  1. Dude come on, this is a ridiculous take. This law is to protect people who are attacked by rioters, like families in their cars, or truckers like Reginald Denny or Bogdan Vechirko. Get off of Twitter and think for yourself.
  2. Not really. Cancel culture is the response to people voicing their opinion. If that opinion is not in line with the extremely vocal minority, a coordinated attack will occur on them and their livelihood. Look at what happened to Stephen King when he commented about how he views matters of art. There was a full on assault. Or, if they offer no opinion at all, like Home Depot, they are boycotted.
  3. You should watch the video, it's good to get out of the trenches every now and then. Maher is one of the few guys with the balls to admit that his side acts like asshats too. Edit: and take it easy with demonizing everyone you disagree with, it tends to have a "cry wolf" effect.
  4. Aaron Maybin. For the art. And to take some heat off of Edmunds on the defense.
  5. Murdoch's ownership doesn't mean that BBC reporters are as prone to editorializing as the US press, its a cultural difference imo.
  6. True, and if an organization BLM really wants to fix the problem they would try and get more blacks in law enforcement.
  7. Not really. BBC news is the closest I think I've found to an unbiased news source for US news. Do you have a better one?
  8. That's one, and specific to this incident. My response was in general to what can be done to fix the relationship between the black community and the police. You don't think that would help? Maybe I should have said "successfully hire", lol.
  9. I would love to find a news organization in this country that strives for accurate reporting without a partisan slant in either direction, and shuns editorialization. Ironically the closest think I have found to date is the BBC.
  10. I think a good start would be to try and recruit more blacks into urban police forces, and not just as token hires.
  11. I'm still waiting for teams to figure out Brady's dink and dunk style. It's gotta happen eventually, and I bet THIS IS THE YEAR!!!
  12. Does anyone know how many drop boxes there were in 2016? Was this maybe a covid thing?
  13. So were her illegal actions the cause of her getting shot?
  14. Where are you getting the diagnosis of mental illness from, Motorin'?
  15. I was hoping it was going to be: Vet Minimum, with a couple of fracking wells on the side.
  16. I have tried many times.
  17. Come on, man, you can't call a guy Chef Jim Crow 13 times in one thread and then call foul when he says you're acting foolish and not very lawerly. At least not if you don't want people to think you're a hypocritical delta bravo. I don't love everything about this law, but to claim that it's Jim Crow on Steroids is offensive to the folks who endured Jim Crow. I think we should make it so everyone can easily get a state of government issued ID for free, and use that free ID to vote. I don't think anyone should be able to drive a van around and pay homeless people in food and liquor to vote for their party, but I do think that polling stations can have water on hand for people that forget to bring it themselves. We can have a both a secure election where Americans can easily cast their vote, as long as we all stop acting like a$$holes to each other.
  18. You want to talk about emission caps? Sure, it's a good topic, but it doesn't belong in an infrastructure spending bill.
  19. What laws do you think could/should be added? Its a spending bill. And a 3 trillion opposition free bill is holding pretty much all of the cards here.
  20. Anti-democratic, you say? That's weird. What famous politician once said that the Senate is where “you can always slow things down and make sure that a minority gets a voice”?
  21. Their choice is to accept everything the Dems put into the already massive "infrastructure" bill and maybe get a few scraps thrown in for their own states, or get absolutely nothing at all and be called obstructionist Nazis by the media. The only thing they'd be compromising on here is their integrity, but I feel like you should know that. There is no such think as compromise when one side holds all of the cards. WTF does this mean, Tibs?
  22. Seriously? Didn't you think it was a scumbag move when the Republicans did it at the time? I did. This is not how our government is supposed to work. And it's not a compromise when one side doesn't give anything up.
  23. Hooray for loopholes, I guess. In a 2 party system, do you think that end-arounding one party entirely is a good thing?
  24. Dude, It's 2021, you shouldn't use that term anymore. The proper term is Tweediots.
