OMG, how glorious would it be if tens of thousands of people ordered pacifiers and sent them to the White House?

Yeah, I get that. And I’m not naive enough to think that racism here in the northeast is really and different than all of the racism in the ol’ confederacy.
But I still reserve the right to dislike them a whole lot. :)

I’m a NorthEastern white guy. I’ve always disliked “the south” but I’ve always put a little asterisk next to it in my mind to remind myself that I’m sure there are plenty of good, nice people in the South who AREN’T horrible racists.

But now, in the age of social media, when we get to actually see the day-to-day,…

You are correct that evidence from Dassey’s trial wasn’t introduced to Avery’s trial. But the prosecution’s presentation of the case, ie, what they say Avery DID to Halbach, is taken from the Dassey confession, which was all over the local and regional news at the time. That’s the story that everyone knew. Avery…

I don’t know, the forensic pathologist person in the trial testified that the evidence pointed to the body being dismembered and burned at a quarry some miles away from the Avery’s, then transported back to the Avery’s in one of their barrels and dumped in their fire pit.

And the keys didn’t show up in searches of his…

Agreed. The entire concept of the case, that Avery, and his nephew, kidnapped, raped, tortured and killed that poor girl, in the bedroom of his trailer, was ALL predicated on Dassey’s coerced, clearly-bullshit ‘confession’.
And stabbing someone then shooting them in the head causes a lot of blood spray, none of which…

Wait, so ... huh. Is he trying to say he used the swastika because the Steelers were somehow acting like enemies of america (you know, like Nazis), or he used it because .... ‘murica? Or something?

There are just like, 10 missing stops in that train of thought .....

No, no. It’s Pittsburgh, Philadelphia and KENTUCKY in between. That’s how we get Pennsyltucky. (full disclosure, I’ve lived most of my life in the ‘in between’ parts. And yes, full of low-key to hardcore racists.)

All the Stars for Parks and Rec reference. :D

All the stars. :)

Not exactly. In theory, a presidential or gubernatorial pardon restores a person’s innocence, “as though they had never committed the crime”. So criminal records searches don’t return your name. On job applications you don’t have to declare that you were convicted of a crime, fines you’ve paid may be returned to…

Valid.

Re: Pat Fallon’s tweet:

That’s just fucking stupid. Anything that stops any movement is therefore, in your view, the same as what Nazi’s did.

There have been a couple of crimes that looked like hate crimes but were actually committed by someone for some other reason.

But Gorkey’s statement is still stupid, misleading and evasive. The direct meaning of his statement is that if the crime was committed by someone on the right it’s terrorism but if it was…

ha HA! :*D

10/10 would buy!

I’m a WhiteGuy and I can’t friggin wait to see this! This just sounds great! (And I will absolutely NOT watch the stupid and hurtful OhHowIWishtheConfederatesHadWon show).

You know, I was just talking about this last night. One of the news shows was speculating that Nazi Keebler could be moved to DHS, and said that the current rules are that, since he was already confirmed by the Senate, he could serve there for 6 months without needing reconfirmation. And then Cheetolini could…

oh.my.GOD! I WANT THE BUFFALO SOLDIERS SHOW!!! MAKEITMAKEITMAKEITMAKEITNOW!!!!!
