Voters don’t pay attention and the MSM earns their pay on doing the coverup.

Always vote no on judicial retention.

Drunk driving laws, as they currently exist, are largely the work of MADD: an early group of organized “karens”. The original group of organized “karens” is the Women’s Christian Temperance Union.

Truck driver can’t escape unless bail is lowered. $700 and driver is free.

...the work of MADD


We had a local group. DAMM. Drunks Against Mad Mothers.

Just a stale joke. There is no excuse to drive intoxicated. That’s a serious issue.

I’m so old I can remember when in Texas, wrecking while drunk was an excuse. “Did you see that car that took out the pole?”

“Yeah, well he was drunk. Didn’t even get hurt, you are more relaxed when you’re drunk!”

Anger and sadness with a side of helplessness. If I were single and carefree I would have looked for an ideal country to call my own years ago.

There is no excuse to drive intoxicated.

Four decades of MADD propaganda have had their effect.

Meanwhile, on my daily commute I see presumably "sober" drivers weaving through traffic, yakking on their mobile phones, farding, reading books, eating from a plate with a fork, and various other things which distract them far more from the task at hand than alcohol intoxication.

But four decades of propaganda have produced an almost religious jihad against drunk driving ... to the exclusion of far worse misbehavior behind the wheel.

Yeppers there was a co-worker of mine at USPS that married quite the smart mouthed twerp. But she was a nut job in her own right, got jealous of me talking to her best friend (a guy), and tried to run me over and kill me in the parking lot—make it look like an accident.

I got enough higher-ups involved and she stopped being stupid. Kinda.

She and her newlywed husband loved going to Austin and one time came back sporting t-shirts that read “Keep Austin Weird”.

Yeahhh thinking now why didn’t they just put in for a transfer and live there?

Anyhow now that I know just how awful things are in Austin, like filthy nasty awful, it grieves me that it exists in Texas. Houston being another.

Never pick Finland 🇫🇮.

Not so long ago, they used whips on drunk drivers’ bare feet.

1970?

Houston and El paso are the armpits...

San Antonio used to be nice.. but I hear that it has gone downhill, sadly.

Dallas has always been left leaning, but I heard it got worse.. and Fort Worth was conservative for a LONG time, until recently, I heard it went into the crapper too.

All cities with a population over a couple 100k, I think turn blue (spoil is a better way to describe it).

I think Trump needs to replace all the law school accreditors, thus declare all current law degrees insufficient—and we need to start with a whole new bunch of attorneys, judges, Supremes, etc.

Hey, troll-boi.

I mean, glowie.

The article at the link didn’t have the judge’s order, but quoted a TV station as saying

“...the bond agreement now requires Weldekeal-Araya to:

Avoid driving commercial vehicles
Surrender travel documents
Wear a GPS monitor for only 90 days
Submit to random urine tests
Check in with Pretrial Services”

For killing 5 people and baby?

You must be a laywer for PFauci or the Bidens.

Harsh. I remember back in the day hearing that Singapore would cut the hand off a thief and that you’d get in trouble for spitting gum out on the sidewalk. They said it was one of the safest places in the world.
