Cancelled her ass, didn’t they?
She wasn’t woke enough BECAUSE she defended Exxon.

Sic transit gloria mundi (so shut up and get back to work)I never realized how preachy Joe is. He is like the dumb guy who has to tell you how smart he is. Pretty awful. Probably not a lot of fun at parties.

Sic transit gloria mundi (so shut up and get back to work)At some point the real “woke” revolution will be people realizing that drowning in debt and having more than half of income confiscated through taxes, fees, and penalties does not equal freedom.
Biden may be closer to king George III than anybody realizes. Tax, regulate, disarm, disenfranchise. We hold these truths to be self evident…

Sic transit gloria mundi (so shut up and get back to work)There’s so much juiciness in the hypocrisy of democrat politicians adopting trump’s policies (which were in a lot of cases the same as Obama’s policies).
anybody heard the Dems forwarding legislation to reinstate the individual mandate in Obamacare?
me neither.

Sic transit gloria mundi (so shut up and get back to work)If her credit card was racist I wonder what she thought of her fork and spoon.
I fully understand that people have to find meaning in the world, but this is just silly. My sister got in way over her head with credit card debt in the same era, and it ended in bankruptcy (her parents couldn’t afford to pay off her debts like our erstwhile dean’s could). Does that make her fantastically oppressed as well?
Articles like this will put the Onion out of business.

the crap the police have to deal with is unreal. But it IS their job to deal with it. Thankless though that may be.

Sic transit gloria mundi (so shut up and get back to work)Mick, you almost had me. I was going to post that there is no way that more than 20 thousand people have died “in custody.” And that any analysis that claims these deaths “in custody” was propaganda. Then I checked the site. It is about any death that had a police officer present of any kind:
from the site: “We try to document all deaths that happen when police are present or that are caused by police: on-duty, off-duty, criminal, line-of-duty, local, federal, intentional, accidental–all of them.”
That is a very broad swath that includes not only George Floyd’s death which was very much in custody, but also the death of a person in an automobile accident with a police officer who is off duty. Those are two very different things.
That said, policing is a multi faceted thing. Some demographics have police encounters all the time. Some do not. I have lived in the same neighborhood for ten years and can’t remember ever seeing a police car in it. Any demographic analysis of police related fatalities has to be normalized to the encounter rate of that demographic. My hunch is, in the Floyd case, even leaving race out of it, the chance of dying at the hands of police as a violent felon on drugs and actively resisting arrest is significantly elevated.
That doesn’t absolve the police, but it does call into question the “societal” issues that are often implied by analysis of such data.

Dude is probably in trouble. It’s probably one of those Kobe Bryant-this-happens-all-the-time-I-think-they-just-want-it stories. Except Kobe was only accused by one woman.

The news hurts the narrative and must be suppressed.
in fact, abolish ICE!

Sic transit gloria mundi (so shut up and get back to work)Bd. That may be so, but the Dems threw the kitchen sink at Trump so who knows what was posturing for Biden’s removal.
We live in such a bizarre time. Whatever the parties say is right gets taken as right. Orwell was so spot on that I actually don’t think much of this is new.
biden is definitely testing his political capital. It’s unlikely he has the votes for the tax schemes he is hoping for, and if it’s tried before the midterms he definitely won’t have the votes after. That’s especially true if somebody actually tells the “working class” that all these taxes on the rich guys fall to them, too, in terms of more expensive cost of living.

Sic transit gloria mundi (so shut up and get back to work)Thanks for the articles. I would be smacked by about 6 of the 10 tax proposals.
The degree to which ca and ny try to tax the wealthy is astounding.
judging by the progressiveness of its tax code, CA should change its road construction signs to read “THEIR tax dollars at work”
