My favorite part of any woman, be it Ginsberg, Warren, or Hilldawg dunking on Trump is the inevitable orange meltdown on Twitter. He simply cannot let any criticism go, it's really something to watch.

He probably meant swap instead of swamp, but now I'm imagining a bunch of guys in suits and bowler hats carrying briefcases following RBG everywhere, chattering incessantly and crowding her, and Trump drives by and shouts, "HOW DOES IT FEEL TO BE SWAMPED BY SOME REAL JUDGES, HUH CRAZY OLD LADY?"

Wait a minute: whether or not the Corey/Hicks thing is true, if the guy Trump is suing is telling the truth about not being the high-level leak, then there's a decent chance it was Roger Stone the whole time, right?

Are we sure there was just one leak? The circumstances in the Trump campaign would normally be conducive to literally everyone (with the possible exception of Hicks[1]) leaking anything that would make them look good in their internecine strife.

A Hicks/Lewandowski relationship makes some degree of sense - in that one profile of her (slash Trump interview about her while she was in the room) it was mentioned that she broke up with her long-term boyfriend as the campaign was getting underway. Plus she and Lewandowski were the ones travelling with Trump while he was campaigning.

[1] - The assumption here being that Hicks is so far out of her depth trying to do the job of ten people without a whole lot of political experience that she's not jockeying for a larger role.

Is that what he's doing? It's a little weird, because it's Birch who says the crimes are mostly male black and Hispanic teenagers, and then the officer keeps pressing him on that. Perhaps the officer is trying to engage him in Socratic dialogue so that he can realize that his conceptions of who commits the crimes are mistaken :angel:

Yeah, you're right, that's 90% of it at least. I like that it's not just about what's in the news cycle today (and how the news impacts politicians---although Chapo goes beyond this at least) but nevertheless is current enough to ocassionally touch upon the race. The cycle of guests who were contributors to "The Faux Feminism of Hillary Clinton" were really good, with 1 or 2 exceptions.

About 2 months ago I posted asking for a podcast that gets beyond just political optics, talks intelligently about policy, and has a good amount of international politics content. This Is Hell! is basically exactly what I was asking for but no one recommended it. Happy to spread the word. I gave them some cash too, got the mug.

Hey it was you. Thanks man.

This is hell reminds me of the Letters and Politics show on KPFA which I think is also a podcast. You might want to check that out.

Yeah, I'd have guessed Manafort or someone in his camp, I just didn't want the actual political implications to get lost in "lol they boned"

I mean poo poo, even Corey wanted to leak the VP thing before he was fired -- and us hearing about that is ANOTHER leak that happened after this guy getting sued got the boot! It's a meta-leak!

What else do they have when slavery was not only taught to them as something that kept society safe, gave the slaves something constructive to do but was the only carrot held above their head that they were at least not as low as a slave. Unless they were Irish. Good god, Slaves are collateral that cost a lot of money, we aren't going to risk them on something as dangerous as mining. Send the Irish down there.

Nah, It'll get your rear end beat in dallas too. You'd have to move to some heavily white-bread suburb between there and fort worth for that. Though most of them don't want your poor rear end white trash rear end there either.

The point is that there isn't actually guidelines set for them, they set them for themselves. That's kind of a big deal. It's also an opportunity for saying when force isn't needed, like in the cases of dealing with mental illness.

It's worth pointing out that the shittiest army private out there gets a a pretty comprehensive set of guidelines on when to shoot people when literally in a warzone, there's absolutely no reason we can't come up with one for cops in peacetime. (And that set of guidelines has tons of reasons not to fire, in case people were wondering)

Silence can be taken as tacit agreement. If everyone who might argue back has CelestialScribe on their ignore list, then it looks as if nobody can/wants to contest the point.

Odds are that the black people's ancestors did own a lot of slaves. Probably better odds than some white assholes in a burger joint are the scions of plantation aristocracy. Most likely is the racists are descended from poor assholes who either came over in one of the post Civil War immigration waves or were the sorry rear end workers so poo poo at indentured servitude that they got replaced with Africans.

That's basically what I was saying. Not only are they trying desperately to take pride in being descended from slave owners, but they are most likely not enemy that. Instead just being the latest in a long line of poor whites soothing their pride by demanding someone darker skinned be worse off than them.

Hell, if we wanna play the "who belongs in what country" game, the odds are decent that the black family came over earlier than the ancestors of the dumbasses and could even likely have Native American ancestry, making them far more tied to this land than the loud bigots.

I'm not sure what you mean by the 'circles'. I'm not terribly social (duh, I'm here) and haven't been actively involved in shooting sports in many years. I'm personally pretty horrified by all of the police shooting citizens stuff in the last few years, and haven't seen any sort of reasonable solution of any kind put forward by any politician on either side, but it's possible there's something I'm not aware of.

What Geostomp said. Also, in these times especially, they probably get a little rebellious pleasure out of it because the only reason people started to frown on free discussion of how sub-human black people are is because of PC liberal manipulation. They are speaking truth to power and if people get mad it's because they can't handle it.
