Yeah. I live nearby and it sounds like gang-related violence to me. This kind of random attack on a pedestrian seems like a gang initiation, and it’s happened more than a few times in this area.

That confession is the craziest part of all this. The idea that he’s enrolled at the University of Virginia, in a fraternity, and studying abroad but his family is somehow so destitute that he would risk his life for the promise a pickup-truck worth $10,000 it utterly ridiculous. It also makes no sense that a church…

I’m watching for the first time his full “confession” video. It’s so freaking bizarre. That a woman from his church offered him a used car to take the sign because she wanted to “weaken the unity” of the DPRK people? That the Friendship United Methodist church has a bank account balance of 42 million dollars ($10…

This was my initial thought as well. There is an entire US marine artillery detachment probably 50-100 miles away (north of Raqqa). My guess is we have a significant SOF presence advising the SDF along the western edge of Raqqa.

Hahaha Reddit is definitely a source for fact checking!

At least Reagan’s dementia took hold during the latter part of his presidency.

That’s true, but unfortunately, First Amendment rights does not consider such things unless there is an imminent lawless action.

This was the right call. Fuck the Redskins with a sack of sharp dicks, but you don’t want the government to be in the business of deciding what trademarks are “offensive.” There are a lot of things we’re fine with today that were once deeply offensive to little old ladies clutching handbags. Codifying what your…

Good. They should be embarrassed publicly for their terrible name, not censored by the government.

I am 33 and while it is a bit young to truly remember and enjoy the 80s, I loved the feel of Stranger Things! I look forward to binge watching the second season as soon as it comes out and being scared shitless.

Are you young? I think those of us who really love the show grew up on 80's films just like this. The nostalgia is great.

All mushrooms and no cake makes Mario a crazy man.

For those wondering, here’s what Jordan Taylor had to say about the incident:

Weird, since everyone in that video seems thoroughly competent, careful, and generally intelligent. I guess this just goes to show you that freak accidents can occur to the best of us no matter how many precautions you take.

Ugh.

When this shit was heating up, I read a good article that reminded me of something about Watergate: to this day we don’t know whether Nixon actually committed the underlying crime of ordering the break in, or even knew about it. No truly hard evidence has ever come out either way. What ultimately brought Nixon down…

The Russia shit happened. A lot of people in his campaign (Kushner and Flynn for sure, possibly Sessions, and a number of people we either don’t know too well or have already forgotten about (remember Manafort?)) were absolutely involved in deliberate collusion.

Since when do you have to notify someone that they’re under investigation? Especially for this wouldn’t it be made more difficult to collect evidence if you told him that he’s under investigation?

Distributors say the law aims to prevent larger beer companies that acquire independent breweries from avoiding paying distributors.
