  1. RBY, Mikey Labriola and Vito come to mind.
  2. What a crazy article from a highly disreputable source. Of course people who are arrested have charges pending! Immigrants - undocumented and otherwise - have lower crime rates than citizens in the US.
  3. Who is going to duck? Has Warner been injured?
  4. This shit we are experiencing is only a movie? That is a loaf off!!!
  5. Real estate is the one facet of the US economy that is entirely socialist.
  6. Schiff speaks truth, Musk throws personal shade. Highly persuasive. Schiff can tweet a link to the interview where Manafort acknowledges colluding with Russia, provided he has paid his 11 bucks.
  7. "They are not sending their best. They are drug dealers. They are rapists." Literally his platform.
  8. Do you know, or even care to know, how drugs are smuggled into the US? The border is a political tool by the fascist right. The real humanitarian crisis is and always has been in the countries these people are fleeing. If you actually cared, you would demand we give asylum.
  9. Getting guns has never been an issue for them. All those migrants are picking up guns and going back to Mexico???
  10. Obama still in the clear. 8 years. No docs, no special counsels of any kind. We need more people like him.
  11. Most countries have abolished the death penalty entirely or use it only under the most extreme of circumstances. Frankly, I don't want in the group that regularly carries it out. I want it abolished in all circumstances and am satisfied my state has done so. Norway has a real dilemma coming their way. They can't impose a life sentence, much less a death penalty. Their infamous mass shooter (a fascist who killed 77) will have served his term of 21 years and could then be a free man.
  12. How long do you suggest holding him? It is not going to be forever. Sadly, he is likely to be a much better person going in than coming out. Maybe that is what should be fixed but it is a hard problem and we don't address those.
  13. It costs > 40K/inmate/year in Illinois and elsewhere. It is entirely impractical to lock people up and throw away the key. I'd say we have to solve this at a higher level, but we all know those problems are too complex to address. We will never alleviate poverty and ignorance. We will never shed ourselves of gun culture. We will never put up meaningful barriers to owning and regulating guns. Take a good look around, this is not an accident and it is not going away.
  14. Samuel Parsons-Salas notwithstanding, our solution is very clearly not more prisons.
  15. Former FBI agent who spearheaded Russia probe retired in style thanks to Russia. Didn't last. From the truth is stranger than fiction department: https://www.foxnews.com/politics/retired-top-fbi-counterintelligence-agent-led-trump-russia-probe-arrested-own-ties-russian-oligarch
  16. A bit hyperbolic on the first assertion. Unquestionably correct on the second.
  17. We should observe the behavior of the successful ones and emulate that. What do they in the Caucasus? I think they take high percentage shots and wrestle disciplined matches.
  18. This debt is inevitable. Since the budget was last balanced > 20 years ago we have spent multi trillions on wars, faced an unprecedented financial crisis costing trillions and the pandemic. The response? Thoughts and prayers, a ballooning GINI index, finger pointing and massive tax cuts.
  19. The hammer he used to smash the skull of an 85 year old man?
  20. Spencer Lee would turn him like a top.
  21. I can't find anything demonstrate that. I'm reading there are more full time employees now than ever.
  22. That should be a mandatory deduction plus ejection.
  23. This court is full of hacks. Third sentence they angrily proclaim a naive presumption. No wonder these Barney Fifes couldn't crack the case. Ironically, this is Donald Trump's description of this supreme court: "The Supreme Court has lost it’s honor, prestige and standing, & haws become nothing more than a political body, with our Country paying the price. "
  24. Joe Biden has stuttered his entire life, so not really worth mentioning. As long as people keep listening, he'll do it again and again. Always has
