so you're saying he's not likely to charge LAPD for shooting people in the head with rubber bullets for standing in public protesting peacefully?
gee, and when he said crimes would be punished, full stop, I actually believed him... yeah, I haven't ever believed him.
sorry, can't help the sarcasm

or, people are actually that bad and we didn't get the memo until now

He speaks well, he's a good leader, and he looks the part. I just wish he solidly stood for more of the values I believe in.

Is that the raw number or the per capita number? If it's the raw number, holy hell the per capita number (which is the actual "rate" that matters when considering the likelihood of being killed) must be HUGE.

trump was barely grazed. It's also possible he was hit by shrapnel from something the bullet hit, not the bullet itself. We'll never see the doctor's report either way. He doesn't even have a visible scar. Something hit him, but he even said privately on a recording it felt like a bug sting.

They're not at all harmless. They're not supposed to be. They are "non-lethal" and even then, only when used correctly... they're intentionally not using them correctly. They're using them to inflict damage. You don't aim for the head. I've seen multiple head shots. You don't shoot at short range..

There needs to be a purge of the LAPD when this is over. They need to know they are done.

I've worked plenty hard and without that would probably be dead on the streets by now, but if friends hadn't taken a chance on me when they didn't know me from Adam, I for sure would still be homeless on disability, maybe living in a shelter if I were lucky. Some family helped, as well.

I've got no issue with wanting to do your own thing, but anybody that thinks they made it on their own is lying to themselves and everyone else.
We truly stand on the shoulders of giants and are communal beings.

BTW, that's a legitimate question, I'm actually curious what people think on the matter.

Is it actually because they think they're right? or because... fuck everyone else. They get to do what they want, because freedom?
Of course that's not what freedom is. That's lack of responsibility or accountability.

What's more "beta" than a wannabe alpha. Of course all that alpha, beta stuff is BS, but they are still the opposite of what they claim to be.

Nothing he said was untue, well except for the obvious sarcastic bits about nothing we can do. Change can to will and maybe even that is true, for now.

What I've seen so far is corporate media backing the lie. A media blackout would be better than what I've seen. They're an absolute disgrace. Even as their own journalist got shot for reporting on it.

No, you're correct it's not all of them, but it is more than 50%. That may change when the budget bill passes and they feel the pain. but maybe not, They're been resistant to facts so far.

Those same folks are now trump's biggest demographic

He looked pretty young and the person in the crowd was yelling "he's just a kid". Judgement isn't a strong suit of young folk.

Exactly, I would have to insulate the attic better to make it habitable but in the meantime they could stay in the main house. It's easily 130+ in the day time in the summer in the attic.
There is no protection from heat in the roof curently. The insulation is between the ceiling and the attic.

So you let a person that IS trump win? You did this.
And all you can do is shout on the internet?
comment in response to

no, folks like you definitely enabled trump's victory.
Then call everyone else the problem.

... and how are they stealing hard working Americans' jobs if they're so lazy?
MAGA is a world of contradiction and none of it is rooted in truth.

Unfortunately, it's exactly what they voted for, and what he said he would do before the election happened. They just refused to hear it.

that's exactly what trump wants... justification for martial law

Oh, they recognized it. They simply refused to publicly acknowledge what it was.
Scratch that.
They intentionally tried to publicly mislead people about what it was.
This wasn't passively sitting it out. They actively participated.

That puts MAGA Mike in the presidency if they impeach both at the same time. If one at a time Vance just names a VP

It's probably the only legitimate way to get rid of the electoral college. BUT, given what we now know about so many people in this country I don't know if it's worth the risk. They just might pick trump as a king instead. It's hard to believe, but it's hard to believe there are so many fascists.

And here I started reading that line as Peter Murphy. It ended very differently.

Ending Citizens United will be tough. The courts won't do it with their current make up and no way corporate democrats will support ending it. It's their bread and butter
It absolutely needs to happen.
At this point the only way to take back our government may be another Constitutional Convention.

It's absolutely the fair and just thing, but I don't think it's realistic for smaller states to willingingly give up their unfair advantage.
We couldn't even get the ERA signed before it expired.

While I support both of these, I don't see this amendment happening. 2/3 of each legislature has to ratify in 3/4 of the states. I think you'd be lucky to get even one of the less populous states to agree with this. And getting 2/3 of the legislature in middle sized states is probably uncommon.

or was it, and they looked the other way?
sounds like conspiracy theory territory, but so is a lot of the stuff we KNOW they are doing.
I doubt that's what happened but it's hard to put anything past this DOJ

The Dems are not extreme at all. I have a hard time even calling the leadership of the party liberal, much less progressive. When something goes wrong with the messaging of leaning too far right they blame it on liberal ideals.
