‘It is simple. You name the crime’: AOC has contentious exchange with Biden probe witness ( www.cnn.com )

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez asked former Biden family associate Tony Bobulinski about what crimes he alleges he witnessed President Biden commit during a House Oversight Committee hearing. CNN's Melanie Zanona breaks down the exchange.

News outlets, I implore you, please start writing articles and stop just posting videos.

theparadox ,

But if they just keep posting trending videos they can fire more journalists. Writing more articles means they'd have to hire them and they are expensive.

This is the conversation everyone should have with police when they demand ID.

That may get you shot.

Instead, read and react based on this article https://www.rocketlawyer.com/family-and-personal/general-legal-matters/legal-guide/police-stops-know-your-rights-when-pulled-over-or-questioned#:~:text=After%20you%20speak%20with%20the,is%20a%20crime%20in%20itself.

It's consistent with what I've seen other lawyers say and remember when the police are near it's always Shut The Fuck Up Friday.

doingthestuff ,

If you're pulled over they can make up a crime, the laws around driving and vehicles are almost endless. Give them your ID. But if you're just on the sidewalk or something, start recording and ask them what crime you're suspected of. "Suspicious" or "I got a call" is not a crime.

Also don't do two crimes at once. For example, you can either jaywalk or have crack in your pocket. But don't do both. Prioritize - it's the key to success.

So you're saying that I should finish plotting to overthrow the government of Myanmar and THEN rob a bank rather than try to do both at the same time?

Nah that's just efficiency.

You have an inalienable right to stfu. Use it.

Am I being detained? Goodbye.

That's the extent of the conversation you should have with cops

Nurse_Robot ,

Here in CO you can be legally detained for 24 hours for no reason last time I checked. While you have every right to refuse ID when it's within your right, I'm much more likely to just hand it over rather than risk being detained overnight. Which sucks.

DrMorose ,

That is not true. They still need probable cause to detain you, and if they have that they can actually hold you up to a max of 72 hrs before they must file actual charges. But for a stop they can only detain you in so long to effect the investagory period. That can take however long but for say a traffic stop should be like 20-30 minutes.

homesweethomeMrL ,

A few people in the Atlanta jail died while having no charges filed.

S'true.

Holland had been in jail since May 2023, waiting to find out if the DA’s office was going to prosecute him on charges of Aggravated Assault on a Law Enforcement Officer and Obstruction.

Holland is the eleventh inmate to die in the jail in the past year--the first death in 2024.

These schmucks keep repeating "RICO" like it's some dumbass SovCit incantation or something.

That's because they're trying to normalize what Trump is being charged with in Georgia

Asafum ,

This is always what they do with everything.

Ever wonder why "BoTh SiDeS" arguments are so prevalent? It's because they work tirelessly to take any argument one might have about the right and pin it on someone from the left too.

It's the projection you see constantly. It's their #1 go-to "trick." Level the playing field and now your supporters can stay with you because "the other guy is just as bad and I hate woke anyway so I'm sticking with (insert Hitlerwannabe here)"

Exactly. See:

  • "Fake news"
  • The Biden crime family
  • Democrats stole the election
  • Biden had classified documents
  • Claims that Democrats want to get rid of democracy
  • "No puppet. No puppet. You're the puppet."
ghostdoggtv ,

At this point if you see "both sides" and don't immediately assume it's a right winger you should probably double check to make sure you're not standing in a flaming pile of shit

RGB3x3 ,

Really all they have are "whataboutisms." They did this with Obama when criticizing Trump, they're doing it with Biden, they did it with Hillary.

They never address the problems of their party, it's always about what the other guy is doing, which is usually entirely made up.

Wait wrong Rico...

CPMSP ,

It's almost as if they've been coached. Say it ain't so.

BossDj ,

Sir, for a dollar can you name a crime?

Name a crime?

Yes name a crime.

Any crime?

Name a crime

Why is this so hard?

Fucking yoga bag, name a crime

I'm sorry!

Name a crime

Name a crime?

NAME A CRIME!

I did not know of that sketch, thanks! I don't know if it's staged or not (I hope it was because he was too aggressive IMO), but I would have replied "your mom".

BossDj ,

Billy on the Street was a tv show through Funny or Die that ran for years. He approached random new Yorkers and asked them pop culture questions. Some people think there might have been staged stuff, but supposedly it's all real.

Here's a best of: https://youtu.be/HBOpO7RgS64?si=iYsnc1WUl8TX7Hhr

Is Tony Bobulinski related to Dennis Denuto?
