Jack McCoy suggesting hanging a criminal by his scrotum in 1995 was funny in a way it wouldn't be now
A lot of US police TV shows seem to follow this sort of pattern:

43 minutes spent trying to catch some pesky criminals.

1 minute spent gunning them down in a hail of bullets.

1 minute devoted to a jokey scene to round off the episode on a high.

Yes, people who vocally support the police typically oppose spending on social programs. Why do people think arguments like the one Reich is making here are persuasive? Who is the intended audience? (It’s low information liberals, I know)
Medicare for All - "That's socialism!"

Social Security - "That's socialism!"

Debt free education - "That's socialism!"

Universal childcare - "That's socialism!"

Billions for ICE, refurbishing Trump's Qatar jet, and tax cuts for the rich...

"That's just how it is."

If you don’t want to participate in electoral politics that’s cool but can you please stop being so fucking annoying about the electoral politics you don’t want to participate in

I don't think it's possible to overstate how damaged our democracy has become on account of millions of people being trapped in social media / media halls of mirrors that prevent them from accessing even a rudimentary approximation of reality.

Extremely hot place in hell for people who buy tools, use them, and then return them sneakily. Home Depot maybe should check the box when someone is returning a $500 tool?
