The sports metaphor, in the legal system, is ‘slam dunk’. Yes, it’s a ‘slam dunk’ murder case.
That being said, it’s kind of hard to build a mass consensus that this remote control bombing is so different from all the others, in the ‘war on terror’.

If everyone majors in AI and nobody knows how to be original, we can get on with having an endlessly derivative culture. We can endlessly slice and dice Seinfeld episodes with Louis CK standup to the end of time. We’ll never need fresh thinking ever again and college will prepare us for that.

Do democrats nibble at the giant mountain of corruption, because they’re cowards, because they lack imagination, because they want the option to do same things, or all of the foregoing?

If there were a functioning opposition party, we’d already have an outline of what would happen when the current bums lose the next couple of elections.
We ought to be able to point to somebody’s plan. The lack of a plan is so demoralizing.

Any white person who thought they had the benefit of the doubt, whether a POC could feel safe around them, needs to understand that Trump took it from you.
Every white person is a threat to every POC. Yes, it sucks, but that’s what Trump took from you. Trump has made whiteness stand for evil.

The Supreme Court Six and others are working hard to lock us into a one party system, and it’s right wing and oligarchic. So, while it might be fun to think of some scrappy lefty with immature political ideas, it’s also a great way to avoid talking about what’s really happening.

Dispatch from Captain Obvious: Trump is killing credibility and goodwill toward white people.
Don’t believe it? White people are the biggest demographic voting for Trump. White people put this man in power and he is a threat to anyone who isn’t a white, gender conforming male. Smell the coffee!

One day, for about two minutes, people like Will Cain will have to apologize for being monsters. Then we’ll have to spend the next 30 years apologizing for the 2 minutes they had to apologize.
Sick of these creeps!
These people suck and should not be in fancy places spewing their toxic garbage.

It’s long past time for white people to confront any white person who endorses Trump’s garbage. If you’re a white person and you don’t stand against Trump’s garbage, then you’re with him, and he will morally bankrupt you. If you’re white and trying to keep your head down, Trump will bury you.

Bar Associations who license attorneys have done nothing to create consequences for rampant bad faith and illegal lawyering. The bar journals lament our trying times and lecture us about being strong, but the cowardice of Bar Associations is off the charts. Shameful.

Is there a commitment to restore subsidies across the Democratic Party? It might be nice to start setting the terms of what’ll take to be a qualified candidate in upcoming elections. Dems need ubiquitous messaging on these issues, immediately.

Thank for saying this. People are starving for leaders to say what needs to be said. Thank you.

In some bygone era, pardoning a drug trafficking ex-president, while also murdering fisherman clinging to wreckage on the pretense that the drowning guys are traffickers would be a major PR crisis. Along with irony, public relations is dead.

It’d be irresponsible not to assume that everything the current president says about the autopen is pure projection.

The current media landscape is a lot of sifting through silt, and mostly finding ‘fool’s gold’. All truth seekers have to be their own I.F. Stone’s.
