That was absolutely terrifying. How Mr Thompson stayed so (apparently) calm is an impressive display of self-control and calm under extremely stressful circumstances. It’s also terrifying that it was needed. And that it still wasn’t enough. I am relieved to hear he survived that encounter.

So, once again, a black woman is sacrificed to protect a black man?

The accusation of sexual assault is probably what qualified him in Trumps eyes.

As an Australian with single payer, we also have private health insurance. The single payer is considered to be a safety net, and if you aren’t on some form of unemployment benefit/disability pension/low income exception, you must either buy basic health insurance, or pay an additional single payer levy.

And they’ll almost certainly have a history of domestic violence. They’re insecure, inadequate people taking out their issues on the world, and as police officers they’ve found the perfect way to do it.

Kemp probably made up hacking claims against Democrats?

It snowballed waaaay beyond what the other kid had ever intended (they were getting therapy for the guilt they still felt as an adult) and has left lasting…
