It will perhaps surprise no one to hear me say that I know a thing or two about functioning forensically when you've been uup too long and are relying upon exogenous neurotransmitter modification to manage your fatigue...One is well advised in such case to take extra care not to shorthand in one's head the forensic purpose for which a particular anecdote is adduced.

The alternative, Deadbeat Donald speed rappinig in between attacks of catarrh.

Who knew there were still thoughtful conservatives? Or at least one of them?

Keep me away from open windows, sharp objects, and toxic substances--I am a danger to myself.  This is fucking unbelivably bad timing, it is JUST what that schmuck needed to be able to wave anytime the heat goes up!  "Surging, I'm surging I tell ya'!"

Remember the horror that Bill Clinton committed perjury over an affair? 20 years later half of America wants to elect a man who can't tell the truth even on important stuff - in court, in national debates, to the INS or IRS, anywhere. There's a special place in hell for hypocritical sons-of-bitches, and it'll look a lot like the Cleveland convention, just bigger and louder. Hillary's "deplorable" understates the problem.

And in other alternate universes, gravity sucks upwards, people get younger year by year, and Republicans are compassionate & intelligent human beings.

We have video of police shooting unarmed black people. We have reports of cops who witnessed shootings lying on police reports. There is no reason to believe that if a police officer tramples on your civil and human rights, other cops will intervene. Police unions will always back the cop who shot the unarmed black person  no matter the circumstance. Police have lost the trust of many in the public.

The Massachusetts Supreme Court just ruled that innocent black men may have a legitimate reason to flee the police given the Boston PD's history of racial bias. Since fleeing is reasonable, it does not imply guilt.

This is headed to Federal Court tomorrow.

Tom Toles: When you try and unpack the ‘off the charts’ Hillary unfavorables, you find yourself rummaging in a box of Styrofoam peanuts and not a lot else. The big gun of charges against Hillary, which people love to unload as conclusive and unassailable is the “I don’t trust her!” line.... The GOP trusts Hillary about 100% to work against THEIR agenda. Why do you think they hate her so much?

And the guy in third place, who cruises past to win, is saying "What the fuck???"

Progressive ideals running into the reality of continual jacked-up impediments. But here's where we run into the "I want it now" Veruca Salts. Are they in government? Are they citizens? Or are they just everywhere? Leave no good idea unstoned.

Read, discuss, panic.
