Appreciated. Still seems like nothing to me, but I sorta grasp it better thanks to your explanation.

For… hiring someone she knew. I’m still not seeing it, unless there’s evidence that she was dragging the case out, as you say.

Admittedly, even trying to see the right-wing perspective gives me acid indigestion, but can someone explain-like-I’m-5 why the DA’s romantic life has any bearing on the matter?

Huh. Kinda surprising that there’s a lawsuit, that this is allegedly against some rule. It’s America, so I just assumed, if your parents are rich and you want to go to some elite college, of course you’re extra welcome. Here, have an pillow with the university’s logo embroidered on it.

What a kick in the victims’ teeth. Commuting this guy’s sentence is Trump-level corrupt, one of the more despicable things Biden has done.

Yeah, truly.

When we were uninsured more than twenty years ago, my wife went to an emergency room with horrendous internal pain, waited three hours to see a doctor who prescribed extra-strength Pepto-Bismol and missed what we later learned was the obvious diagnosis of gallstones. The bill was a bit more than three grand.

Best, calmest explanation I’ve seen, thanks.

Dudes really just want me to protest outside of the White House.

Dudes want you to die.

To appease right-wing lunatics, there are going to be official investigations into each and all their bonkers theories —

• Was the 2020 election stolen?
• Is Joe Biden a criminal?
• What’s the Clinton body count?
• Where was Obama really born?
• Are all Democrats a Satan-worshipping cabal of cannibalistic pedophiles?
• and soooo much more…

A pervy cop would enjoy showing the images that way, but other than that, no.

It’s a right-wing source peddling right-wing fantasies. Ukraine probably lost the war on November 5th.

Good news, and also hilarious! May these two rotten corporations claw at each other in court forever!

“Enhanced interrogation” is when I went over and out, too, and NPR has only gotten worse. I never listen any more, but occasionally read their news coverage online. It’s adequate, by the current awful standards of mainstream journalism. No worse than my local paper, but also no better.

Might be the best news coverage on the radio, though, and I’d oppose bludgeoning the NPR budget, same as I’ll oppose everything Trump and his maniacs do.

the very real possibility of police shutting them down

Has this “very real possibility” happened to any social media platform in America?

Critics argue the settlement falls short of justice for victims who endured horrific conditions.

Falls short of justice so long as the owner, Bob Dean Jr, can afford a bank account.

I have a right-wing neighbor who voted Trump three times, says climate change is a hoax, and hates me for sometimes wearing a tie-dye jacket, but he says with a grin all over his face, “Did you hear about that insurance CEO who got shot dead?” and he laughs and laughs and gives me a thumbs-up.

America stands united.

Trump is going to appoint this guy to run the DEA.

Skepticism-deprived people — eager to believe and spread obvious untruths like what you’ve posted — are the biggest danger America faces.

Tried that, but unfortunately, I have a distinctive tattoo in a distinctive place.

Most people don’t give a shit about politics. They hear some rich fuckwad say “Mexicans are stealing your jobs” and “Haitians are eating chihuahuas” and “The schools are changing Timmys into Tinas,” and it’s oh my god they gotta vote for Trump. It’s not intellectual, it’s reptilian.

How do we get through to them, all the victims who <i>know</i> they’re victims, but never figure out who’s victimizing them? That’s the insolvable riddle-me-this-Batman.
