Yep, the party actively destroying reproductive rights is indistinguishable from the party doing a suboptimal job of protecting them from the first party. This is clearly communicated by your clever, astute word replacement.

Whether Trump’s injury was the result of a fired projectile or a piece of shrapnel, the injury was caused by an assassination attempt.

We all know what really happened.

“I’m going to say something right now I’ve never said in my career before: we failed,” Campbell continued. "We did not do our jobs. We failed Sonya. We failed Sonya’s family and friends. We failed the community. I stand here today before you with arms wide open to ask for forgiveness.”

Sounds nice, and likely sincere, but you did all those things before he killed her, when you hired and retained a man with the authority to kill with the history and issues he had. How about we stop waiting for cops to execute someone before we scrutinize them?

I would rather deeply french kiss Joe Biden than receive those sticky disgusting Trump lips on my cheek. FTR, I’m not a teen girl, nor even a girl, nor even gay. But I’ll suck Joe Biden tongue all day long before Trump puts his lips anywhere on my body.

What’s the context anyhow? Looks recent but surprised I haven’t heard about it.

I just don’t have the words to describe how awesome this movie is to folks who haven’t seen it. It’s a must-watch.

  • Awesome soundtrack with
  • Very many celebrity cameos (including musical performances by Ray Charles, Aretha Franklin, James Brown, others), and some you won’t even notice until you google them
  • Funny and bad things happening to Nazis
  • Cops looking like fools (to be fair, that’s nearly every movie of this era)
  • Folks who would today be magas looking like fools
  • Late 70s/Early 80s kinda ribald humor
  • Over the top car chases (see OP)
  • Carrie Fisher
  • An actual mission from God (in the context of the film)
  • John Belushi at his best
  • Dan motherfucking Aykroyd
  • The Blues Brothers
  • Almost bizarrely, a positive message of inclusivity and brotherly love.

 

sorry I forgot it wouldn’t be obvious to everyone.

The Blues Brothers

It’s just too easy to dunk on MS these days. It’s like shooting fish in a barrel.

When the rest of us get taxed it’s just how society works. When billionaires get taxed, now it’s a “scheme.”

It’s worth reading the entire article, it just gets worse and worse.

The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), U.S. Attorney’s Office, and Montgomery County District Attorney all initiated criminal investigations of the matter, which they combined and then closed because they did not find evidence “that would establish beyond a reasonable doubt that anyone involved had criminal intent”.

That’s not even close to the worst thing in the article, but GG justice system. I’ll remember this one day when I’m in court. “Well I didn’t have criminal intent.”

That’s a defense now?? One that removes the need to even have a trial at all??
