    Hate to break it to you but I doubt there are many Rockets fans in my neighborhood. Of course there aren't many Timberwolves fans in my neighborhood either.

    There's not many Rockets fans in Katy either

    And

    there's definitely NOT MANY ROCKETS FANS IN THE D&D

    if you run the numbers of posters who have not contributed and where they post, it's obvious we got some posters who didn't join for pure reasons

    Gee, Jonathan, what could possibly explain the different focus of CNN and FOX.
    Amazing twitter content, Jonathan.


    Did Jonathan used to be smart before he went whole hog for the attention economy?

    I have long respected Jonathan Turley. But his MO has definitely changed. I'm not sure why.

    I think it really is the attention economy. You don't get retweeted and liked for deeply thoughtful content. He is smart and he knows this. You know, there's the liberal equivalent of Turley... what's his name? Tribe or something like that. Tripe? LOL. But it's the same. damned. thing. Hot takes engineered for clicks. Brain checked at door (most times but not all the time).

    I'm just bitter b/c I'm making zero dollars posting dumb things here, and those dudes spend less time and less effort posting dumb things on twitter and blathering on news shows for $$.

    There was another protest last night at the Brooklyn Center PD but it was smaller. The LEO didn't give an order to disperse or use force and the protests fizzled out around 11PM.

    Well that was an ignorant statement.

    If black men boycott the vote then what?

    It is almost like when people want to march and yell and scream about stuff, if you just ignore them they get bored and go away.

    Last night was much more violent with LEO using rubber rounds and gas propelled teargas cannisters. There is also reports of LEO targeting members of the press. According to some reports protesters were trying to breach one of the barriers put up around Brooklyn PD.

    Protester numbers were smaller though since earlier in the week.
