Whatever may be wrong with BLMGNF (and I suspect it’s being blown out of proportion), it’s not all of Black Lives Matter.

Yeah psychedelics and guns do not sound like a good mix. Playing around with a tool of death while are tripping balls and vulnerable is a terrible idea.

Also, if you’re going to take drugs, take drugs in a crowd that you know has your back and will protect you if things go sideways (as opposed to shooting you).

to cover your bases, you may want to warn your son about getting high, wildly shooting his AK-47, and aiming his gun as a threat at other hallucinating gun owners.

Yep. He became the people he used to rail on.

This is who Dave Chappelle is now. He’s Andrew Dice Clay. He’s not going to get better. He’s just going to keep getting more defiant and less funny.

Dave got that Netflix money, and almost immediately became an old rich white man.

There is no need for the cops to have canine units at all. The only function should be as SAR animals, and SAR is too specialist for cops.

I get the intent of the first line in this article but this was the opposite of “quick”. I’m 42 years old and knew he belonged in jail when I was a child just from hearing open secrets about him at the bus stop or on local radio. 

Folks are highlighting that this is a waste of time, that he’ll lose again, etc etc. And they are right. But I think Trump’s goals are different than a conventional victory in the court of law:

I shocked, SHOCKED, that what was meant to devolve into a broadcast knife fight between UNICEF and The Ronald McDonald House was scrapped.
