Leniency in this case could be institutionalization as opposed to the death penalty or life in a regular prison.

Yes, and his parents seem like they really wanted what was best for him.


Even if he can never be free again, there’s still a spectrum of outcomes for him.


Thank you. I was asking a genuine question. Some here seemed to get the impression I was advocating for something unsavory.


That’s a good point.


You definitely wouldn’t want to generalize. You’d try to determine what they would have wanted based on available information.


In a case like this, where the victims would likely want them to be lenient on the murderer, is that taken in to consideration during sentencing?


This is 390,000 years before God created the Earth, which makes it even more impressive

Yeah, at least you can ignore this. It’s not some unskippable demand for money screaming into you brain.

40% of Americans believe that dinosaurs lived concurrently with humans. We have problems here.


Do we know if other mammals can enjoy the feeling of being drunk the way humans do?
Probably some specific memory Trump has of seeing a cup with “too many pencils, why do you need so many pencils???” 40 years ago. Just like the doll thing. There are more modern, relevant examples of discretionary spending he could have chosen, but his brain is mush from 1985.


Texas is still a red state, so statewide races like Ted’s US Senate seat are a stretch. Though Beto amazingly got within 2 points in 2018!


That’s pretty messed up, but according to the article they only sent that letter out to a couple thousand people, which is not many in a state that size. It’s going to be hard for them to mess with voting eligibility on a large scale. Even stuff like this (which could be illegal), where they make some people jump through extra hoops to be able to vote, could end up depressing more Republican votes than Democratic ones. The big political realignment of the past 10 years has be largely along education lines - those with 4-year degrees or more sorting to Democrats, and those with less education sorting to Republicans. This flips the old system (poor Dems/rich Republicans) on its head. Things like voter ID laws, which are intended to inconvenience and depress the vote of people who don’t have their shit together, aren’t going to disproportionately hurt Democrats the way they used to, and could in fact have the reverse effect.


Red states are redrawing their districts based on 2024 margins. This may bite them in the ass, especially in Texas, if they expect their massive gains with Latinos to hold after the ICE horror show and terrible economy. All of their new R+8 gerrymandered districts might not be as safe as they thought in a D+10 midterm.
