... and "Trigger Warnings" claim that the choke hold that could be seen on the video was not actually a choke hold was always only a desperate, weak and ridiculous lie by the defense team.

Freaking Orange County. It’s always been one of the centers of Republican activity in California. Though it went Blue last election there are obviously still a ton of far right voters.

[QUOTE=Tendrin;4519504]Don't make a mistake about one thing: while Gabbard is obviously an authoritarian flunky, much of her politics seems driven by anti-Islam bigotry.[/QUOTE]
Gabbard's views on Islam are troubling for sure, but I feel like people lately have been way too quick to cast stones at any anti-Muslim activity originating in foreign countries to cast it as some kind of global problem rather than primarily the responsibility of the militant right wing in the West. Of course the attacks by Hindu nationalists on Muslims are wrong and we should condemn them, but let's not pretend that they've caused more than a tiny fraction of the damage and suffering that centuries of British and American imperialism in the Middle East have wrought. Now, perhaps having a Hindu nationalist as the President of the United States would be a terrifying prospect for Muslims everywhere, but that would largely be a product of her being American and having all the resources of our military industrial complex at her back, not because her being Hindu would make her especially hateful toward Muslims in a way that previous American presidents haven't been.

They can't even say that another fuck nut tried to run down peaceful protesters, just "Truck Tries to". People coddling these maniacs are going to lead to more deaths, not less![/QUOTE]

Perhaps I’m a hopeless cynic, but if the school won’t say how those little shitstains were disciplined, chances are pretty good they weren’t.

Maybe they thought Trump would “pivot” into becoming an honest and responsible politician once he became president. Only problem with that argument is that leopards [B]DON’T[/B] change their spots, not at his age. Hell, there are entire [B]CITIES[/B] like El Paso that have been stiffed by the Grifter-in-Chief who hasn’t paid bills for his visits, so what made those guys think they’d be the exception to the rule?

I mean they could have consulted with any union construction crew in New York City. Any one of them would have warned them about working for Trump.

I'm not saying he shouldn't make fun of Trump, but is the foreword in the collection of golden age comics the place for it? It's like if say Chuck Dixon was hired to write an intro to the campy Superman stories from the silver age and he stuck in a line like, "Yes, those 60's stories were really crazy...just like Obamacare!"

Enough people don't read the articles that misleading headlines (and there were quite a few about Spiegelman and Marvel) are irresponsible. This is a criticism on the media and not Tami.
