  1. D.C. has a larger population than wyoming or vermont. Why shouldn't the residents of the district have a say in what happens? Make them a state after the election. There’s a weird kind of taxation...

    Farewell Esme - In Loving Memory

    My deepest condolences to Kristi’s family and friends. As Esme, she provided sage counsel here and helped out countless members of allnurses including myself. Kristi was truly a mensch and will be...
  3. The firefighters followed the golden rule of civilian rescue - do not enter a violent scene until it’s secured. These shootings also reinforce why the abolition of police departments is unrealistic....

    Trump plans 1st COVID-19 era rally next week

    And now we have to wait 2 weeks to see if any of those 6,200 ? folks who showed up test positive, become symptomatic or infect anyone else. Assuming contact tracing is done on attendees. Although we...
  5. Resistance to any change in the status quo. Inability to accept other’s perceptions might be different from their own. Lack of empathy. Belief that they are seldom right but never
  6. Herring, you left one thing out of the post above. The mic drop
  7. So you consider a taser to be a lethal weapon that requires the user to be “neutralized”, nice euphemism for being shot & killed by the way. Anyway, what about a non-lethal weapon? Does that...
  8. Yes, brooks did aim the taser at the officer, apparently fired it & missed, he then turned & ran away. The officer then shot him in the back. This is not the fraction of a second shoot/not...
  9. Good decision. For those who didn’t read the link, kavanaugh’s dissent includes this, to me, incongruous statement: "...applying protective laws to groups that were politically unpopular at the...

    Trump plans 1st COVID-19 era rally next week

    Hang on a second, if you have “always been pro-choice on abortion, pro-LGBT rights, separation of church and state, and I support universal healthcare”, then, ipso facto, you would not vote for...

    Dismantling the Police?

    Defunding is not the same as abolishing. While some are calling for the total abolishment of police departments, I think that is an incredibly bad idea for reasons mentioned in the above post....
  12. And yet another actual case of voter fraud perpetrated by the democrats. Wait, what? It was a republican? Again?...

    Riots in Minneapolis

    Outside of the fact that you seem to be defending capone, does the name “big” bill thompson ring any bells? No? K, he was the mayor of chicago, completely bent & provided protection for...
  15. Always liked mattis, cerebral guy. His book, call sign chaos, is a great read. Especially if you’re in management as it’s all about

    Riots in Minneapolis

    So lemme see if I understand your extrapolation here... Some atf agents acted reprehensibly, therefore the entirety of federal law enforcement is worthless, has done nothing right and should not be...

    Riots in Minneapolis

    Not excusing the criminal acts. Criminals should be punished accordingly However, blowing off socioeconomic status including the opportunity for gainful & adequate employment does nothing to stem...
  20. Welllll, I don’t know that trump can just deploy the military. The insurrection act of 1807 has been in the news lately but it doesn’t appear that he could use it under that scenario. And the...

    Not sure I understand where you’re going here but it appears you want me to fact check you instead of you providing your source(s) of data. Whether your facts are correct is irrelevant, my question...

    Riots in Minneapolis

    I always have my hands on the wheel & if I need to get something, let the cop know where it is & what else might be in the glovebox. Having been pulled over many times in my younger days, I...
