I’ve peddled this theory on other stories, but I can’t wait to see how Sessions reacts to this. I think he believes this separation shit is just and righteous. He’s surely not going to be happy about the boss man putting an end to his noble pursuit of terrorizing brown folks securing the border. I still wouldn’t be…

Who makes the determination when it’s acceptable to publish people’s personal information online?

It’s been much rarer lately, but I love it when it comes back out of nowhere like this.

White guy here. All I can say is show me the lie.

There’s no defense of the horrific things the guy did, and it’s quite clear most of the eulogizing is from people who were at least partially blinded by his artistic qualities. Nobody should give a fuck about how talented he is if he’s a garbage person, although he’d obviously be pretty fucking far from the first to…

Huh? You’re not the speed police, and there is no moral or ethical justification for pretending to be. Letting faster traffic pass is at the very minimum a common courtesy, and everyone who has ever driven a car knows as much. If you hold up traffic in the left lane, you’re an inconsiderate asshole. If you defend that…

I think the people around him have convinced him he can’t fire Sessions just because of the Russia thing, and that it would lead to another Saturday Night Massacre chain of events. They can also argue to him that being up front about why he fired Comey led to the special counsel. I think all the hints and suggestions…

I live in Indianapolis, and I flash my lights at left lane cruisers almost every morning. Truth be told, I do it because it’s the equivalent of the double bird. By now I know they’re not going to get over. I don’t tailgate, so brake checking isn’t a concern. Usually when I’m passing them on the right I will give them…

Of course aggressive driving is more dangerous and egregious than cruising in the left lane. But the hazard is still caused by the person who created the situation in the first place. Impeding the flow of traffic is a hazard in and of itself, which is why it’s against the law in most states. They get over, there’s no…

Legal obligation, perhaps not. Moral or ethical obligation? Absolutely. Ethics and morality in this case are completely independent of the law. The moral and ethical thing to do is always to get the fuck over, regardless of what the law says.

I assume you mean maybe she was set up? I’d probably buy that. Unless she’s brand new to the restaurant, she would have surely known how the tickets print. I find it just as plausible that someone wanted to get her fired, given how drama can circulate in the service industry.

Of course it’s all on Trump. But you don’t think Trump will take the fall for this, at least in the short term, do you? He’ll make Sessions the scapegoat. He’s been looking for a reason to fire Sessions so he can replace him with someone who will put the Russia investigation to bed. Sessions is such a zealot, that…

Vlade? Sean Elliott? Those weren’t just some guys to remember. Pooh Richardson and Kenny Battle are Let’s Remember Some Guys.

Feels like this is the WH giving Sessions just enough rope to hang himself. They’ve let him lead the charge on this issue, and he’ll lead them to the edge of a cliff before they cut him loose and backtrack. Then they can hire a new AG to take over the Russia probe. Of course they don’t have any problem with what…

I think this is all Sessions, and could turn out to be the final straw for him. He definitely loves this policy. He has no problem defending it. Eventually Trump will get sick of the blowback, and it will serve as a convenient excuse to fire Sessions. Oh, it’s just a coincidence that he’d then be able to replace…

If you consider reasonable suspicion of having committed a crime to be due process, then you can’t say the people being detained for crossing the border illegally are being detained or separated from their children without due process.

I have no idea what the fuck you are talking about

Are you saying Comey transmitted classified information through his private email account? Because that’s a pretty fucking big stretch from what the IG report uncovered. I’d think the IG would have looked into that.

Of course they could easily not detain people or separate families who enter illegally. That’s the point. Even though the law allows for it, past administrations haven’t taken that approach.

If we’re going to start locking people up for these kinds of things, she’s pretty damn far down the list. I’d be ok with her going to the can if it means everyone above her is punished proportionally for their crimes.
