It’s not a very good (or PC) analogy, but I guess sometimes you need to use loaded language to get people’s attention?

I’m not a doctor, but I’m sure there are plenty.

I can’t get on board with taxpayers footing the bill for sex re-assignment surgery. However someone feels about their body, it is still functional, and there is no guarantee that surgery will solve their dysphoria or that it won’t lead to other complications. I think 30 years is probably enough time served for a bar…

It is impossible to be a “conservationist” who shoots endangered apex predators - which, in Africa, is all the apex predators. If you want to go shoot a wildebeest because you can’t find anyone else to help with the measuring tape but simply must show how big your dick is, fine. But don’t go shoot a lion or an…

I was just coming here to say that - this is some poor photo selection.

Wait, I’m in the greys again? On everything?? ITD, Kitchenette, Jez...

... surely having MORE evidence in this woman’s favor is not a bad thing?

He saw her pull out. He turned around to follow her. He raced up on her. She moved over. Whap - he hits the lights. He CREATED THIS TRAFFIC STOP SO HE COULD HARASS A BLACK WOMAN PERIOD FULL STOP END OF STORY.

how can you hang yourself with a plastic bag? is this even doable? and i mean like, truly strangle yourself. like, how?

Wait, is this a troll post? Because accusing a black man dressing like a slave owner as a joke is messed up.

Yeah it seems like a lot of people here think we’re talking about guys slinging an 1/8th of weed. The applications I looked at were carried a lot of cocaine, and had been for their whole adult lives. In and out, doing the same thing. Not addicts themselves, just in it for the money without regard to the way their…

This is by far the most important part of the story that seemed to have been left out of the original post. These are federal prisoners, and most definitely are not the type of “non violent drug offenders” that most people think of when discussing this issue. If you are in federal prison for a drug crime you’re most…

Thank you, that was very informative. It’s easy to see ‘nonviolent’ and assume the people in question were imprisoned for having a few ounces of weed. It makes ‘only 80’ much more understandable.

Definitely. In the cases of people who qualified for clemency, they’ve determined it doesn’t mean they deserve a life sentence. But that is NOT the same as saying these were minor drug infractions. Quite the contrary.

These aren’t “minor “drug infractions. “Non-violent” means simply that they didn’t, for example, possess a weapon in furtherance of a drug trafficking crime. These pardons are all federal charges, and the federal doesn’t charge simple possession. The people being pardoned were eligible for life sentences, have served…

Sure, that’s some of them, but some people also expressed what I’d want which is to have a good time, listen to some music, and feel relaxed and not be on edge as The Only Black Person In The Area™

Why is an 11 year old on Facebook?

That's not at ALL what black Irish means.

She’s mixed. The pic with her siblings make that pretty obvious. I think her mom probably had a secret.
