A second-grade teacher who was arrested in California for being drunk in class is no longer facing charges — because prosecutors concluded “it is not illegal to teach drunk.”

A drunken teacher from "Sac"==the teachers unions are probably the strongest right there near the State Capitol.

Being drunk at work isn't normally a criminal matter anywhere.  It's usually sufficient grounds to be  immediately fired for cause, union or not.

The story says they couldn't find out what disciplinary action was taken by the school, but it seems she no longer works there.

I once had one routinely greeting his clients with "Hello and good day, Mr. ... - what can I offer you: Water? Coffee? Schnaps?"

And it's kinda true, these are the three most appropriate drinks when you seek counsel, depending on how deep in trouble you believe yourself to be in.

Lol

Plus it helps the client be more honest.

I read an interview with a Las Vegas attorney who represented bot politicians and mafia members. He said the latter were always honest with him.

The former have no concept of honesty.

I'll put this here since it predates Biden and Trump;

My interest in this questionnaire quickly became professional rather than political. I’ve been a professional statistician as part of my work-life, and I’ve written questionnaires, so I know something about their design and usage. Everything about this seemed drawn from a Monty Python sketch. First, no one who cares about the results, assigns a questionnaire, on which someone’s future career hangs, and instructs them to fill it out at their leisure in private. Why would a test taker not lie or cheat given the importance placed on the questionnaire? That was head-shaker number one.

Before Cox allegedly exposed his genitals to children in Arlington County, Cox was charged with indecent exposure for allegedly exposing himself in a Planet Fitness women’s locker room on June 10, 2024, in Fairfax County. The charge was dismissed.

In January, 7News emailed Fairfax County Commonwealth’s Attorney Steve Descano’s office and asked why this charge was dropped. Descano still has not responded to that question.

Descano is a "Soros prosecutor" who favors criminals over victims, especially if it is a child molestation case.

Total LARP flow.

And everybody does the finger thing because they saw it on COD and not from training.

Bragg is back! I just signed a memorandum reversing the naming of Fort Liberty back to Fort Bragg.

General Bragg widely considered one of the worst confederate commanders. I'm all for renaming forts that were named after confederate officers.

Maybe both sides could agree to quit naming ships after politicians. No USS Obama, Trump or Milk.

Always have a USS Enterprise in service or building

The law passed that created the renaming committee specifically stated bases couldn't be named after Confederates.  Using Roland L. Bragg as the namesake is a workaround that lets them have the name some always wanted.  Frankly, more of a disservice to this soldier's memory than an honor.  Even in that clip above Hegseth specifically said "Fort Bragg is back" not "Fort Roland L. Bragg is here".

Then Fort Lee can just be renamed after Light-Horse Harry Lee. Certainly not a Confederate soldier, but it'll stay in the family.

As for Fort Hood (today Fort Cavazos), well John Hood was in practical terms more of a Union asset than a Confederate one, but otherwise I suppose they can probably find someone more worthy with the name Hood, or maybe they could instead honor Audie Murphy, or Alvin York, for that matter.

Not to denigrate Gen Cavazos, who was by all acounts a fine and brave officer, but he got the honor of having the previous Fort Hood named after him (as well Biden's elevation of his DSC into the Medal of Honor a few months before that to improve the optics) mainly for ticking the diversity box of being the first Hispanic four star.
