It’s bad enough that cops pulled a 16 year old out of class and interrogated him while unaccompanied (and even worse that the particular 16 year old had cognitive issues). Even his mother shouldn’t have been allowed to give consent to allow him to be interrogated—she wasn’t capable of understanding the charges…

In Trump’s America, there are only “The Rich” and “The Poor”, “Winners” and “Losers”—no room for the middle class in our modern Gilded Age.

They may very well be right—they now know the prosecution’s entire case (and likely which jurors were swayed by which information), and where to focus their efforts. The potential jury pool for this trial will also likely be influenced by dispatches from the last trial, and whatever media campaign the Cosby team is…

What about Alex Jones’ implication that both he and Megyn (sic) Kelly are “journalists”? Why is nobody talking about that? That’s the real conspiracy here—that these people are being presented as “journalists” when in fact they are pundits at best, in addition to being ill-informed, willfully ignorant and willfully…

The NRA is a front for the gun industry. They’ve done a fantastic job of perverting the issue of gun ownership into a gun-buying frenzy that continues to line their pockets.

Love the wagon renaissance! I think it makes sense, if luxury carmakers are trying to bring back the wagon, to change their perception from “mommy-mobile” (even though that’s been minivans and SUVs/Crossovers for a while) to performance vehicles for people who love driving cars but need the extra storage space of an…

So they’d be looking at a federal minimum of $7.25/hr minus whatever deductions would be legal to make for room and board, etc. There may be some jobs that they would do, however, that a higher wage might be warranted (if they’re doing work that is particularly valuable, and other jobs that might not warrant pay at…

It’s slavery force anyone to work without pay, incarcerated or not. Slavery is wrong in all circumstances. There are wayyyyy too many people that have been convicted for crimes they didn’t commit, or were convicted (including pleading guilty) due to inadequate legal representation. On this we should all be able to…

ok now we’re getting somewhere. If the above is true, then in a normal administration, he probably wouldn’t get confirmed. In this one, however, it’s anyone’s guess.

Ok, so then can we at least get some kind of ruling that makes it clear that he can’t be president, so we don’t have to watch another one of his campaigns?

I know, I just wanted to point out how crazy he looks and sounds nowadays.

So does this mean that we can now send Ted Cruz packing back to Canada?

I mean, that’s probably what any good defense attorney would do in this situation. They can’t argue that these things didn’t happen, because they did and that’s been well-documented, so the only thing that’s left is attacking the credibility of the accuser and claiming that the events in question were consensual. The…

So we’re going to start seeing POTUS tweet about “failing Breitbart”? Yeah, I’m not holding my breath either.

So far, none of this seems disqualifying. He’s probably towards the “more qualified” end of the spectrum as it relates to Trump appointees, considering that he actually has some experience in federal law enforcement. I realize that I’ve lowered my expectations when I say this, but there are plenty of worse people…

Is Sessions going to get cucked (am I using that correctly?) for being too PC? Which way is up? What’s going on here?

A lot of this in politics, rather than just the media, also starts with the Newt Gingrich playbook (surely influenced in part by Rush Limbaugh) to take back the house where he advised his fellow republicans to always make sure to refer to democrats as “liberal”, rather than by name, or “congressman/congresswoman”. …

This strain of toxic masculinity and liberal/elite bashing has become a winning playbook for the republicans recently, but I suppose it was always there in hibernation, a beast just waiting to be woken up. Many republican voters seem to be responding to the liberal/elite bashing, which if nothing else is probably a…

This sounds straight-up illegal and pervy. Stop and frisk is legal when the police have reasonable suspicion that a crime has been or is about to be committed, but is really only supposed to be primarily concerned with making sure that the person stopped doesn’t have a weapon. I can’t really think of any concealed…

Exactly. No matter the number of people he personally murdered, or had murdered by his goons, or the amount of illegal liquor he bootlegged, he went down for tax evasion.
