    Ironically, he will receive better healthcare in prison. Paid for by us.

    I guess the quality of fake IDs has gone up so much that nobody can spot one? Did the cops at McDonald’s even know it was fake? Or, only after they ran the name? I guess he could have faked out the DMV and got a real one with a fake name?

    See, this is what I am talking about. There is an entire segment of media that takes non-partisan issues and pushes those chips to the left. The right (lower IQ, less educated group data-wise) seems to gladly (and blindly) accept whatever their masters feed them.

    A Dem President has been sending all our money to Israel, but uh, left loves Palestine I guess.

    This is like when I was living in Texas during a time when Donald Trump & Greg Abbott were in office and shutdown non-essential business. But uh, let's blame the Dems somehow.

    Do you have the data showing Republican voters have lower IQ than Dems?

    They've got to keep the labor healthy.

    Abbott wants to prevent illegal immigrants from getting released from prison early.

    GEO (prison stock) is up NINETY SEVEN PERCENT since the election.

    Slave labor is BACK, baby!!! But instead of mom & pop having access to the labor, it's now reserved for private equity players making behind closed doors deals with politicians.

    GOOD LUCK

    Yes it is a real case - was out of Ohio if I remember correctly. A woman in Walmart called the police claiming a black man was walking around the store with a gun. The police came in and found him and he saw that the officer had pulled his service weapon on him, and so the kid tried to run and was shot and killed. This was probably a decade or so ago. It came out that it really was a child and not an adult - and there was a big civil suit over it. It was also a case that shined the light on their being a bias believing that black male children and teenagers were older than they actually are - which is something that law enforcement has tried to teach new recruits since then.

    There are a lot of tragic deaths - there are cases of officers being murdered while helping someone get their car to start - a case about 5 years ago of a newborn being shot in the face while her mother had her in a stroller.

    Yes. Their candidate choices.

    Particularly how the average Republican voter perceives extemporaneous expression of thought and it's connection to intelligence. For a large brunt of the GOP base, the mere ability to not regurgitate talking points that are coached is inherently intelligent even if the extemporaneous expression of thought is equivalent of the schizophrenic homeless guy you walked by this morning to work.

    Harris fearing extemporaneous expression because she comes from a traditional political background where every word and phrase is scrutinized means her fear of speaking extemporaneously is from a fear of sounding meandering and saying something they didn't mean to say. She isn't one of the liberal intellectual leaders in America like Obama was therefore she does not have the confidence to express thoughts beyond coached talking points because she simply isn't a deep thinker of policies and societial issues. Neither is Trump to even a worse extent but he doesn't have that restraint of fear of sounding like a dumbass when speaking extemporaneously.

    With Trump, he has zero fear of saying something unhinged. Therefore there is none of that hesitation to speak extemporaneously which leads to him ranting about how fat Rosie O'Donnell is when he's asked about marginal tax rates. But the GOP voting base finds that inherently intelligent for some reason which means they would find a homeless schizophrenic panhandling on the side of the street as extremely intelligent because their rants aren't coached.

    I don't want to ever hear about "woke" and "cancel culture" from far-right wing social media.

    They are every bit as giddy about canceling people and faux outrage as far-left wing media is.

    The dumb GOP can't even spell extemporaneous, much less use it 6x in a post like our D and D scholars.

    If suspect had listened to Chuck Mangione “ Feel so good”, he wouldn’t have to cancel Brian Thompson like that.:D

    This is an understatement, particularly with censorship now. ****ing Tom cotton introducing a bill to ban the word “West Bank”

    the only thing repugs have going is the dems are so much dumber and more cringe

    Alvin Bragg will absolutely sabotage any murder prosecution in this case.
