The judge said there was "no imminent threat of violence" from the man when the dog was released on him but said he was struck by the officer's "integrity" and "pride" in serving his community.
Bullshit. Any cop who thinks they're serving their community is delusional. More likely, this is the costume this officer put on for the judge.
Feels like the French people have been getting fucked around the last few years.
I'm enjoying a limited podcast series, Master Plan - An investigative podcast series exposing the 50-year plot to legalize corruption in America. I was just opining to my partner at how successfully the right has capitalized on culture war to distract their constituents. Instead of asking why someone like Lonnie has incredible wealth and they have nothing, they ask what genitals you have and which bathroom you're using. Astounding.
When it’s her turn to respond, Harris should turn the tables on Trump by calling him out as a liar without bothering to refute each lie and refocus the audience on her own message
Exactly. Just call him what he is and don't address anything he says. "That's a pack of lies."
Get into therapy, if possible. I've learned so much from therapy (and quality therapists (I'm old)), including building a healthier sense of self that was underdeveloped due to home life stuff when I was a kid. At 38, I was finally able to love myself, something I had thought impossible. A 21yo version of me wouldn't have been able to envision the me of today because it would seem impossible.
Maybe you only do therapy to help adjust to this one thing that you're asking about and then you're good. It sounds like you may not have the amount of baggage that I had. But I think it's an incredibly valuable and useful tool. The catch is having the right therapist. Be prepared to say that it isn't a good fit if you don't trust the person. I find that for each good therapist (three over ~30 years), I've had to meet with at least one, once two, who were a bad fit.
Good luck!
Southern has in the past defended neo-Nazis and other far right figures. In 2017, she was detained by the Italian Coast Guard after she was on board a boat that tried to interfere with the efforts of a search and rescue craft that was funded by Doctors Without Borders. She has also endorsed conspiracy theories about the so-called "Great Replacement."
Ok, so racist fascist. Got it. Looks cute, but actually a monster. Very useful for them.
A key member identified as Commentator 1 was to be paid $400,000 per month plus a $100,000 signing bonus, while Commentator 2's contract was for $100,000 per video.
Holy shit. That's astounding.
Things are definitely at the point where christofascists, and other hate driven ideologies are getting louder.
Good time to bring up how their numbers are drastically thinning. This is a big win and part of why we need to fight them hard as their fear of marginalization causes them to switch from dirty tactics to outright fascism to cling to power.
Survey: White Christianity is declining while the religiously unaffiliated keep growing
At Wednesday’s press conference, at which only foreign media were allowed, Netanyahu doubled down on his argument that control of the corridor is central to Israel’s war aims.
This has never been a war. It’s a genocide. And locking out your own media betrays how much you only care to explain yourself to the people arming you.
Fuck this turd. I hope his constituents are enraged at the obvious fuckery he’s conducting and throw him in prison.
Oh Kenney, you rascal. It's so cool how your corrupt, lying, sack of shit ass gets to meddle in elections like this. It's great. Keep it up, buddy. You're the greatest.
Fucking piece of shit.
The consequences of this journalistic malpractice extend far beyond misleading headlines. By laundering Trump’s words in this fashion, the media is actively participating in the erosion of our shared reality. When major news outlets consistently present a polished version of Trump’s statements, they create an alternate narrative that exists alongside the unfiltered truth available on social media and in unedited footage.
The only answer must be that their bosses want him to win. No reasonable editor would allow this.

The consequences of this extend beyond misleading headlines or sanitized quotes. It’s creating a dangerous disconnect between reality and reported news, fostering an environment where extreme rhetoric becomes normalized and conspiracy theories gain unwarranted legitimacy.
This won’t remain just a Trump problem. As other politicians observe the media’s willingness to soften and reframe inflammatory statements, we risk further degradation of political discourse. The bar for what’s considered acceptable rhetoric continues to lower, while the public’s ability to discern fact from fiction erodes.
Let's let all the crazy inside. It'll be fun. At least we'll have endless stuff to report about.
Then your free press either reports what they tell you or you go to jail.
He still thinks tariffs are paid by other countries as opposed to American citizens. Completely unfit to govern.
