Thank you, John Kasich, for freeing me from the notion that there is a Republican politician worth spitting on if they catch on fire. It’s truly liberating.

Ugh, things like the recounts and the push to have the Electoral College vote for Clinton are just making me feel worse, because they give me little bits of hope that are setting me up to be completely crushed all over again.

Sometimes I wish this country would get invaded by a foreign country and taken over.

So is the juror conceding that their personal beliefs — not any residual reasonable doubt or even a disagreement over whether or not the legal standard for voluntary manslaughter and/or murder has been met — are preventing them from convicting Slager of his accused crimes? Their focus on their own conscience is awful…

Juror sure used a lot of words, when “I dont think that black people and cops lives are equal” would suffice. This case was cut and dry. The only reason you dont convict is because you are a racist. the officer bet that he could get at least one, and he did.

He doesn’t see black people as people. It’s as simple as that. The juror also probably thought that Mr. Scott was a criminal already or was one in the making so the cop was just doing everyone a favor and taking him out now. This is why Black Lives Matter is so important because to many Americans black lives don’t…

That note is bullshit. They knew what they were doing when being selected. Considering the literal video evidence showing the shooting and the planting of taser so he could back up his “feared for his life” story, there’s nothing that would have changed this juror’s mind through the trial. As Noble pointed out, that…

My heart aches for you and all parents in this position. It’s horrible and we shouldn’t have to feel this way. I’m sorry, and I send positives vibes your way, knowing that your son will most likely be fine.

Right. Right. He thought the man running away from him had his taser, so he shot him, because the man running away from him was going to tase him. The man running away from him. Got it.

I am dying to know exactly what the reasonable doubt is that this guy is seeing. Its not like this is a video where it begins in the middle of the action we got to see the entire execution and attempted cover up. I’m thinking this juror is one of those #BlueLivesMatter people who was never going to vote guilty for…

I read this and I cried and cried. I just - my son is so sweet and cute - has straight A’s and reads at a 6th grade level (he’s 8). I live in a very family friendly area of Florida. I let him go outside because he is an active child and loves to play but boy am I afraid. So very afraid. Because in the case of…

I mean, the cop claimed on the stand to have truly been in fear and believed in the heat of the moment that Mr. Scott had stolen his taser. If I had to guess, this juror seems to have settled on “I can’t actually figure out what was in his mind so that’s reasonable doubt,” when in reality the videotape is so clear…

I’ve said this before. That fucking juror needs to repeat what they said until they go insane. “The man who killed their son..... the man who killed their son...”

Some people have brains but nothing inside them, hearts with no souls, and endless amounts of energy.

I cannot imagine what moronic thoughts were going through the lone holdout’s mind. I have to imagine it was something along the lines of “but he says he was afraid so I just can’t second guess a cop!”

A national disgrace. Even fucking “Morning” Joe Scarborough couldn’t understand the lone juror when it was all captured on video. When Morning Joe man knows better than you, you’ve sunk pretty low.

Hell yes, and don’t forget the veterans groups, each led by a Native American woman vet, who showed up to protect the water defenders. Now that is fucking American. Fuck these corporate, fossil fuel, fuck-the-environment bastards.

So, Austria rejected a far-right candidate and DAPL is stopped. It’s a good day! Let’s hope the results of the Italian referendum continue the pattern...and that this is a turning point after this no-good shitty year! (Louisiana senate seat; recounts and/or faithless electors, pleaseohplease!)

I am SO relieved! This whole situation has just been a nightmare of unfairness and abuse of power reminiscent of the bad old days of the civil rights movement, complete with water cannons. And when I learned that the pipeline was originally planned to go near some white town, and they got it moved because they were…

That’s the part that enrages and baffles me the most (aside from everything else, I honestly can’t decide). You literally hire actors to pretend to feel emotion. There is no reason to force them to actually feel it. There is no fucking reason to make a woman really feel like she’s going to get raped. Talk to her like…
