    Not to mention, the minute it happens, the government will carpet the skies with observation drones in the name of safety

    Maybe, but honestly there isn't too much a need for them to thanks to the existence of things like TLO. Maybe for surveillance over less developed areas?

    Idk I'm not happy about any of this but it's interesting to speculate what a modern day cyberpunk is going to look like.

      Bizzare. Americans are seriously crazy. It's a monarchy really, it's so in your face, like a bad comedy.

      Yes, this is actually a much more helpful way to think about Trump's approach to presidency. Here is Dr David Smith from the United States Studies Centre explaining this in a recent episode of PEP (excellent in-depth American politics podcast from Australia).

          Drone warfare is politically agnostic. If it can be used by a Luigi against a healthcare CEO, it can be used by far-right extremists against progressive politicians, pride parades, or Black churches. I'm not very jazzed to live in the world of Slaughterbots.

          I feel with that interpretation, any weapon is politically agnostic. Which I'd agree with given the use of firearms used by far right extremists to shoot up Walmarts, clubs, and churches. They've already been using weapons against their "adversaries" like the domestic terrorists they are.

          But agreed, I'm not actually excited about it. The premise is horrifying. I do hope the good guys pull the trigger first on this one.

            Have you seen how long it takes someone to get through death row? If convicted, he will sit for 20 years. Far far beyond the current political discourse.

            If he gets convicted, that will be a stink for a while. But by the time they kill him, he will be a distant memory.

            Martyrs die when the timing is optimal. If it isnt the right time, they are just a name on a gravestone. And we have plenty of those.

              Now your asking them to commit perjury - which is also bad. (In case anyone reads this and decides to try their best poker face)

              Now you're asking them to commit perjury - which is also bad.

              Only if they get caught and punished for it. Laws exist to discourage bad behavior, which lying in service of justice isn't, so in this case breaking the law is the morally correct thing to do.

              Like shooting a billionaire or the CEO of a predatory corporation.

                  You know they'll disqualify anyone who might even hint at knowledge of jury nullification from the jury pool. They'll be selected on their ability to convict solely.

                                  Sure, whatever, but lying under oath during the jury selection process is a crime called perjury. Morale correctness aside, I'm just trying to keep folks out of jail my dude.

                                    No, they usually ask something like "Do you have any personal beliefs that would prevent you from returning a guilty verdict involved with this type of crime?" - seriously yall, this shit isn't hard to look up and is usually posted right alongside explanations for what jury nullification is. Frankly, I doubt anyone reading this is rich enough to pull the "you didn't specifically ask about jury nullification therefore I technically did not commit perjury"-card.

                                    Well at least now I know it's effectively illegal for me to be on a jury for the rest of my life. So that's cool.

                                      Evidently Pam Bondi has financial lobbyist interests for the GEO group.
                                      They own a bunch of private prisons and mental health facilities.

                                      I wonder if we could get creative to bring down the profits of this group in retaliation of her idiotic direction.

                                          My current tinfoil-hat conspiracy theory is that’s exactly what they’re banking on. They’ll draw the trial out until right before the midterm election… Then Trump will use the resulting riots to declare martial law and cancel the midterm elections, so he doesn’t lose control of congress.
