If you shit your pants during a pat down right as the officer has their hands around your ass/inner thigh, would it be considered assault?

I need the legal side of bluesky to chime in on this.

When a cop pats you down, they aren’t necessarily looking for diarrhea, but if you have any on you, they’re gonna find it, and they’ll never believe you were holding it for a friend.

Trump to generals: "We have beautiful paper, the gorgeous paper. I said, 'throw a little more gold on it, they deserve it. I want the A paper not the D paper.' We used to sign a piece of garbage ... I want to use the big beautiful firm paper."

Congratulations Governor Tim Walz and all Minnesotans.

From the Minnesota community on Reddit. A posting by Governor Walz @GovTimWalz. "Minnesota just earned a AAA Bond rating - that's basically an 850 credit score for the state, thanks to responsible budgeting and strong fiscal management. Our employers added 5,900 new jobs in August - beating the national average. A bet against Minnesota is a bad bet." Published 19 September 2025

Seems like a plausible justification to go to war in the middle east.

Rory Blank @roryblank.bsky.social · Sep 14

people on the right now seem absolutely certain that the guy was "antifa", people on the left are now certain that the guy was a "groyper", so I have decided, without any tangible evidence, to take a third position, that the guy has chatgpt psychosis and thought he was a future cop

Chicago and the Dems need to step up so we can forgive the 1968 Chicago DNC

Hillary Rodham Clinton @hillaryclinton.bsky.social · Sep 3

It's not normal for an American president to send troops to American cities in times of peace.

Chicago, document what you see and be loud for America.

Quote from Gov. JB Pritzker: Authoritarians thrive on your silence. Be loud for America."

We desperately need rent control laws but also some guardrails on property taxes

Getting a felony assault on a law enforcement officer charge because you whipped a subway sandwich at them just screams that cops are scared little bitches.

Seeing clips of Rep Mike Flood's town hall makes me wonder how long until politicians start getting removed via defenestration?

I didn't have an inherently negative reaction to this. But I do have questions:

1. Are we really trying to colonize the moon and, if so, are we doing this as the US, the United Nations, or under some technocratic banner?

2. ...Why though?

Telling someone to just get a better job is a weird way of telling someone "I acknowledge your job has to be done, but whoever is doing it should live in poverty".
