"I'm not racist, but I know that those other racists will lower the value of my house if a black person moves in next door."

Well to be fair, do you really want cops pointing guns at your neighbor all the time? Someone could get hurt.

If that wasn't being recorded, what are the odds the first cop kills him and gets away with it? 80%?

Only if they have some crack to sprinkle on him afterwards.

Hardly any Black people in my neighborhood. There's a very big sand dune that people come from all over town to climb up for exercise. Funnily when it was really really popular and lots of Black people came to use it, it became a big problem, got fenced and they started a reservation system.

Senate, on party-line vote, confirms judge to 4th Circuit who interned at anti-LGBT group

She clerked for Thomas and Gorsuch, naturally

i've been practicing for like 3 years and have significantly more trial experience than her.. GOOD CHOICES GUYS!!.. 4 trials to verdict/judgement and never solo or first chair, jeez..

1 more reason to get in on that sweet sweet conservitard grift.

My ex-girlfriends parents live right by this. It is absolutely te type of neighborhood where the cops get called on random black people walking around.

No experience is a feature not a bug.

Having their ringers get reversed on appeal often doesn't seem like a winning strategy.

the long con is just to get them on there as quickly as possible, so in 20 years they can be like look this nomination for SC has TWENTY YEARS on the bench. totally qualified to sit on the supreme court now at age 55 or whatever.

Maybe. I figure all the goals and aspirations that would be too dangerous to touch legislatively (CRA repeal, SS/Medicare repeal) will be fulfilled by judicial fiat.

LOL this is like a map of where black people live + West Virginia.

also Vermont and Rhode Island

Was surprised to see Arizona almost entirely below average. I guess all their energy these days is directed toward hating Latinos?

ALABAMA

Judge rules that man whose girlfriend got an abortion against his wishes can sue the manufacturer of the abortion pill for wrongful death, and name the fetus as a co-plaintiff

lolololololololol

Oh and he was 19 and she was 16

I think I'd be more comfortable visiting Somalia than Alabama.

MM MD

yet these same ****s would never allow a person to sue a gun manufacturer for way worse ****.

Are you white? I'd definitely take Alabama.

I don't care what color you are, Alabama is safer unless you're literally sneaking into KKK/neo-Nazi parties.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_o..._homicide_rate

Homicide rate/100k in Somalia is 4.31. In the US it's 5.35. In Alabama it's 8.3.

Somalia is significantly more dangerous in terms of traffic fatalities though.

So, I guess if you have to walk through a dark alley at night, or through a well armed rural neighborhood where you don't know people, choose Somalia. If you have to go for a drive, choose Alabama.

What American wouldn't? I guess a Somali-speaking American would be comfortable there but most others would be extremely uncomfortable, especially given that all of the knowledge people have about it is related to terrorism and piracy.

Plus Somalia has actual pirates. How cool is that? Except I'm told they don't go AAAAAAARGGHHHH much.

This seems like the best place to put this.

Cliffs: Found myself shrieking at a deplorable in public and somehow I'm feeling embarrassed about my behavior.

Story: the scene happened at a play on Broadway a few nights ago. The play was Network (with Bryan Cranston) which is only relevant bc of the way the show ends. After the cast takes their bows and leaves the stage a video montage plays on a screen on the stage. The video is of presidents, starting with Ford, taking the oath of office. The vid is pretty benign until Trump shows up and is promptly met with a shower of boos.

But this is where things turned because, of course, I end up with a deplorable standing clapping and chanting "6 more years" a behind me. We were seated in the balcony and he was standing on the landing above the seats looking down over us towards the stage.

I put my coat on and went right towards him to ask what exactly he was so proud of and how disgusting it was he was cheering at someone who puts babies in cages. He just smirked and kept clapping and I very quickly got very loud, in his face and was swearing at him. It ended with him asking why I was so angry and me walking away shouting that he was a horrible human being. The whole thing lasted 15 seconds

I was pretty upset when I got outside and was immediately embarrassed by my behavior. I think I'm a pretty chill guy who's never been arrested and haven't even been in a fight since junior high, which was decades ago. Something about him just set me off.

While his politics are disgusting (to me) he obviously didn't do anything wrong as being an ahole is not a crime. While I'm not sorry for challenging him, I am sorry for engaging him in that way.

I hate Trump's America
