Saw this yesterday. I've never seen the current political climate laid out so succinctly.

Well, I mean, they weren't cheering the quote. They were cheering the name drop. Not really unexpected. Would probably happen anywhere under the same circumstances.

They were cheering the quote because they thought Trump said it.

They were cheering cuz he said Donald Trump.

Just like if you went to a patriots rally and someone said a quote followed by Tom Brady. Then after they all cheered you said nope just kidding the guy who hit him low and knocked him out for the season said it!

No one cared what that quote was that was cheering. Normal situation. Would happen in basically every environment.

Pretty sure if someone said "As President Obama once said... Grab Em' By the Pussy" most people wouldn't applaud. They'd be appalled.

The Russian Witch Hunt Hoax continues, all because Jeff Sessions didnt tell me he was going to recuse himself...I would have quickly picked someone else. So much time and money wasted, so many lives ruined...and Sessions knew better than most that there was No Collusion!


Lives ruined?


While I disagree with Sessions on...well, just about everything, I really respect him for doing the right thing here in spite of constant, public ridicule by his goon of a boss.

I'm getting tense for the upcoming primary in California.

I'm in the 49th, and feel pretty good about Applegate. He's not a lock, but I chatted with him yesterday, and

A) He's been talking to constituents, and a lot of them have said that they've already voted through early voting (for him), which is often a good sign.

B) He's military in a military heavy district, which means he overperforms. (He ran in 2016, and came within a razor thin margin of unseating the incumbent massively outpacing the polling; and the incumbent has now retired which means he's walking in with the most name recognition).

I'm also going to be watching the senate race, where I think I like Alison Haartson. Her polling has been weaker, but within margin of error. TBH I don't think she's as strong of a candidate as Applegate but the senate race is also at risk of being really boring if she doesn't win, like...Feinstein vs that nazi guy, or Feinstein vs someone with pretty similar positions to Feinstein (pro death penalty, anti legalization of Marijuana).

I was super unimpressed by Haartson's reddit ama. She does not seem to have a substantive grasp of the issues (which is true of Feinstein on some issues like tech/privacy stuff, but this was on almost everything).

I don't think it's all that strong of a point when the defense is "They could have said anything and they would have cheered as long as it was said to come from Trump! The quote didn't matter!"

tbf kneeling is literally only offensive to the snowflake scumbags who are so ignorant that they choose to be offended instead of understanding it.

It just so happens that the president of the united states and his followers make up a large chunk of that group.

A US judge who was widely criticised for his leniency towards a campus rapist has been removed from office by voters.

"Such elections are rare - the last time a US judge was recalled was in 1977.

Tuesday's vote in Santa Clara County marks the first time a Californian judge has been removed in this way for more than 80 years."

Turner, 20 at the time, was seen by two other students sexually assaulting his victim behind a rubbish bin outdoors in January 2015.

The trial heard how the victim, then 22, was intoxicated to the point of unconsciousness after attending a party on campus.

In March 2016, Turner was found guilty of three felony charges and faced up to 14 years in prison. Prosecutors had asked for a six-year term.

But he was handed the much shorter six-month sentence and three years probation after Judge Persky expressed concern about the impact prison would have on him.

He cited the Turner's age, lack of criminal record and the fact that both the perpetrator and the victim were intoxicated. "

The Brock Turner ruling was super wrong, but I still really disagree with recalling the judge. Judges shouldn't be taking public opinion into account in their rulings.

I've also seen some people bring up the concern that it could make judges warier about being lenient in sentencing in general (I don't think rapists deserve any leniency, but if that thinking extends to things like drug sentences it could be bad).

You're giving him way too much credit. It was the British who burned down the white house, not the Canadians. I suppose he might deserve a point for knowing it had to do with Canada.

Also if we're being honest, he probably thought it happened in 2012. (I almost said 14, but then realized Trump probably thinks the War of 1812 would only take place in 1812)
