so we should allow the police to lock up anyone they like for any reason and you can pay to not have that happen.

We already have that, its called "the government"

If your vision of total dystopia is evolved bandits distributing unilateral violence to enforce laws they invented I've got some bad news for you

As for chaos, everybody knows chaos isn't disorder, it's just order that's inaccessible to human senses.

That sounds like government with extra steps...

I'd like to see a total dystopia based on Libetarian beliefs.

Word is that Mueller could be giving his report to the AG as early as next week. CNN has a somewhat deeper detail into it.

I thought it would maybe have a few more months in it, but we're going to have to cross the bridge of the Mueller investigation concluding at some point anyways. Hopefully the report comes out publicly with minimal redactions.

Every other bloody week since it started someone has said Mueller's investigation will be wrapping up as early as next week.

Mueller is like the Christian end times, he'll get here when he gets here, and untill it happens you can probably assume predictions as to the time of his coming are bupkis.

E: though pertinently enough, constantly predicting it is an age old prophecy trick. Keep doing it and eventually you'll be right and can start yelling loud enough everyone forgets the earlier goes.

True enough, though they also point out signs that the Mueller probe appears to be wrapping up, or at least entering a new phase.

Very amusingly, the CNN link to the "deeper detail" goes to a blank page.

That's kind of the crux of the matter, though; we're operating on so little data that it's hard to tell if Mueller's ending the probe, shifting its focus, handing off related investigations to other prosecutors or cleaning his office. He's moving staff and paper around. That could be anything.

I thought it was just me, and my employer finally implemented some kind of firewall to block people from goofing off on the internet.

I should get back to work...

Figuring out he was prohibited was the one time things worked properly.

It was so late though!

Fine. I concede.

yep, the bit in purple was in fact the dependent clause for "failed to arrest him", not a separate thing they did.

Thank you, I was aware lol. We call these things jokes here, on this planet, which we call Earth :3
In Earth 1 we call them jokes as well


Anyone from Earth 2?

To borrow a quote from Putin, anyone who wasn't a libertarian when they were 14 has no heart. Anyone who's a libertarian long after has no brain.

Not from earth 2, but earth 4 had a good view of 2 getting devoured by a herd of omnicidal space ponies. You don't have to worry about earth 2 anymore.
