Why do our children live in constant fear of dehydration? I spent my entire childhood without carrying an ounce of water on my person but my kids are treated like beached orcas.
"Did you know that your lawyers messed up and sent me your entire cell phone texting history 12 days ago and that's how I know you lied to me about having text messages about Sandy Hook?"
Holy shit.
I'll never forget the time our cat killed a bunny in the yard and my daughter, 5 watched stone faced while I buried him.
"That will stop him from eating the cilantro," she said.
It was the first moment I worried she might grow up to be a prosecutor
Wait so people started pointing out that it looked like the cop may have lied about the name “PIG” being printed on his Starbucks order, and now suddenly — after going to the press with the story — the cops are done talking b/c they “have more important things to worry about.” 🤔
Georgia makes it a crime to move or eliminate monuments to the fight for slavery
So my hometown, left with no other option, put up this sign for context.
When we say that reporters are often stenographers for police, this is what we mean.
Here's a story of a woman's whose money was taken without due process or any allegation of a crime. And the focus of the story is... a cute dog?

Republicans do not have a House majority because of gerrymandering. They have a majority because Democrats live bunched together, making their majorities slightly bigger, but giving Republicans a few more seats.
My takeaway from the most recent scary, terrible thing to happen during a traffic stop is the same as it's always been.
There's no good reason to have 90% of traffic stops in a world where the police can run your tags and text a ticket to the owner of the car.
James Madison: Now I'm going to put this 9th Amendment here to remind you that people have some rights that we haven't specifically listed here. Obviously we couldn't cover everything.
SCOTUS: Got it just the list
Pride was never such a controversial thing when it was gay men and lesbians. Sure, there were issues, but no major public backlash till Pride also meant celebrating people with mental health disorders who bully those who disagree with them.
Georgia has passed a law forbidding bail funds from contributing to people's bonds.
It is worth noting that when MLK was bailed out of Birminghan jail, he didn't fund his own bond. The United Auto Workers, and others, pooled tens of thousands of dollars to liberate him.
A Georgia man has been in jail without trial for ten years. He was 22 when he was arrested. He is 32 now. His codefendants have been acquitted.
And the GPDC has not given him a new lawyer nearly a year after his contract attorney withdrew.
Breaking: St. Louis Police have now filed felony assault charges against a Bar:PM co-owner. The incident began when police crashed their SUV into the LGBTQ bar in the early hours this morning
Scott Adams has the best Twitter job in the world where he is just like "why have we never seen any evidence that trees exist?" and then is like "seems i really touched a nerve with so called botanists"
A Michigan judge has denied the Trump campaign's motion to cease certification of the vote in Detroit, noting that if the election challengers had attended orientation, they would know that what they were witnessing was routine.
Let me help you.
It's dumb as shit. Illegal immigrants can't vote. We don't even have a path to citizenship for people who came here illegally as children and never committed a crime.
Musk's claim relies on you being fucking stupid.
When George Orwell wrote that the future was a boot stamping on a human face forever, I don't think he knew how many people would identify with the boot.
BREAKING: I'm filing an ethics complaint against
@SpeakerPelosi
for destroying
@realDonaldTrump
's State of the Union speech.
Her conduct was beneath the dignity of the House, and a potential violation of law (18 USC 2071).
Nobody is above the law. She must be held accountable.
Every Elon Musk tweet is like "why are people complaining about a water shortage when there is an ocean of delicious seawater around us" and then responding to criticism by vowing to shoot otters
OJ Simpson's biggest legacy was giving people the impression that guilty people are acquitted due to shifty defense lawyers, when the lesson should have been that many prosecutions do not hold up to public scrutiny.
All jokes aside,
@Sethrogen
is a moron.
It’s your party that believes in govt power: to shut your business, to oppress your faith & to censor your speech.
Anyone who disagrees, they try to cancel.
BTW, a lot of folks in Hollywood are conservative—& muzzled by the fascist Left.
If one of my clients posted pictures of a judge's children on social media he'd probably have his bond revoked.
It's a seriously fucking crazy thing to do.
Listen, it's fine. Nobody is actually a free speech absolutist and we all draw the line somewhere.
It's just that Musk is cool with batshit conspiracy theories or blaming society's ills on particular minority groups and not ok with people being scolded for those things.
If saying that a dude from your own party has a "death wish" because you think one of your supporters might kill him and calling his wife "coco chow" doesn't strike you as a fairly major breach of decorum, then I am skeptical you're really all that into the sanctity of flutes.
@april_harding
Taibbi released exchanges showing he promised not to criticize Elon Musk. His audience is mostly right leaning.
He doesn't criticize Republicans because it would upset his readers. This other stuff is just palaver.
If Republicans really want a more moderate choice, it will take only five of them to vote for Hakeem Jeffries.
What's that you say, it's insane to expect people to vote for the other party to be speaker?
Right.
