    It is sad that law enforcement lost so many in one day. It is a dangerous job, and they face many challenges. Also, the,march had been peaceful, and that is now sadly overshadowed.

    Never has talk been so cheap.

    “With the Republican National Convention less than two weeks away, moderate Republicans are drafting an amendment that would soften the GOP’s official position on gays and lesbians, CBS News has learned.”

    http://www.cbsnews.com/news/mo.....n-on-lgbt/

    Roger Rabbit Commentary: Don’t be fooled. Platforms are merely window dressing. This means absolutely nothing so long as Republican legislatures keep passing anti-LGBT laws and Republican governors continue signing them. Let the boycotts proceed.

    Bad news for Trumpistas: Hillary is starting to get a bounce in the polls, now that the FBI and DoJ have cleared her of any criminal wrongdoing with respect to her State Department emails, and voters are focusing on issues that matter:

    “Hillary Clinton leads Donald Trump by nine percentage points nationally, according to a new survey released by the Pew Research Center. … Voters view Clinton as the better candidate to handle race relations, healthcare, selecting Supreme Court justices and making foreign policy decisions, the poll found.”

    At a time when our nation needs unity and healing, Republican office holders are being assholes.

    “‘All those protesters last night, they ran the other way, expecting the men and women in blue to turn around and protect them. What hypocrites,’ Patrick said on Fox News earlier Friday. ‘I understand the First Amendment. I understand freedom of speech and I defend it. It is in our Constitution and is in our soul, but you can’t go out on social media and mainstream media and everywhere else and say that the police are racist or the police are hateful or the police are killers.'”

    http://www.cnn.com/2016/07/08/.....index.html

    Roger Rabbit Commentary: Sorry, but you CAN and SHOULD go out on social media, MSM, and everywhere else and say the police are racist, hateful killers when they are. I mean, what else can we do, just ignore the problem and let the racist killer cops go on killing people because of their skin color?

  6. 6

    @ 3

    Platforms are merely window dressing.

    For both parties. But they sway poorly comprehending voters like the Fucking Moron, and in doing so they serve a use.

  8. 8

    @6 “they serve a use”

    In other words, they’re more useful than you are. I can’t argue with that.

  9. 9

    @7 Does anyone doubt what will happen in 2017? On Hillary’s first day in office, the Republican House will try to impeach her. This will be followed by 50, 100, or 1,000 more impeachment votes. And for the net four years, absolutely none of the nation’s important business will get done. ACA repeal redux. The only way voters can prevent this is by voting Republicans out of Congress every chance they get.

  10. 10

    @3 here, here.

    The article mentions Republican activists. Ohhh my. That dirty word, activists, usually used by Republicans to put the chill on some liberal agenda.

    The shooting in Minneapolis didn’t begin because of a broken tail light.


    “I’m going to stop a car,” the officer says on the recording. “I’m going to check IDs. I have reason to pull it over.”

    “The two occupants just look like people that were involved in a robbery,” the officer says. “The driver looks more like one of our suspects, just ‘cause of the wide set nose,” the officer continues.

    http://www.kare11.com/news/pol...../267042738

    And the tail lights appear operable in this photo:

    Just listen to those racist Fox News affiliate newspeople in Phoenix

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z5r0fCbvDJU

    pointing out all of those peaceful #BLM protesters throwing rocks and other objects at police, and police using their shields to protect themselves.

    Oh, wait. My bad. It’s ABC affiliates.

    This doesn’t look like peaceful behavior at all. Quick, where’s the Fucking Moron? Maybe he can post a Jesse Williams tweet and make everything Better.

    Reflecting on the events of this past week, two more black men were gunned down by white cops under questionable circumstances, and then a dozen cops were gunned down in apparent retaliation. This is madness.

    The Dallas carnage wasn’t perpetrated by ISIS or a domestic terrorism group. It was just one more example of a crazed individual acting out with an AR-15, this time driven by “black rage.” One more failure of Republican gun policies that put lethal military weaponry in the hands of anyone who wants it.

