Why even give them the option? Why isn’t the body camera just always on?

And some mechanism to prevent them from just going to another city or another state and becoming a cop again there.

Could be, but I think it could also be an attempt to sabotage the whole bill by making demands that he KNOWS McConnell won’t agree to. Then, if they don’t revisit the bill, he can veto it and pretend he has a good reason. I’m not sure why he would want to kill the bill, but I could imagine its an attempt to screw over…

You know, given how awful his ideas and values are, I kind consider it a blessing that he was also lazy and incompetent. But point take, the guy has all the time and energy in the world for tweeting, sucking up to Putin, and trying to destroy democracy, not so much for addressing the pandemic.

Yep. I can really sum it up with a brief version of a story I told on here under another burner account. I spent years and years listening to my conservative acquaintances bitch about Obama and liberals. I really tried to listen and understand. One day, I finally got a bit fed up with all the “need to protect myself” r…

Same. I made the offhand comment to my dad in like 2017 that I’ll never trust American voters again, and he thought I was overreacting and 2016 was an aberration. For once I wish I wasn’t right :-/

Democrats are in a difficult position when it comes to this relief bill. There’s an election that will determine control of the Senate in a couple weeks. On the one hand, it’d be good to insist on a more generous relief package and force Loeffler and Purdue to explain to Georgia voters why they’re opposed to giving…

What makes me angry is that some business owners are too stupid to realize that extending this benefit has probably saved your company a ton of money in the long run, both because of lost work time and the inevitable turnover. Turnover alone can cost a company 50-75% more in business cost that year than keeping a…

51 days - how long it took Republicans to ram through tax breaks for the rich & corporations in 2017.
30 days - how long it took Republicans to rush Amy Coney Barrett onto the Supreme Court.
219 days - how long the Republicans have been sitting on the relief package passed by the Democrat-majority House of…

There is no person I hate more than Yertle the Evil Turtle. I feel physical fury and repulsion whenever I see his picture. It’s so bad that I actually feel distressed by how much I hate him. Like, I wish I hated him less so I wouldn’t have to feel this way. It’s just another of the many ways his existence has…

This makes me so angry. My employer is going above and beyond, in that we’re getting fully paid for quarantine while we

At this point, McConnell could pass a law that says that all KY residents have to allow him into their homes and watch while he takes a Taco Bell dump on the kitchen table and urinates on your children, and the idiots in KY will still vote him in.

After the 2016 election, I had a hard time walking around and looking at other humans and wondering which ones did THAT. And then it kind of got washed over and excused with how stupid those voters were.

I was thinking exactly the same thing. Had someone called and said some random Black dude was harassing people with his indistinguishable fake gun we would be reading how the police shot him before they could ascertain that the driver wasn't in fact even carrying a weapon and the police are heroes for shooting an…

And this shit...

Guy carrying a BB gun “indistinguishable” from a real gun and lives to tell the tale?  Oh, white.  Got it.

“He was concerned about the driver speeding, so he wanted to ask him to slow down and so he found him and did that, but the driver yelled at him and he yelled back.”

“Skylar” is an under 40 Karen don’t @ me.
