A more thorough explanation:

FORUM REI SITAE

Forum rei sitae is a Latin term that refers to a court where a dispute over a specific thing or subject matter is located. It is considered as a place of jurisdiction where legal proceedings can take place.

For example, if there is a dispute over a piece of land, the forum rei sitae would be the court located in the same jurisdiction as the land. Similarly, if there is a dispute over a contract, the forum rei sitae would be the court located in the same jurisdiction as the contract.

Another example would be if a person is injured in a car accident in a different state than where they live. The forum rei sitae would be the court located in the state where the accident occurred, as that is where the subject matter of the dispute (the accident) is situated.

These examples illustrate how the forum rei sitae is determined by the location of the subject matter in dispute. It is important to determine the correct forum rei sitae in order to ensure that legal proceedings take place in the appropriate jurisdiction.

It's all expected, and it's like if its predictable, how can I blame some idiot for marching on the capital. I mean, I almost went to that event.

I don’t think bashing dkk’s view is the right answer here. He’s an example of how dem messaging failed. Dems wanted to create a platform that represented minority groups (poc, lgbtq) while also benefiting the majority through housing plans, tax cuts on the middle class, and tax increases for the rich. For some reason, I think the messaging came off that the dem platform was focused only on the underrepresented groups.

@ImpartialLion: I'm not bashing his view with regard to that the Dem's platform looked focused on the minority. My point is that Trump has zero respect for institutions, political norms, and the Constitution.

texaslawhopefully

All of which Trump has openly said

Looking forward, dems gotta improve the messaging. I think bernie did a good job of that by making the focus “the working class,” which goes beyond race or gender.

@texaslawhopefully: i dont disagree with those statements. I just think we have a lot to learn going into next election

I mean my hope is the GOP gets wiped out in the midterms and has to recentralize its message

Dkk

I would say Texas is pretty nice here. I do think you got the right idea there though @impartialLion and maybe people can apply that to the broader context of why when someone just starts mischaracterizing me as a racist, homophobic, fatphobic, ableist for multiple days, I might just give up and start cussing at em lol. I mean, if someone did that to me in a bar I would get violent and I have been violent in the past with people. Being in bar fights is like an awesome experience and everyone should do it at least once.

I try not to be violent these days cus every time I do assault someone or shove glass in someones face I clould go to jail but usually people are cool about it.

@texaslawhopefully: Yeah, I mean it could happen to the senate and house like it did to Obama but if he keeps his overall approval rating up, even if someone does not like individual policies it's compromise: https://www.newsweek.com/donald-trumps-approval-ratings-break-records-democrats-back-him-2018900

@Dkk: Fair. My guess is (if the DNC is smart) dems change there messaging to be more appealing to moderates, they start winning and they hopefully that encourages republicans to move back to the center.

Dkk

18:47

Yeah, exactly.
