If he has the right coverage and a decent company, it would. Keep in mind, though, that if he’s covered for the loss, the insurance company will cut him a check even if Toyota gives him a new truck. And while the truck is taxable as income, the insurance payout is not. He could conceivably pay the taxes on the truck…

Technically it would depend on the terms of his policy and the coverages he carries. Under the circumstances, most of the top tier companies would cover it - way cheaper to write a check than to risk having the stories make the news. Some of the lower tier companies, probably not. Their customers generally don’t have…

Call me silly, but I can’t help but feel that the hypocrisy of the conservative outrage doesn’t really do a thing to make Davidson’s joke any better.

Good thing that no one called any of these races, then. 

Y’all have no idea how wonderful it’s gonna be knowing that my rep will be Sharice Davids instead of Kevin Yoder.

No, what none of these racists are would be actual proponents of small government. They absolutely adore humonguous, monumental, intrusive government, the more authoritarian the better.

Especially when four paragraphs of it consists of, “Let me tell you why it’s perfectly OK for her to have done this.”

It’s certainly hard to imagine anyone who plans to end their afternoon by going out in a blaze of sociopathic glory stopping to say, “Dang, this is a death penalty offense? Well, never mind, then.”

Oh, dear lord and sweet baby jeebus. Queen Latifah is 5'10, weighs around 180, and wears a size 16-18. There is no world where this does not qualify as plus size. 

This is very possibly the most ridiculous thing in the world to be worried about, unless you think it’s actually possible for the entire internet to go up in a poof of smoke. There’s literally dozens if not hundreds of ways to share documents like a voter registration roster.

“Is there widespread and worldwide Christian unanimity on what true Christians do, how they behave?”

Jeezus, all those fucking Scots in the Carolinas. That’s why I have roughly 497 cousins named Duncan, Angus, Neil, or Hugh.

And to be very blunt, unless those officers have been on restricted duty all this time (which to be fair, is a possibility in a department as big as Sacramento), this investigation was for all practical purposes completed months ago. It would be insane to hand someone a gun and put them back out on the street if there…

“I don’t understand how it’s allowed that the investigation is not handled by a third party, the FBI for instance.”

You haven’t spent much time down south, have you? Nicknames like Bubba are almost completely disconnected from any sort of meaning, just like no one considers the meaning of Tom or Ralph.

And unless the bomb maker decides to talk, we’ll never know - and even then, it’s a bit iffy. I mean, even if he says “I only wanted to scare them,” it’s still more than a little bit possible that he’s only making such a claim in an effort to minimize his culpability. 

Which sounds nifty keen and all, except for the minor detail that no crime has been committed. Despite what Mango Mussolini keeps telling you, it’s legal to seek asylum in the United States, no matter how you get here.

Children are placed with grandparents and other relatives every day of the damn week, especially when the custodial parent has actually given permission for the arrangement. The idea that for some reason this is impossible now is basically just silly. 

“’I’m not sure why the grandmother is in Atlanta is she entered illegally, so releasing her to someone possibly still being processed may not be an option.”

Except, funny thing - if the grandmother hadn’t been able to prove her own identity, she wouldn’t have been released in the first place. Or I suppose we could ask the child’s mother, who we know perfectly well how to contact, but gosh, what fun would that be?
