When are we going to learn more about who was on those tours and who gave them?  Seems like some new info should have already come out (unless I missed it).

There a lot of ‘em but we can keep squishing them down in there.

That was exactly my first thought. Was he ‘on tour’ the day prior?

And who wants to bet that he was one of the friends she gave a tour of the Capitol building to the day before?  (Note: during the pandemic, there were supposed to be NO tours of the building.  They didn’t think to especially single out pre-insurrection plan making tours.)

Down an elevator shaft.

Joe Manchin wants people to suck up to him, and if he acts like he’s not going to go along with what they want unless they do, he gets his way.  That’s what’s wrong with Joe Manchin.

Yup. Even the way his statement was worded was so lacking in affection. He could have described his relationship with a printer with greater warmth. He does not give a shit about her. 

Dude, you had no problem with Dump inciting violence against Asians/Asian Americans when it served your purposes and you have none now. You would stand over your wife’s bullet riddled body and still refuse to enact any kind of sane gun control laws and every single person alive knows it.

I told people from day one that Mitch McConnell was WAY more dangerous and evil than Trump. In a way, I was wrong, because cult, but he definitely is one of the few people I’d feel extremely happy to see move on from this plane.

“As the husband for almost three decades of an Asian-American woman, I have noticed—and we have experienced, over the years—racial prejudice against Asian-Americans,” McConnell said, referring to his wife, former Transportation Secretary Elaine Chao.

It’s “unf---” in the article; the brackets are just meant to indicate the difference from an exact quote.

I think it must have been used in the sense of “fix.” Like, if something is “fucked”, you need to “unfuck” it. I imagine the bros found her troublesome and thought she needed an attitude adjustment from the veterans? (If true, that probably means she was a good cop - which would be the main reason these assholes…

Not stated, but I’m sure true - that leave is paid administrative leave. They aren't using their leave. They're getting paid regular pay to stay home until this blows over and they get desk duty for 2 weeks. 

That really does encapsulate this nonsense. These guys sound like every asshole I knew in high school. And now they’re all “grown up,” but with the same juvenile mentality - plus, now they’ve got badges & guns! What could possibly go wrong?

I think this is just a police union thing. There’s a whole process that has to happen first before they can be fired. Least that’s my understanding of how these things tend to go down.

They don’t have a choice because the police in CA have an enormously powerful union. If they just fire them without going through procedure, the assholes will likely get their jobs back plus money.

Cops are ass shovels (autocorrect did a better insult than me there) but I will also share something I think is related to this. A few months back I read a study saying that online troll behavior was leaking into online remote work spaces, like slack. Remote work sexual harassment incidents were up. The researchers…

In small towns like these, those high school cliques carry over into adulthood on surprisingly hard lines. 

Our evangelicals are also doing this fundamentalist bullshit in Africa as well. I guess they weren’t content with ruining women’s lives at home so they decided to move abroad. They also spread anti gay laws across the world.

sounds like all of the “PrO lIfE” people should move to El Salvador so they can live out their dreams of controlling poor women.
