I’m wagering the reason why he finally gave in and let a few people in was in the hope that he could dig into any of the recovery funds that will be flowing at some point in the future.

Short of deprogramming, I don’t see it happening to many of them.

It also gives him an excuse for digging into any relief monies that are handed out once the flooding recedes.

These are people that still don’t understand the ‘Streisand effect’.

Whether some people believe it or not, Trump sees himself as a dictator, and can’t understand why people don’t just do the things he demands. With his Svegali Bannon whispering in his ear, he’ll do anything and everything he can to tear the nation apart (all while finding new and interesting ways to funnel money from…

Not only that, but I would argue that the federal government did our nation a disservice by not trying (and if necessary, executing) the ringleaders of the CSA. If nothing else, it would have shown the fruits of what happens when you engage in outright treason against you mother country.

The city has been trying (and passed a resolution to remove the statue), but it is presently tied up in court. Until the court case is settled, the statue will stay where it is.

Whatever, ITG. I live here, I know the scene, and I know many of the cops. I also support BLM and consider myself pretty damn liberal.

Do you live here? No? I do.

How can they believe that he was scared when he did it? People who were there stated that he ran into people, backed up, and then plowed through them again.

I hope the parents of the deceased woman sue the city to bankruptcy for her wrongful death. This was completely avoidable.

When you have to lower yourself to using childish insults to get your point across, then you already lost the argument.

I keep saying that the best way for Dems to win against the bullshit that the Right keeps throwing about being so cool with abortion? They need to explain that while abortion needs to continue to be safe and legal, they will do everything they can when in office to push legislation that will help to keep them from…

You want to attack my value system? Go nuts. My value system is how I choose to vote year in and year out. I’m sorry that I’m not a mindless automaton who voted “D” for every election, but if the price to pay for a better country is the vapid scorn of inconsistent voters like you, then that’s a price I’ll gladly…

I’m actually going to flip the bird to anyone that says they voted 3rd party if the AHCA somehow actually gets signed into law. And then laugh in their faces when they finally realize that they’re just as fucked as everyone else when they can’t afford to see a doctor anymore.

That’s not a counterproposal, that’s a list of things that are expected to be done with no negotiation over it. Those are the types of things that someone who is trying to bust a union does (and that is exactly what the new owner is trying to do).

Who puked on that car?

I will agree with that. Decent IPA’s all have their own little flavor quirks, while many of the others make you wonder “Did I just drink a beer or degreaser?”

Hell, the Fox & Friends crew actually made the ‘argument’ that health care coverage is a luxury for those with pre-existing conditions, and that it’s a cost that is ‘too much for the US to have to pay for anymore’.

Yeah, pretty much.
