FIRST TIME posted:Try watching an episode or two from the first season, way back in 1989. It's waaay different than what you see today. It's not perfect but a lot of the officers seem to at least make an attempt to engage with the community and show empathy. A lot of it probably had to do with police on camera being a new thing and trying to put their best foot forward. Then they figured out that viewers just like seeing "bad guys" get what's coming to them. Now pretty much every segment on Cops is just chasing someone down, roughing them up, and throwing them in the back of the squad car. the very first cops segment ever, the very first one, is a bunch of florida cops in the 80's who hide in a giant cardboard box in the back of an el camino. the idea is that the driver cop will buy some drugs from someone, then beep the horn and the other cops will jump out of the box and arrest the drugs guy

My mother still has a bunch of pics from when my dad was a cop in the 80s, and after looking at them, she has never had a good answer for me as to why he kept the 80s haircut and ridiculous moustache. The 80s were one hell of a time.

I remember the email line, but I thought that was prompted by Trump, not a question Lester asked. Anecdotal, but my wife's impression of Hillary went up a good bit based on her straightforward "I messed up" answer to that question.

The Party of Lincoln hasn't had any meaningful claim to that title in generations, if it ever did at all. They're basically just American fascists now. American politics make way more sense when you realize that Republicans = white supremacists, misogynists, homophobes, and short-sighted robber barons, while Democrats = a mix of progressives and neoliberal business types fighting over the same soap box.

Thump! posted:She even brought up Benghazi herself, boasting about kicking the poo poo out of Gowdy and Chaffetz for 11 hours. Ok, but did she admit to personally flying out there and killing the Benghazi victims while high-fiving every member of ISIS and handing them a deleted email? Then obviously no one actually mentioned Benghazi or emails.

So is Bernie Sanders dead? I've been getting a peculiar angle from people lately in the style of (to be blunt) "Clinton cheated Bernie. Vote Trump to avenge him" Is that a thing now? Actual Bernie supporters going to Trump for some sort of revenge? People act like Clinton took Bernies head and since he is no longer alive to make his will heard then we must interpret what his will is. Never mind that he already did pledge support for Clinton. It's not as blunt as that but rather pro-Bernie sliding into anti-Clinton and then gradually adopting the Trump supporter mantras. Emails, Benghazi, She's ill. And so on. I like Bernie and would have loved to see him as president. But he was always a "weaker" candidate than Clinton. Clinton has a lot more political power and influence, as well as the support of the sitting Democrat president.

An old friend who never posts on Facebook called me out on Facebook yesterday for my Hillary support, claiming that she is center right at best. He then listed all the crap she's been involved in that I shouldn't like. He also said I'd be kidding myself if I think she's going to make good on any of the progressive policies she claims to support. He didn't offer any alternatives and agreed with me that Jill and the Green Party are terrible options. Now, the guy has dual citizenship and grew up abroad. I think that colors his perspective. The truth is, America is a conservative nation, despite how our movies and TV shows might make us look. What else does he think is going to happen?

Even Fox was struggling in their post-debate article to paint Trump in a positive light- to the point where they described him in as plain of terms as possible (literally as bland as 'trump said ____', 'Trump responded _____') to appear objective while using all kinds of subtly insulting adjectives for HRC. That anyone thinks Trump genuinely won the debate is quite perplexing to me.

Nitrousoxide posted:Which would you prefer, H.W. Bush or Trump? HW now, and back then. He was a GOP president who advance GOP politics I do not like or agree with, but never once was anyone concerned he did not know how generals get their jobs or threaten to dissolve NATO. HW was a WWII vet, an ambassador to the UN, a Representative, a Senator, RNC chairman, Director of the CIA, a company board member, and Vice President for 8 years. If anyone was qualified to be President, on simple ability to do the job, it was him. I agree, gently caress him and his GOP politics, but no one was scared of him they way they are of Trump. If him, or someone like him, was elected this year, we would all grit our teeth and bear it, and plan to win in 2020, just like the Dems did in 1988. Country would still work, most things would be fine, people would not be tremendously effected, as is mostly the case with presidents.

Ford brought HW in as CIA director because the CIA was basically just doing whatever they wanted and a lot of it was really unethical, leading to a bunch of scandals. For his part, he cleaned up the CIA's act quite a bit in his short tenure.
