For fuck’s sake. I’m glad my youngest kid (11th grade this year) attends a school system that announced weeks ago that everything would be online, but the superintendent also said “for the first quarter” and that after that they were planning in-school part time. The high school he goes to has FIVE THOUSAND STUDENTS…

Yeah, I’m sure that makes a big difference when they are disappearing and beating Polish LGBTQ activists.

This whole ‘gays are going after children’ narrative is such an example of ‘every accusation is a confession’. Roy Moore is not the only high-profile Republican that had major child-sex pursuit tendencies revealed during campaigns and otherwise. If American airport toilet stalls and Russian back rooms could speak...

The biggest difference is the cops in Poland wear mask unlike US cops.

Honestly, I would argue that tactical vests+cargo pants+pistol on hip does not look like regular people. Less militarized than many of our own police forces, sure. But not regular.

Red state Dems can always be counted on to be accommodationists when it comes to “cutting the government fat” arguments.

The NAACP is now calling on the Waycross Police Department to release body-cam and camera dash footage of the traffic stop, reports the Atlanta Journal Constitution. 

Don’t shoot back at the pigs. It’s the exact reaction they crave to justify their unjustifiable violence.

So, you are avoiding answering the question ... which implies you don’t have an argument which stands up to scrutiny.

The gang responsible for crack is currently lead by Mike Pompeo

The better question is why would you vote for a grown ass adult who hasn’t figured out libertarianism is nothing more than a selfish fantasy.

Then let’s also remember that these enhancements were added to bullshit charges even then or do you not remember the life sentence for something as trifling as stealing a screwdriver, or a pizza or some such low level shit?

That’s not how rabies vaccines work. It’s not one of the mandatory ones, and is only recommended for those who live in areas with a high prevelance of the disease. Furthermore, it’s three shots over the course of a month, and it’s expensive.

The payroll tax cut doesn’t put all that much more money in working people’s pockets, either. It another tax cut for big business and the opening the fascists have been looking for to start tearing down Social Security. Also isn’t the legality of his EO in question as he’s usurping Congress’s authority over spending?

Is this an argument for “protesting the right way”? Because when has that EVER worked?

If you truly remember crack then you should also remember the government’s involvement in importing it into the inner cities at the time.

The problem is that there are dwindling ways to express that without having some ambitious or vindictive prosecutor drumming up charges against you, all in the strategy of costing the protestors’ time and money to defend those charges. Prosecutors know that time and resources are on their side; all they have to do is…

I remember crack as well and I also remember exactly who those “gang” enhancements were targeted toward and it certainly wasn’t toward those who were “importing” the cocaine into the country or anyone who looked like them.

But something tells me that the Utah Hell’s Angels, Sons of Anarchy-types, Cliven Bundy and his crew, Meth & Opioid distributors, militia training campers, Proud Boys and all those types never get the gang enhancement because it wasn’t DESIGNED to remove them from society forever, make money off their free labor, make…

Burn the district court down, fuck their corrupt petty asses.
