“Politico reports that the man was not charged with any misdemeanors”

I’ll *guarantee* most suburban MAGAts read that as: “wait, if I make $100k a year I can retire with $10m? TRUUUUUMP!”

While I would like to agree with you, this is the man who mocked and bullied a disabled reporter on television and his base cheered him for it.  I doubt him calling Kamala Harris a bitch is going to result in his shunning

That....didn’t work for Hillary. 

“Creating a problem and then profiting from the solution is a core GOP value.”

Also, as much as people bring up Kamala’s history as a prosecutor or “cop” as a negative, I think her experience there would be the very thing that would destroy him in a debate (if it even gets that far).

“Shit, it's Debo. Hide your chains!"

Chaos economics is the way to sweet privatization. Screw up a service so bad and then make case that the only way to make it work is to sell it off (selling if off to connected cronies). GOP donors are waiting in the wings to cash in on the privatization.

The air traffic controllers and their union went on strike during Reagan’s presidency. Like 95% of them were fired and banned from ever working for the government again, the union was decertified by the government, and I believe a few of them even went to jail. 

air traffic controllers just need to step out on day one

I believe I read something along the lines of his teleprompter said “talk about the wall” and he just went for it.

Man what a Friday:

...also went on a tangent about human trafficking and women being bound with tape over their mouths getting smuggled into the United States...

I feel like this shutdown proved how essential government is... and that we need better people running it.

So for future reference when the dipshits in charge decide they want to have a pissing match using real peoples’ foreheads as their targets, air traffic controllers just need to step out on day one along with the IRS.

FINALLY.

State law in Florida is that parking illegally in a handicapped space should result in a $500 fine. And responsible disability advocates do things like create and use this app for reporting illegal parking to fine people who break that law: http://www.tbo.com/news/politics/app-targets-illegal-parking-in-handicapped-spa…

Talking back to a cop is not an artestable offense. Sandra Bland should have been ticketed at most but not arrested. That cop was already looking to use violence when he threatened to “light her up” when she didn’t put out her cigarette.

Someone please, please tell me there is recourse when the sheriff refuses to arrest someone. This is not his call to make. There has to be some justice here because this is not acceptable. And anyone who would shoot another man over a parking space is a danger to the public and especially to black people.