    Our two resident HA trolls, Boob and Puffy, acting true to form, exploited these tragedies to smear Black Lives Matters (Boob) and Democrats (Puffy). Their brainless, irrational postings over the last few days are nothing new; they exemplify the hate-filled partisan stupidity that is standard fare for these two. What would we do for entertainment without our idiot trolls?

    Long live the idiot trolls. May you kick them well in return. They deserve to be well-kicked.

  15. 15

    Someone check to see if Boob is a Nazi.

    “I think I’ll check Boob’s ID, cause he sounds like a Nazi. Is possible that he might be a Nazi. Let me check.”

    Boom boom. The You are Dead.

    @15 You may be onto something. He might be Dr. Mengele reincarnated. I’m not sure about that; it’s just a suspicion. I kinda doubt he would perform heinous medical experiments on children, but he does seem like the type who would pull the wings off monarch butterflies for amusement.

  17. 17

    I’m usually pro-union, but everything has exceptions.

    Roger Rabbit Commentary: This is what Puffy blames on Democrats. In reality, big-city police departments are islands of racist Republicanism, a fact he conveniently overlooks. I’d like to see Puffy try to pull off painting this guy as a Democrat.

  18. 18

    @ SnideShow Bob @ 12

    In other words, he was pulled over simply because he had black skin.

    The cop that shot Mr. Castille is a rather vocal TeaPartyist, has posted several pictures of himself posing with his weapons with rather prominently displayed TRUMP signs in the background. He’s also apparently a member of the OathKeepers Neonazi organization.

    Nice. He’s probably Ku Klux Klan too, although the Tea Party thing is really just the Klan under another moniker. Changing the name of an organization like that doesn’t change the color of the spots.

  19. 19

    @18,
    maybe Cheeto Jesus can get a photo op with him.
    One of “his guys” after all.

    At this point, it wouldn’t surprise me.

  20. 20

    @16 if he’s not pulling the wings off butterflies he is pick pocketing people because he can.

    I had two different experiences now with the medical profession where I swear the doctors cared about their money or fees then my health. One time the doctor told me I needed surgery right away, he was ready to operate on me instantly on a kidney, after a second opinion I didn’t do it but they still performed years of annual cat scans, I then move to york and doctors here tell me that they don’t think I have any issues.

    Then while here in NYC a different condition which they did a bunch of testing but nothing is really panning out. They were quick to schedule the testing but I had to hound them just for the results and now I hear nothing from them.

    In both cases it was the specialist doctors that were the problem. My general physician wasn’t the guy making all the money, but the specialists all the smelt was my money.

    I respect them for thier smartness and knowledge but money just makes them greedy. They think – well insurance will pay for it, they could really give a shit about being conservative.

  21. 21

    @20 Given that government pays half of Americans’ health care bills, medicine is one of our most highly socialist industries.

  22. 22

    @ 7

    Unless it turns out the profilee was a Crip, and then it’s OK for the cops to roust him as often as they can gin up an excuse.

    ’cause the dude may have been a Crip. Although why we wouldn’t already know that by now is beyond me.

  24. 24

    @23 Total red herring. White people being crime victims doesn’t mitigate police brutality against blacks one iota.

  25. 25

    @22 Do you have some reason to believe Mr. Castile was a Crip? Because I sure can’t find anything in the article you linked to which suggests that. In fact, it says he had no record at all, except for minor traffic violations. That doesn’t look like a Crip to me. It looks like Bickle being a jackass.

  29. 29

    @2 All the rolling stock is presumable passenger. Or will there be special cars? Would it be cool if they brought back the mail car? That probably won’t fly with the Post Office because of the total automation they have gone too, but I think mail cars are cool, and I think the Swiss still have them.
    PS When they say rolling stock that is everything but engines? Though I see the cars are special and there is no engine.
    Where is the coast to coast pneumatic underground train system…with a tube under the Bearing Straight.
    Well hip hip hurrah for California.

