I mean, the best the cops can muster here is that they knocked repeatedly and there was no answer, so they “had to” burst through the door. In other words, the cops admit they broke into the home. Now, they will say “Well, we knocked,” and maybe they did (awfully convenient that they weren’t wearing body cameras) and…

Ok, I’m shocked they didn’t charge Walker with felony murder because the police shot and killed Taylor. That would be standard operating procedure for the Police. Charge him with the felonies of first degree assault and attempted murder of a police officer as well as felony murder for the murder of Taylor that…

Police love to peddle the myth that they’re in some daily life-or-death struggle to keep society safe from the forces of evil, but their actual on-the-job mortality rate is lower than the overall national average. Cop isn’t even in the top ten dangerous jobs.

thats exactly it. these police have set up the system to that they can pretend to be soldiers and pretend they are in call of duty but without any of the actual risks of being a deployed soldier. They want (and have given themselves) immunity over the law because they can claim they were in a life and death situation,…

And conveniently, these cops were not wearing body cams because for some particular reason (thinking emoji) this unit does not. 

I think the emotional support part is what most presidents have dogs for. 

Can we stop with the crappy “joking” assertion that if a somewhat attractive woman has a job above minimum wage she banged her way there? I’m super liberal and hate this administration but as a non-ugly/smart woman I’ve been accused of this myself too many times in my life when I busted my ass and earned what I have.…

Also like an eight year old boy...he often uses it incorrectly.

Even beyond that, institutions elite and mediocre alike are going to be fuming if Chinese nationals are blocked from matriculating or taking post-Doc positions. International students are a key source of money for universities, with students from China constituting a large share. Same with researchers, post-docs, and…

Not only does he likely not know, but I’d wager good money that even when his aides clue him in, the rampart racism would say still result in him saying “Fuck the Chinese.” in so many words.

Trump deleted his tweets about the “Noble” prize, despite defending them as “sarcasm.”

Exactly. I’m 100% certain Tom Cotton has no clue how much damage it would do to our QC research programs to ban Chinese students from participating.

If I may respectfully disagree, I think both 2016 and 2020 show in their own way that our political elite just doesn’t think well, if at all, in probabilistic terms. In essence, 2016 is a case study of how our political media looked at the unappealing specter of a Donald Trump presidency, read statistical analyses…

Maybe in her time away, she’s seen the error of her ways and has returned to help guide him crashing into the wall. She knows he’s bad at press briefings (or really any non-rally situation), so she puts him in them to set him up for failure and embarrassment.

Honestly, I’m guessing that her main job is to just be a soothing presence. Yep, she’s pretty, but she appears to have some skill at easing his stress by doing little things here and there and being available to help him in non-controversial ways. I mean, he doesn’t have many friends (or any?) and if having an…

Yeah, his base is going to vote for him no matter what because (1) they live Trump and (2) they would vote for a pile of rusty tin cans if it had that (R) after its name on the ballot.

Yeah I’m going with she’s got that “Republican pretty” thing going on where she’s vaguely good-looking with ten pounds of makeup slathered on to make her look ten years older than she is

I’ve written on these sites several times about my wife, a nurse, and how the best things I’ve been able to do to support her has been to scour the community begging and pleading for whatever PPE people are willing to donate for her and her team to be safe. Do you know which individuals have, by a ridiculous margin,…

I have never understood how Hope Hicks landed at the White House

In related news, Donald Trump and his campaign are beginning to think that killing people is perhaps not a very good reelection strategy.
