Sometimes it’s easy to forget that the Democratic party of yesteryear *WAS* the super-racist party. At least until they do shit like that. Of course, the party stopped being racist enough for super-racists party members, so they broke off to form the GOP and took over the Republican party. The result: the Racist party…

The Square Enix was an inevitable train wreck from the moment the Square and Enix merged. It was a doomed effort from the start because of how the merger went down, specifically the execs who remained with the company. When a company is having problems, the most likely cause is the *execs*, so keeping them on is like…

The thing about making a deal with the Devil, Mr. Roberts, is that the Devil *ALWAYS* collects.

It’s a bit like building the roof while the foundation is still being drawn up.

...and to add insult to injury, somehow achieve even the slightest measure of success despite it.

And is the judge prescribing the same ‘prudence’ to his *OWN* political affiliations?? You know, impartiality and all that.

Don’t worry. I’m sure he’ll be assigned mandatory insensitivity training before being put back on the job somewhere nearby. Wouldn’t want to greatly inconvenience a fellow ‘officer of the law’ or anything. The Police Union will see to it personally. Have to keep those union dues flowing.

My friends’ orange tabby — who is often called Bot (take a guess what I say it stands for) — is definitely the friendliest and most vocal cat I’ve ever met. He’ll stop *eating* just to get some attention. And if he wants something, he let’s everyone in the whole house know it (usually he wants to go play outside).

That’s the nature of systemic racism, like in the US — it’s so intrusive, so invasive and somehow so invisible to those who aren’t being victimized by it, that the people *perpetuating* that system can’t even see the harm they’re doing, that they’re part of the problem.

You’d think it’d be hard for Americans to turn a blind eye to this hypocrisy, but those are two things that the collective America really excels at — hypocrisy and turning a blind eye.

It’s about bodily autonomy — the right to dictate what happens to and with your body. All of your body. If medical professionals cannot demand that you surrender organs, blood, or tissue without your consent — not even if you’re dead, not even if it will save lives — why do fetuses magically nullify all of that? After…

Frankly, police-involved shootings should be one-and-done affairs. It doesn’t matter why cops fire their weapons. That should be the end of their career in law enforcement. No ifs, ands, or buts. Using lethal force is supposed to be an option of last resort. If it’ll permanently cost your job and your career, you’re…

It’s almost as if bad management doesn’t produce good results...

“He must have been guilty of something. Why else would he run?” — Cop apologists.

The Department of Education exists to mandate and ensure compliance with minimum standards of education throughout the US. One of those ‘minimum standards’ interferes with religious ‘education’ as demanded by conservatives like DeVos. So of course she wants to get rid of the Department of Education. It’s been a thorn…

A leopard doesn’t change its spots, just like John Riccitiello will always be a shitty person. It’s who and what he is to his core.

Cruelty *IS* the point.

“Protections for me, laws for thee.” -- Conservative America in a nutshell.

Agreed. Trump’s action might have been a bridge too far for Liz, but she still supported a lot of what he said and did and the GOP’s agenda as a whole. She’s merely the least awful of a horrifically terrible political party. She’s only ‘good’ when compared to the worst this country has to offer.

There was a nice line that I’m going to paraphrase that ‘describes’ this situation — the turd won’t flush itself.
