This is why it should require more than a GED to become a law enforcement officer. 

News media, GQP, MAGATS - “Major is a bad dog!!!”

I watched all of that bodycam footage yesterday — they showed the footage from all active bodycams — and was appalled at the casual chit-chat between the officers as George Floyd lay dying below Chauvin’s knee. Also appalling was Chauvin’s reply to McMillan when he was chided by McMillan for staying on Floyd’s neck

Everyone there that day (except the murderers) needs a lot of trauma counseling. 

Does this mean the FBI is going after Feminazis and Woke People next? When will the case on the Bowling Green Massacre proceed? Will air quotes count as admissible evidence in these trials?

omfg matthew mcconaughey just go make a cult like jared leto did and leave politics alone.

The remark about breaking up big tech was dumb, but he does have a point re: taxes - Amazon is following the law re: taxes. If anyone is upset about the tax rate, the folks most responsible for it are lawmakers. Same with the minimum wage - if $15 isn’t enough, then it’s on lawmakers to raise it.

I feel sorry for that clerk. I hope that he’s been able to get some help with what has happened. 

This. It’s the media’s incessant need to drive their both-sides narrative, so they are desperate to find any whiff of a scandal and appear non-biased. It’s why not a single reporter asked a single questions in Biden’s first press conference on Covid - they were more interested in pushing the GOP’s narrative on the

Seems like it takes a special kind of awful to demand monetary compensation of that level for taking care of one of your kids that had a massive mental breakdown.

This is a crisis of America’s own making.

Since Biden isn’t blackmailing foreign govts to cheat in the election, or supporting Putin over America, the media needs something. 

“He is the bark of the nation” is excellent, and I am now much pleased.

I keep thinking that we don’t know Major’s past - who his people are, why they surrendered him, if he wasn’t treated well, etc... Poor guy might have some underlying trauma.

The Biden Administration is at least working the problem. This looks and is bad but I have confidence that my government is actually trying to fix it now. We're barely 3 months in, it's going to take time to repair the damage done by 4 years of a completely incompetent racist wannabe President. 

and that repeating “God Bless America” twice instead would be “more poignant than the original and also makes your point in a more elegant way.”

It’s Reviving Ophelia for grown women.

This isn’t exactly a reply to this excellent article—I’m sorry! And also, I love your reporting on the Royals. Equal parts deep fandom and deep distrust (like me!)

I’m so sick of hearing people say Megan is a narcissist.

She is several things.

1. A grown woman.
39 years old. Even 19 year old Diana chafed against the

But come on. Do you know what would happen if we locked up every guy who made love to a sixteen-year-old?”

Reading this take on Amy Fisher made me think about the story of Lorena Bobbitt and how she was demonized by the tabloid press while they gave John Wayne Bobbitt a pass. He got a short adult film career and notoriety out of it. What did Lorena get? Why, a barrage of name-calling and accusations that she “hurt her
