Thunder: this is the aspect for focus. Who was the handcuffed white dude? If he was the caller, WHY was he still being aggressive when the police were there and Black dudes were on the ground? If he WASN’T the 911-caller, and was aggressively protesting the police mistreatment of the Black dudes, he needs to come…

I used to work at a very famous grocery store in the pharmacy at the time. I bought razors and some other items and was leaving and got stopped by security and taken to the office and they asked to see my bag and asked if I had a receipt....which I promptly pulled out of my purse and shoved in his face. He looked at…

You might want to recalibrate your sarcasm detector.

Hours of police time wasted on this because the cops literally had nothing better to do than harass three Black men and they have to justify their existence somehow.

“I mean, I am reading off of the script my union rep gave me.”

Miller insisted that his comment wasn’t racist and was intended to comment about the “socio-economic issues existing in American inner cities” that drive crime, according to internal investigation documents.

This is what I’ve argued. You don’t want to increase taxes on the wealthy and corporations so that we can boost the middle class again, which in turn led to a Baby Boom? Well, pretty much your only other option is to allow more immigrants.

You want more cogs? Allow more immigrants and grant them paths to citizenship. BOOM. Problem solved.

Cosign. I always shake my head at the handwringing over birth rates going down. We can’t even take care of the already born! Why do there need to be even more babies? They running low over at the Soylent factory?

I’m guessing the overlap between people who think Africa is a country, people who think Europe is a country, and people who seriously wonder aloud why there’s no White History Month is a perfect circle.

Seriously. While the continent was not divided into the countries we know today, it did have various states that the European traders worked with in the 16th and 17th centuries. Most of these just did not survive European “colonization”.

“So here’s the great big country of Africa.”

When the Republican leaders in Texas tells people that they should just die in support of small government, you really have to question the intelligence of anyone who votes for them.

I was talking more about the problems the state is having now because of the lack of action they have taken over the last 40+ years in the name of deregulation, small government, low taxes, and privatization.  This weather was unforeseen, but people have been cautioning Texas to get their energy grid in better shape…

Do you honestly think this will hurt Cruz? Texas has been re-electing this clown over and over again.

Beto’s been out there helping folks apparently.  

That video’s from 2016, so she’s, like, 8 (you can see that she’s being carried). Personally, that makes it even funnier to me; little kids don’t give a fuck about embarrassing you in public, attempts to cosplay as a family man for the camera be damned.

You want to know who’s gonna pay to fix their grid?

Yeah, for the price of a cancelled plane ticket (for a trip that, as others have pointed out, they probably shouldn’t have been taking in the middle of a pandemic anyway, but never mind that) he could have stayed home and at least put on a show of doing something for his constituents in their time of need—with the…

Then you just leave and wait for the feds to fix it while you’re gone. Then you say you didn’t see any feds here fixing shit, we did it ourselves, and keep going.
