror of human babies just clawing their way out when they were ready.

After reading the rest of your comments, you could've just saved a lot of time by saying you don't know how the government works. And if anyone else happens to read this and think, "Hey that's a good point," no, it isn't. It's ignorant at best, actively malicious at worst. Sounds a whole lot like many of the comments trying to get people not to vote.

I mean, I get that, but there's no amount of money that could make me do the things he's done because I'd hate myself in a way money can't fix. He (and the rest of the conservatives on the court) have hurt so many people and I don't know how they aren't even a little bothered. It's like they're legal robots who can't feel empathy.
