Yes - you can be a good prosecutor or a bad prosecutor, but "being a prosecutor" is a job we need in order to have a functioning criminal justice system, and someone RUNNING FOR PRESIDENT should know that.

“I was a public defender. I didn’t become a prosecutor,” he said.

Joe: “My time’s up”

“States’ rights” - where have I heard that before?

Okay, let’s horse race the debate tonight, purely by performance.

Jim Crow survived for so long because of “local control!” How did he not know or care about that?

The second half of that interaction, wherein he valiantly tried to equivocate support for a state’s right to choose whether it would or would not create bussing policies with actual support for bussing policies, and then shut down and literally ceded the rest of his time because he couldn’t come up with a good way to

This tweet wins everything. I’m dying here.

See, all you have to do to make money is be one of the most famous performers in the world. The system is working!

And for what benefit? The “convenience” of being able to pay our bills online.

Organic produce uses a shitload of pesticides, some even more dangerous than synthetic ones. jus’ sayin’

They seem to be going through the same shit Harley Davidson is, minus (maybe) the overt macho-asshole-bullshit lifestyle branding. (not that I haven’t heard a few Gibson supporters hold up their end of that.)

Just singing into a bass drum mic that isn’t plugged in. Normal!

Juszkiewicz seems to have the business sense of your average snail. Gibson’s treatment of the Cakewalk music software - buy the company, leave it alone, and then shut it down - was a big waste of money and alienated a whole bunch of fans, just like his other decisions. The turnover rates at Gibson are mind-boggling,

They’re still trying to split the middle ground between boutique luthier guitars (handmade, US parts only, specifically sourced wood types) and mass manufacturing. Plus they’re a massive bureaucracy now, under the guidance of non-musician middle managers and bean counters, with seemingly no idea how to market to
