I feel you. I’ve got a son who’s a special needs child. This kind of stuff has scared the hell out of me forever. (By the way, fun fact, if a cop uses physical force and a kid “resists” the kid can then be charged with assaulting an officer.)

When I think about my friends who are survivors, the 1 in 5 number starts to seem low. And that’s just the friends who were close enough to talk about it.

But was she completely traumatized and will this negatively effect her feeling of security, safety, and trust in law enforcement for many, many years? HELL YES.

At the very least she probably had the breath knocked out of her.

He almost certainly knocked her out. I really, really hope she wasn’t concussed.

What a big, strong, man.

I’m not saying smart people can’t like Bernie. I’m saying his team has refined his message down to appeal to a specific type of voter, to the point where it’s irritating. I don’t think Bernie is incapable of specific policy positions, I think his team has made a conscious decision that policy specifics are actually…

His college plan also depends too much on state governments taking the lead. This, despite the fact that most of the states are currently run by Republicans. The same Republicans who have turned down free federal money under the Medicaid expansion just to stick it to Obama and screw over poor and working class people.

He’s from Brooklyn and was meeting with The Daily News not the San Diego Union-Tribune. This is the kind of “Man of the people” v. “Out-of-touch Elitist” question they often ask.

They are excoriating him for it because he demonstrated that he lacked basic knowledge on a topic he talks about constantly. He isn’t wrong about how the system is fucked, but it is a problem that he has zero interest in figuring out how to fix it beyond giving speeches. I like the guy, but this is a serious flaw of…

I recently read his tuition-free college plan and it’s crazy how it assumes that states will happily depend on Wall Street success in order to fund their universities (God forbid that economic downturns will happen).

I think you kind of buried the lede on this. The president does not need to ride the subway. The president should have some concept of how they would execute their campaign promises.

So this is what it looks like when journalists finally start vetting Sanders, huh?

Dude’s so goddamn vague about everything. I swear to god, I’ve seen a couple of speeches where he was actually more eloquent and informed about things. Is he trying to make it this generalised to keep up the whole optimistic “revolution” momentum going or what?

Heads would explode.

Guys imagine if HRC had said something about fucking subway tokens.

i believe him, simply because other women wanting to sleep with ted cruz is just

Retirement living for the generation that will never be able to retire!

That’s a ripe load of bullshit. The Daily Mail chose to use two different terms in their article, and it’s no mistake that they chose to use the term with negative connotations for her and the term with more neutral connotations for him. This kind of thing doesn’t happen in a vacuum.

I don’t know about criminal charges, but their other children need to be taken away. These white people get to keep their children, meanwhile Native American families have an uphill battle getting theirs back from white foster parents who never had the option to adopt. FFS.
