Well, being pedantic, the primary modern role of the police is to keep certain segments of the population from being free.

That must be why Trump is so eager to attack John McCain - he’s living Trump’s dream.

At this point, we’d even settle for a 20th century electrical grid for Puerto Rico.

First, nothing in the video seems like he’s “acting hostile.” At best he’s pacing back and forth and, if you believe the police report, clenching his fists. He never attacked a cop, or made any move that seemed like he was about to.

I wonder if the failure to consider Confederates as fellow Americans was based on the Confederates withdrawing from America. Makes you think.

This is the theory of the Big Lie. If you’re going to take a side in a partisan battle, make it as naked and ridiculous as possible. That way ignorant people will say “OK, Fox is a little biased to the right, and MSNBC is a little biased to the left, so the truth is somewhere in between.” That only works if both sides…

Or this?

This all makes sense if you realize that Republicans view the process through two lenses.

It’s not like Donald was a nice old guy when she married him, who was later corrupted by politics. If you marry an old, egotistical, insecure, cheating racist for his money, you should be prepared to be married to an old, egotistical, insecure, cheating racist. No sympathy for her from these quarters.

“I have the worst fucking attorneys.”

Trump’s cronies are making that request to establish another point of perceived unfairness to later whine about, not because it has any basis in reality.

Attempted murder? Now, honestly, did they ever give anyone a Nobel Prize for “attempted chemistry”?

Marinade limits your ability to get a delicious crusty sear on the outside, though.

The release of the Comey memo probably had multiple effects. There were people who leaned for Hillary, but ended up not voting or voting for Jill Stein or whomever because they weren’t excited about supporting Hillary. And there were also people who were apathetic, but were convinced to go out and vote for Trump…

You’re completely correct that there’s only one or two LeBrons per generation that will instantly transform any given team into a Finals contender. But ask any Magic fan whether it was more fun watching Dwight Howard teams win 50 games or watching pre-Dwight teams win 25.

I think the missing piece of the explanation is that low-information voters don’t take in a lower level of each headline; they tend to only take in the biggest and easiest-to-interpret headlines. So something like “HILLARY EMAIL SCANDAL” in the week before the election will register much more strongly than an…

I personally know several people who have stated that they voted for Trump specifically because they didn’t trust Hillary or thought she was unethical.

You started this conversation by claiming that Facebook is biased against conservatives. So now you seem to be claiming that bigotry is equivalent to modern conservatism (hey, I won’t argue), or at the very least that you meant to say Facebook is biased against bigotry when you said Facebook is biased against…

In my opinion, this is an issue of deterrence. It seems to be incredibly hard to verify (or debunk) any particular score. So to tell a guy who cheated “we’ll rule out that score, but feel free to submit others” encourages people to try to cheat, because there are no real consequences. A full ban is harsh, but every…

Is someone more or less likely to get in a fatal auto accident when driving?
