Funniest/Most Insightful Comments Of The Week At Techdirt (opens the original)
Read excerpt
This week, our first place winner on the insightful side is MrWilson with a comment about the data on improving mental health among teens: But this contradicts my agenda! Can’t you just ignore the facts “for the sake of the children?!?” …and my political and business aspirations? Notice that all the proposed “do something” solutions for mental health issues never involve making the world a better place for teens to grow up in, stopping greedy selfish assholes from running the country, or crackin

This week, our first place winner on the insightful side is Thad with a comment about calls for RFK Jr.’s resignation coming entirely from Democrats: And that’s why trying to distill partisan politics down to just “team blue” vs. “team red” is reductive at best and false equivalence at worst.

In first place, it’s a piece-by-piece response to a commenter who defended ICE’s failed illegal raid on an immigration law office: “Immigration lawyers are aiding abetting criminals.” Yeah, sure. Except, you know, you have to be convicted of a crime for it to be determined if you’re actually a criminal and that requires due process…which includes access to a lawyer. Cite the specific law that demands this.

It’s even more fundamentally wrong to say “Immigration lawyers are aiding abetting criminals.” Because immigration proceedings are civil proceedings. Unless the immigrant has been accused and convicted of another crime, they are not “criminals.” They are civil violators of the law — the same as Trump’s conviction for sexual assault. Unless the original commenter means that Trump is a “criminal” too? Hmmm…
