This is similar to my take on roe v wade. The supreme Court looked at the constitution and said "oh, there's abortion, right there". It was inevitable it would get overturned because it's not actually in the constitution anywhere. The Dems had 50 years to pass an actual federal law and failed.

Yes. Yes they are. Anyone who wants more government control of the justice system, and less accountability to the people, is a bootlicker. People in those countries are expected to trust that the state did it's due diligence before putting someone on trial, and as the right sweeps these countries they're going to learn why that's a mistake.

Nonsense. It depends on how.much it slowed (from that distance, quite a lot), whether it tumbled (from that distance, likely), and where it actually struck.

The character was meant to be stupid and cringy, the sort of boss who thinks he's super cool and everyone loves him but really they can't stand him. Most people have had a boss like that and Ricky played it brilliantly. Steve carrell played it like the lovable goofball who actually is friends with his staff. NBC took something real and unique and turned it into another boring generic workplace sitcom. Mary Tyler Moore did it better 40 years prior.
