The thing that strikes me is that if someone complained about the officer dropping F-bombs, you better believe he and the police union would would lose their shit screaming about the officer’s First Amendment right to be vulgar trash on the taxpayer’s dime.

These police officers were put in an impossible situation.

I’m amazed that police unions continue to be awful and grow in power and influence while other noble unions are steadily getting busted and castigated as “un-American”

When confronted with a similar scenario you deescalate the situation and don’t treat people like sitting on the floor is equivalent to a crime. Trying to pull a child out of a mother’s arms is not deescalation. 

Sometimes, when faced with a world so unjust, I escape into my mind and think about how the world would look if we treated white-collar tax evaders or embezzlers with the same passionate aggression that we treat people who sit on the floor or sell loose cigarettes. 

Congrats! Hope baby and mom are doing well. Nice sly shade to the “as the father of a daughter...” schtick.

Pence just creeped me the way he looked at Pelosi like “Woman. Too. Close.”

I hate to be this person, but would you consider removing the method she used to complete her suicide?

In short:

I think the line of reasoning goes like this:

...grown tired of “ the divisive rhetoric that blames all the ills of society on white men.”

What were they supposed to do, being outnumbered by Republicans? Basic math was against them.

In the words of Mrs. Michelle Obama, “I have been at probably every powerful table that you can think of, I have worked at nonprofits, I have been at foundations, I have worked in corporations, served on corporate boards, I have been at G-summits, I have sat in at the U.N.: They are not that smart.” 

At this point maybe it’s for the best. People on the right think governing is like “The Apprentice” but too many on the left think it’s like “The West Wing.”

I wish we could go to the Home Depot parking lot and hire a couple of guys to take over for Trump & Pence.

Because he still hasn’t become a real boy.

This is why I don’t ever want to hear from another “progressive” about how Pelosi should step aside for “fresh blood.” This woman handed Trump his ass on live national television. Not on Twitter but to his face. Even Schumer managed to find a pair of ovaries. That’s a damn Christmas miracle right there.

It’s like Pence was the model for that tiny terror.
