I’ve done this the past couple years and I highly recommend it if you can do it. I’m really bummed that I won’t be able to do it this year. My birthday happens to fall around election times and a couple years ago, during the mid term elections, along with other life stuff happening I decided I wanted to get away from…

They’re not frightened most of the time. They just say they are because that “justifies” all actions in the courts.

If you are going to even *try* to say *anything* in defense of spraying civilians with pepper spray for exercising the right to peacefully assemble for a redress of grievances, then you have already crossed the line, and torn up the Bill of Rights, and spat on the American Flag, and dishonored the memories of those…

They traded the fire hoses and dogs for pepper spray and rubber bullets. As it was true back then and will be proven true once again, the police of the United States are on the wrong side of history.

Every time a piece of shit republican tells me America is the greatest country on earth, I’m going to pull out the printed copy of this photo that I keep laminated and printed in my wallet, and explain what it is.  It won’t do anything but I’ll do it anyways.

You described Trump dude.

Yeah suppress their vote for freedom and democracy!

Imagine being so frightened of little children that you need tear gas to handle them. What a bunch of fucking cowards.

Every single cop in that department needs to thrown in prison. Even the ones that weren’t there. There’s no saving that department, toss them all in the brig. 

I’m sure no one would mind of you picked a few stories to share every day this week. I feel like I read all of them, but last I checked there were over 1,800 comments so I fear I missed something good.

Hi, author here. We’ve gone over this a few times but hey, let’s do it again! I posted my original story Oct. 7 last year, including the photo. I’d originally intended to submit it for the contest but missed the deadline, and someone recommended I repost this year to see if it got in, which it did. Yay! Someone…

Not vying for the contest, but the Ouija story brought back my own Oujia memories...

Well, she didn’t really provide any juicy soundbites that could be used against her, and came off as fairly composed and intelligent.  She also didn’t get credibly accused of sexual assault and didn’t end her hearings screaming about how much she loved beer and vowing revenge against the left wing.  Also, Dianne…

Another reason to side eye polls.

This is why Democrats lose. See also: Biden considering Republicans for Cabinet positions. Which Cabinet positions are Democrats in under Trump who had an underwhelming mandate of losing the popular vote and winning the decisive states in the EC by <1% each?

That book...er...thing they’re shoving into Lesley Stahl’s hands looks like the biggest waste of paper since the stacks and stacks of the stuff (likely just bought from Staples) that our big boy president trotted out to show how he wasn’t somehow going to be involved with his company while in office.

Only 1,994 people were polled, which is why polling can be skewed.

Support for Amy Coney Barrett’s confirmation has risen 18 points among Democrats

Hi! I worked as a tech in a psych ward for 6 years. I can’t tell you how many men and women I’ve seen violent as all get out coming in and sweet as pie on the way out after proper treatment. It seems like this guy was both ill and dangerous. He was threatening the story teller. He mentioned himself that he had shots…

I thought about submitting this story last year, but truthfully, it felt too fresh in my mind. Even now, over a year later, I still feel a pit in my stomach when I think about it.
