Texas has disbarred a crooked prosecutor who sent an innocent man to death row.
http://www.cbsnews.com/news/ch.....onviction/
Roger Rabbit Commentary: It doesn’t seem like enough. Given the victim spent 18 years on death row for a crime he didn’t commit, and the taxpayers shelled out $1.4 million of compensation, it seems to me this prosecutor ought to do some serious prison time himself. But at least he’ll never practice law again.
So far this thread is 100% free of batshit insanity.
@2 It won’t last, mark my words.
Meanwhile, a Chicago cop who killed a mentally disturbed teenager wielding a bat and also killed an innocent neighbor woman has filed a lawsuit against the dead teen’s estate alleging that killing these two individuals has caused him “extreme emotional trauma.”
http://www.cnn.com/2016/02/07/.....index.html
Roger Rabbit Commentary: This isn’t as laughable as it sounds. The dead teen’s family has filed a wrongful death lawsuit against the city, so his estate might collect a couple million dollars from taxpayers. This cop, not satisfied with his police pay,* obviously sees a golden opportunity to put some of it in his own pocket. I assume he didn’t sue the innocent victim of his hair-trigger gunfire for compassionate reasons.
* Of course, if he was truly traumatized, he’ll retire on a disability pension instead of returning to work, also at taxpayer expense, but this might actually be a better deal for Chicago citizens than having him on the streets with a badge and gun.
Sure, it’s still very early in the process. And hopefully there’s lots more blood to be spilled in the weeks and months ahead.
But I think a credible argument can be made that the NH primary is reasonably predictive of the eventual Republican nominee (not so much the Democrats). And while that may not be the case this year (very weird year for the GOP) I think we’ll have a very good picture of exactly how the Republican fight will proceed hereafter.
This thread is 100% loaded with TPPS hatred of FACTS!
I just saw that video of Carson’s confusion heading onto the debate stage.
WTF? He’s baked. Right? Isn’t that what it looks like? I guess I just assumed that the first major national political figure to be an active weed user would be a Democrat – and that it wouldn’t be for a few more years at least. This is progress. (?)
@7 Being that he’s a doc, if he’s actually been using something it could be far more exotic that anything we civilians would even think of.
More likely, he’s simply old and tired and trying desperately to tread water in an unfamiliar pond.
@2 re @6 – See? Told you so.
@7 It looks like the backstage confusion at a high school play, and there’s nothing wrong with it, except these guys are running for president, so you expect them to be a little better organized in case they’re called upon to manage a Cuban missile crisis or another 9/11.
@10,
do we detect a GOP trend?
Meanwhile, a Florida man who threw a live alligator into the drive-up window of a Wendy’s outlet has been charged with assault with a deadly weapon, but the cops let the alligator get off scot-free.

