It would be a lot easier if we could all come together and hate the Russian government together.
Well, half of us love everything about Russia, because it pisses off the other half. Pain and hate. That’s your currency. Everything else is worthless. -
I understand the reasoning of the schadenfreude, I just don't agree with it and believe it's harmful due to it's dehumanizing effect. It's the same reason I despise Trumpism.
Mayor Pete recently touched on this topic when he said people in Indiana voted for Trump despite their dislike for the man because they just wanted to wreck shop. Not all Trump voters are MAGA enthusiasts, some are just raging against the machine. Trump benefited and continues to thrive off of class tension, I worry that the spite from many Democrats will continue to feed that tension the feeds Trumpism.
And decency has worked so well.
Face it. The only currency with any value in this market is hate and pain. We tried building a system that grew, and rewarded progress. It failed. This is what we have now. -
Maybe the MAGAts do check for this kind of stuff and don't care.
Were talking about a governor who ordered Texas law enforcement to keep an eye on American troops on maneuvers in Texas...because they might invade America or something. These people masturbate to insane conspiracy theories. They sure as shit aren’t going to turn against them.-

political foes of @realDonaldTrump hoping to defeat him in 2020 by any desperate means possible.
desperate means like people voting?
Well, it doesn’t get any more outrageous than that. That’s why the GOP is heroically defending the beautiful, magnificent United States by making sure that people don’t vote. You’re welcome. -
I'm going out on a limb here. Chick-Fil-A is not a public entity. They are private. I have always thought that businesses should be allowed to do business with whoever they want. I know the law says that you can not discriminate on the basis of race, religion, creed, etc. But I think they should be able to. In this day of social media, those who refuse to do business with someone "different" than themselves will suffer. Yes, in Podunk, MS or Bumfuck, AL where there is only one baker who does wedding cakes and decides they wont make them for a non-white, straight Christian couple, the non-white straight Christian couples who want cakes will need to seek other avenues.
But guess what? Some of those white, straight Christians out there will not like that and will do business with Mary Beth Jenkins, the cake maker who sells to ANYONE. And in bigger towns and cities, those companies who wont do business with non-white, straight Christians will see their business dry up as the rest of us who don't give a shit what people look like, who they worship or who's dick they suck (or don't) will support them because they produce a good product at a fair price.
That is how the world works now.
We’d like to think so. We’ve seen that it’s not true.
Give this society permission to be shamelessly racist, and it will run with that like a fucking greyhound. You’ll have a shitload of places and areas that become Jim Crow as hell. -
Yeah, this makes sense.
The core belief and joy of the MAGA crowd is inflicting pain on others: “sweet lib tears,” “he’s hurting the wrong people!” etc. If other people aren’t being made to suffer (yeah, show those wetbacks! All lives matter, you f’n thugs! Fuck your feelings!), then Trump is failing.
So, forgive us if we experience smiling schadenfreude when those who gleefully cheer other people’s suffering actually experience some suffering themselves.
Reaping what you sow and all that.-

This is one of those cases where the shoot is justifiable once the cop engaged her. But the broader question and one we probably ought to ask more often is should the cop have engaged her at alll?
On the one hand, the warrants provide ample legal justification for the arrest. On the other, the same knowledge on the part of the cop (her legal history) probably indicates that this was a less than ideal circumstance to arrest this individual.
Tragic but interesting case.

This. I think most of us will agree that ONCE THE ENGAGEMENT WAS ON, the shoot is very likely justifiable. Now that THAT'S settled, the engagement question is the one to address.

Ok. Let's assume that he knows she is schizo, and that she has a history of violence (previous interactions or arrests). He also knows she has warrants, but he sees that she is having an episode ("I'm pregnant!") and lets her go home without arresting her then.
Everybody happy so far?
And then she ends up seriously hurting or killing someone at her home - just like the 22-yr-old guy recently who had a mental breakdown and was released with medication to his mother but then cut off her head with a hacksaw.
( http://www.fox4news.com/news/denton-man-allegedly-decapitated-mom-with-hacksaw )
All of you would be complaining about the cop not doing his job and arresting her instead of letting her go.
Yes, he probably could have handled it much better and either maintained control or gotten backup before attempting to cuff her, but once the incident got out of control it was pretty much fated to end that way.There's something in between your scenarios of "let her go home" and "take her on here and now." And you allude to it in your last sentence. Maintain distance. Keep talking to her. Get some backup.
Shit, I remember 30 years ago, at the MLK and 26th Jack in the Box getting my 2 for 99 cent tacos on (drunk) when some (drunker) dude walks up to me and my buddies and tells me to step outside, he's gonna kick my ass. Long story short, I didn't much feel like the buzzkill of a 3:00 a.m. parking lot fight, so I talked the guy down. I just kept talking, till he decided he didn't want to fight anymore. I didn't say anything magical, I just wore him down. And that's not exactly a secret ninja technique. It's a commonly-used tactic when dealing with an irrational/unbalanced person. Some training in "how to deal with a mentally ill person in a way that both protects you and third parties AND avoids the likelihood of physical harm to the mentally ill person" would be good.
12 hours ago, Modessit said:Btw - I heard on the radio that while she did get the taser, she did not fire it.
From what I understand, the whole taser issue is a red herring. It deploys the probes into the target, then administers the charge. Once that's been done, it can't just be fired again. So even if she got a hold of it, it didn't matter -- it was functionally inert.

