It would be better if the cancer hit the trumps, all of the trumps except Mary.

Trump is still destroying more than a million Jobs a month as he kills more than a thousand people each day.

Coddling trump is a crime against humanity. He should be ripped limb from limb.

It's amusing in one way, and quite sad in another way, to see people try to use logic and reason with the illogical and unreasonable. It's like yelling at a rock to get up and run across a field.

"Come on, Rock! Get moving! Don't just sit there! Go, go, go!!!"

The "sailing stones" of Racetrack playa,  one of my fave geologic oddities.   

[LarryBnDC]

A New York Times investigation concluded that a neighbor, who was on the staircase immediately above Taylor's apartment, heard the officers shout "Police!" once (contrary to what law enforcement told investigators) and knocked three times, while approximately eleven other neighbors, heard no announcement. According to this investigation, every neighbors' account conflicts with law enforcement.

Kentucky Attorney General Daniel Cameron said Louisville Metro officers knocked and announced themselves before breaching the door to Breonna Taylor's apartment.

Exactly. Ham sandwich. It is the AG's evidentiary choice, not the facts that dictated the Grand Jury finding. And that the AG chose from competing statements the one most favorable to the police is not surprising and the whole issue. Of.course, stupid people and intellectually dishonest poltroons will pretend his word is somehow gospel.

The Prosecutor did not “ choose from competing statements”, the members of the grand jury did.

You have missed the point of the Ham Sandwich.

It would have been unethical to withhold exculpatory evidence that could lead to acquittal at a trial.

Indeed. But that is not the issue. The AG never got to the point of providing g or withholding exculpatory evidence to the defense. He is under no duty to present exculpatory evidence to the Grand Jury.

You so ignore that the statement proclaimed by the AG is not supported by a Grand Jury finding. The Grand Jury does not make specific factual findings.  It merely determines whether and who to indict and.the charges.

You are having trouble fashioning a narrative you like.
Of course the whole purpose of the grand jury is to indict or not.  It weighs the evidence presented and makes a decision.
Even if the Prosecutor has no duty to present exculpatory evidence it would be pretty stupid to so because it could lead to an acquittal from an unnecessary trial.  It is also unethical.  In this case the prosecutor knew of contradicting evidence of whether or not the police knocked on the door and identified themselves.

Pull!

On the issue of Afghanistan...

The people of Afghanistan need to grow cotton, and then they can make garments and stuff out of the cotton to export. The people of Afghanistan watched the success of Egypt with Egyptian Cotton, and the people of Afghanistan want to grow cotton. We need to help the people of Afghanistan to get business loans, etc, so that they can get the equipment, and seeds, etc, that they need to grow and produce cotton and cotton garments. The women of Afghanistan can be given business loans right along with the men, and they can all grow cotton, etc. We need to help the people of Afghanistan to escape poverty, and we need to help to get them on a peaceful path to honest work and honest business.

Salute,

Tony V.

AID and the Afghan Cotton Saga

Why would USAID not get behind an effort to turn Afghan farmers from poppy to cotton?

Leads in NV and PA greater than the margin of error. Lead in OH is within the margin of error, but is at 5 points.

---Black attorney general chokes up during Taylor announcement---

Trying to feel the pain, but seriously to start shooting at cops?

To be fair, seems that one shooter was an outlier

Bothers me more that people in so many cities participated in protest last night.  Not criticizing them at all - but the overall picture in terms of PEACE looks bleak.

NO JUSTICE?
NO PEACE.

What do you prefer he charges to have been?

If you don’t know by now I can’t tell you.

You won't say since you can't defend it

I honestly don't know what level you are thinking should be charged - and who.

Then you "honestly don't know" anything, since it got spelled out, already.

Oh, wait. I'm not responding to you, because you don't honestly do anything, for the most part.

Back when it occurred, did Larry call it first degree murder?  Charged to all three?

I'm very sorry - I dont recall.

Went back five days from here and he didnt say it.

RNC and Trump campaign robocalls urge Republicans to vote absentee by falsely claiming Democrats oppose it.

The Party of Liars.

Editing videos to make false representations. Making bogus claims about mail in voting. Distorting the record every way they can - both Trump's and Biden's.

No wonder Kid and Ward like them.

[facilitatorn]

The republican party is a purely criminal organization at this point. It was mainly criminal for The last 20 or 40 years, depending on how you look at it. The last non-criminal impulses and activities have all been squeezed out. There is nothing left there but pure scum.

Trump is running a honkey cracker MS-13.