Remember, Democrats may say they want more responsible Republican leadership, but they will side against that every chance they get - and then complain if anyone tries to hold them responsible for their own choices.
New York juries are so biased they will find a dude liable based on nothing more than eyewitness testimony, contemporaneous accounts of that testimony, other victims, failure to testify, a disastrous deposition, and a taped admission to doing the thing he's accused of.
This is the most boomer shit ever.
Were kids in the 1950's more respectful in public or is everyone who could remember what a pain in the ass they were dead?
No Republican president could have someone pose topless on the White House lawn at an official event FOLLOWED BY cocaine being found in the White House and not have the media just go absolutely bat shit insane.
They are focusing on Justice Thomas because he is going to write the majority opinion striking down Affirmative Action on college campuses - something a vast majority of Americans support, including latinos and Asians - and they want to get him to tamper it down.
I graduated from Rutgers University with my PharmD degree and have been working at an oncology research company. My company applied for the H1B visa lottery - my fate in this country was left to chance, and sadly, I was not selected.
I liked Stephen Colbert better when he was a hilarious parody of a clueless right wing pundit rather than a hilarious parody of a clueless left wing pundit

MLK routinely requested permits and court orders before marching, he marched in the places where the injustice was occurring, and he paired those matches, boycotts, and protests with concrete, actionable proposals.
Other than that you're identical.
This is the white liberal. These are the things that the white liberal says. These are the people that Dr. king, writing 60 years ago, said are more devoted to order than justice; to the absence of tension than presence of peace.
To be clear: Ben Shapiro is arguing that it should be illegal to discuss the existence of gay people in schools, because a small, vocal minority of people believe being gay is wrong. And he says opposition to this law is tyrannical.
Tim Miller demands that he decide how and in what context your 6-year-old child is taught about same-sex marriage. Your opinions and your children are of no consequence to him. And if you don't let him have his way, he will be very hurt. Because he is the priority, not your kids.
A lot of people are responding with statistics showing that crime is down, but the article itself is far funnier.
"Ok technically it is one of the safest cities in America and yes I guess crime is declining"
Tell me about a common historical myth that makes your hackles rise. I don't mean actual disinformation like Holocaust denial; I mean stuff like "Napoleon was short!"
For me it's probably "corsets were torture devices for the rich" and "romantic love is a very modern concept."
I can understand the concerns with Amazon removing hosting for Parler.
I just wish they weren't coming from people who approved of the government charging Amazon more for postage to punish it for the Washington Post.
As this Powerline blog post shows, that expert confused Minnesota and Michigan. He was counting the population of towns in Minnesota, seeing they did not match Michigan towns, and finding fraud.
As part of my grand jury empanelments, I ask the groups about probable cause. Everyone knows the term but no one has any idea what it means. At least not when they arrive -- they all can when they leave!
Traffic stops make police officers nervous, because they're constantly told that they could be shot at any moment.
And they make citizens nervous, for kind of the same reason.
You don’t want U.S. law enforcement dusting off some rarely used, long-forgotten statute and apply it in some way that it has never been applied before.
If the Constitution really made states powerless to defend themselves against an invasion, it wouldn’t have been ratified in the first place and Texas would have never joined the union when it did.
TX is upholding the law while Biden is flouting it.
FL will keep assisting…
Nobody in the world who supports qualified immunity is ever actually asked the difficult question: why should it be legal for police officers to break the law?
Dan Crenshaw is a liar. The request he signed onto was to prevent states from voting in the electoral college or, in the alternative, to simply ignore the popular vote and have state legislators decide who will be President.
The left-wing outrage is predictably over the top. The request here is simple: allow this case to be elevated to the Supreme Court, and let the Supreme Court make a determination. All cases should be heard, all investigations should be thorough. It is that simple.
Japan killed literally millions of civilians. They bayoneted Filipino babies and raped tens of thousands of Korean and Chinese women. Millions more were conscripted into labor.
Also, they declared war on us.
Japan only killed sub 100 civilians on December 7th, 1941. In response, we killed over 100,000 people in Tokyo in one night and nuked cities.
Yes, we actually did overreact. It wasn't a just reaction.
And comparing the Gaza Strip to Imperial Japan is incredibly dishonest.
If you are ever arrested, the two biggest things you can do to help yourself:
1. Be polite and reasonable with the officer. If he responds by acting like a jerk, that just helps you more when a jury looks at the video.
2. Politely decline to answer questions.
Brad Coker with Mason-Dixon Polling nails it on the visual contrast a DeSantis-Biden showdown would project.
DeSantis projects a youthful vitality that would stand in stark contrast to Joe zbiden’s carcass-like appearance.
Why is it that anecdotal evidence is sufficient to prove systemic bias against conservatives, but insufficient to prove it against racial minorities, even when combined with reams of data?
You know what would really piss off the authorities? Getting arrested and raising a strong 1a general demurrer.
Which you can't do if you keep getting caught doing arrestable stuff on camera.
