  1. I watched a portion of the Jeffrey Epstein documentary and good Lord Alex Acosta is an evil man. So it only makes sense that Donald Trump would have made him part of is administration.  Also, Dershowitz is really a piece of shit.

    About 10 years ago I had my house burglarized 2 times. The only help the police were was writing a simple 2 minute police report for me to give to my insurance to get a payout. That's literally it. They did nothing else. Never caught anyone and never got a single item back even though I had a serial numbers list

    I think outsideof divisions like homicide they pretty much see themselves as only a money-making venture at this point. Rack up those tickets and busts to get forfeitures. 

     

    Without the police, you would not have received the insurance payout and would likely have been broken into more times. 

  3. 38% of Americans still favor Trump. 26% of Americans think the sun revolves around the earth.  I'm begging that if you did a Venn diagram of the two groups there would be significant overlap.

    If they go after Wunderground I am going to have to engage in open rebellion. I use that site every day. The 10-day forecast is greatness.

    Count me in the group that doesn't understand what the result is that he is looking for.

    No matter what race you are, the vast majority of the people in the country have to have some sort of profession in order to survive. He happens to be good at one that could potentially pay him very well and allow him to take care of his family and provide a platform where people will listen to him and read his tweets.

    If he quits football, he will still need to go have another job, football will still be played.

     

    I agree. It's all about the platform from which you speak. Brennan Eagles tweeting about racism while a star football player at Texas has a platform. Brennan Eagles tweeting about racism while not playing football is just another twtterer in the twitter verse. 

    Tommie Smith and John Carlos created the most memorable image of the 1968 Olympics because of the platform.  Had they done their black power salute in a parking lot in  Austin, it would not resonate quite the same way.

    Was he really safe there in 1980??


    Kilmeade apparently hasn't made it to the end of the Lennon biography he's reading.  The last 50 pages are going to be quite a surprise for him. 

    Also, you know things have reached a tipping point  when Black Lives Matter makes it to Fort Stockton, Texas.

    So let’s bring race back into the equation.

    We have documented incidents of white cops being racist and killing unarmed black men. As a result, the prevailing thought is that all cops are bad and white people are racist. At best, SOME cops are good, based on personal interactions or family relations.

    We have documented incidents of black people acting like violent criminals. Yet, the same transitive properties don’t apply. We don’t label all black people as bad based on the actions of some. We accept that, on a whole, black people are unfairly treated based on the actions of the minority of the population. This is a broad stroke applied that doesn’t necessarily have the benefit of personal interactions or family relations.

    This seems hypocritical and an argument based on emotion.


    I agree with this.  We ought not paint "the police," or anyone, with too broad a brush.

    And the police kill white people, too, just as they did Tony Timpa in Dallas a few years ago.

  8. Ike was commander of Allied Forces in Europe during World War II.

    Grant scrapped in the Mexican-American War and the, of course, led Union forces in the latter half of the Civil War.

    George Washington led the Continental Army during the Revolutionary War.

    Let's not forget Andrew Jackson's exploits or Zachary Taylor's. 

    Abe Lincoln? The man had no guts at all. 

    JFK voluntarily left a cushy life, joined the Navy,  was on a PT boat during WW II, and very nearly died.  George H.W. Bush left a cushy life to enlist in the Navy as a naval aviator, was shot down, rescued in the Pacific, then returned to fly more missions.  

    Obama ate at a Torchy's Tacos in Austin.

    But, yeah, Trump is the gutsy one.

  9. And I don't know a soul who's not been battered
    I don't have a friend who feels at ease
    I don't know a dream that's not been shattered
    or driven to its knees
    But it's all right, it's all right
    We've lived so well so long
    Still, when I think of the road
    we're traveling on
    I wonder what's gone wrong
    I can't help it, I wonder what's gone wrong
