I worked with two guys who tried this. One got away with it for 3 months, one for 5 months. 15 years is insane.

The police literally smothered the life out of Eric Garner and George Floyd while they were pleading to be allowed to breath, and this idiot’s take away is “why are they all saying ‘I can’t breathe’” as opposed to thinking “Holy shit, the police are killing unarmed people in a slow, tortuous manner, with their bare…

Since the U.S. started a war that began with the slogan “no taxation without representation”, I assume that the Repubs in the Senate will offer a counter-proposal where all residents of DC are exempt from federal income taxes. Seems only fair, and since I know that they are all folks of honor and good faith, I will…

But what if my daughter doesn’t win in a track race? How will we ever survive?

My great-grandfather was involved in the “Indian Wars”, i.e. taking lands from Native Americans and killing as many as possible under the veil of fighting insurrection.

“I have a dream, that some day, crazy Christian Black folks will be as crazy as crazy Christian white folks with a sense of entitlement and delusions of inside knowledge of God’s plan, which of course includes God’s intention for them to be treated like a VIP by the universe.”

Are there any lawyers or law experts out there that can explain to me why there is a two month break before sentencing? Seems like a week or two would be enough to file motions, make sentencing recommendations, check precedents, etc.

Hmm, random drug search. Can the cops help it if POC are more random than white people?!? /s

This is obviously the right verdict, but one instance of justice does not make the system just. It’s great that his fellow officers came out to testify against him, but doing the right thing once doesn’t mean the blue wall of silence has been destroyed. It is great that one sociopathic cop is off the force, but there…

BLM: Can we please get the police to stop shooting innocent Black folks.

Paris Hilton’s Pivot to NFT Influencer

Michael,

So, Waters has asked for people to be active, confrontational. That sounds like she is asking people to be persistent in their protests. Maybe some boycotts, maybe a few marches and pickets. I’m not seeing the calls for violence that the insurrection-supporters are getting all worked up about.

If you want insight into Watson’s behavior, read the article on SI.com from a massage therapist who is not suing, but decided to tell her story after Watson came out with his “I always act like a gentleman” comments. In the article, she describes how he was trying to turn the massage into a sexual encounter, and she…

Yes, as part of the Biden’s sanctions on Russia, the Treasury Dept. released a comprehensive memo detailing the sanctions, and as part of that memo included the fact that Paul Manafort -Trump’s Campaign Director at the time— gave polling and campaign plan data to Konstantin Kilimnik, and “political consultant” who is…

Peleton engineer: And we’ll be sure to cover the rear of the tread so no objects, pets or small children get pulled underneath.

Every treadmill I’ve ever seen has the back of the tread covered, so nothing can get sucked under. This thing looks carefully designed for stuff to get sucked under it. Crazy bad design.

Yeah, that’s seems a lot more rational analysis of the history. I guess the 3/5 were the part that did the work, and other 40% were the getting paid and getting to vote parts.

So, part of their Anglo-Saxon pride must be funneling election polls and plans into the hands of the Russian intelligence so that they can better target their disinformation campaign. Oh, and the NRA that they all get hot for, they take money from Putin too.

Reminds of Dave Chappelle’s “How old is 15" bit. Very funny, but also pretty fucking enlightening and infuriating. Worth a watch.
