Anonymous asked: I drunkenly berated my friend who believed nobody should be able to hire a private attorney because it's not fair to people he considered lower class who would be stuck with public defenders. I used the argument like what, Should the government just subsidize all paralegal work? I feel like I didn't make my case well enough

libertybill:

I mean it’s cool that they admit the government option is not a good one. Public defenders are usually not the best option, but I think a solution is similar to an idea frequently floated when it comes to public schools. Vouchers.

Rather than the government assigning you a public defender, they can provide you a voucher to go out and find your own legal advice. This allows low income individuals to find better legal advice and have lawyers compete for the business of the defendant.

So my dad has new clients and their son is transgender. He got pregnant with his boyfriend and put the baby up for adoption and the baby was adopted by a gay couple….which means that his baby daughter has 4 dads and no mom.

This kid is going to own at the ‘my dad can beat up your dad’ game.

“I’d rather support a continuation of massive over-regulatuon of our economy, bombing of countries we’re not at war with, encroachments on civil liberties and the continuation of the two party system than ever considering support for the Libertarian candidate”

I’m so excited to get killed by mutated lanternfish with arms.

Gonna have to shoot at them all just to be safe.

I’m going to waste so many bullets shooting plants.

Author unknown,

There are so many potential presidential candidates! Some have military experience! Let’s nominate a dog!

To be honest, a service dog would probably be way better for the country then anyone running right now.

They already have experience leading the blind.