Breaking News — A Michigan state elections board has unanimously approved a recall petition against GOP Gov. Rick Snyder.
http://www.cbsnews.com/news/re.....o-proceed/
Roger Rabbit Commentary: There’s a rumor that Snyder considers this recall effort a lead pipe cinch. Okay, I admit I made that up.
The president of a private Catholic college in Maryland compared incoming freshmen to “bunnies who need to be drowned.” In keeping with the finest traditions of academic freedom, the college has fired two faculty members who leaked his remarks to the student newspaper, while retaining the president who made the offensive remarks.
http://www.cbsnews.com/news/mo.....-comments/
@14 I’m always amazed by people who go to, or work at, religious schools complaining about the shitty way they are treated. Like religion is in any way fair or reasoned or just. They deserve what they get in my opinion.
@15 They’ll probably last longer if they remember the Catholic Church is a top-down organization in which employees are expected to do what they’re told, not challenge authority, and not complain.
The special counsel appointed in the Flint water case said today that criminal charges are possible. The most serious charge, involuntary manslaughter, could fetch 15 years in prison. Is Gov. Snyder trembling yet? Earlier today, a Michigan elections board approved a recall petition against him. Not a good day for the governor.
Oh, Ruby, Ruby, Ruby.
Sometimes people are hard to judge. I wouldn’t have thought that the “Robot” gaff was that big a deal. Nor that the brief late night media spoofing would land very hard. But looks like “The Future of the GOP” is a bit more prickly than I would have guessed. Guess he’s done.
Next!
@ 2,3, 4
How right RR was.
Of course, the insanity was RR’s. Unfortunately for we citizens of WA, RR was not disbarred and we were subject to his incompetence for an entire career.
The CPD officer filed a countersuit. The family of the dead guy, who had attacked the cop, is already suing the cop for the crime of defending himself. The countersuit gives the cop some breathing room for a bit, and gives the family a reason to look again at the facts before proceeding with a suit when the dead guy, their relative, was the aggressor.
The unfortunately killed neighbor died after a through-and-through bullet struck her as well.
@18 It’s even worse than you realize. The Rubiobot, it turns out, is prone to panic attacks. Not a good trait for a commander-in-chief with a finger on the nuclear button.
http://www.motherjones.com/kev.....cker-chief
@19 “The unfortunately killed neighbor”
Doc just coined a new synonym for “collateral damage” resulting from a cop with an itchy trigger finger spraying everybody in sight.
@19 So, Bickle, want to lay bets on who’ll collect in that case?

