Now I want a hot pocket...thanks Obama...

And some mechanism to prevent them from just going to another city or another state and becoming a cop again there.

The healing power of essential oils.

It’s clear that police have no plans to stop shooting Black people—and despite all the well-meaning speeches and statements made by politicians this year, cops will continue taking our lives as long as they face no material consequences for doing so.

I ain’t buying shit. Fuck this country and its shitty economy. It depends on us to spend but won’t make sure we have money to do so? Maybe those rich fucks who hoard (or is it whored) their money can prop up the country’s economy.

The US has a long slog to restore its prestige with the world. Putting DJReject and kids in prison could work in our favor by proving to the world that we aren’t a bunch of whining idiots who let other whining idiots shit all over our democracy.

The Secret Service dragging him out of the White House in cuffs while he raves about unhinged conspiracies in his underwear would be an epic end to this shitshow.

So do their Black gatekeepers.

And next time they could be a competent tyrant. We got lucky with Trump; we got lucky he was such an incompetent mess, and surrounded himself with other incompetent messes. It could have been a hell of a lot worse. Next time it might be.

Again, I am saying that you are pushing Republican phrasing and doing their job of burying the actual topic of discussion by spending more time talking about the slogan than you know, ignoring the slogan non-issue and doing the smart thing which is to turn the conversation back to police violence and abuse.

This right here 

They absolutely refuse to even see that by taking up Republican phrasing and spending all this time complaining about the fucking slogan that they’re helping the Republicans deflect from the discussion of police brutality.

I didn’t say you didn’t support police reform, I said that you’re so fucking busy bitching about the fucking slogan that you’re not actually talking about it. Every time you complain about the slogan you’re doing the Republicans job for them because they don’t want to talk about it (which is why they bitch about the…

The really frustrating part is its our “allies” are not arguing in good faith. The people turned off by Black Lives Matter, Defund The Police, etc., -aren’t going to be swayed by words in the first place.- We just have to do it despite their whinging.

It looks like there’s a large number of Dems who are not at all interested in making progressive progress and are looking for all kinds of excuses as to why the are sabotaging things they claim to champion. I don’t know why else you would have all these Dems concern trolling about the damn slogan when the actual…

What you missed is the fact that it doesn’t matter what we say or how we say it they will always have a problem with what we’re saying. Given that the electorate itself clearly knows what is meant by Defund the police, there is no actual reason for politicians to run from it other than to placate entrenched interests…

“Perhaps, instead of blaming the incompetence of the party on a fictional antagonist, perhaps the Democratic leadership should embrace these verifiably popular progressive ideas. Maybe they would win if they pushed for universal healthcare, student debt relief and income equality. Instead of chasing white moderates…

She’s flossing at 70 and bringing me up close and personal with the mediocrity of my humanity...

In fact she got a doctorate, and is waiting for someone to say she shouldn’t use the title of Dr.

Me (after Dec. 21) when I find out I could have been buying a comparable, less-expensive chartreuse alternative for my cocktails instead of the $60 bottle I usually get from the liquor store.
