This is like when the Queen was at a livestock show and they brought in some cows. She leaned toward Prince Phillip, pointed at the cows, and said, “Cows!” Why? Because there were cows, I guess.

And he’s the kind of person who’ll just keep stepping further over the line until the hammer finally comes down. Judges know this type, and they usually throw them in jail sooner because they know the violations will only get worse.
But I doubt this guy’s ever going to jail. He’s rich and famous, so…different rules.
And don’t forget to watch the stunning 1989 sequel, C.H.U.D. II: Bud the C.H.U.D.
Who? And where was the conference? How do you pronounce those? Does anybody here speak Welsh?
“Taking matters into their own hands,” as in “considering options for suicide.”
Let’s hear it again for white privilege. Muslim kid visits the wrong website, Guantanamo Bay for life. MAGA storms the fucking Capitol building, “potential” terrorists.
Or his preferred candidate. The GOP majority is too small for anyone to get elected speaker without his approval. He has enough sock puppets in the House to block anyone he doesn’t like. That’s why it took more than a dozen votes to confirm McCarthy, and why McCarthy was removed. Gaetz didn’t make that call himself.
The only way anyone else could become speaker is if a few Republicans did what’s best for the country and voted for Jeffries. But that ain’t happening.
Riiiiiiiight. And the First Amendment makes me immune from prosecution if I yell, “FIRE!” in a crowded theater.
Everyone should read Ian Kershaw’s two-volume biography of Hitler if you really want to be scared. The volumes are titled “Hubris” and “Nemesis.” Once you realize how goddamned ordinary Hitler was, you start seeing guys like him everywhere. As soon as the correct circumstances present themselves, we’re fucked.
Bit of context: The unit these officers were part of, 9th mobile, was created to terrorize people in the West End of Louisville, which has a majority African-American population. Its predecessor was called “VIPER.” It took years and several scandals before the cops realized “VIPER” was not a good name, and they needed to call it something less offensive. “9th mobile” is a less-offensive name, but it was the same racist shit that VIPER had been doing.
I don’t know why Jason Riley wrote this without mentioning the racial aspect, but he might have been assuming people from Louisville would understand. But for those of you not from Louisville: this is the context.
Yes, absolutely. It’s not just a credit-card number, it’s personal data tied to your entire Twitter history. He’ll sell your personal data to advertisers and assorted crooks who can then target you based on what you tweet, search, view, and so on.
