In this country? If that person is white and wealthy enough to be a senator, then odds are pretty good he or she is a racist, whether they’re willing to acknowledge it. And if you vote for or work with the GOP, then it’s pretty much a foregone conclusion.

Don’t forget they actively blocked having a committee look into it, too.

I will say this: despite the unfortunate path that brought her here, the style she’s rockin’ in the opening image is fabulous. Got a ‘Dominique Tipper in The Expanse’ kind of vibe going. 

In West Virginia, the difference between most Democrats and all Republicans is not about the party’s goals and ideology, but just how bat-shit crazy they are in public about them. In his search for a ‘good’ Republican, even Joe wouldn’t qualify as one. They went extinct almost half a century ago. Mitch McConnell the…

Because passing laws that make being racist illegal has had such success curbing racism in America over the last century. Not that I’m saying this shouldn’t be done, but ‘legalities’ didn’t stop a single KKK lynching. It didn’t stop the Tusla massacre. If there’s no measure of enforcement, no consequences for being…

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

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…

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.

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.

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…

I’m shocked that totally-not-racist Americans would deface a gallery that confirms how totally-not-racist America is.

Education is an investment that pays dividends and always has. Like investing in infrastructure. These aren’t things the public should be paying for directly. They’re things that society, as a whole, should be investing in for the benefit of society. Like medical care, emergency services, and so forth.

Don’t forget that Republicans have pulled similar stunts in other states, too. They’ve walked out on bill votes because they weren’t getting their way. They’re hypocrites, plain and simple.

Doesn’t matter. GOPeons will never rejoin reality. Anything ‘their team’ does is perfectly reasonable and justifiable. Anything ‘not their team’ does is egregious, wrong, and inexcusable. Even when it’s literally the same damn thing. And more often, when ‘their team’ does even worse, but it’s still seen as reasonable…

Except that the wealthiest and most powerful members of most societies tend to *ALSO* be elderly -- they’ve had a lifetime to amass said wealth and power. They’re also not the kinds of people who would set about to create a weapon that can easily be used against themselves.

Make no mistake: in the Republican’s Great America, only rich white men have the right to vote. It’s how America started, and it’s the only reality they are willing to accept now.

Because half a million Americans dying just wasn’t enough, let’s lie about being vaccinated so another half a million more Americans can die, too. All will be sacrificed on the altar of Great America.
