  • Trump’s ICE crackdown faces reckoning as outrage mounts over Alex Pretti shooting

    Jump

  • They just categorically refuse to vote for Democrats because they have correctly deduced that Democrats want to take their gun rights away

    Correctly? A few Dems mention "gun control" sometimes, mostly to appease anti-gun voters, but among elected Democratic office-holders there's zero call for taking away gun rights.

  • Neil Young Trashes Amazon, Gives His Complete Musical Catalog to Greenland for Free

  • Can't think of anyone in show business who's been so based, for so damned long. Keep on rockin' in the free world, man.

    US warns they will send fighter jets into Canadian airspace if F-35 deal doesn’t go through

    Jump

  • I'm not seeing the inaccuracy.

  • Yes, It’s Fascism | Until recently, I thought it a term best avoided. But now, the resemblances are too many and too strong to deny.

    Jump

  • Ha — how did you get to know my family so well? I'm not interested in conversation with people who aren't interested in conversation, so I no longer engage — unless they say something stupid or fascist in my presence.

  • Some things are best discussed privately.

  • r/FuckingFascists moderator contends with the reality that their kink sub might be problematic

    Jump

  • Well, I'm way too much of a grouch to say thanks if I didn't mean thanks, and I meant it. Never would've guessed that the gnawing Nazification of America could make me giggle, but you pulled it off, and now I'm planning to share this post on my blog, where it'll get HALF A DOZEN more readers. (:

  • Thanks for this, Beep. The kink is only a variety of B&D, but the moral dilemma makes for some laughs, and I needed that.

  • "Those rights don't count": Bovino says Pretti forfeited 2nd Amendment rights in fatal shooting

    Jump

  • But he's not quartering soldiers in people's homes so everything's cool.

  • In a position commanding a wide public audience, Jonathan Rauch has spent years speaking against us and mocking us. Today, he's had an epiphany and figured out he's been well-paid to be wrong. That's cool. "Welcome to the fight. This time I know our side will win," and all that.

    I'm not going to waste any effort kicking him today, but I'm also not shocked, not scolding anyone who doesn't welcome Jonathan Rauch with a bouquet of flowers and wet kisses. Anyway, in five days or five minutes he'll decide we're wrong again. Shrug.

  • FBI supervisor resigns after trying to investigate agent who shot Renee Good

    Jump

  • I like that line. Sounds almost poetic, and it might make some folks stop and think. Not that there's a lot of morality to be exodused, inside law enforcement.

  • FBI supervisor resigns after trying to investigate agent who shot Renee Good

    Jump

  • This is why ALL COPS ARE BASTARDS is such a true truism. Cops who try to do the right thing are either fired or have to quit. Only the bastards remain.

  • Obamas say Trump administration seems 'eager to escalate' situation in Minneapolis

    Jump

  • If they did that — if they'd been doing that for a year — we'd perhaps have an opposition party, and there wouldn't be tens of thousands of people in the street and Renée Good and Alex Pretti would be alive and well.

  • Obamas say Trump administration seems 'eager to escalate' situation in Minneapolis

    Jump

  • It's Groundhog Day? Barack & Michelle Obama will now return to their hibernation for another six weeks of winter...

  • Obamas say Trump administration seems 'eager to escalate' situation in Minneapolis

    Jump

  • Even in a minority position, elected officeholders have a bully pulpit, and any US Congresscritter or Senator — certainly a former President and First Lady — are among the most politically powerful people in America. Any of them could call up a local TV station, ask for an interview, and they’d gladly put them on the air, and they could actually say something people need to hear. They could come to a rally, post a video to YouTube. Any high level Dems could show up somewhere or simply speak up and get the press and the people's attention, effectively sounding an alarm.

    The Obamas said nothing for a month of Minnesota's occupation, a silence that sadly speaks louder than their statements yesterday. Having finally said things that have been obvious for weeks, I expect they'll return to silence today — but jiminy jeepers I'd love to be wrong.

  • Calls mount on Trump administration to fully investigate Alex Pretti’s killing

    Jump

  • Severe vote of no confidence here, for any investigation "mounted" by the Trump administration.

  • Democrats Need to Take On ICE

    Jump

  • The Democratic Party and high-level Dems support ICE, the killings, the concentration camps, and the general aura of fascism. They're an accommodation party, not an opposition party.

  • Obamas say Trump administration seems 'eager to escalate' situation in Minneapolis

    Jump

  • This is what passes for leadership from the Democratic Party — wait several weeks, then say something utterly obvious, but do nothing.

  • Good everyday search engine?

    Jump

  • Fourthed. I'm a rotten cheapskate who pirates movies and wears thrift store clothes and mooches meals from friends, but I pay for Kagi and it's worth more than the price.

  • A rule of journalism: Unless it's meant literally, when a news headline includes words like blasts, blisters, bombshell, burns, claps back, drags, epic self-own, explodes, freaks out, goes viral, humbled, humiliated, melts down, mind-blowing, rages, rips, roasts, shocking, skewers, slams, staggering, stuns, or trolls, find a better source.
