The Swamp

I still don't like equating cops (inaccurately) returning fire with cops initiating fire on a little kid.

mister d

Consenting human shields.

mister d

Which, whether they did or didn't, in the middle of the night means shit.

mister d

And what's the perfect inverse of a black person not being allowed to defend themselves with a gun?

mister d

Did anyone ask how future situations like this could be avoided or is that too controversial?

mister d

I don't at all think this is comparable to Tamir or Trayvon, for the record.

mister d

Absolutely. If the cops were personally absolved but the tactics behind the incident were banned, it would be a far greater loss for the department and union than if these three cops had been indicted and convicted. Their power is that they can create or escalate a situation and still be right.

mister d

In your dad's safe ; P

mister d

(That is not, I hope obviously, claiming the boyfriend did anything wrong protecting his house. Situations like this are intended to create bad results.)

mister d

I'm not trying to devil's advocate here but the individual cops actions don't seem like the biggest problem to me. Granted, we know atleast one is a complete piece of shit, I'm referring only to that night. In a bubble, they were shot at and they shot back. Most every major situation involving cops ...

mister d

Your dad is my mom almost word for word there.

Is that the moment you realize Kevin Costner would give up his entire acting career to be a quad-A baseball player but isn't even convincing enough for the movie?

mister d

Which is really, really bad when you think about it because it's natural in America to start firing on home intruders when you have no idea who they are. Yup. I can think of about a half dozen bigger problems with this incident than the cops returning fire, which speaks to the tremendously fucked u...

mister d

Ha ha one you're trying to get in the holes and the other you're trying to avoid them ha ha ha!!!

mister d

Quick calculation says you could divide North Dakota into 12x10 plots and bury the entire living population of America 50 times over.

mister d

Not all cops are bad, I'm not at that extreme, but fuck if almost all cops don't seem to cover for the bad rather than side with good citizens.

mister d

Its definitely a curse. I really like where we live now but its only because its central to where our parents and families are. If mine had moved to Florida or somewhere "away" from me, I'd have no issue re-settling somewhere off the east coast, atleast as a trial.

Curious where you were off.

I knew Sayers was featured in it but I thought he was the one who died and Brian was his friend who didn't and told the story.

mister d

I wonder what the losses actually were here. If rapid testing is cost prohibitive for a club at their level and (in the slight bit of reading I did here) most early Carabao revenue comes from split ticket sales, it might not have really mattered (financially)?

It appears Brian's Song is a movie I thought I could have given a recap of but would have been way off base.

mister d

(I thought it was 5, not that it matters because its not fucking 8.)

SO SHOULD A PINT CAN OF BEER BE 14.5 OUNCES BECAUSE WHEN YOU GET A PINT AT A BAR ITS NOT ACTUALLY FILLED TO THE TOP WITH POST-FOAM LIQUID???

mister d

A cup is a unit of measure. Its 8 ounces. You can't sell a 6 foot couch and then be like "we mean foot like the length of the average person's foot which is 10 inches".

mister d

This will get worse unless and until Democrats do something about it.

mister d

If things ever return to normal and we can worry about frivolous things again, I'm going to start a campaign against coffee makers measuring in false cups.

mister d

Ultimately, though, if the Republicans somehow manage to tone down their anti-Latino bigotry and adopt other policies that are enough to appeal to Puerto Rican voters, isn't that a good thing? Republicans eschewing explicit bigotry and doing the bare minimum needed to appear to help a minority grou...

We've all read a Whitlock article at some point so I assume just sub in Katie Nolan for whichever personable young black athlete he was attacking in the one your remember.

I think you should go for:

The simplest way to resolve the DC thing in your mind is to ask whether or not it would already have two Senators if it had the same demographics as North Dakota.

mister d

You're going to want them atleast the latter if they can fuck around with the census enough to redistribute the House in their direction.

mister d

I want both of those things.

mister d

Hear me out ... what if Schumer tweeted Graham's 2016 quote about using his words against him with those big side-eyes emojis at the end?

mister d

He's on the grifter Mt. Rushmore.

mister d

Because his opponent does nothing to inspire beyond "isn't McConnell"?

1. This is good action.

2. I hope Dems are ready to counter "he shouldn't be allowed to pay off someone else's debt" by throwing Kavanaugh back in the spotlight.

mister d

This was an offline chat I'm bringing online ... does anyone here carry a pocketknife around? Including me, its 3 for 3 that we don't (and never really considered it) but our dads did/do.

mister d

I've been biased against trying it because the name is just so dumb. I figured any creative team that actually chose that couldn't write a show I'd want to watch.

Now that I'm officially an expert, here are some things that should change about soccer:
- The entire 18 yard box shouldn't be a penalty, it should be reshaped
- The player who draws the penalty or has the last touch should take the penalty
