Reverse racism totally exists. Ask Aamer Rahman.

Same here.  Please leave the goatee out.  Being fat, red faced, middle aged (and bald in my case) WITHOUT a goatee makes me look like an anthropomorphic thumb.

How did it take thousands of calls and 13 months to catch this guy? He doesn’t sound like he’s a Professor Moriarty level criminal.

Better that he did cut her mic.  Now everyone knows about it.  Otherwise it would have disappeared without a ripple.

Electability is key!  Just like it was for Hillary Clinton.

Pelosi playing chess; Trump drenching the board in hot, ropy streams of urine.

The only trouble with this is that while Dems would use it to indict a president who’s been criming his whole life the GOP will use it to indict any Dem prez who wears a tan suit.  Just ask Mitch, he’ll tell you.  Gleefully.

Warren has a plan for that.

The problem is less the cops but the system around them that can never hold them accountable. Laws are so lax around police behavior for fear of constraining them in their jobs that it allows any behavior with the unprovable justification of “credible fear,”  That claim then gets interpreted by a justice system that

In my home town a developer is looking to replace our shopping center parking lot with eleventy billion apartments which will crush our schools and roads and such.  At the first hearing where residents were allowed to express their views on this we met the developer’s representative whose name was, I shit you not,

Goddammit I’m still a 10 year old boy.  This still gives me chills of excitement.