@jpodhoretz
32 percent of Ds in NH said honesty was most important trait in pres–and they went 93-5 for Sanders. NINETY-THREE to FIVE.
The 5 for Clinton were voters who follow HA
more importantly, we don’t care.
Most liberal and moderate voters don’t care that Bill Clinton fooled around and then lied about it. They don’t care that Hillary Clinton plays up her religion and southern accent. They don’t care about the emails, etc. We just don’t view politics through that kind of moral lens. Many liberal voters don’t just forgive Democratic candidates for whoring themselves for campaign money, we applaud them for it. I was delighted when Obama chose to blow by the spending limits. This is our system, like it or not. And unilateral disarmament is stupid.
http://horsesass.org/open-thre.....nt-1307202
“32 percent of Ds ”
100 – 32 > 32?
Don’t forget to show your work.
I’m not sure that it isn’t Rubio who is on some type of drug….you know he pals around with the drug dealers after all. Right Boob!
Election update: Trump (34%) and Sanders (56%) win NH; in GOP race, Kasich is 2nd (16%), Bush 3rd (12%), Cruz 4th (11%), Rubio 5th (10%), Christie 6th (8%), Fiorina 7th (4%), and Carson is dead last with 2%.
I think Steve Schmidt is sniffing Trump’s ass. I think he’s looking for a job. I think what it all boils down to is all the political types don’t care whether they believe in a candidate, and all that they really want is a job in a high place in a place (DC) that they love to talk bad about – bunch of money hungry, power grabbing feigns.
So the question is, which contestants get sent home this week?
With 15% of the votes counted, Sanders has 21,660 votes and Carson has 769 votes.
Now that I have a moment, a follow up to Boob on 23,
you need to loosen up a bit. Really.
We all grind the ax from time to time. But honestly, that post of mine you quoted was about a week old. Just how the fuck do you find the time to log, and track back to shit that long ago? Don’t you golf or something?
And for pity’s sake, if you’re going to hang on to shit for days and days, biding your apparently abundant spare time, waiting to spring the trap, at least try to build a better trap. 93% of 32% is not a majority. I’m sure if you just keep trying long enough and hard enough you’ll find a statistic you can use that actually adds up. Ask the right poll question in the right way and you can get just about any result you want. That isn’t my point.
Bob, you just need to move on now. That moment is passed. And your life is passing too. There will be other moments to make me look bad. I promise. Now get out and enjoy the sun. You may not see it again for months.
If the Canadian was going to show his ability to reach beyond the Tea-Bible Bubble it had to be here.
By failing to make a better showing than this, he’s putting the Governors right back in the running – at least as far as the party elders are concerned. A tie with Jeb! does not look at all convincing.
With 20% of the votes counted, Sanders now has more votes than the top 3 GOP candidates combined.
Facts are to a loon what sunlight is to a vampire.
“Carson is dead last with 2%”
The loon’s head will explode. All that mattress money the loon donated and only 2% of the vote to show for it. The loon would have done better investing in oil stocks last summer.
Who will stay, who will drop out? I think Carson will stay for now; Fiorina probably is gone. Christie’s on life support.
Hillary is reprising Chris Rock’s “It ain’t right!” speech.
@23 bob, Lets compare that to the Republican candidates to understand why some of us don’t seem to care. We would care, but compared to republicans, it’s not important.
Most liberal and moderate voters don’t care that Bill Clinton fooled around and then lied about it.
>> I don’t care if the alternative is voting for republicans who wants to negate my marriage to my husband and negate our parenting rights.
They don’t care that Hillary Clinton plays up her religion and southern accent.
>> I don’t care if the alternative is voting for republicans who want to get rid of the Affordable Care Act
They don’t care about the emails, etc.
>> I don’t care if the alternative is voting for republicans who want to make abortion and birth control and sex ed illegal.
Many liberal voters don’t just forgive Democratic candidates for whoring themselves for campaign money, we applaud them for it.
>> I’m supporting Bernie, but if the alternative is voting for republicans who have no problem obliterating the entire middle class, then I don’t care.
bob, I don’t care why you don’t want Hillary. You were not going to vote for her anyway. Why do you SUPPORT republicans?
@37 “Why do you SUPPORT republicans?”
Because, like all Republicans, he worships at the altar of mammon.
But honestly, that post of mine you quoted was about a week old. Just how the fuck do you find the time to log, and track back to shit that long ago? Don’t you golf or something?
Maybe Oregon moron, Travis remembers the BULLSHITTIUM you post. In a sense it’s really easy. You post the same BULLSHITTIUM over and over. Like a broken record or a re-run on the teevee. It really doesn’t take a lot of brain power to remember what you or others like you write. All we have to do is replace a previous date with the later date. Hence the first entry yesterday in the Monday open thread!
The Oregon moron wrote
You see everyone there are many keywords here. All this fertile soil for Travis and Puddy! This admission is powerful!
DUMMOCRETINS are whores for big money
DUMMOCRETINS are whores to the highest bidder
DUMMOCRETINS are against rules that stop them from being naturally slimy
DUMMOCRETINS are only into religion as needed
DUMMOCRETINS are wife cheaters
DUMMOCRETINS are chameleons
DUMMOCRETINS are liars
DUMMOCRETINS are reckless with top super secret documents
Ever heard of primary keywords? Puddy does it all the time. We conservatives don’t have 24 hour moronic moonbattic memory malady. Hence the clueless arschloch crazed databaze monomaniacal deala had to create a crazed databaze because 24 hour moronic moonbattic memory malady is really strong in that one.
Look like Bernie vs Trump in November.
Listening to Bernie’s speech he’s on fire. He’s got my vote – win or lose. If nothing else Trump will have to start to talk about the unaffordable cost of higher education; he’s already been talking about sticking it to the drug companies for cheaper drugs.
This is looking like a good fight that is going to have to go to the left.
As much as I’d vote for Clinton, I think Bernie will do a better job getting Trump to go to the left….not that he could reneg on it all after getting elected….but then there will be 4 years later that he would have to deal with it.
Why do you support DUMMOCRETINS?

