Exactly. Even with a slam dunk case, sometimes cops want an extra edge. I can’t help but think of how it went down for OJ Simpson with police NOT doing what they were supposed to do and screwing the whole thing up.

Ha! They’ll take it from the workers AND raise the prices of whatever products they’re selling then pass the cost onto us for a tidy bit of extra profit. The leeches have to suck as much blood out of us as possible.

I’ve been thinking of it like what happened to Nicolai Caucescu. Sure, his death shouldn’t have happened and he should have had a trial for his crimes, corruption, and abuses of power; but, Romania came out better afterwards.

It’s so weird how they allow January 6th insurrectionists to have GoFundMes with no problems. Very weird indeed.

I contend that most things wrong with America can be attributed to a few people, two of them of Richard Nixon and Ronald Reagan. A stupid healthcare system? Nixon. College costing so much? Reagan showed Nixon by doing while California as governor. The war on drugs? Nixon and Reagan. The housing crisis? Reagan’s finance sector deregulation. High wealth disparity? Reagan’s business regulations.

If you know people in New York and Pennsylvania, tell them to spread the idea of jury nullification.

I guess that McDonald’s is gonna see a sharp decline in customer volume now which is already probably low since it was like 8 bucks for a sausage, egg, and cheese McMuffin meal the last time I went a few months ago.

The federal judge presiding over the church’s bankruptcy, Meredith Grabill, at one point ruled that the seal on case-related information was so sacrosanct that it could not be lifted even with respect to Hecker and his potential crimes. In reaching that decision, Grabill said she intended to “destroy any [sealed] information that this court received” while litigating the issue about whether Hecker deserved to benefit from the bankruptcy’s secrecy.

What the actual hell is wrong with people?! Let’s not forget that the Southern Baptist Church released an incomplete list of its child abusing priests. Incomplete not because they didn’t know names, but because it wanted to protect them.

And conservatives say LGBT+ people are groomers and abusers. Never let them forget who the real predators are, where are they more likely to stay hidden and be protected.

Ha! My friend did this yesterday with their new partner who had never seen the movies.

I like to call them anti-choice. Anti-family planning. Anti-freedom. Anti-healthcare or anti-medicine. Anti-women. If they insist on having the pro or for label, they’re pro-forced birth or forced-birthers.

Reminder to everyone, college and university didn’t used to cost verymuch. Governor of California Ronald Reagan didn’t like the Vietnam War protests happening on University of California campuses and decided to change the university funding model to make students pay a lot more for their education and reduce the number of protesters. President Nixon saw this and asked for advice to stop college protests nationwide.

The Origin of Student Debt: Reagan Adviser Warned Free College Would Create a Dangerous “Educated Proletariat”

Inside the home, police say, officers found Durham and the suspect, identified as Alejandra Boudreaux, struggling over a knife and an officer-involved shooting occurred.

Sounds like the cop just happened to be there. And a gun unrelated to the officer aimed itself at the home’s resident. And the gun fired all by itself. Wow I hate when they use this kind of language, just say what’s written in the headline!

Hegseth’s attorney said a payment was made to the woman as part of a confidential settlement a few years after the police investigation because Hegseth was concerned that she was prepared to file a lawsuit that he feared could have resulted in him being fired from Fox News, where he was a popular host. The attorney would not reveal the amount of the payment.

Well… that says a lot all on its own. Why the hell do they keep picking people who are not normal!

Tania Cepero López, a faculty union leader, isn’t a caricature of a leftist university professor. An English instructor at Florida International University, she has voted for Republicans and is married to a conservative Republican.

…

She has watched in horror in recent years, she said, as she saw the same government interference into education in the United States that she experienced in her native Cuba.

I hope Tania and her husband learned something from this. Who am I kidding, they’ll probably support and vote for Republicans down ballot and wonder why things are getting worse. Good luck to the students of conservative run states.

I got a vasectomy as soon as I could which was at 26. I would have done it sooner but I had insurance problems and was broke before that. It was the best decision I’ve ever made for myself.

Specifically about veterans’ healthcare: Veterans surveyed supported Trump 61% to 37% Harris with 2% undecided. And it’s not like the plan to screw up VA benefits was hidden, it was there in Project 2025.

Go Japan! Hell yeah!

Tally Gotliv, a Likud MP, told MEE: “We need to occupy the complete land of Israel. There are no innocent people in Gaza. Everybody who has refused to leave the north is a collaborator.”

Monday’s event took place against the backdrop of an escalating military assault on northern Gaza where hundreds of thousands of Palestinians remained trapped and subjected to daily air strikes.

The assault came amid reports from Israel that the military has started to implement a strategy known as “the Generals’ Plan” which called for the ethnic cleansing of the north of the territory, and condemnation by aid groups who warned last week that northern Gaza is being “erased”.

This is their plan. They’re doing it right now. I can’t imagine how folks will deny this, I guess they’ll move onto justify.

I really miss the Voter Handbook with all the information I could need about laws or propositions, the candidates in the ballot, where and how to register, and I think where to vote.

The full text of laws and props are present along with calculated 10 year cost, and a statement from proponents and a rebuttal to that statement from opponents, and a statement from opponents accompanied by proponents’ rebuttal. For candidates, they submit statements which are usually a brief biography and things they say they support and oppose, why they’re running, and whatever else they think is important. There’s a sample ballot showing exactly what you’ll see on election day. It tells you how to register and where to go, about provisional ballots, mail-in ballots. It was such a fantastic resource.

Here in Texas, it isn’t easy finding information about the candidates besides their names and party. For any laws, good luck finding anything except for the name the dang thing. The plain text will be buried in a messy state website with nothing else presented. It’s like they don’t want us to know a damn thing about who or what we’re voting for.

That was- I cannot convey just how insane that was using spoken language. I think I’d need to smash a watermelon, aim a sandblaster filled with crushed seashells and desiccated termites at it, start blasting and let my intuition do its thing until something resembling art was produced. Possibly while doing interpretive dance and making primal guttural grunting noises. That would get me pretty darn close to properly communicate my thoughts on what I saw. Thank you.
