Sacramento police try to run over mentally ill homeless man, when that fails they get out and shoot him 14 times.

quote:

Two Sacramento police officers attempted to run over a mentally ill homeless man with their car less than 35 seconds before they shot and killed him, according to recordings released by police this month.

One of the officers says “f--- this guy” in the frantic final minute before they shot Joseph Mann on Del Paso Boulevard. Moments later, the driver says, “I’m going to hit him.”

“OK. Go for it. Go for it,” his partner responds.

During that sequence, the officers gunned their vehicle toward Mann, backed up, turned and then drove toward him again, based on dashcam video released by police. They stopped the car, ran toward Mann on foot and shot him 14 times.

Jesus gently caress, there's going to be some loving Olympics class spinning to try to justify this.

So, the last time we have evidence of Trump paying Federal Income Tax is 1977, and every year since is no evidence of whether he paid or evidence of not paying, right? That means the tax returns from the last time he paid might be old enough to run for president.

I think it's kind of ridiculous to discredit the Rasmussen poll on that point when it was 4 years ago and they certainly could have updated their methodology to fix the problems they had back then. They may still have a bias, but they were wrong last time and it would make sense if they tried to fix things and be better this time around.

They lean R so consistantly that if you add +x(I wanna say 3 or 4?) D to any result they have they actually become one of the most accurate pollsters out there.

Using demographics only really only works if there are two candidates and they're both generic 'perfectly spherical cow' candidates. That's rarely the case. Look at the 2010 Illinois Senate race for a great example of how going on demographics alone can fail you.

I didn't think Trump could do much to make me think less of him, but as someone with depression and as a suicide attempt survivor gently caress him with a rake. Attempting suicide has nothing to do with how strong or weak you are, in my experience it's not even really a conscious choice.

What I mean is that he's not going to be allowed to attend. Large, burly men will restrain him and place him and his big ego under essential house arrest if that is necessary. There is no way on Earth the GOP leadership will allow him on camera on Sunday after this.

The "vote extension" thing probably won't happen (it's more that I suspect a lot of GOP folks are dearly wishing there was a mechanism to ask for that right about now) but I honestly believe Trump will be forced to no-show the debate on Sunday. I cannot conceive of anyone involved allowing him anywhere near a camera and a stage with Hillary Clinton on it this weekend. If it does happen then it's going to be a farce for the ages.

That's what makes this so amazing. That's absolutely what they need to do, but they can't. They have to resign themselves to watching him desperately flail around on stage and make everything worse and their best hope is getting started on planning the damage control early.

Also, I just noticed I failed to purge one of the Trots I knew in college from Facebook. She's still furiously defending Trump and claiming Hillary is the one who's really anti-woman. It will never stop being bizarre seeing supposed socialists defend Trump, doubly so when it's a woman. :psyduck:

Giuliani once attacked a victim of a wrongful police shooting as "no altar boy". The victim turned out, in fact, to have literally been an altar boy at the same Catholic school Giuliani attended. Being hilariously, epicly wrong is nothing new for him.

So what happens if Trump actually drops out?

They have to try to litigate a case to overturn state laws setting an end date for putting new candidates on the ballot and try to force states that have already started early voting to recognize votes already cast for Trump as votes for the new candidate possibly against the wishes of the actual voters. It'll be a glorious clusterfuck, basically.

It was being shopped around to the media by a known anti-Trump Republican starting right after it looked like he had a chance at the nom, and they basically refused to play ball with any outlet that wanted to investigate, interview her or do anything more than just publish their pre-prepared press kit.

If Trump resigns the nomination, how long do you think the nomination will be vacant? The RNC has contingencies in place for them to vote for a replacement, but how long would it actually take given all the politicking involved?

I don't think it matters at all, it's already too late to get the ballot changed for quite a few big states. Leaving him on the ticket and having him resign once in office on the off chance he wins is literally their best option right now.
