Mildly curious what they think of the Irish.

Also, I know Israel isn't generally subtle about the whole fascism thing, but drat. I wonder how that conversation went.

"So, I'm going to post a photo that directly compares our troops to Star Wars. People love those movies."

"Great, are you going to use some sort of picture that implies that belong to the Rebel Alliance?"

"No, I thought it would be better to use a picture that draws direct comparisons to Stormtroopers. I'm pretty sure there's no danger of irony there."

I probably should have added a note saying "FYI, this is not a sincere message of support for Israel's actions in Gaza"

any decent economist on a conservative show will be weird and awkward and alien because that’s how economists are

I know the kind of weird/awkward/alien you're trying to describe, but I had a fun mental picture of an economist coming on and being sort of whimsical and fairylike, whispering hidden truths about the economy while offering suspicious deals backed by economic magic.

I feel like we should instead retrofit garbage trucks so that the front loader thing contains an armored vault that an officer can sit in, with cameras on the outside and a little steel slat they can slide open to shoot out of or grab license and registration work.

That way, an officer can slowly approach a vehicle, safe in the security of their armored dumpster.

If an arrest needs to be made, the garbage truck driver gets a call on the radio, and the officer will supervise from the vault as the driver attempts to arrest the suspect.

Then, once the suspect is loaded into the passenger seat of the truck, the vault is lifted back up and into the armored section in the rear of the truck to keep the officer safe for the rest of the trip.

Once the truck makes it back to the station, the driver again lifts the police bin out, and slides it into a receptacle that leads into the police fortress. The driver then helps the suspect out of the passenger seat and escorts them into the booking/processing area, where police will observe through plate glass to ensure they're not at risk at any point in the process.

This is my favorite part:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Caning_of_Charles_Sumner

quote:

Massachusetts Representative Anson Burlingame publicly humiliated Brooks by goading him into challenging Burlingame to a duel, only to set conditions designed to intimidate Brooks into backing down. (As the challenged party, Burlingame, who was a crack shot, had the choice of weapons and dueling ground. He selected rifles on the Canada side of Niagara Falls, where U.S. anti-dueling laws would not apply. Brooks withdrew his challenge, claiming that he did not want to expose himself to the risk of violence by traveling through Northern states to get to Niagara Falls.)

Content warning: Bloody face of a woman who was grazed by a bullet in the mass shooting. I'm going to provide a screenshot without the picture, you can click on the link if you want to see it.
It's not gory, she's probably going to have a very bad scar.

Sorry I think that's the correct response, if a bit insensitive. Vote for someone who will act against this. A general strike might work too but lol good luck with that.

She's in no immediate danger, so what else is there to do? Send thoughts and prayers?

I'm not saying that people shouldn't vote, not at all. But it's not sufficient, and if that's the limit of our imagination, we're screwed.
At least she didn't tell her to donate money to some political fund, so that's a relief.

And this is a terrible transition, I'd planned to post this but I didn't want to do a double-post. I don't want to imply that this is the correct "do more than voting" action:
Since the victim's profile is now private, her GoFundMe link isn't visible anymore either. Just in case someone was looking for it and they missed out: https://www.gofundme.com/f/udfhdp-help-with-medical-and-therapy-cost

Well done! You're truly becoming AOC's favorite. How'd you like to ensure your place in the highest echelons in the DNC. Surely you're ambitious enough to take on a campaign of tremendous magnitude.
Your goal is so secret even AOC knows nothing of it yet. You see, power shifts quickly in the Democratic Party.