You don’t care if Americans die from Heilary’s cavalier attitude? Wow worser… you proved how shitty you really are! You could care less if someone died? You could care less if military secrets were leaked? The Pentagon and State face 100,000 attacks per day. High level people in the Obummer sadministration think Heilary’s homebrew personal email server was hacked! 21.4 million OPM records with 4.5 million fingerprint sets disappeared under Obummer’s watch and you don’t care worser?
The ENDS always JUSTIFIES the MEANS!
That’s why DUMMOCRETIN are SCUM!
Now…
Wait…

@ 30
What you wrote was so well-conceived, DR. I had a contemporaneous comment in which I admired your honesty all set to go, and yet deleted it.
Your comment took me about two minutes to find. I was walking my dog at 5:21 today, which Google tells me is when the sun set.
Take pride in your support for abject dishonesty as long as it meets your ideologic goal, DR. It’s a refreshingly straightforward perspective for you to have shared.
People like Better and YLB still think the Clintons are honest.
Trump currently at 34%. So 2/3 of the Republicans voted for the losers.
I’ll never have sex again.

I won’t vote for their honesty. People who spend a lifetime in politics are not known for being completely honest. I will vote to keep another empty suit out of the White House.
See fall 2008.

@57 ohh I’ve had plenty of vagina and you can keep all of it for yourself, and I know well enough not to call someone a vagina when you have one sleeping with you, I assume, right next to you.
So disrespectful with no allegiance. But you wouldn’t recognize that Clayton.
Now go blow Ben.
Ding! Ding!
Boob – take “heart” like Kasich says. You got great company in the liar department with the babbling jackass.
Sorry babbling jackass, yours truly is going to caucus for Bernie Sanders. Awww. You’ve been proved wrong again.
Funny that more than one troll here has accused yours truly of antisemitism. Why would a antisemite support David Goldstein with contributions and want to to caucus for Bernie Sanders?
Only in the two synapses that passes for a troll.

Yours truly does not vote for klownservatics, one who robotically babbles pre-packaged endless war bullshit and the other who wastes time pulling stupid failing stunts that if they were successful would throw this country into an endless depression – and it turns out the jerk took money from Wall Street.
So typical that an HA troll would LOVE that shit!

You NEEDED IT! Was it on a Sat. night? I’ll have to check!

@70,
I’m quite sure it’s entertaining right now by the look of your responses.
And as much fun as I’ve had questioning Cruz’ citizenship status, tonight makes it academic. They either get Trump, or they get a brokered convention. Either way Cruz is toast. He’ll be given time on the dais in Cleveland, probably early Wed evening. And he’ll concede by claiming a “moral” victory. That’ll play well to his fan base.
@85 Yawwwn. Poetic? Hardly Boob. Go to sleep now. You gotta get up early to troll.
Too funny that a Rand-ite would have any American Lit left on his shelf much less remember it.
@ 88
One is moved to wonder whether Walt Whitman had you, or at least @52 your vote, in mind when he wrote this, YLB.
Whispers of Heavenly Death
Whispers of heavenly death, murmur’d I hear;
Labial gossip of night – sibilant chorals;
Footsteps gently ascending – mystical breezes, wafted soft and low;
Ripples of unseen rivers – tides of a current, flowing, forever flowing;
(Or is it the plashing of tears? the measureless waters of human tears?)
I see, just see, skyward, great cloud-masses;
Mournfully, slowly they roll, silently swelling and mixing;
With, at times, a half-dimm’d, sadden’d, far-off star,
Appearing and disappearing.
(Some parturition, rather – some solemn, immortal birth:
On the frontiers, to eyes impenetrable,
Some Soul is passing over.)
Enjoy your evening, all.
@89 – Groan. After Bernie or Hillary wins this November – do us all a favor Boob.
Go Galt in that New Mexico gulch. Hob nob with Martinez. High five your favorite token Dem Richardson at the tee and moulder oh so quietly in retirement.
No worries. No one will take the Amtrak to bother you. You’ll have to settle for being forgotten.

