Jeez y'all she got convicted no need to wish further harm on her. Being a cop in jail is probably gonna be pretty loving unbearable, even without the guilt of having murdered an innocent man.

Probably just that almost everyone feels guilty when they kill someone, supposedly.

I tend to think that most (almost all) people are capable of empathy, even if it doesn't necessarily shine through all their other personality defects / defense mechanisms. I'm no fan of cops, and certainly think that this sentence was justified, but I always feel a bit uncomfortable when people start celebrating the misery of others. Guess I'm just a big ol' softy.

You're not a softy, you're dangerously naive.

On that note, the Texas GOP in both national and state houses are retiring in droves. The GOP itself in Texas is having a small disaster where the moderate current House Speaker may or may not have encouraged a Tea Party group to go after fellow moderate Republicans in exchange for media credentials(wtf lol), and talked poo poo about those members. There is a recording of this that hasn't been released because neither side can actually figure out if its good or bad to do so. Our legislature meets for approximately 3 days every 2 years so we need special sessions to do anything and despite everyone wanting one so we can pretend to do something about gun violence, Abbott won't call one because they'd have to deal with this poo poo instead. Its not going to turn Texas purple, but there is now just enough resistance in the state from Democrats to force people not to just coast along election to election.

If Bernie makes it to the finish line in the Democratic primary, then congrats, but if he drops out for some reason, and you decide not to vote, or write in Bernie anyways in protest, then you're part of the reason that the Republicans continue to win, because they can count on Democrats to internally bicker and tear each other apart while they have built a monolithic political machine to gently caress over poors and immigrants.

Republicans will be just fine impeaching Trump if/when becomes politically necessary. Some of my chuddier friends are already talking about how it might just have been God's plan to give us three years of wandering in the desert before Pence ascends the throne

The base will revolt. The only way Trump leaves office is either losing an election, term limits or a resignation that is framed as him winning.

DoJ is arguing that the President's personal, corporate and family finances are not Congress or a NY Grand Jury's business.

They are also arguing that the former Vice President's personal, corporate and family finances must be investigated.

Hunter also had a seat on the Amtrak board. He also had a direct commission into the US Navy Reserve, requiring an age waiver(he was 43). It also required a second waiver due to a previous drug charge. A month later he pissed hot for coke and was discharged.

He's basically a posterchild for nepotism.

There are 23 republican senators are up for election in 2020. All but three of them come from R+5 states. Most of them are giant names that could actually say what ever about trump and still win such as Mitch McConnell and Lindsay Graham.

Plenty of republican senators can vote to remove from office without primary concerns because no one will remember in 2-4 years because our electorate is made of goldfish.

I live in Texas and people viscerally hate George W Bush and Jeb now because they didn't support Trump. Red state Senators will not vote to impeach Trump because they are far more worried about a primary than a general election loss. A Senate seat is worth a lifetime of graft and not a single one of them will risk that.

In case you thought things mattered because Botham Jean's murderer was found guilty, I have some bad news for you. His hallway neighbor and primary witness was murdered the other day, in what Dallas PD has determined was a major drug deal gone wrong.

Dallas PD is asserting that three men drove 4 hours to purchase drugs from Joshua Brown, who in turn murdered him, and did not take any drugs or cash.

The police really love busting young people for trivial amounts of drugs, threatening them with decades of prison time if they don't become a CI, and then sending them off to go make big drug buys which occasionally gets them killed. A couple CIs getting forced into this is far more plausible than driving 300 miles for weed.
