Quirky historical note: The caravan was led entirely by gay and lesbian people who were the most desperate for safety.

She knowingly voted twice - because she believed she had to make up for the fraud happening elsewhere. The judge decided that her belief in the conspiracy theories was proof that she was too stupid and too crazy to go to prison.

These folks are walking for miles in 115-degree heat right past venomous rattlesnakes, but it’s going to be the non-venomous water snakes that really scare them all the way back home.

Most of that isn’t even arable land.

Regardless of sentencing, some things are certain:  This felony conviction will make it nearly impossible for her to carry a gun at any future job.  I don’t know that she needs to die in prison, but whatever job she gets in however many years should be something like a quiet office job where she interacts with almost…

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.

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

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.

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…
