Yeah, it’s pretty hard to wrap your head around, especially hearing she was neck-deep by the time he got to her. I’m guessing she didn’t feel physically capable of making it onto the roof and worried if she climbed out of the car’s interior she’d get swept away faster.

Maybe this is just wishful thinking, but with the amount he seems to have declined in the last few years both physically and mentally, I can’t imagine he will be capable in any capacity of running again.

I don’t know. I mean, they definitely hate each other, but there is also nothing Republicans do better than falling in line when it matters.

His “tough guy” face is truly hilarious. He did it in his mug shot, too. He’s trying sooo fucking hard.

While I generally agree with you, this case is literally an example of how the public’s outrage DOES matter and potentially changed the course of this case, regardless of the legality.

Most of the time it’s not as egregious as trying to use a free trial for streaming to force arbitration for wrongful death at an amusement park. I truly can’t imagine any world where this doesn’t blow up because it’s so outrageous.

I’m just confused how anyone thought this was a good idea to begin with. Surely the strong public backlash could have been easily anticipated.

It isn’t about having a bad taste from the past. Policy like this would further disenfranchise vulnerable populations present day. A barrier for entry like this is going to disproportionately impact lower income folks. Hard to study for a test like this when you’re busting your ass at 3 part time jobs trying to make ends meet. That’s not even to mention the inequality that exists within the education system between higher and lower income areas to begin with. “Our system failed you, so now you’re not qualified to vote. Cheers!”

Three guesses as to who this policy would affect more: white people or people of color?

God, if only we actually had our own country…
