Saturday cartoons aren't really a thing anymore though. Lots of nature stuff, animal adoption, veterinary shows nowadays.

I was just thinking maybe Fox told local affiliates not to bother covering it.

Bullshit, broadcast tv is jam packed with Saturday morning cartoons

A lot of the eulogies were subtle skewers of Trumpism. It's a shame no other currently elected Republicans will learn from this and the loss of John McCain.

“Subtle skewers” are insanely loving lame from people who should actively be fighting to make this country better. I got so sick of hearing people talk about how the Queen of England’s selection of broaches was somehow a super mega slam against somebody who couldn’t give less of a poo poo.

I suppose no one should be shocked but, there's been a racist robocall targetting Gillum in Florida, per CNN:

The shrieking, screaming, finger-pointing, and obstructionism that Republicans use as majority or minority has seemed to work out extremely well for them (and would work even better if they weren't all constantly committing crimes) so it's always disappointing to see Democrats urge caution and :decorum: instead of active and energetic leadership.

If the Democrats have some grand strategy in mind they sure could be more convincing about it. Instead we see establishment Dems reserving their energy for fighting against Maxine Waters and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez.

Gaslighting Trump into killing himself seems like the best outcome for the GOP at this point because then they get someone to competent to push their hellworld agenda and get a martyr and get to blame the liberal media for all of it.

If somebody takes over for Trump they are going to be the lamest duck imaginable. There's no way the GOP Congress would hold together after losing the guy they spent 2+ years rallying their base behind.

It's impossible. The balkanization of laws in America at the state, county and municipal level require officers to be trained on local laws

Is there actually such a requirement? "Ignorance of the law is no excuse" doesn't seem to apply to the police when people are improperly detained or an officer is unable to explain what they're charging an individual for.

Turns out this was the reason the initial police statement about the officer executing her neighbor was so mild:

quote:

"At the very early stages of this investigation -- initial indications were that they were what we consider circumstances of an officer-involved shooting. However, as we continued this investigation it became clear that we were dealing with what appears to be a much different and very unique situation."

So the Texas Rangers are circling the wagons around that Dallas PD officer, Amber Guyger, that murdered a man in his apartment, claiming they released her because "she was compliant" and there's "more information they want to see" before charging her.


She's going to get away with murder scot-free.



All cops are bastards, the Dallas sniper was a good start, gently caress all cops, etc.



Edit: there's reports out that say she's "devastated" but I literally give zero shits how she feels about this unless it makes her suck start her duty weapon in which case I'm 100% supportive of her having one more officer-involved shooting

I can't remember if it was this thread or another but somebody totally called this and got responses saying "well actually it's totally routine to get a warrant to look for cameras that might have recorded the murder." Nah, turns out they just wanted to find/plant a dimebag

If they had good intentions with the search why would they have released the information about the weed to the media?
