Karl is a great choice! Now they need to bring back Dredd....

I think it comes down to that in tech, your bosses cannot imagine making a stupid mistake like that and believe (correctly) that only gross incompetence could cause someone to do that. So they don’t tolerate it. I’m pretty sure that every one of these police chiefs who hire guys like this look at the situation and go,…

In fairness, significant portions of the law enforcement community (and their enablers) don’t see that so much as a “fuck up” but rather a reasonable error rate.

“Common psychiatric drugs and marijuana are causing psychotic breaks that lead to these shootings...”

Yep, GOP has a similar problem but the reason they don’t punch themselves in the dick constantly is because they fall in line behind whatever makes it to the top.

When the GOP gets fringe, far-right morons like that Taylor Greene clown, they may put up a show of feigned indignation, but they accept them and back them up every time.

The current Democratic party fills the void left by the 1980s GOP.

The Democratic Party is essentially a light conservative party by international standards, only really treated as “left” because of the dramatic shifts in the Overton Window by the increasingly far-right Republican Party, which, at this point, has abandoned any interest in “democracy” by ANY standard, as the past…

But you continue to support them. Go figure. What’s that saying about the definition of insanity?

“If it takes a splinter organization like the DSA to actually advocate for a liberal/left agenda, then what the fuck is the Democratic party?”

The Democratic Party is the “our one-pecenters are the good ones” party. Now eat your scraps and embrace your multi-millionaire leaders like a good little follower, basking in the warming glow of their celebrity supporters.  This is fine.

Hey, now, we’re not supposed to talk about how third-way centrism is a massive failure and antithetical to real progress, because that’s what’s going to get trump (re)elected (as opposed to people being frustrated with said lack of real progress).

The Democratic Party is a moderate conservative party that tends to be more liberal on most social issues that owned by the same corporations and donors as the Republicans. They are where the liberal Republicans in the 80s were under Reagan in the 1980s.

The issue with a two party system is that both parties are a weird amalgamation of at least three major wings. At this point it’s pretty clear there are at least four parties in the US. There’s a soc-dem left party, a large liberal centre-right party, or maybe two, made up of centrist dems and republicans and a…

I'm just glad people are starting to notice.

Oh, they believe in democracy. They just don’t believe in equality. It might seem a minor quibble, but it’s the only thing separating many Democrats from Republicans. And they’re both awful, but while the Republicans own and revel in their awfulness, those Democrats still cling to the facade of being ‘better.’

Good to see Equilibrium get some love. Excellent B-movie shoot ‘em up.

Just sent $50 more to Warren. Hell, yes. This is the best revelation ever: Elizabeth Warren fucks. You are damn straight it fucking slaps. 

Yes, it’s an urban legend that’s been squashed repeatedly. A couple guys at Blizzard were Warhammer fans, so it was an inspiration. They never lost the rights because they never had them, nor tried to get them. I believe there was a push from like one dev to talk to Games Workshop, but the higher ups at Blizz said no…

That’s incredibly optimistic. In the future hellscape of 2052, after the hostile takeover of Google by the Great and Glorious Disney Empire, Nunes’ grandchildren most definitely be ‘Disneying’ him rather than googling him.
