but also because of racism.
That's sooooooo tired... you think white, (AND BLACK)cops are shooting at young black boys in hoddies around Chicago, cause they are young black boys in hoddies??? No. It's cause there are not any, white, Asian, Mexican, boys runnin around with guns shooting at each other. Period! Please when are we gunna demand the media to call a Zebra by its strips????
The racism card is the cheapest ticket to a free lunch the Demo's knows! Maybe if they could gain some more verbiage? Except Democrat's don't create do they, their just stand there looky lues that demolish.

I know of NO (left or right) "news" organizations that do actual news anymore. ALL "news" is thinly-veiled op-ed, slanted according to political agenda.
The greater information measures the lesser information, not the other way around. How grand to know the truth, and to be able to measure ALL news organizations against it.
This is the famous Budweiser beer. We know of no brand produced by any other brewer which costs so much to brew and age. Our exclusive beechwood aging produces a taste, a smoothness, and a drinkability you will find in no other beer at any price.
K, if you say so :-)

So tell me how it is equal for some teenage boarderhopper to demand the same rights as a sixth generational US teenager???
Because the Constitution says that it should be so.
But we know that you don't support the Constitution, never have, never will.

Jeff Sessions’s claim that a violent crime wave is sweeping the nation
The attorney general uses the alleged crime wave as evidence for the need to return to “law and order,” which President Trump has vowed to make a top priority during his presidency.
So now we hear the excuse to have "security" on every corner. Of course, we don't have enough cops, so will have to use "volunteer militia", maybe even the army.

‘There’s danger and everyone knows it’: Fire renews fears about Texas chemical industry
Arkema, which operates the plant, told the government that layers of “mitigation measures” make it unlikely that a worst-case scenario would occur. This week, some of the preventive efforts failed.
So with amazingly toxic chemicals, we can look forward to our own non-nuclear Chernobyl scenario?

So I said I wasn't going to post for a while if again, certainly not politard stuff. But I just watched Pat Robertson and Kellyanne Conway discuss Trump's best trait, she said it was humility.
Humility? Trump? That has to be fake news. Every time he opens his mouth it is about him, himself, the Donald. Heck, he probably thought the hurricane should have been called Trump and not Harvey, so he wouldn't be upstaged.
I will also post this on the "US national policy issues looming after healthcare" thread, as it is hilarious. Trump and humility, the only time those two go to together is in this sentence.

Trump pardon overplayed his hand. Mueller makes the next move in this chess game, work with state prosecutors to facilitate charging of state crimes, which the President cannot pardon:
https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/robert-mueller-just-undercut-trumps-use-of-the-pardon-power/2017/09/01/0d944b80-8e89-11e7-8df5-c2e5cf46c1e2_story.html?utm_term=.5e9b231d9ba5
But the presidential pardon power extends only to federal crimes. Trump can’t do anything about New York state charges, and he can’t fire Schneiderman. The possibility of serious state charges gives Mueller’s team critical potential leverage that the pardon power threatened to take away.
There’s no reason to think this federal-state cooperation will be limited to Manafort. Given the Trump organization’s base in New York, state law potentially could apply to any number of individuals whose actions might be scrutinized by the special counsel.
But political attacks aside, this is a big deal. By teaming with Schneiderman, Mueller has deftly removed one of the biggest potential obstacles to his investigation. If any Trump associates were feeling comforted by the president’s pardon power, things just got decidedly more uncomfortable.

Okay it is KOS, liberal but if the feed from Christian Broadcast is to be believed, and is not techno-changed (my word), I think one never know what is real nowadays with the way technology can fake things...
...And then she says how how much Trump and his family have sacrificed for him to be POTUS. A lot of golf trips to his resorts, paid for by the taxpayer, I wish I could sacrifice that.
https://www.dailykos.com/stories/2017/8/30/1694627/-Watch-Kellyanne-Conway-tell-the-Christian-Broadcasting-Network-that-humility-is-Trump-s-top-trait
And there is a clip on that URL that also shows Donald saying he is a humble man.
Hmmm, did I miss the definition of humility and humble when I was growing up learning words?
Really, you cannot make this stuff up. Truth is indeed stranger than fiction.
And was Kellyanne Conway and Anne Coulter separated at birth? Nah, about a five year difference, but then Satan does work in mysterious ways.
(NB I also posted this on another thread, I mean, comedy should be spread about. We all need a good laugh from time to time.)
EDIT
I mean come on Trump supporters, you can bleat all you want about why you think The Donald is good, and his good points, but humility? You have to admit, regardless of whatever good points or faults he may have, humility is not his game.
The guy is psychotic, a sociopath at least, it is so obvious. And he is our POTUS? We have had some questionable Presidents, take your pick depending on your views. But even the die-hard Trumpsters on the Taco Stand must see, the guy is not playing with a full deck.
I want the best for my country, though I may not Iive there, certainly we can do better than The Donald.

Even the Russkies are having doubts:
According to journalist Julia Davis, a Russian politician and host blasted President Donald Trump on Russian state TV — and even poked fun at suspicions that he works at the behest of Russian president Vladimir Putin.
“US doesn’t have an adequate President, just an elderly, barely competent, nervously weary, fussy showman,” Davis tweeted, translating the broadcast from Russian.
“So why did we elect such a President?” the host replied, to audience applause.
“Trump is a political infant, who is being severely swaddled,” the host continued, to which a female host replied, “and placed into geopolitical coffin.”

I'll bet Trump never played Risk. I just can't see him paying attention to something outside of his own reflection for that long.
Disclaimer: I probably only won about 15 percent of the time that I played -- always building around Afghanistan or something.

eeyonkee, your comment brought back many fond memories of playing Risk with my brothers. Aided by a bit of alcohol tempers would flair, vendettas would be sworn, pacts violated and carnage ensued. Good times.

I read the linked story--seems like the system has worked so far.
The cop was clearly in the wrong, no one got hurt, and the nurse is planning to use the legal system to vindicate her rights, if necessary.
What's the story other than some dumbass cop made a mistake, and will likely be held accountable? Oh boohoo, the nurse got handcuffed and put in a squad car for a few minutes.
I'm a little surprised by this reaction.
The cop clearly committed 2 crimes, assault and battery, on someone who was defending an innocent and helpless VICTIM. You can't even say the guy deserved it.
It also turns out that the victim is actually a cop from another jurisdiction, and the nurse is an Olympian.
I am reminded of a colleague, who when told about a guy on death row for 25 years, until DNA proved him innocent, said that the system worked fine, in spite of the falsified evidence, the exonerating evidence destroyed, the alibi witnesses not identified.
What's 25 years?
I'm also surprised that you don't have insight as to the effect of something like this on a person.

It would not be an unreasonable leap to expect such an out of control cop to draw a weapon and kill someone. I hope the nurse gets a good payday out of this.