Well, if any of you smartasses have a BETTER idea on how to get a Lambo, I'd like to hear it.

Now he says he misspoke and he understands there's no such thing as "consensual rape." He also said that only 1 or 2% of the rape cases he handled involved "strangers jumping out of the bushes."
Guess what, gentlemen. If a woman consents to have sex with you and you start to do something she doesn't want, like anal for example, and she tells you to stop and you don't, you're a rapist, every bit as much as a guy who grabs a random jogger and rapes her. Same thing if it's a date and you're making out on the couch and she tells you to slow down and you don't. There's no equivocating on this. Calling it "date rape" doesn't make her any less of a victim or him any less of a monster.
It's shocking and disgusting to hear this from a guy who adjudicated actual sexual assault cases. And it's no wonder why so many rapes go unreported. "They need to live with the consequences of their actions"? Are you fucking kidding me?
And why is it ALWAYS a Republican who says something like this? Every single time. In the unlikely case that there's a Republican woman reading this, I implore you to consider which of those things means more to you: being a woman or being a Republican. Because they're at odds on almost every level right now and you have a choice to make.
“He says what I’m thinking!”
This is the Republican id, let loose. -
Some of you think degeneracy is your ally. You merely adopted the degeneracy. I was born in it, molded by it. I have yet to see the light.
I like it...but dude, it’s a frijoles burrito. It’s kind of a baseline...like a pbj is for white folks. If you COULDN’T make a decent bean burrito, we’d have issues. -

Among voters with a favorable opinion of Trump:
-65% think President Obama is a Muslim, only 13% think he’s a Christian.
-59% think President Obama was not born in the United States, only 23% think that he was.
-27% think vaccines cause autism, 45% don’t think they do, another 29% are not sure.
-24% think Antonin Scalia was murdered, just 42% think he died naturally, another 34% are unsure.
-7% think Ted Cruz’s father was involved in the assassination of JFK, 55% think he was not involved, another 38% are unsure.
Public Policy Polling surveyed 1,222 registered voters from May 6th to 9th. The margin of error is +/-3.2%. 80% of participants, selected through a list based sample, responded via the phone, while 20% of respondents who did not have landlines conducted the survey over the internet through an opt-in internet panel.

It seems there are multiple options for this sale: different percentages available, including or not including some real estate, etc.
You can tell, because each prospectus has multiple colored stickers on the cover telling you what's included in the deal.

Also, I kinda wonder why folks aren't taking actions against states like Alabama that force the state to take either inconsistent legal positions or at least absurd positions. Alabama has taken the clear legal position that a fetus is a human life from the moment of conception.
For example, a pregnant woman is arrested and detained (she can't afford bail, etc., so she stays in custody). File a writ of habeas corpus on behalf of Fetus Jones. The state of Alabama can have no legal basis to detain Fetus Jones. As Fetus Jones is a human being, the detention of Fetus Jones is unquestionably unlawful.
To go even further, sue the Alabama Department of Prisons for providing an insufficient diet to help Fetus Jones grow (fetal growth requires significant nutrition that is likely not available in prison food).
Need a friendly local DA to charge a man who had unprotected sex with a woman he knows to be a drug user, or alcoholic, for child endangerment.
Surely there are plenty of equal protection claims, or due process claims, that could likewise arise from other state actions.
Alabama chose to enter the Stupidity Decathlon. Make them compete, and fall on their ass, in every event.

Donald Trump 2019
in Cloak Room
Posted
Not only is that guy not to be punished...he’s lionized by the Trumpist masses. They’re not uncomfortable with a man in uniform who guns down civilian girls....THEY FUCKING LOVE IT. It’s raghead killing time! Git some!
Again...this isn’t about sympathy for a soldier who went wrong. It’s hero-worship of someone they think did something RIGHT. Chew on that for a bit. Our POTUS thinks war criminals are heroes, and the people cheer him.
