Even the vice president told him not to release the rough transcript.  Mike Pence is such a wet noodle.  He has no role in this administration, and yet there’s a slim chance he could suddenly become president.

I would like to see these surveys paired with questions about the word “impeachment.”  How many people understand that the word means “investigate” and not “remove from office”?  I think a lot of the resistance to impeachment - especially from centrists and independents - is due to their confusion about the word.  My…

In this country and elsewhere, a lot of people give deference to all leaders.  He’s the president, and you’re supposed to support the president.  They’re cops, so they must be telling the truth.  My doctor said so, and even though I don’t understand it, I would never ask that question.  etc., etc., etc.

Some Republican Congressman will take a snowball out of his kitchen freezer and say that it’s proof the hurricane doesn’t exist.

Cops could get more respect if they didn’t run websites like that psychotic shit!  They have no self-awareness.

Have you heard music before?

She has been vocally racist for such a long time that her neighbors have restraining orders against her.  This was not due to wine, this was not a momentary slip-up.  Courts have already ruled against her.  This is a pattern.

I probably wouldn’t have filmed an extended video, but I absolutely would have photographed her license plate. Forget about the entertainment part and just gather specific bits of useful evidence.

Wow. A white woman repeatedly telling American-born Italian-Americans that they should “go back” to where they came from. That’s some extra-level racism right there. How does she not understand that her English / German / whatever people aren’t from here either?

Silver lining: If she gets a felony conviction, it will be very difficult / impossible for her to get another gun. Without a gun, it would become difficult to be a cop elsewhere.

Her coworkers ran that “survey.”  I’ll trust an independent statistician before I trust her friends.  It’s disgusting that people give it so much weight.

I remember vividly the moment in the early 2000s when someone handed me a free promotional t-shirt for Google, and I said, “This is stupid! They spelled it wrong!” It’s not important that I didn’t take the t-shirt, but OMG my snide attitude....

I don’t know. On rare occasions, Donald Trump reminds me of my grandmother right before she died. Her dementia made her confused, but she wasn’t stupid.

I don’t think any of the American Ivy Leagues have charged anyone anything to attend who comes from a household that isn’t in the top 5-10% of earners nationwide for quite some time.

The list includes species that live in Asia and North America. Like... enormous, very healthy populations of plants. That’s not the meaning of the word extinction.

Right. Why are we talking about in-school policies? There are already state and federal laws that should be applied here.  

HALF of the people don’t know where they live?

I hope that was a joke? Courts aren’t legally allowed to hold hearings when the defendant can’t interact. These are courts with specific rules. Google Translate wouldn’t have met the standard, so it would’ve been an illegal trial. Judges can’t just write new rules on a whim, and that would risk appeals. This is why…

I often wonder about the fate of one particular refugee covered in the news more than a year ago.... He’s Albanian, and the U.S. government wouldn’t hire an Albanian-speaking translator at the court. The man just sat in detention. Eventually, he asked them to allow him to have a Spanish-speaking translator because his…

In order for Trump to be “finished,” at least 2/3 of the Senate has to care about this.  The Republicans will protect each other.  (Before we get to that point, Trump will lie literally 10,000 more times, and there will be another 100 scandals.  The Republicans are counting on these distractions.)  Trump is totally…
