There’s video of Gardner being subjected to the chokehold while the officer was on his back.

You can respect law enforcement and at the same time despise the monsters with badges that should being sitting in jail with life sentences. Shockingly there are good cops. There are also bad cops and the vile unions that protect them until the end. They're right up there with the Teamsters in how corrupt they are.

“...while I have great respect for law enforcement generally..”

“That’s what our job is that’s what you expect when you dial 911 when there’s a criminal attacking you,” Lynch continued . . .

And the rest of that saying is “...ruin the bunch”

OMG, there’s trying to protect your members, then there’s this. The man put a chokehold that was against policy, on a detainee, leading to Gardner’s death, and they defend him this far? Any other union would stop by now.

Ugh, no. The rich would be far more useful as fertilizer for other, better food- not entrees.

Check out the book “Generation Priced Out”...goes into a ton of the NIMBYism and other factors that got us here. Pretty interesting read.

New developments here in the Bay Area have to be a certain percentage “low income” housing. Here’s the kicker though. Low income in the Bay Area is $117,000 or less for a 2 income household. pretty much my entire peer group of mid 30s professionals qualify so those housing units basically just get snatched up by what…

I don’t think it’s a big spoiler but if you care, spoiler alert noneth…

Capitalism should serve the body politic, not the other way around. In order for this to work the nation-state must be defined, recognized, and unified. We’re kind of a long way off but it’s nice to see that the left recognizes this problem as well.

This is the exact thing I needed to read after my coworker spent the last five minutes gushing about Scaramucci’s current face-saving cable news tour.

The thing is that since we are all relativists if the rich all had less but still w/in proportion to their perceived peers they wont be any more or less unhappy.

You covered the rich GOP and rich Dems as well.

$16 billion in tariff victim/US farmer welfare is mostly certainly and definitely lib propaganda.

“You may come visit your imprisoned grandmother in our apartheid ghetto if you promise not to speak badly about our apartheid state and our abuse of indigenous Palestinians, k?”

“May God ruin him” is quiet old-lady Arabic for “Fuck that orange-assed motherfucker”.

Is “antifa” a Frank Luntz creation? Is there ANY evidence they’re an organization of any kind?

This is just like my dad and me, only instead of hitting home runs for large sums of money, I’m an emotionally distant borderline alcoholic who can’t communicate a lifetime full of disappointment with a disengaged, functionally absentee parent. So cool!
