The state Bureau of Criminal Apprehension says they've been informed by the FBI that US DOJ has said FBI will solely lead the investigation into Renee Nicole Good's killing by a federal officer. State investigators no longer have access to "case materials, scene evidence/investigative interviews"

Sure, there's liberal bias in the news media.
These two images are the party affiliations of elected officials who were guests on Fox News vs. PBS. In some cases I included lawmakers who were interviewed by a Fox News correspondent too. No kidding this is what they look like. PBS was almost perfectly 50/50.

This was palpably chilling. Searching Google for the complete text of William Penn's treatise on religious tolerance, I got nothing but the American Heritage Education Foundation. Two pages of nearly identical returns, then nothing. Looked like this. Tried an incognito window, same. Bing is OK.

We're Iraq now invading Kuwait but there's no America to stop us. Gonna need Reuters and that dumbass to tell me how awesome this is. We're criminals. Trump is using my tax money to murder people and steal oil.
Q: Is it possible that the US ends up administering Venezuela for years?
TRUMP: Well, you know, it won't cost us anything because the money coming out of the ground is very substantial

“What appears to be a newly created account appeared to invest $30,000 Friday in Maduro's exit. After Maduro went into custody Saturday morning, that same investor netted $436,759.61.”
Someone made $400K by predicting Maduro's capture. Here's what happened
The winnings come as the rules governing prediction markets are still evolving.

Bush at the start of the Iraq war when MSNBC called him a visionary. He looked pretty lost at the time, I remember -- and we all hoped that wasn't true, we hoped he knew what he was doing. That's when we learned he was utterly hopeless as a chief executive and commander in chief.

Now that regime change is underway in #Venezuela, does anyone believe that Trump and his Republican enablers will seek to install a leader committed to democracy?
