PA has a closed primary. In closed primaries, people tend to switch their registration in order to effect the primary they see as most impactful. It is not unlikely that the shooter registered as republican to vote against Trump in the primary.

Edit: Downvotes without explanation are fun...

Thanks. I guess is was being a little credulous when I read that.

Wait, Garland is Federalist Society? That explains so much!

You're right, it does. He's pretty unlikely to win in court, but lawyers are expensive. I expect they'll reach a settlement just to avoid paying lawyers. Journalists aren't known for having deep pockets to pay legal fees, unfortunately.

There is no prosecutor involved here. She is being civilly sued for defamation. She might go to jail if she defies a subpoena to turn over internal records that include confidential sources.

Overall it seems like the ex governor might actually have a leg to stand on in court, but the bar for defamation is high. I think it's unlikely that, if this went to court, the ex governor would win. I expect this to be settled before actually being argued in court, though.

Yeah, that makes a lot of sense. The trucks with the arms would be unpractical in a city where bins are more closely spaced.

Ah, we have a separate plastic bin for mixed recycling so no issues there for us. Like someone else said, these probably are slower than an additional person when you have tons of bins like you would in a city.

The ones where I am only have one person. The truck has an arm to pick up the bins and dump them into the top of the truck.

There are places a skinny naked person can hide things. What do we do about that?

So, which would you honestly rather have? Someone who may or may not be in cognitive decline or someone who wants to become a fascist dictator?

I'm not saying that Biden is in cognitive decline but I am saying that Trump is a wannabe fascist dictator.

I've come to the conclusion that conservatives are just people whose sense of empathy is broken. Over and over I hear about conservatives who held bigoted beliefs and only changed their minds when confronted by someone they love becoming the target of other people's identical bigoted beliefs. These people just can't empathize enough to think "what if it was my child/spouse/friend?"
