Your point about full-time bodycams is good. However, in these pages we have seen calls for more sensitive use of the footage to protect the public’s privacy. ACLU also calls for that. and that’s a problem. Bodycam footage seems designed to convict police, but never to convict anyone else. I would submit that anything…

If Franklin was victimized by bank fraud shortly before her death, perhaps we can understand her carrying all this cash around her person. Even so, how do you hire backing musicians, stagehands etc without some kind of banking process or accounting?

How do you know he was straight?

If you actually read BB you will find them making fun of Democrats, Republicans, Catholics, Baptists, Jehovah Witnesses, CNN, FOX Atheists and George F. Will. They are very ecumenical in their targets.

Why does this make it sound like giving students a place to buy a pair of socks or a bar of soap is terribly exploiting?

Okay, is Franken planning to renter politics and this is the first step of his rehabilitation? Or is there some other prominent progressive groper out there whose story is about to explode, and this is just battlefield preparation for that fight? It could be a market test of the “he wasn’t as bad as Weinstein” slogan.

Those recordings also caught the moment the captured scientists heard about Hiroshima. Heisenberg flatly didn’t believe it; he was still laboring under the theory that it would take something like 100 kilograms of plutonium to trigger fission. The Allies had stayed with the problem longer and found the correct figure…

Er..... I don’t think I’ve ever heard Sweden and Africa in the same sentence. Can you inform us?

I believe the detective said as much in an earlier episode: she was mystified the Five lied when self defense would be a plausible defense.

Even more to the point, why didn’t they have Ronan Farrow do the piece? Now that would have been something!

Yes, having a man as the Senatorial change leader on #Metoo would work fine, right?

All politics are local.

So which indigenous peoples actually get any of the $600,000 reparation? Or would it be fairer to just get the money in cash and set it on fire?

The AF is completely ready.

Sexual harassment and fraud, such as that practiced by Dr. Kim, are already illegal. What medical regulations of fertility treatments would change that? I don’t see what Kim’s 13 year old crimes have to do with the current problems of poor clinical protocols.

Stalked by the 19 year old patient himself?

Over on the right side of the web, the narrative (strictly avoided here) is that she was fired for being inadequately obsequious to trans activists. 

I don’t know how many Germans were in the Soviet program. However, I do know that Koralev, the head of the operation, was released from the GULAG and put to work on captured Nazi equipment. I’ve always thought that if I’d been unjustly enslaved and then given a rocket lab, I might aim my first rocket at the Kremlin.

I suggest you look at White Fever, a 2009 report by a Polish journalist who drove from Western Russia to Vladivostok, meeting many guys driving JDMs back from the Pacific. Its a sometimes harrowing look at the disintegrating state of the country. Between tuberculosis epidemics, road pirates and corrupt cops, its…

Well, here on The Root everybody has been lauding Kim Foxx for dropping charges against Jussie Smollett, but now we have this. Why wouldn’t the video be enough to convict? Maybe the Cook County prosecutors office is actually screwed up?
