Why not just rerun the Jon Lovitz as Dukakis sketch from when SNL was funny? Same mood in the room but it's actually worth airing.
I suppose technically they're not wrong. They're just pissed at the wrong people. Democrats are so systemically racist it's in their platform.
I'm really coming around to the conspiracy theory that someone has dirt on him. When it really matters his rulings are in lockstep with the garbage leftists. When it matters less, sometimes he bothers to get it right.
Oh crap! Mine too!
Although according to the left, neither one of them is black.
I said pretty much the exact same thing in a comment a few hours ago. Nice to see it as a meme.
I keep hearing about second waves in California and Texas, but I won't take those reports seriously until I see a reliable source weigh in with good numbers. I'm not willing to give the MSM the benefit of the doubt on anything unless it disputes their narrative, because only then can I trust they're being (reluctantly) truthful.
Some might call this confirmation bias, but I'm willing to accept inconvenient facts. What I'm not willing to do is take them at face value without a lot of convincing. If the media tells me something that advances leftist crap, I assume it's most likely either fake news or inflated ridiculously in a way that suits their bias. If they say something that makes their side look bad, I believe it because I know they were forced to accept it after checking 100 times. In those rare cases, the truth is actually much more stark than even what they admit to.
The only times I question news that's good for the center or the right are when it comes from a friendly source, or a frenemy source like Fox.
Clarence Thomas is a national treasure. I wish the other justices were all copies of him, but younger.
What the actual fuck? An executive order is just a stroke of a pen and can be undone the same way. Trump needs no justification whatsoever to end DACA and he certainly doesn't need to take hardships of its recipients into account.
He should draft the exact same order but add some token, transparently silly justification to it just to throw this back in the court's face. Their ruling is unconstitutional and he is free to ignore it.
I don't feel a new executive order is free from their scrutiny, but repealing an old one should never be in the court's purview.
I thought of that, but the driver is probably some poor schmo working for a charter company. So if the driver got off safely, then I don't care what happens to the bus after that.
I wouldn't be sorry to see those buses raided.
If he were blaming the Chinese as a race instead of their horrible government or the wet market culture... sort of, I guess? But is anyone really stupid enough to think that this happened because of race? It happened because China's despotic government kept people poor and kept wet markets going, has encouraged a culture of shoddy attention to detail that reverberated through their medical research labs right next door to one of those wet markets, and then decided as they always do to cover up the truth to save face instead of standing up and being forthright.
I wish people who get hit with accusations of racial insensitivity by idiots who think everything is about race would have the balls to strike back and call out that stupidity for what it is. Although the people with those balls don't get invited to speak at climate change reform events in the first place.
I read the order. I like the order. I think it's really pushing to address problems that exist in police departments, and prevent bad apples from jumping from one position to another instead of leaving law enforcement entirely.
Could more be done? Sure. But I haven't seen one single Democrat offering specific solutions.
I read the order and it looks good. You could perhaps argue it doesn't go far enough, but I think giving the order a chance to reform things is an important first step. I especially liked that it seeks to prevent loopholes like officers hopping to another department while under investigation, so it has some teeth.
I'm with you on this. BLM is a bullshit movement and the claims they make of systemic racism are both over-inflated and the fault of their Democrat masters. But any fool can see there are issues in the justice system at every level that need to be reformed: police training, making sure bad apples get fired, prosecutorial misconduct, bad judges, a broken penal system. All of those issues transcend race but they hit the black community hardest—mostly for reasons that are the fault of a damaged culture celebrating thugs and encouraging broken families, but still.
Although I don't like this being done without a simultaneous show of force against the violent Antifa losers, I do think it's otherwise a politically wise move. More than that, Trump has proven time and again that he actually cares greatly about all Americans and does not take minorities for granted, so I think he's mostly doing this simply because it's the right thing to do.
This. Get some of them dead and this will stop.
Shoot at laser until fucker drops it from blood loss. Problem solved.
And yet, I was glad to see him get hurt anyway.
Was one of those "positive" changes Joe Biden's 1994 crime bill? Most of the alleged systemic racism people are protesting about comes down to bad Democrat policies.
The LA riots of '92 did not make anything better for the justice system, the black community, or anyone or anything else.
Considering they hired him in the first place, yeah. Besides, probably everyone else at the school except for a small, silent minority who keep quiet about politics agrees with him.
I agree with a lot of what you say, actually, but the reason there's the "knee-jerk" reaction of burning the whole school system down and replacing it with something else is that the system is so totally rotten I don't think it's possible to tear it down by half-measures. Although just getting school choice into place, finally, would be a step in the right direction.
Our school system was designed for eras long gone, and has been infiltrated completely with idiots and the harmful ideologies they bring with them. It's utterly broken and I don't think it can be fixed. This is why people are all about ending the school system, because we have the chance to replace it with something better.
To me this is a very different stance than the "defund the police" garbage the left has been peddling. Obviously we'll always need police. There may be some departments that need to be torn down and rebuilt from scratch to root out corruption or a culture of standing behind lousy officers instead of correcting them, but the concept of a police department isn't broken. The justice system might be another story, but even then the bones are good. The same can't be said of the school system; everything about it is messed up, right down to the fact that we separate kids into grades by age and expect them to all be at the same level. The only thing I think our school system gets right is the summer break.
I agree. I'm disgusted by how much academic crap teachers have to go through, for no reason. Does having a master's degree or a doctorate make you a better teacher? No. There are mechanics and beauticians and linemen and everything in between who are every bit as qualified to teach math, history, cooking, wood/metal shop.
Imagine if anyone who had the appropriate knowledge and could handle a class could teach, regardless of their own degrees. Imagine them not having to repay insanely expensive student loans, just getting right to teaching.
Those effeminate eyes... I can smell the soy milk from here.
Those are the black lives that actually matter.
Not even a race issue. If you're a rioter and a looter I don't care what your race is; you've just told the world your life doesn't matter and you're openly daring some innocent person defending their property to shoot you.
That's why I want these people dead now. Destroy this evil movement before our "leaders" let it destroy civilization.
Boy, white supremacists sure are getting diverse.
