Pretty staggering to see how many Americans would rather be poor and able to be openly racist, as opposed to having better economic opportunities at the cost of being more accepting of others.

The innocence project has exonerated 343 people convicted of capital crimes including 20 sitting on death row. Not to even go into how disproportionately the death penalty is applied to minorities given similar facts.

The reason to oppose the death penalty has nothing to do with the people who deserve it. It has to do with the people who don’t. We execute innocent people sometimes. It’s that fucking cut and dried. If you are for the death penalty, you are okay with the state occasionally getting it wrong and murdering innocent…

i would assume the murder rates would significantly reduce if people knew it would also cost them their lives

In 8th grade the other students voted me most likely to become a serial killer. Who’s laughing now?

“It was a joke” now means “I was mocking you and you called me on it.”

Can you imagine if Trump was President during WWII?

No such luck for Pence. He was there for ALL of the Flynn conversations and knew all about the ties to Russia.

It’ll be the first negative consequence he’s faced in his life! Although he’ll never view it that way - it’ll be a “witchhunt” or people lying or being unfair to him or whatever.

I don’t see that happening until Congress converts back into a “check and balance” rather than an “enabler and firewall,” unfortunately.

“Surely those vultures who survive on eating the remains of discarded carcasses wouldn’t eat THOSE discarded carcasses.”

Steve Bannon is registered to vote in two states. So is Tiffany Trump. By the letter of the law that is voter fraud. Do you think this is the sort of thing he’s looking for?

They already did find instances of voting fraud — by 45's voters, in fact. One woman — if I remember correctly — was already identified, and charged, shortly after the election. Several of 45's campaign people were actually registered to vote in more than one state even.

What do you think will happen if they find even one incident of voter fraud?

They did find an instance of voter fraud during the election.

It is also worth noting that U.S. media was not allowed into the meeting, whilst Russian media was.

FTFY!

Here is a fact that Fusion/Gawker won’t tell you:

He’s probably Trump’s handler for the Russians and is currently giving him instructions for how to deal with this.

It is also worth noting that Lavrov is named in the Russian dossier the FBI is (was?) investigating, as someone who was actively involved :) Page 28.
