It truly boggles my mind how anyone can see a $6 billion policing budget in ONE city alone - which is more than we spend on health, youth, housing, and homelessness services here *combined* - and say, “You know what will fix police brutality? More money”

I hate the blues because it's black music. So I stick to rap.

My god, those Comments. The Cypress Hill one made me wet myself. The dishwasher put me over the edge.

When they all get old enough they can join in with the folks who want the government to keep its hands off their Medicare and social security....

NASCAR's appeal has cratered very deeply. This might literally kill them. If there were going to be fans in the stands or infields right now there is no way they'd try this. Just like there is no way Bubba Wallace would be running a car in Black Lives Matter livery if there were going to be fans in the stands. They throw empties on the track if the wrong driver wins. If that car circled around in front of what is left of their fanbase I doubt they'd wait until their empties were empty. They'd throw full cans of Bud at it.

Kep, when did you switch careers from TV writing?

(also, how did the update take away the ability to embed a tweet?)

lol

What will they cover themselves with when they're deep-dicking their cousin in the infield?

Their Dale Earnhardt flags.


Also, I was amused by this line in the article:

“The presence of the confederate flag at NASCAR events runs contrary to our commitment to providing a welcoming and inclusive environment for all fans, our competitors and our industry,”

Thats real rich coming from the same sanctioning body who gave absolutely zero sh**s about homophobia for the better part of 20 years with Jeff Gordon and the DuPont rainbow paint scheme.

If you were wondering how utterly useless the NYT is, trending tonight is "Paw Patrol" because they saw sarcastic tweets and thought that meant what was next on the list after COPS and Live PD

If you read Republican tweets Jay Inslee is a radical left governor who let Seattle fall to terrorists (that Trump is threatening to stop...the guy loves to double up on his stupid mistakes) and apparently tearing down statues of racists, murders and slave traders makes the Left the American Taliban according to the Zodiac Killer. I am not even sure Chuck Murray and Jeb2020 are stupid enough to buy that ****e.

Tearing down those statues is rewriting history...despite the fact that I learned all about the Civil War and the Confederacy in Minneota without ever seeing them. And Great Britain is part of our history too, and you don't see New Englanders pasting the Union Jack all over the place.

Even if I was inclined to accept that the Confederate Statues had value (not saying you are saying that just speaking in general) Christopher Columbus has zero value. The BS myth that people believe about him has been proven false all the way around. He is renowned for getting lost. He did nothing of value.

You gotta love it though...taking a knee is insulting the Flag but worshiping at the alter of a bunch of treasonous rebels who literally ****ed on the idea of the US and took up arms against it and its flag somehow honors the Flag. The logic is amazing in its ridiculous stupidity.

Speaking of that:

Co-owners of the Washington Missourian in Franklin County, Mo., resigned in protest Wednesday over the newspaper’s decision to publish a syndicated cartoon that satirizes the defunding of police departments.

“We believe it was racist and in no circumstance should have been published,” Susan Miller Warden and Jeanne Miller Wood wrote about the cartoon in a message to readers. “We apologize to our readers and our staff for the obvious pain and offense it caused.”
That choice to publish was made by their father.

In the cartoon, by Tom Stiglich of Creators Syndicate, a light-skinned woman screams, “Help!! Somebody call 911!” A darker-skinned man who is attempting to snatch her purse says: “Good luck with that, lady. … We defunded the police,” a reference to a proposal that some activists have put forward to reform law enforcement.

Bill Miller Sr., the paper’s editor and publisher, put the cartoon in the paper “without our knowledge,” the co-owners wrote. “We saw the cartoon at the same time as our readers and were just as outraged and horrified as our staff and community.

“Had we known we would have vehemently fought against publishing it,” they continued. “We believe this is the reason we were kept in the dark about its publication.”

Miller Sr. apologized for the cartoon Wednesday afternoon on the newspaper’s site, calling it “racially insensitive” and saying that his decision to publish it showed “poor judgement on my part.”

The Right Wing narrative about what is going on in Seattle is hilarious. The Police abandon the East District so a bunch of hipsters take it over and show movies and get medical supplies and you would think it was open war on the streets. The Capitol Hill Autonomous Zone is pulling a Cliven Bundy and the Trumpsters are falling all over themselves to look like hypocrites because of it.

Article about Trump's threats. The clown never learns.

“Take back your city NOW,” Mr. Trump wrote in a tweet directed at Mayor Jenny Durkan and Gov. Jay Inslee. “If you don’t do it, I will. This is not a game.”

The president added, “Domestic Terrorists have taken over Seattle, run by Radical Left Democrats, of course. LAW & ORDER!”

Ms. Durkan responded with a tweet of her own: “Make us all safe. Go back to your bunker.”

At gatherings on Wednesday afternoon, protesters held discussions about their priorities, listening to speeches and poetry while children drew with chalk on the street. There was no violence or looting, and the city’s fire chief wandered around the area talking with protesters about their needs and a collaborative path forward.

And yet if you listen tot he MAGAytes there are armed warlords roaming the streets of Seattle terrorizing everyone.

Cop defenders ain’t gonna love this

“A band of more than 1,400 current and former professional athletes and coaches from the NFL, NBA and MLB is calling on Congress to support legislation eliminating qualified immunity, the legal protection that officers have for their actions when they are on duty. Those who signed the letter include Tom Brady, Steve Kerr and Drew Brees, among others.

"When police officers kill an unarmed man, when they beat a woman, or when they shoot a child, the people of this country must have a way to hold them accountable in a court of law."

[Kepler]

It's a start.

I am not even sure Chuck Murray and Jeb2020 are stupid enough to buy that ****e.

They are.
