Tom Cotton is a sitting US Senator. He can espouse this view from any podium in the US Capitol, or from his office. His position affords him whatever publicity he desires. The NYT was not needed to ensure his views were heard.

So he was saying that because he has a primary coming up, he cares about whether he gets to speak or not. And, conversely, If he DIDN’T have a primary, he woudn’t care If anyone gets to hear his position on the Issue.

Chauvin had his knee on Floyd’s neck for 2 minutes after he was unresponsive and someone else was unable to find a pulse.

Third degree was an inaccurate charge that would have been dismissed. The language of third degree murder in Minn defines it as without any particular intended victim. For example: firing a gun at a crowd and not aiming at a specific person, which is obviously not the case here. That charge was chosen so that the…

Yep. There’s a reason why there was a statue erected of him. He was not so subtly letting people know that by “law and order” he meant beating up on minority people and everybody knew it. He didn’t even hide it- he was an out and out racist.

They WANTED it. My mom, who in all other aspects seemed pretty progressive and tolerant of race/sexual orientation/ethnicity, absolutely was in love with Frank (perhaps more than just from afar, but that’s another story). I remember being little, well before I knew anything about how awful he was, hearing glowing…

The Alabama AG promptly sued the City of Birmingham over the removal, if anyone is under any illusion that this is over.

Not sure if you’re from Philly or the Delaware Valley, and I’m fairly sure you’re were not alive for either event. I’m in no way condoning how Philly handled the MOVE stuff (particularly the Osage Ave. bombing) and I absolutely despise Rizzo (when he died, the running joke at work was we’re going to attend his public…

A huge part of me is wondering why any of us should give a damn about the royals and why in god’s name are we playing celebrity roulette and reading about this pathetic parade of Enquirer-esque reality tv idiocy. Shouldn’t we be better than this? Why would anyone care about these people. It’s embarrassing. Things that…

“I’ll pull a half-assed phonebank shift at night but I’ll write misleading, inflammatory headlines during the day. I’m helping!”

I will freely admit I started laughing pretty hard after reading that first paragraph as I almost instinctually knew that this was going happen. On Friday, Biden gave a speech about racial relations in the US which took many by surprise as it was a starkest speech about racial disparities in the US made by a…

Yeah, but the article started by a proclamation about how much the writer will to ensure Biden victory. So certainly she wouldn’t blatantly misrepresent what was being said in order to cast Biden in the worst light possible.

Black people are being killed in the street right now and Trump is calling for the goddamn Army to shoot them in the street, but sure Jezebel, lets willfully misinterpret something Biden said. NOTICE ME, SENPAI BERNIE OwO

“Instead of standing there and teaching a cop, when there’s an unarmed person coming at them with a knife or something, you shoot them in the leg instead of in the heart is a very different thing. There’s a lot of different things that could change” (https://news.yahoo.com/biden-suggests-police-could-shoot-assailants-i…

I’m sure you just accidentally omitted the second part of his statement, where he said, “coming at them with a knife or something.” No way you were trying to imply Joe Biden said the police are justified in shooting anyone, regardless if they are a threat or not. 

“Not only was the knee on George’s neck a cause of his death, but so was the weight of the other two police officers on his back”

You can argue about the appropriateness of spousal exemptions for estate taxes, but rich abuse victims don’t deserve justice?

Apparently she did it for months and wanted to find another ‘special needs’ kid that wasn’t as needy. People found her in the Special Needs Facebook Groups trawling for another one and called her out on it.

Oh and the bullshit about ‘not knowing his needs?’...Yea they knew.

I’m going to set up a fundraising campaign for dontchokeonyourwoke’s mother.

Maybe, maybe not.  The surer people are about this rumor, the less effort goes into the investigation.  :(
