Moral crimes don’t exist Jack. Just crimes. Those are based on mutually agreed upon laws by the citizens and representatives of a sovereign nation. We’ve decided via choice or apathy that we don’t want illegal immigrants in the country. Your moral outrage is irrelevant. Almost nobody wants an open borders policy.…

Supposedly, PREPA is known to be corrupt as all heck, but yeah. I’d love to see the executives there on the line for paying whitefish, and FEMA/PR government/Feds saying heck no, they’re not paying, they didn’t sign anything.

I think the argument is that the police as they are currently, are part of the reason people are getting “murdered or screwed,” so giving them a $95 million academy while the entire city is having money issues makes no sense. Closing schools and skimping on education/training so that police officers get a pool is a…

Larry Krasner, a civil rights attorney who made his career suing law enforcement, often on pro bono cases against poor clients, was just elected District Attorney for Philadelphia. He had never been a prosecutor and was considered unelectable. Every progressive paper endorsed his other democratic opponent, a woman…

Is there a point where this organization is officially declared a criminal enterprise?

She was more than a terrible campaigner, she was a terrible candidate. She’s good at making underhanded back room deals with bankers to undermine the democratic process, but that doesn’t make her a good leader. Donald Trump’s is no better though, they are both criminals.

TL;DR version;

Let me clarify something. Yes, I don’t like Clinton. But I’m not... loathsome of her, like I am Republicans. More than anything else, I just want her to go away. Fade into the background. No more books. No more PACs. No more interviews about “what went wrong?” More than anything, I just don’t want to hear the name…

I think THIS is the problem. The “Sexytime” thing isn’t so egregious. A show I worked on called sex scenes that and we had no complaints. But this woman DID. And the AD easily could have just apologized, stated he had no ill intentions, and corrected it. No settlement needed! I apologize to people all the time in my…

When being polite to one person means being an asshole and inconveniencing another (usually more)... it’s not really being polite.

The polite thing drives me bonkers. Not only does it cause slow downs but it causes accidents. If you have the right away, you go. If you have a sign (or lack of sign) telling you to do something, do it. There’s an entrance at a shopping center near me where it’s a 3 way intersection. Cars coming off a major strip…

Did you complain about when it happened? Did this writer? If not, then don’t complain about this. I agree with you that prior bad acts don’t condone current bad acts but don’t act like this is something new that has never happened before and feign outrage. If you or the writer complained about the example I provided,…

1. You needed to learn enough Spanish to shut that shit down either in Spanish, or by at least addressing what they said when responding to them in English. Even if it turns out they weren’t talking about you, a “that’s still not appropriate in my classroom” ought to do it with most kids.

I live in CT and am friends with people in Homeland Security, including top level people who toured the scene the day of the attack. My firm is very involved in state level legislative process. The behind-the-scenes of it is sickening.

The surveillance state was never meant to save us. It was meant to keep the 1% safe from us.

“Even though I felt zero desire for him, it ultimately seemed less taxing to get drunk and let him have his way with me later that night.

Hey now. I live in the Lehigh Valley just outside Allentown and I have all my teeth. Then again, I’m originally from Jersey...

“I must not fear. Fear is the mind-killer. Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration. I will face my fear. I will permit it to pass over me and through me. And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path. Where the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain.”
