Why vaguely talk around the reason instead of just quoting it?

“I don’t know that officers had the opportunity to direct those vehicles specifically one way or another.” -Police Chief Peterson

The counter protestors weren't even allowed to park their vehicles nearby. How is it that they can "direct" all of those vehicles without issue, but this one is somehow undirectable? This is some pretty clear bullshit made up after the fact to justify protecting this guy from a justifiably angry mob. If he's not charged with anything then he basically did get off scot-free arrested or not.

This is the guy who got saved from an ass beating in MN, shoved into a stranger's car, and wouldn't tell the driver who he was or why everyone was trying to kick his ass. Just kept telling his rescuers that Trump "saved his life".

They kicked him out a few blocks later.

Giving two, conflicting explanations is a sign of someone telling a lie. He says they couldn’t direct them, then says they consulted the mayor and successfully directed them away. Which was it?

He says they spoke to the mayor, but not when they did. Would they genuinely have the time or inclination to consult him in a rapidly escalating situation like that? He doesn’t even say what the mayor said, just kind of implies it by planting that sentence around what seems to be his own opinions.

If you’re so concerned about misinformation then maybe don’t believe that cops are doing anything but covering their ass. You don’t need to give the benefit of the doubt to them, they’ve absolutely not earned it.

I wouldn't call Matt Yglesias a tank or accuse him of having thoughts.

I thought I remembered hearing they were trans but I didn’t see it mentioned in the article I looked up to refresh my memory. Article did mention they were both black women, though.

Cops insist on phrasing everything like they're trying their hardest to use every multisyllabic word they know. They cant just say that the guy picked up some money that another person dropped it wouldn't make them sound tactical and military enough.

Several particulated individualists matriculated into the establishment.

An AI booster is too lazy or stupid to read and understand something they have very strong opinions about? Im shocked.

Pretty sure it’s from Serial Experiments Lain, a show I’ve heard much about but haven’t watched yet so I’m not 100% certain about this.

This would be even funnier than just the whole slogan on the shirt. Gives it a little bit of comedic timing.

While the GOP shamelessly uses the power of government to oppress their ideological enemies, the Dems are more interested in “moving past” their counterpart’s crimes, maintaining a healthy GOP, and promoting bipartisanship. Which is why George Bush is a free man and on friendly terms with the Obamas.

And it’s only one letter away from ”DSA”. Much to think about.

Every can of pringles I buy now is undercooked and the last can I bought they forgot to add salt to any of the chips. (No it wasn’t labeled as “reduced salt” or anything like that, I checked)

I would make every car on earth wait indefinitely if you gave me the power. People would die, sure, but so many more would be saved.

what if we cannibalize our long-term viability for a short-term gain says every dipshit in charge of tech hardware manufacturing.

Every time I see an experiment like this it’s wildly successful and then never made into any kind of law or permanent social program.

I like the unspoken part where the people who have lived in this home must vacate when she decides she wants to spend a few years living in the UK again. They should have to find new accommodation when it suits her, but she is not subject to such requirements.

I’d like to see more substantial consequences for consciously and deliberately sabotaging a war operation using a service the pentagon paid him to provide.

if they're still around when the financial shell game they're playing finally comes to a stop. who am i kidding the government will bail them out.