…do us all a favor Boob.
YLB, even your cut-downs are feminine.
I had to be away several hours tonight to attend a community meeting (unrelated to the New Hampshire election), so I haven’t caught up on this thread yet, but like everyone else I’m trying to figure out the impact of New Hampshire. Here’s what Nate Silver wrote before the results were known:
“No matter what happens, the media reaction to Rubio’s finish tonight is likely to be hyperbolic. If he gets (say) 22 percent of the vote, or only 8 percent, a strong reaction might be warranted. But you may also see reporters parsing relatively small differences, like between 16 percent and 13 percent. Mostly, you should ignore them, because there are two more important things to watch in the aftermath of New Hampshire. The first, as FiveThirtyEight contributor Julia Azari writes, is how Republican Party leaders react to Rubio’s performance. Is he continuing to get endorsements? How are people who actually have influence within the Republican Party — not just TV talking heads — spinning his performance? If Rubio finishes narrowly ahead of Bush, are there calls for Bush to drop out? The second thing to watch: How does Rubio perform in this Saturday’s debate in South Carolina. …
“Kasich has some potential to outperform his polls … he has one of the best ground games in New Hampshire. … The question is how Kasich would take advantage of a strong finish. He has run pretty far to the left in New Hampshire despite having a fairly conservative record as governor of Ohio. That moderation really does help him here, but there are fewer centrist Republicans outside New Hampshire. Furthermore, Kasich doesn’t have all that much money remaining, certainly not as compared with candidates like Bush. My guess is that there’s a difference between Kasich doing pretty well and doing really well. If Kasich replicates Jon Huntsman’s 17 percent of the vote from four years ago, he might be a good story for a few days but not have much impact beyond that. If he gets to 20 percent or more of the vote, however, finishing well ahead of the other ‘establishment lane’ candidates and even threatening to win here, that’s a different story.”
http://fivethirtyeight.com/fea.....n-primary/
Trump, if anything, outperformed expectations — and is looking more and more like the probable nominee. Rubio was wounded in New Hampshire, but for the reasons Silver stated, it’s too soon to count him out. Kasich looked good tonight, but if Silver’s theorem holds up, it won’t mean much. Maybe keep him in the race a little longer, but he’s probably on a train to nowhere.
Christie seemed tonight to be signaling he will drop out of the race tomorrow. I don’t see how Fiorina keeps going after her weak showings in Iowa (1.9%) and New Hampshire (4%). Carson is in a different category; he wasn’t competitive in Iowa and bombed in New Hampshire, but his mass-mail fundraising could keep him on the campaign trail for a while longer, and he’s not in it to win anyway, he’s in it to sell books and make money, and he’ll milk that cow as long as she’s got any milk left in her.
@40 “Look like Bernie vs Trump in November.”
I dunno. New Hampshire was always expected to be Bernie’s best state. He has to campaign in the south now. He probably won’t win there. And I wouldn’t call Trump a slam-dunk. He wins in a fragmented race with many candidates, but if he can’t expand his appeal beyond the 35% or so of Republican voters he has, he loses in the end, because 35% isn’t a majority.
@41 “Why do you support DUMMOCRETINS?”
Because they represent workers, consumers, and ordinary people; whereas Republicans represent business, employers, and rich people.
@42 Now we know for sure Fuckwad isn’t above taking cheap shots at other posters, not that we ever doubted it.
@45 “You don’t care if Americans die from Heilary’s cavalier attitude?”
How do you feel about the thousands of Americans who died from Chimp’s cavalier attitude? You know, the moron who attacked the wrong country?
@48 You’re planning to die a virgin?
@49 ““It doesn’t take government, it takes our hearts”..
We need government because some people have no heart.
@50 I will vote to keep fascists off the Supreme Court.
@56 The worst Democrat on her worst day is still much better than the best Republican on his best day.
@72 “Black Lives Matter activist kills himself on steps of Ohio statehouse”
And Boob is celebrating …
@95,
Weve always known that.
That troll has always been a fearful, nihilistic, violence crazed, peddler of lies and hatred.
Obama’s budget request includes $1.2 billion for Northgate-Lynnwood light rail, $75 million for Seattle’s downtown streetcar, and $43 million for Community Transit’s bus-rapid transit line connecting Bothell, Mill Creek, Everett’s McCollum Park and Paine Field, according to the Seattle Times.

