Trump was just sort of passively non religious, I think. Zuck seems like the kind of guy who made fun of people for believing in God on message boards in the early 2000s.

I say some sexism because I think a big Conservative motivator was to stop with the "it's my turn" social politics of voting.


And yet nobody thinks anything of electing two white men in a row, though.

So glad to see justice finally served.

I kinda hope he serves the maximum - 20 years in prison - because of how many people could've potentially died from being unable to afford the life-saving drug that he raised the price of 5,000 percent.

People's lives are more important than profit.

Uncharismatic men get similar treatement.

Off the top of my head, Jefferson, Nixon, Carter, Ford, Harding, Hoover, and JQA all say hello. I'm sure there were more, too.

Heck, it's worth remembering that Nixon -- one of the most uncharismatic hunks of flesh ever to enter the White House -- was also obscenely popular right up until Watergate.

Nixon and earlier had a pre-TV environment.

Besides, imagine Hillary saying, "I am not a crook." If she could say that, openly and directly, with no word games, like Nixon did, she might have won.

I guess it's a quantity vs. quality debate.

Obama had a higher quality (i.e. foaming at the mouth hatred).
Polling says Trump is literally more hated than Obama at this point, so he gets the quantity!

Fuck Sessions.

National security leaks should probably be investigated (though I think you could argue some of them were justified). Non-classified leaks are Trump's own damn fault for running such a shitshow (and spoilers: some of the biggest leakers are Jared and Ivanka). Hands off the journalists in either case.

Anyway, have we talked about how the newest target of the pro-Trump propaganda machine is McMaster?

I was going to wisecrack about Jeff Sessions not going after Purdue Pharma for starting an opioid epidemic (which my city somewhat famously is suing them for), but actually he has done some stuff to combat that, so ok, that's good.

Marijuana and oxycontin aren't the same damn thing though

grand jury is basically "I think I got a case, jury, please confirm that I've got a case." i assume Mueller is moving to get that step done so he can later make the claim that there's a case of impeachment open, which would prevent pardons.

Indeed.

Grand Jury doesn't need "proof and evidence of guilt beyond a reasonable doubt".

Guilt and innocence has nothing to do with it at that stage. It merely needs a "evidence enough to warrant a trial to begin with".


And it would be pretty shocking with the wealth of evidence available if they were not able to at least make a case to start a trial at this point.

Officer pulls a car over for speeding, is so concerned after seeing the passenger make a motion to reach under the seat after asking them for their papers that he holds a gun on him for over 9 minutes until backup arrives.

I like this part of the response from the police department justifying it:
We understand that it is never a comfortable position to have a gun pointed at you, regardless of whether it is a police officer.


LOL no shit

While yeah this IS kind of ridiculous, at least no one got hurt. I wish the officer that murdered Castille could have just held the gun at him instead of shooting him 7 times

To be fair, somebody is more likely to keep a gun under a seat than papers. >_>

It seems a little obsessive, but it's a step in the right direction. He didn't shoot.
