    .Cleveland Police: A Culture Of ‘Did Nothing Wrong’

    The Cleveland police have been ordered to pay 2.25 million dollars to the family of Tanisha Anderson: A Cleveland woman who was having a mental breakdown when Cleveland police slammed her to the ground killing her. This settlement comes on the back of the Dan Ficker settlement, the Tamir Rice settlement, the Timothy and Mallisa settlement.

    Is anyone else noticing a trend here?

    The trend you are seeing is called denial and as long as the people of Cleveland continue to suck cops off and pretend they are doing such a great job, they will continue to get away with murder. The culture of did nothing wrong is only possible if the people turn a blind eye and accept this disgusting behavior as normal!

    .Cop Harassed, Punished and Beaten by Fellow Cops for Being Muslim — Lawsuit

    Trump isn’t lying, he’s bullshitting—and it’s far more dangerous

    Bullshitters, as philosopher Harry Frankfurt wrote in his 1986 essay “On Bullshit,” don’t care whether what they are saying is factually correct or not. Instead, bullshit is characterized by a “lack of connection to a concern with truth [and] indifference to how things really are.” Frankfurt explains that a bullshitter “does not care whether the things he says describe reality correctly. He just picks them out, or makes them up, to suit his purpose.”

    .Things Will Get Worse Until US Stops Lying About Crimea

    Unless the U.S. government’s lies about Crimea — the ‘Russia seized Crimea’ narratives — become acknowledged to be lies, war between the U.S. and Russia can only continue to become increasingly likely, because the world is sliding toward World War III based upon these lies, and will therefore inevitably continue that slide until these lies are publicly repudiated by the U.S. government, which is their sole source. The liar on this is clearly the U.S. and not Russia: the U.S. is the entire source for the alleged cause for war between the U.S. and Russia.

    (WARNING: The following article asserts many things that are propagandized almost universally in The West to be false, and in each such instance the documentation of the assertion’s being true is provided in a link, so that any reader who doesn’t already know its truth can easily come to know that he/she had previously been deceived about that particular matter — the reader can come to know this just by clicking onto the link. This article depends upon its links, which are rooted in the most-reliable evidence on the given topic — far more reliable than any of the ‘evidence’ that’s cited by defenders of The West’s position, lies on these matters. The links are provided so that a reader can easily connect to the actual evidence, and decide on one’s own, whom the liars are, and are not. It all depends upon the evidence. Any reader who doesn’t want to know the evidence, would be just wasting time to read here.)

        How could he even think of joining Brock??!!!!!!!!!!!

      • Dosido3

        I don’t know. He has earned some cred going after Gov. Malloy’s little insurance games in CT and other stories. I don’t see him repeating talking points. But yeah, he couldn’t see the leash Brock was putting on him until he felt him pull on the collar.

        Anyone who was ever featured on C&L is not our friend. As I went there for years I know who they all are. They never put up people like Jimmy Dore. Coincidence?

  • Replace “Liberals” with “Progressives” and the advice is sound.

    Laugh all you like but satire changes nothingLiberals need to realise that however good they make them feel, comedy sketches about Trump are self-indulgent

    • Dosido3

      I thought more about this. I mostly agree. When I laugh at sketches making fun of Trump, it actually makes me feel powerless and inadequate. A guy like Cheney or W wouldn’t care. But Trump does care. And as they say in the French court, ridicule kills.

    Ha! McConnell cut Warren’s mic this evening. Told her to go right ahead an stfu with her concerns about Jeff Sessions appointment.

    Repost:
    LMAO! Wait, I thought voting for the the HUD appointment of grossly unqualified Ben Carson was supposed to earn her some Republican Points!? WTH!

    I thought kissing Republican azz all the live long day was supposed to de-fang Republicans and persuade them to be more civil and open to negotiation? What happened? Vichy Democrats assured me that trying that method for the millionth time would somehow be effective even though it hasn’t worked for decades? Amazeballs!

    Warren, Schumer, Pelosi, Feinstein, Booker, anyone associated with the Clintons, the entirety of the DNC and most everyone else in that godforsaken party don’t have what it takes to oppose Republicans. The resistance is a sorry joke in the hands of these invertebrates who without exception are too careful to offend the donors they share in common with Republicans to say or do anything substantial.

      Ha! Vichy Democrats! Love it. I’m using that in future. A fucking waste of oxygen if you ask me.
