  • Yeah. This is in a city where the police abandoned a police station because they were forbidden to use tear gas on peaceful protesters in the area. In a densely populated residential area where people were complaining about the gas getting into their apartments. They tried to say the protesters were violent and using incendiary devices which turned out to be prayer candles.

    No wonder they can’t solve any crimes. They can’t even read the fucking room.


  • My understanding is that Trump did not outperform his 2020 returns and Harris did not outperform Biden’s 2020 returns. We didn’t get more Trump voters than pat elections, we just got fewer Democratic voters. Why was Democratic turnout so bad? Was it really because Harris was too liberal? I haven’t seen any evidence of that. I suspect that it’s because Harris isn’t very charismatic (compared to candidates like Obama or Bill Clinton). I also suspect that turnout was low because Harris was talking more about maintaining the status quo instead of talking about change. If she was more liberal then maybe more of the base would be motivated to turn out? IDK but I’m sure there will be a million think pieces on the topic 😔


  • I was driving the other day and saw a notification for a “Blue alert”. I never heard of one before. Turns out it’s like how we have “Amber alert “ for missing kids and “sliver alerts” for missing seniors, a “blue alert” is for someone who may be a threat to law enforcement officers. Why do we need a special alert for criminals that harm cops? Why are cops prioritized over everyone else?









  • So, rather than using his considerable power and resources to prevent this tragic outcome, he’s electing to preemptively kiss ass and hope it’s enough to keep the eye of sauron aimed elsewhere? Fucking selfish coward. No matter how much Bezos could risk by standing up, ordinary people will always be at greater risk when they stand up. He can hire next level security, travel anywhere in the world and still be safer and more comfortable than any of us going to protests in any major city.
