Re: BREAK-IN AT PELOSI HOUSE

On the bright side, he wasn't picking up DUIs and running people over after getting hammered last night. So, this means he deserved to have a mentally-disturbed Q-Anon follower break into his house and try to kill him and his wife? "Deserved" is a little on the nose, but I do appreciate t...

Re: Twitter board agrees to $44 billion sale to billionaire Tesla founder Elon Musk

I don't have a Twitter account, so I have no horse in this race. But I do look forward to the collapse of Twitter (and Meta). The phrase "and nothing of value was lost" is often over used, but it is perfect in this scenario.

Re: Texas: Three adults and 18 children killed in deadliest school shooting in state's history

The police wouldn't have to restraint parents to rush head on into the school if the police themselves were actually doing that themselves. I completely understand why the parents felt a desire to rush in to the school themselves, but the cold hard truth is that if they HAD done that, with the gunm...

Re: Texas: Three adults and 18 children killed in deadliest school shooting in state's history

Re: Federal Law Enforcement Use Unmarked Vehicles To Grab Protesters Off Portland Streets

I don't care about Trump's supporters. Anyone who's still backing him now will likely keep backing him right up to gas chambers, and they can go fuck themselves. It's quite sad that there are plenty of people who still back Trump - most of what I have seen are poor, white, and uneducated. This is a...

Re: Joss Whedon's reputation continues to crumble, accused of "gross, abusive" behavior on Justice League set.

All I can recall is that:
1. Ran off of Twitter because his fanbase got pissed at the portrayal of Black Widow.
2. Serially cheated on his wife of 15 years.
3. Made fun of teen cancer survivors.

There is probably more, but he certainly does come across as a the left version of the Anti-gay preacher.

Re: Conflict erupts at Minneapolis, L.A. protests over George Floyd death

This is not, of course, anything remotely approaching a complete or perfect solution. But some of these steps, particularly the end of qualified immunity and holding officers personally liable, seem like a good step. But the police will be afraid of doing their jobs and letting the guilty walk free...
