People have asked this on the parenting subs. General consensus is to bring the baby with you for your summons. Breastfeed right there in the courtroom. Do whatever you need to do to take care of your baby.

Also, answer some of the questions "wrong" in a believable way. Enough wrong to be thrown out as biased, but not enough that it looks like you're trying to be thrown out. Try either being a racist or being very anti-cop/government.

I think the key there is "credible" and who decides what's credible or not. It doesn't need to be a technical crime, but there needs to be a formal investigation to determine if allegations are credible or not.

Well I am just shocked. I am sure nothing like this has ever happened before. 🙄

(When I was young, my dad drank a lot with local cops in central PA. One of them crashed his cruiser on the way home. One of the drinking buddies owned a body shop. They fixed up the cruiser overnight, so the cop was never caught.)

Reply to Accessibility by balou918

It's not something I ever really noticed until I started pushing a stroller around. It really opened my eyes to how terrible the sidewalks are and inaccessibility in general.

Even the cutouts to get up on the sidewalk from the crosswalk---a lot of times the cutouts on either side of the street don't even line up and you have to do this weird maneuver around all the other people. It's insane. I know I only experience a fraction of the inconvenience you do though. I'm sorry you have to deal with it

The thing is that there are a LOT of people who will vote for the Republican candidate no matter who they are or what they stand for. This is the case with all republican family members in both my and my husband's family at least.

The level of fear my in-laws have of democrats in power is astonishing. During the last presidential election, they said they were genuinely afraid that if Biden were elected, they would no longer be allowed to attend church. They're Catholic. Biden is a life long, practicing Catholic. But they thought he and the American government, founded on religious freedom, were literally going to shut down churches. These are well-educated, upper middle class people. And they vote.
