I'm going to reiterate the fact that once Grayson threatened Massey with deadly force, while he was inside her home without warrant or probable cause, the only person reasonably and legally authorized to act in self-defense was Massey. She could have dumped a whole pot of boiling water on him...

I strongly disagree based on the fact that he said he was going to shoot her in the face and then did so. I've seen a lot of this talk about the pot and the officer needing to defend himself, but the reality under the law is that once he issued that threat, while inside her home without warrant...

For a whild there, Portland was more in danger of being overrun by Nextdoor Karens that call the police every time someone walks by on the sidewalk, but thankfully we seem to have averted both crises for now.

The real conservative "brain defect" (as another poster would say) is the inability to face being wrong (or merely associated with being wrong) and to learn from that. Because to the conservative mind the social consequences of being wrong outweigh any practical consequences. If caught lying or...

With Trump and this newly-created Presidential immunity, any journalist that speaks out is gonna get Khashoggi'ed while MAGAs cheer it as a newfound dimension of "free speech."

It's hypnosis that makes sheep vote their slaughter.

Lol.. I think it's completely awesome that Trump, knowing he was badly behind in the polls with women, chose the king of alpha male douchebags to be his VP. Icing on the top that he openly wants to dismantle Social Security and every other govt program the taxpayers pay for without lowering...

I just want to add to this that the worst part about people believing the President is responsible for every govt decision and action is how it has given rise to autocratic sentiment. I also disagree with this apparent attempt to deflect blame onto Biden for an atrocity committed by MAGA extremism.

No need to bet. One of the things said by GOP officials here is that Zeigler couldn't get away with this because he's not Trump. The core basis of conservatism is the belief in inequality under the law. Not economic inequality, not socialism or communism, but that people should be unequal in...

Given that Musk endorsed a narrative based upon the premise that there is little if any variation within an average, I would say that definitely calls his intelligence (or honesty) into question.

Fun fact: southern red states, particularly Mississippi, have by far the lowest credit scores in the nation. They average ~680 FICOs while blue states average ~720. And the primary reason why? Medical debt.

It seems that the entirety of right-wing thought consists of the retelling of easily disproven (usually defamatory) lies as a means of a purity test. Go along with the lie, and you're one of them. Point out the lie and you're the evil other. In this case, the idea that the average SAT scores at...

It helps IMO to see the 14a in its historical context as the biggest FU imaginable by the Union states onto the Confederates, and especially Texas. God knows those slave owning shitheads deserved it, but their feels still haven't gotten over the idea that a black man or an immigrant is as...

Yes, which would be fucking disastrous for freedom in America. But is exactly what Republicans want. Liberals and Dems aren't seeing the big picture here. They think this is all about abortion or minority rights but the threat is much much worse.
