Mueller, Rothenstein, and Sessions are all Republicans.

Even Trump knows it’s bad when your bag man gets raided.

The vegetarian angle is a little extreme, but the broader point he’s making about the effective use of taxpayer dollars is sound.

He isn’t. It is a government assistance program funded by taxpayers. This is exactly the time when we should restrict what people should get, so they are able to be healthy. I don’t want this to be a public subsidy to fucking Pepsi and Mars and whatnot.

No, his take is - if you are already getting help from the government and making unhealthy choices that will make you even more reliant on the government, perhaps food stamps aren’t good for anyone.

He isn’t wrong. People on assistance are already on the poverty end of the spectrum and eating junk food is like a death sentence to them. If they got fresh food and cooked more (I know this is hard, but it is worth it), they would help prevent a lot of shitty diseases/conditions that go with poor diet. Then they…

He was so “unfloored” that I wasn’t sure he’d heard the question. Just watching it, I was bewildered by the leap from “here’s the shitty consequences of your policies” to “are you a robot?”

Agree. It is fine that this was probably cathartic for her and fuck Cruz, he deserves all the rudeness in the world. But this was just...stupid.

It sounds like conservative fake news to call this “flooring” Ted Cruz. I hate him as much as anyone and like that she accused him of not being a human (because fuck him, be as rude to him as you want). But “floored?” He stayed calm and collected and handled it without blinking.He never was put on the spot to answer a…

I fucking hate Ted Cruz, but stuff like this only play into his hand.

Also, remember when Sam Nunberg said he felt horrible for Michael Cohen because Trump was going to throw him under a big bus very soon?

“weaponized”

“You could accomplish this sort of redistribution of wealth through the tax code, via a tax designed to take from any platform that distributes news without paying for it, and plow the money back into the creation of news.”

It is very sad that it ended this way .

Yeah fuck those people who aren’t willing to die for my sense of fairness!

Ultimately, it’s not relevant. A bullet or a stab from a mentally ill person is just as effective as one from a neurotypical person. Threaten the police with what looks for all the world like a firearm and you’re going to get dropped no matter who you are.

Hey, if you can invent one, that would be great!

I guess, but does knowing the guy pointing what looks like a gun has mental health issues make you think the situation is less dangerous? This all just seems like an unfortunate tragedy we don’t really need to stage protests over.

Yea, that’s what I love about these people. Here is what the innocent child, Michael Brown was doing before he got himself killed

I don’t really understand the relevance of his mental health issues. Should the cops somehow have known about them? Would knowing that the guy brandishing an object that looked like a gun was mentally ill have made him seem like less of a threat?