LOL! Boob’s goin’ so kreepy.
Nice work representing your politics Boob. Stay funny. We’ll keep laughing at you.
Here’s another Kreep to keep you wishing for November:

Somethin to keep a dope alive!
@91 what no use of the word vagina? Bob you are a cunt.
I’m actually starting to scroll over Boob’s comments like I do the Apes. Congratulations Boob you’ve stepped up in life.
Rog is this the cop you posted about the other day, the one Boob defended by saying to mother was an innocent bystander? I think Bob said something to the effect that the other person getting killed was an innocent by stander through and through? I took that as the billet went through a wall? I didn’t bother to read the article you posted so I’m not sure this is a different story or the same.

R senile,
See #41.
That’s what DUMMOCRETINS are!!!
The most common and well-known version of the ad hominem fallacy is just a simple insult, and is called the “abusive ad hominem”. It occurs whenever a person has given up attempting to persuade a person or an audience about the reasonable of a position and is now resorting to mere personal attacks.
Insults are not arguments, when people resort to insults and personal abuses, then, they have run out of logic.
I said here before that Hillary’s glad handing Henry Kissinger was a big mistake. So what does she do? She has him on stage to hug and kiss. This shows a) She is completely out of touch with the left. b) Completely out of touch with the youth. c) Completely out of touch with the need for diplomacy over war. I’ll say it again. Her judgement has a serious flaw. What she needs to do is distance herself from past failures. Not hug them. She can do this by condemning the way Republicans blew the Iraq war.
@ 112
Hillary’s going to need someone to similarly glad-hand her tenure as SoS. Best to set a precedent, given her record, and that of her boss.
@106 Nope, I hadn’t heard about this one. It’s about as clear an example as you could get that police agencies are hiring people who should never be cops. And, as usual, the killer cop isn’t in jail and taxpayers get stuck with the tab for the lives he destroyed and the damage he inflicted on an innocent family.
@107 What are you talking about? I’ve never accused you of wearing women’s clothing, nor would I ever post such a comment, because you’re clearly too stupid to figure out how to put it on, even if your wife assisted you.
@109 See #110 & #111.
@113 Sez the highminded doc who voted for Chimp and his merry band of monkeys.
@117,
he certainly doesn’t believe his own rhetoric.
Like a whole lot of Bush voters who quietly peeled the “W” stickers off their Hummers after the PNAC wars blew up, Boob would privately admit the Bush presidency was a foreign and domestic debacle.
Destabilized a third of the developing world? Mission Accomplished!
Cratered the global economy? Mission Accomplished!
Control of the Persian oil economy? Fail.
Roll back equal rights? Fail.
Prayer in school? Fail.
Balanced Budget? Fail.
Outlaw abortion? Fail.
Create jobs? Fail.
Privatize Social Security? Fail.
No Child Left Behind? Fail.
Contain Putey Put? Fail.
Contain Iran? Fail.
Contain North Korea? Fail.
Boob is just aping a version of the Rubio hustle. That Bush’s mess is the result of seven years of Obama.
You see, the directional flow of time is the last element of objective reality for movement conservatives to deny.

The loon is spewing hate late at night and then first thing in the morning. That must be what happens when a batshit crazy loon can’t get any pussy.
Well Steve then you’ve been pussy-less for years with your continual hatred for the past few years eh?
I’ve never accused you of wearing women’s clothing
Where did Puddy claim that R senile?
Those lawyer rewording tricks don’t work on Puddy. Puddy is a conservative and those weak minded comments only work on DUMMOCRETINS!
You’ve been the master of the ad hominem and nasty since you first arrived and claimed you were some dumb wabbit!
See ya!
worser @110 & @111,
Good try dude. You claimed “your husband” hence you must be the wife eh?
@118. Good list. However, I expect bob will ignore it, doesn’t fit his victim narrative.
For example, republicans could have banned abortion when they were in control, they didn’t because it makes conservative politicians more money and votes to keep it around and whine they were thwarted, victims of evil democrats. Send more money and they will get it abolished, this time for sure. Bob know that.
