"I have no desire to see us elect our own Margaret Thatcher." :stare:

It is a good line, so long as you know Thatcher was terrible, made the poor poorer, rich richer, screwed over political representation, started a phony war, and ultimately ended up serving as the root of the current schisms rocking the UK.

So it is a bad line to use in America, where people don't have any grasp of that sort of thing.

Some people see the Falklands conflict as a picked fight, carried on far too long (which though I'm all about exposing Thatcher as the warmongering toad she was, lets the Argentinian dictatorship too much off the hook).

I hate these two slogans if for no other reason than it has allowed these dumb rear end "do black lives matter, or do all lives matter, senator?" questions from the media.

Obviously all lives matter, but people seem to need reminding that includes black lives too. And very few call out the "all lives matter" bullshit for what it really stands for, which is that black lives do, in fact, not matter quite as much.

What I hear: All lives matter.

What I read it as: All animals are equal. Some animals are more equal than others.

Some news reports I have heard interviewed French residents who usually say that while they are now afraid of going out to cafes' nightclubs, and football matches, they make a point of doing so anyway to keep ISIL from controlling them. The French government is also still accepting refugees without any new restrictions.

It makes me sad and ashamed about how cowardly we have become.

Moralists don't really *have* beliefs. Sometimes they stumble on one, like on a child's toy left on the carpet. The toy must be put away immediately. And the child reprimanded.

Apparently shots have been fired at that protest at the police station in Minneapolis.

Apparently, two protesters have been injured. Speculation and rumors are extremely rampant, but some, including the Black Lives Matter Minneapolis twitter account are claiming that it was white supremacists

Correct, people are saying between 2-4 people were hit. Some are claiming that the shooters were two white men in bulletproof vests. Again, these details are unconfirmed.

Edit to add more info:

According to protesters white supremacists showed up, started causing problems. They were made to leave and people followed them to make sure they were leaving. Two people shot, one in the leg, one in the stomach. Police looking for the shooters, think they might be wearing bullet proof vests.
