On the bright side, this word vomit will by itself probably set AI language models back a year.

The legal definition is when a reasonable person would no longer feel free to leave.

No. Because the police don’t have to Mirandize someone when they arrest them.

This isn’t difficult.

He wasn’t under arrest from the first moment the police talked to him. That doesn’t mean he wasn’t at any subsequent point put under arrest.

The motion isn’t likely to succeed.

I didn’t move the goalposts. You even responded to my specific response to what you said.

He was arrested when they searched the bag. Not when he was being questioned.

Identity, where’d he been, his ID, don’t constitute “interrogation” for the purpose of Miranda rights.

That’s more or less true, but he didn’t ask, “Am I under arrest.”

1. Miranda rights don’t need to be read until the person in question is under arrest.

2. If it was on his person at the time of his arrest, then they can search it without a warrant.

You don’t have to agree with the prosecution of Mangione but critiquing procedure a faux-legalistic perspective does nobody any good.

There’s something very irritating to me about the President using the word “trolling.”

Maybe I’m being a stick in the mud, but the Leader of the Free World using Internet slang just doesn’t seem right to me. It’s petty, I know, but still.

It is not, however, as irritating as people defending the shit he does to throw the global economy and international community into chaos, by saying he’s just trolling.

So it’s okay to try and kill Americans so long as they aren’t in America?

You are still arguing that we shouldn’t be bombing them, despite the fact they’re bombing us and arguing that their bombing us is understandable because we’re bombing them, even though we’re only bombing them because they’re bombing us.

Whenever I see this argument, I am stunned by the lack of self awareness.

We bomb them, so it’s natural that they want to bomb us.

They bomb us and we need to accept it and self-flagellate over past wrongs.

You hold a double standard and a stupid one at that, considering how much more we can do to them than they can do to us.

The premise is, frankly, racist. You treat the Arabs as if they’re too stupid to think in the long term, to look beyond short term retaliation.

McCarthy was in fact backed in 1946 in the Republican primary against progressive Robert M. La Follette Jr. by the Wisconsin Communist Party because they felt that La Follette would be more effective in opposing communism.

Well, I am profoundly depressed.

Companies will raise prices to account for what they’re losing on the tariffs.

I saw someone say it seems that the tariffs were calculated by dividing our trade deficit by their exports to us and cutting that number in half. Another person analyzed his charts and concluded they look a lot like they were generated by AI.

So, there is, literally no basis in logic. Either one of Trump’s minions calculated what it would take to recoup the difference in the trade deficit and just wrote it down and he announced that as the new basis for international trade, which has never, ever been done, for the reason that it is fucking idiotic, or he asked Gemini how to execute his already objectively stupid policy and wrote an Executive Order making it the law.

And the fact that we are forced to accept people on the Internet’s guesses about how he calculated these numbers may actually be worse than the fact that just about every product on the market more complex than a stapler just jumped about 30% in price.

It is.

In light of the Trump Administration, a lot of the terrible shit other Presidents have done is a lot less noteworthy.

Remember Hillary’s emails?

I wonder if the people who go on about it actually understood the implications of the email server, or just reacted when Fox told them to.

Alice in Wonderland.

Maybe we’ll get lucky and he’ll move against the nuclear arsenal and the Army will finally give him the boot.
