We should be careful about shaming people who don’t kneel. Everybody got all bent out of shape when Kaep knelt, even though it was his first amendment right to damn well do what he pleased. But now that everybody’s all woke we’re doing it all over again - getting bent out of shape when someone doesn’t kneel.

It makes the person getting mad feel kind of smug.

the modern right/conservative in the US: the only way to keep America from devolving into a Government control socialist dystopia like China is to make it like China before the libs do.

Here is a crazy idea. If police want to police protests, they must do it in full uniform with full badge number visible if they want to have the privileges that come with being the police. If you want to arrest someone, you get to do it under the scrutiny of the public. If you need to defend yourself with force, you…

Plain clothes, running up and snatching someone without clear establishment of what authority you are representing is not how we as Americans accept an arrest. This person was not a violent extremist or anything that would require a tactic of this level. Nor would would we arrest someone who did meet that level in…

The original 4-door coupe SUV

Hey everyone,

that logo kind of looks like a blown-out bussy.

And they fired into the car with the supposed victim they were trying to save!!  They could have injured or killed her!

4th gear

It is either that or a fleet of 20 something douche nozzles on crotch rockets splitting traffic at 90 mph. Maybe it is just something about motorcycles that attract a certain kind of asshole.

Yeah, I wanted it to be a much longer bit.

It takes two to tango in this. Yes, the government dropped the ball initially, but now it is the general public running with it to the other team’s goal line.

Thanks, it’s really infuriating. Look at this great life I have here, and everything I’ve accomplished and got for myself - truly, truly grateful for it all - but is it really worth it, when we trust our own government that we ourselves voted in this little, and when we can’t trust our fellow citizens to do the right…

Great post. If our government just had the ability to think rationally about this, the solution is basically exactly what you described from your home country: just press pause on everything for a couple months. Mortgages, rent, corporate loans, credit cards, student loans, and everything else. Your mortgage was…

This is what it comes down to. I really, really don’t care about the philosophies behind one form of government vs. another. I care about end results when it comes to crises like this that are outside of the control of the average person - what the hell is the government put in place going to do about this?

Today I was reading the daily update for our state and they noted as a nice tidbit that our largest county, population around 650k people, had more cases than entire countries like Finland(5.5M) and Norway(5.4M)...

When every other modern country has gotten it under control, and we haven’t (and now we’re in the company of Brazil and Russia), you know we fucked up bad. America in its current condition is borderline failed state.
