I am livid about this. I can’t put it into words. That cop should be fired, shamed, and left to drown in their own worthless cowardice. I have no sympathy for anyone that harms others out of their own lack of courage.

Fuck off you worthless gutter-dwelling sewer-infesting far-right shitheel. 

DeLeon doesn’t deserve the blame here. He more than did his part with the equalizer. He came back from serious injury and started playing RB at a solid level, when you’re relying on him to clinch a PK not to lose you’ve already dug yourself in a hole. 

Well, the tale states he’s from China, but then there’s essentially nothing beyond that supports the setting and it uses terms that make far more sense in other regions (I’m not sure the title Sultan ever was used widely in the largely Turkic Muslim areas near China, and I’m certain it wasn’t in use among Hui Muslims…

Yeah, this seems like a pointless bit of PR damage for the court, which makes me think it was an overzealous guard of supervisor working from a very literal reading of the rules, without the benefit of the power to waive it.

According to studies I’ve seen, quite a few people, particularly older ones (who are more consistent voters). It’s a serious problem. This is an effective way to get eyeballs on your ads, and with microtargeting to get the people who might even fall for it. 

Incompetence on the global stage is harmful though, more harmful than it is in domestic policy. 

There is literally nothing good to say about Nauert on policy. She knows nothing. No background. You could grab a freshman poli sci major from any decent college and get someone more qualified.

Even an actual “private intelligence” firm founded by real Israeli spies has completely managed to bungle their entire operation multiple times. Black Cube got caught, their ties to rich folks money came out, their shady possibly illegal actions did too, and now they’re scrambling to cover their asses. 

Gab deserves every misfortune heaped on them. Their official account is friendly with neo-Nazis and white nationalist and regularly pushes their narratives. I assume Twitter hasn’t banned it to avoid the cries of “harming a competitor” but if they enforced their rules honestly the Gab account would have been banned a…

What’s funny is multiple people have seen and photographed the van before, and some of them have been quoted in news stories on the topic. As was the manager of the pizza place he formerly worked at, where she said they made him park the van where customers couldn’t see it.

None of them can take the radicalism they stoke seriously. This guy was a hardcore Trump supporter, racist, shared memes from the far-right media ecosystem. He committed domestic terrorism. But they’re sitting there trying to pretend it’s not really an issue. 

If the motive turns out to be what it seems, this really would be better described as domestic terrorism than a shooting. If the US had a rational legal structure on domestic terrorism, at least. Political/ideological motivation, soft target, potential ties to extremist ideology.

The police/authorities whatever say that to cover their asses. This quick after it happening I don’t blame them because they may not have all his records, have searched his home, etc. It’s reflexive bureaucratic action. 

So is most modern pop-country, so you’d think they’d be aware. Same with a bunch of the big rock acts.

An extremely expensive bit of security theater considering the “caravan” is still weeks away, currently shrinking, and consists of exhausted families intending to apply for asylum, which is completely legal. This is about the midterms so who cares about wasting money I guess? 

That seems a bit more niche than your generic pro-Trump far-right Twitter and Facebook memes. That’s interesting, though alone it’s not really evidence of much. Maybe we’ll finally have a real talk about online radicalization in the US. 

This is the logical conclusion of their overhaul of the courts. Roll back regulation they don’t like, including that meant to safeguard human rights. It won’t be long before we get some more “religious freedom” ones about discriminating against non-Christians or gays.

I think it’s getting worse. A lot of people are trying to just keep going, I’m always seeing scholars on Twitter or whatever debating policy like that’s a thing that we still do as a country, but I think that’s just going through the motions.

This is the inevitable result of a media ecosystem where what “side” someone is on matters more than the facts or details of a given event. Any event must be parsed to fit a pre-existing worldview, in the case of these cretins that’s “leftists are bad”.
