You have to take the full sentence, which also includes “without getting sued”. I agree that he should have been fired because of what he did, but he was not indicted by a grand jury, and the police department ruled the shooting “justified”. I strongly disagree with both the grand jury and department’s rulings, but…

I mean, they can give any reason they want, but the dude is getting fired because he shot and killed Tamir Rice, a child with an airsoft gun. This is just an easier way to do it. Just like at most companies, when you want to get rid of someone who is generally bad but may not have done any one thing that would allow…

I completely agree—these cars should be driven and enjoyed, not treated as investments from the second they roll off the lot. Porsches especially, since they’ve always kinda been the everyman’s sports car—well, not exactly every man, but there are many more lawyers, doctors and dentists that have driven Porsches…

Agreed! And even if we do recognize a right to own and keep firearms in the home, it’s not an unlimited right. There’s no constitutional right that protects the unlimited ability of anyone to sell a gun to anyone else, or that would otherwise prohibit more sensible regulation of licensed firearms dealers and private…

For a group of people who also tend to believe that any medicine, procedure, insurance provider or medical provider that in any way has anything to do with abortion is complicit in “murder”, the NRA, the firearms industry (although the two are basically one and the same), and their enablers in government seem to have…

Even Romney wouldn’t have done something this baldly plutocratic, and would likely have engaged in some sort of serious consultant-type analysis (using data, not beliefs) about what to fund and how to fund it. The Trump administration and the current ruling factions in congress are pure ideology masquerading as…

Interesting that he went with the Clinton-derangement-syndrome conspiracy theory, rather than Fox’s other favorite trope: the illegal immigrant criminal/murderer. I’m sure he could have gotten Kathryn Steinle’s parents to come on the show and give their $.02.

In a way, he’s not wrong. There is a poverty “state of mind”, also called “losing hope”. People (often rightfully) feel that they’ll never be able to better their own situation, because of lack of education (or access to education), inability to find a good paying job, a lack of affordable housing, and many other…

Another thing Sessions “forgot” to disclose: where the gold (is) at.

While legal victories in this arena are important, they’re often short-lived. They let the gerrymanderers know what is and isn’t allowed, so that next time they’ll find a way to accomplish their purpose in a way that will pass judicial review. While it’s important to fight this fight, a better fight is to push for…

And next, I’m sure Ross commented that the US has a lot to learn from countries like Iran and North Korea, where elected leaders have often been elected with greater than 100% of the vote...

It shouldn’t be this way, but if that’s what has to be done to get an interview, then I guess just do it or whatever is going to result in the best possible outcome for you.

I’d love to see Trump impeached (although then we’d have President Pence, or President Ryan if Pence goes as well), but I think it’s too soon to be calling for impeachment in an open session of congress. I think we have to be careful about a republican backlash against an over-eager democrat-led impeachment effort.

While it would be great to have someone like Larry as DA, I still don’t understand how anyone can hope to reform the entire system, if the entire system also includes the Philadelphia Police Department. I truly wish him the best of luck, but it would seem that only strong federal oversight and intervention can really…

For me it’s only troubling because it reminds me of the more unsavory aspect of the Clintons, and a big reason why Hillary was so disliked. I don’t think it’s actually going to corrupt Obama, but it gives ammunition to his detractors, and they will use it against him—unfairly, in my opinion, but it will still…

Whether not these executive orders actually have any legal effect, they can’t discriminate between religions. So any gift to Catholics or Evangelical Christians is also a gift to Orthodox Jews, Muslims, Scientologists (as long as they retain their classification as a religion), and all other religious groups. I’m…

I get the whole “give a man a fish vs. teach a man to fish” argument, but what’s the lesson here? It’s more like, “you’d better fucking learn how to fish, and I’m not going to teach you so you’d better figure that shit out for yourself”.

Just ask your AG, Jefferson Beauregard Sessions, he’ll give you the answer you want to hear...

And what are the chances that the “group of donors” is Robert & Rebekah Mercer?

or how in many states 16 year olds can be tried and sentenced as adults...
