So, they managed to confirm that there was no video evidence of the altercation this quickly, huh?

I don’t know about bigger budget or cast bit, but a continuation of the thread it left off with? Hell yes. Charlize and co were fabulous.

Thank you! The fact that he wasn’t *instantly* hurled off the wing is beyond absurd. A standard load 747 has to be traveling at something like 180mph to get off the ground. That’s over 200 feet per second. Per. Second. 

And they totally pinky swear to not do it again, too.

Yeah, not good enough. They knew what they were doing was both illegal and unconstitutional. All law enforcement agents who did it or was aware of it and did not take actions to stop the practice should be removed from their job.

While I don’t disagree with anything you said, I don’t recall him specifically being party to the actual raid. AFAIK, his only involvement was the getting the warrant issued on false pretenses. Which should be a federal crime, but apparently isn’t, and that would made him ineligible for any role in law enforcement…

Either he fucked up intentionally and somebody died, or he fucked up accidentally and somebody died. In either case, his fuck up resulted in someone dying. That death is his responsibility. He has no business being a cop. And considering that we can’t determine if his fuck up was accidental or intentional, he most…

They didn’t care back then either. They just hadn’t move the ball this far down the field. That takes time. Just like you don’t build a city overnight, you don’t build an empire in one night either. They had regulators to buy, politicians to pay off, elections to subvert, etc, etc. All done at a speed so that, like…

It is my hope that one day in the semi-near future, bio-sciences will have reached the point where we can direct our body’s chemical signaling system. And it won’t be done by trying to overwhelm or trick the body’s natural signaling processes, but by taking a direct control of them. You’d be able to tell your body to…

Once again demonstrating that corporations “Give a fuck” meter is purely performance art — absolutely no fucks are actually given, whatsoever. And don’t act shocked. These billionaires, their corporate empires, and their armies of sycophants, got to where they are specifically because they don’t give a fuck.

Conservatives are once against demonstrating just how ignorant and worse-than-useless they are. I’d like to open a portal to the reality you seem to think you occupy, so that you and your reality can finally meet, but magic, like your God, doesn’t exist, despite your fervent assertions to the contrary.

Which is why it was only two years. FB can’t help but get in on his next campaign of disinformation warfare against the American people. Because money.

We’ve long since crossed the threshold where that was capable of controlling them. The echo chamber is too overpowering to mute these insane, spineless shitheels. They’ve achieved critical mass (but not critical thinking).

“...no critical thinking exists at all.”

With literally multiple dozens of use-of-force violations and complaints against him. He was an *UNTRIED* criminal because other police wouldn’t charge him. He should have been behind bars YEARS ago, but we have the judicial and law ‘enforcement’ system equivalents to wolves guarding the sheep.

The problem is that you can’t definitively trace hacks back to an individual. Only to systems involved in the hack. And even then, the accuracy of the systems to which a hack gets tracked is never 100% certain either — you’d have to go over every chip and line of code in every system with a fine-tooth comb to be sure…

In order to change the priorities of corporate culture, you have to change the priorities of the people *IN CHARGE* of that corporate culture. And their priorities are still profits first. Because ‘profits’ are the only thing they’re trained to care about, and their ‘training’ is almost exclusively about ways of…

It’s because they don’t own any portion of the production pipeline. They don’t own the land. They don’t own the mining, extraction, or machinery. They don’t own manufacturing. They don’t own the shipping. And now that the world has really started pivoting away from oil, it’s too late too get in on the ground floor and…

There are no ursine species not capable of utterly demolishing the average human (and even above-average ones). The reality here is that this woman’s family came to within a hair’s breadth of having to plan her funeral instead of just burying family pets. One wrong move, one misstep, and that bear would have turned…

Babies aren’t born racist. This is true. Babies aren’t racist. This is also true. Children, on the other hand, have had time to be taught to be racist by their racist parents and their racist society. And, by some strange coincidence, Critical Race Theory is being taught to children -- not babies -- so that they will…
