When this particular murderer gets probation or community service for 6 months or whatever, my mind will break if there’s a similar outpouring of sympathy for the murderer from the judge and the victim’s family.

Brodd started a consultant firm after a career in law enforcement, and was the same use of force expert who argued that the use of force in the shooting of Laquan McDonald was justified.

Europeans started looking for slaves because the economic conditions that made the indentured servants in use in the British Empire (which included the colonies) so prevalent, were going away. People were overcoming their problems and not facing the problems of debt that forced them to sell themselves into these…

Maryland’s new laws doing away with a special bill of rights for police officers is a promising first step, and of course it was already met with them whining at the smallest bit of actual accountability to the public.

This is exactly why police unions and pension funds need to take the hit on settlements. Officer Roid Rage is clearly leading the aggression, and the other one on camera looks afraid to challenge him or de-escalate.

He thinks it makes him look more relatable and less buttoned up in spite of his staunchly conservative and unrelatable (to middle and working class people) policies. Which shows how much time he’s spent around middle and working class people, because a rich and connected person is the only one who could get away with…

My money’s on the same guy who keeps killing the world’s oldest people. I hear he goes by Father Time, and no one’s managed to stop him yet.

Enabling dickbag fathers and a notable lack of consequences for bad actions seem to be common denominators for Gaetz and Trump. As much as it pains me to say though, Trump has had years to manufacture a certain charisma that I don’t think Matt has developed yet. I don’t think he has the same odds.

I’ve always suspected him as the human answer to the question “what would Butthead look like if he got the braces off, put on a suit and had an enabling father who bankrolled his political career?”

Team no one, since Cheney and her immortal goblin father are really difficult to cheer for. But this seems plausible, and would be a good lesson for Gaetz on knowing the limits of your own political power. 

His buddy probably told him he’d make a call to Tim Apple and have it all taken care of. 

It’s the over the top displays that make it terrible. Cupcakes with some strategically placed food coloring or sprinkles? Probably not going to do too much damage. Pyrotechnics and aerial displays is where things seem to get deadly for no real reason.

This is obviously secondary, but he appears to have aged 10 years in less than 4 going by that photo.

It worked for the piece of shit who killed Eric Garner, so they have to try it.

Harry announces that the woman he loves is half Black, marries her and tells people who have an issue with it to essentially piss off and that the problem is their racism, not his wife’s race.

He also has an illegitimate (for the purposes of any titles or succession) son with a Black woman from before his marriage to Charlene, so make of that what you will.

Nah, the fix is in somewhere. Northwestern - a nationally recognized (for doing good medical work, not for grifting) hospital with a trauma center and multiple specialists is a little over 0.5 mile away from Trump’s Chicago property and takes about 5 minutes to get to from the building in the event of an emergency.…

I always have to scroll fast past his picture to stop myself from punching the computer. I know they say not to judge a book by its cover, but the first time I saw his face I just thought “that guy’s an asshole” and he’s done nothing to prove that first impression wrong.

I’d like to see how that attitude holds if George takes an interest in his Black friend’s Black granddaughter, niece or relative if they should happen to hit it off at a charity event 20 years in the future.

for a person who could have gotten away with cutting ribbons 7 days a week, he has a pretty good CV.
