It never ceases to amaze me how conservatives will twist themselves in utter knots to support private healthcare even when their own experiences demonstrate it doesn’t work.

I know, I’m just being petty because that shit is so tired.

Fuck insurance companies. But also fuck people who put their feet up on the dash or out the window. But also fuck insurance companies.

“Coastal elites”
Who is going to tell him that being from North Carolina also makes him “coastal”.

What can you say to someone like this? It sounds like he got a C- in Econ 101 and that is the extent of what he understands about how markets work. How does he think “more competition” would work for medical care? After suffering a sudden, catastrophic injury, he would have shopped around for the cheapest care? Like,…

Hmm. I disagree only because I think reparations should be a completely separate and additional expense on top of defunding the police. Those savings should be poured into Black communities, yes, but I don’t think defunding the police should be the source of income for reparation payments (for one, it won’t be enough…

I don’t know why they aren’t also charging them with false imprisonment. That’s the impetus to this whole crime.
Throw in the cops giving these guys cover for a very obvious series of crimes and lies about those crimes. It’s the definition of a criminal conspiracy.

Now how about obstruction of justice (or whatever is appropriate, I’m no lawyer) charges against the members of the police dept that told these assholes what they were doing was legal, and protected them instead of arresting them/investigating?

The fact that Ahmaud Arbery was murdered in February and it’s only being investigated now, after an intense campaign of pressure to do so...show that moves to arrest and convict mean very little for long term change. Call me when they abolish the police and pay the savings into black communities as reparations

White capitalist feminism seems to have just turned into “we’re going to do what our men do” and nothing else. Let’s “girlboss” our way to the top by degrading others just like white men do, harass and underpay our employees, fail to address all the same racial disparities that white men fail to address and in fact…

To be fair to dodge how many problems can their 2 cars have after 13+ years in production?  I figure those should be worked out by now

So what, he’ll go to the next town over and get hired there. Charge them, arrest them, and try them before a jury of people who didn’t hire them to do exactly what they did.

In his letter, Police Chief Robert Schroeder said Hankison “displayed an extreme indifference to the value of human life when you wantonly and blindly fired ten (10) rounds into the apartment of Breonna Taylor,” and that Hankison shot Taylor without confirming she was a threat to his life (which she wasn’t, as she was…

What about the people who authorized this raid? The man they wanted was already in custody.  How many people signed off on this? Every single one should be fired, and while I'd love to see charges, I'm not sure if there are specific charges prosecutors could bring. This is a complicated situation because a lot more…

Not because the roads were hard to drive, but because nobody wanted to damage their $50k truck’s paint job.

• 94% of truck owners have used their truck to help others.

I’d say that if we’re talking about the general category of “a man’s done me wrong” songs, the estates of people like Billie Holiday and Nina Simone would be a lot more deserving of those Swift royalties.  But then again, Stefani would probably find a way to appropriate the money, too.

Wow, that was a really good, detailed article. I was definitely the perfect teeny bopper age when Tragic Kingdom came out to really want to be Gwen Stefani. Shirly Manson was right, she was really a trojan horse.

I remember reading Buzzfeed’s extensive article about her, and being shocked that—as uncharitable as I had been over the years about her lack of substance—I had actually been giving her too much credit all along.

No, but then again, I don’t often remember things that never happened.
