The one thing law enforcement officers have proven time and again over the last several decades is that they are anything but “brave.”  By an large, anyone waving a badge is a fucking fascist coward.  Fuck ‘em all.

I’m very sad that the massive influx of right wing trolls lately meant than I had to look through your posting history before I could allow this reasonable take through.

It’s also a boxful of lies, since it’s well known that POC have to be at least four times as qualified as white people of otherwise equivalent demographics to even GET the interviews for some jobs ... and they are regularly, systematically screened out of those processes prior to the interviewing process in many cases…

Eh, in his defense (gag), I think he’s just remarking on how uncompetitive the district has been historically. Sophie also did not include the first part of his statement:

At least until Kavanaugh gets confirmed and the SCOTUS hears a case to make all private sector workers subject to RTW, which they will no doubt rule against the private sector unions on just like they with the public ones with the Janus ruling.

I could, and have, go on endlessly about this.

(a) Yes, of course it’s misogyny.

I’m from one of those rural areas and I’ve heard the explicit version many times. I spent a long time railing against the nonsense the elected leaders spouted, only to eventually give up and pack it in. It’s frustrating, because I wish I was closer to my family and the area we’ve lived in for over a hundred years, but…

Yeah, nothing says “Out of Touch Elite” like a bowl of Real Chili. 

The simple truth is, to most Republicans, cities are one of two things: 1. socialist elitist hellholes or 2. minority filled third-world shitholes.

Oh man, if people are surprised that right wingers consider Columbus to be an “elitist” city, go to literally anywhere in the Midwest and hear their Republican politicians talk about the nearest big metro area. You’ve got no idea how racist the word “Milwaukee” can sound until you’ve heard it coming from some big wet R…

Why let some details like cost, property rights, or feasibility stand in the way? Of course it's a disaster in the making. Of the three legs of project management - cost, schedule, and quality - it probably won't make any one of them. Whatever the budget, it will go over. They won't meet any reasonable schedule. And…

“Meritocracy” never has, never had, and never will exist. It’s a way to get discriminatory policies in under the radar.

Facebook is a supporter of white supremacists, plain and simple.

For years and years I’ve watched women, queer folk and black activists get banned and have posts deleted for even the slightest infraction or no infraction whatsoever while racists are given a pass with hateful, violent and disgusting actions. I’ve…

It is also hard to put “we capriciously upended the lives of 700,000 people i n order to try and force the Democrats to pay for our Wall” in a legal document.

“Hunger is rare.”

> “Those comments are totally inappropriate,” she added. “The president should not be talking about the investigation at all.”

I don’t know why any black person joins the cops in the first place.
