Capital police isn’t going open up on a bunch of white suburbanites. The fact that she was only one shot confirms that shit. But you know if the were facing down one black person instead of hundreds of armed white ones standard procedure would be everybody keeping firing til it goes click.  

Why are the stupidest people so confident? Where does that come from, that sense of confidence that they are good people who mean no harm and can’t be blamed for the shit they do?

My favorite genre of music is white poeple singing the ballad of I’ve Never Seen Racism So It Doesn’t Exist. Always a banger.

An entire summer of BLM protests and not one police officer was killed during any of them. Meanwhile these law and order douchebags with their blue lives matter patches murder a federal law enforcement officer who got in their way.

I have issues with calling Stacy Abrams a superhero.

Gaetz is the one with the adult  “son” who is actually his ex-girlfriend’s brother, who is like only ten years younger than him, and whose actual father is still living, right?  Or is that Devin Nunes?

Democracy means sometimes you lose elections. If you don't recognize that, you aren't participating in a Democracy.

It’s almost like the voting rights act was still necessary after all. Who could possibly have predicted that.

This is a really stupid point, but whenever these Fundamentalist Christian Trump lovers are asked about supporting a thrice-married, adulterer (raw-dog with porn stars, for extra sin-value), crude, prideful, narcissistic liar; they often come back to “God is using the sinner for his purposes” kinda nonsense.

Apparently when the Democratic leadership tried to reach out to Pence about invoking the 25th Amendment, he realized that this was a moment of true leadership... And chose to not answer those phonecalls.

I used to think “this is not who we are.” Then I realized what I was saying is “this is not who I wish we were.”

Natalicchio confirmed to The Root that about 20 police officers were present but did not intervene in the mobbing—prompting her and two other bystanders to ultimately rescue Nibo.

You can’t have second thoughts when you never have first ones.

Two decisions, one at the founding of this country, the other at the refounding following the civil war, have been a shadow over the entire political history of this country.

You know who else worked to elect Warnock and should be feeling pretty good today?

because who could have figured “Actively work to make a pandemic worse and kill as many Americans as possible” and “Refuse over and over, as loudly and publicly as possible, to provide any meaningful relief to struggling Americans during a pandemic” would not have been winning strategies?

Which is unfortunate because it seems like basically the entire reason he “married” her was so she could get some of his money and be taken care of, as thanks for taking care of him. It wasn't a real marriage, it was a gift.

Instead of doing a worse version of other restaurants’ foods, why not bring more of their international foods over? I’ve wanted the fried paneer sandwich since I read about it here. It’s a giant slab of fried cheese! That’s like as American as it gets!
