Considering the brazen racism in some of the ‘projects’ teachers have given students in GOP states — for those of you who have been paying attention — I’m not sure ‘competence’ should be assumed. After all, many of them are STILL trying to teach (and often are teaching) Creationism in the classroom.

Exactly. This lawyer is dishonestly attempting to smear another person’s actions for the purposes of overturning the legitimate sentence of a killer cop. He should be disbarred....or have the legal statute of being an accomplice after the fact applied to *him* as well. Maybe that’d scare a few corrupt lawyers back…

The lawyer(s) responsible for prolonging this farce should also be disbarred. The jury ruled. There was no evidence of jury ‘prejudice’ on which to base this claim...other than the fact that they were shown video evidence of Chauvin torturing and murdering a man in cold blood while wearing a badge. And that’s not…

And I’m sure they’ll all be removed from duty and ultimately fired for it. All those ‘good cops’ I keep hearing about will do the right thing, after all. Yup...any day now....

Shitty person, incapable of realizing he’s a shitty person, continues being a shitty person. So, how ‘bout a clean up on aisle You. The rest of us would like to be rid of your filth.

No one stole your exceptionalism, America, you traded it for whiteness. So fear not, your country isn’t broken. You designed it this way.

No kidding. You don’t release someone on bond after shooting at a child. Such a person is CLEARLY not mentally stable and is CLEARLY a danger to the public. You keep that person in lockup until trial. To protect the public. People don’t ‘deserve’ to be released on bond. The nature of the crime determines whether…

Architect of ‘Trickle Down’ Economics one of the biggest and most destructive lies pushed onto society in the last century. Trickle-Down Economics is and always will be a lie. That’s not how economics works, and it’s not how human behavior works.

90% of CEOs could be *removed* entirely from the economy and most companies would be just fine. They represent an entrenched mentality about ‘how things are supposed to be done’ that’s older than the US, a mentality that is completely out of touch with reality.

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.