    @3 Careful there. The same can be said about the Democratic platform. Political scientists do take platforms seriously as in sometimes the winning candidate actually succeeds in making good on the promises. Still like the pirate code platforms are more like guidelines.

  31. 31

    @8 Still waiting for Gitmo to close.
    No troops in Afghanistan and Iraq.
    More transparency.
    Yeah guidelines….

  32. 32

    @9 It takes more than a day to do an impeachment. In fact the best the Republicans could do is form the committee to do the investigation. They may have to wait until she does something in office. If it turns out at some point will she do what Nixon did or will she follow her husbands example? Hopefully she will be able to keep Bill away from the AG’s office. If it’s a sex thing should she just admit to having sex with that woman? Will it be an intern?

  33. 33

    @14 All these crazed people doing these things? Why do we say that? Though the acts are despicable some of these shooters look capable. Maybe they decided it was a good day to die.
    After the Battle of Little Big Horn there was some noise about native Americans having military style weapons. Just can’t have that, though technically the Shoshone were a sovereign nation.

    Hopefully we are not at 1968 levels, but it’s getting close. How many cities burned that summer? I know Chicago did, and only reason Indy didn’t was because Robert Kennedy was in town and he ignored the advice of the mayor.

    Riot in Seattle? How about Tacoma?

    Whenever someone does what the shooter in Dallas did, everything about that individual comes to light. Whether he is black, an atheist, Muslim, Mexican, white, etc, etc, etc…and sometimes it is even stated if the individual was gay.

    But what is never said is whether the individual is straight. Is it just understood or assumed that the individual is straight. Or is this avoidance to associate being straight with anything like we associate being black to?

    Republican chickens come home to roost.

    @41 Comey didn’t “create” anything. Intent has been an element of most crimes since the days of English medieval common law. Of course, I appreciate that you view it from a different perspective, i.e., Republicans do everything with criminal intent. But Clinton isn’t a Republican, so that doesn’t apply.

  43. 43

    @39 Are you saying Obama shouldn’t have killed Osama? If not, then what’s your fucking point?

    I judge a man by who his friends and enemies are. Obama has the right friends and enemies. You shill for Republicans, who aren’t much different from Al Qaeda. (See villages destroyed, innocent people tortured, etc.)

  45. 45

    @32 You’re assuming they’ll follow the rules. I’m assuming they’ll bypass the rules, float their impeachment resolutions on the floor, and pass them with a voice vote. Just like they do with ACA repealers. Takes five minutes, ten at most.

    Okay, so we have about 200 protesters waking up in jail this morning, and shots fired at a police building in San Antonio, looks to me like people are beginning to riot. This isn’t good. It’s what you get when the governance system breaks down and some people feel they have to resort to antisocial behavior to get those in power to stop killing them and their kids. The same thing happened in the ’60s. The solution then was to end the draft and get out of Vietnam. Maybe the answer now is the cops should just stop killing them and their kids?

    You know, Boob, Hitler didn’t have our problems with violent protests or crazy people shooting cops. He simply confiscated all the guns, euthanized the mentally ill, and if somebody got out of line he sent his police to burn down the entire village, shoot the men and boys, send the women to brothels and the children to orphanages. Of course, that was a different situation because his cops didn’t go around randomly shooting unarmed black men for driving with broken tail lights. They didn’t have time for that. They were busy slaughtering millions of Jews. How do we know Trump’s rhetoric against Muslims and Mexicans won’t turn into concentration camps and mass murder? After all, Hitler’s hate-spewing started with rhetoric, and only later turned into physical violence. The strange thing is, Hitler made his intentions clear long before he got into power, yet people were surprised when he did that stuff. Maybe we should learn from experience and take Trump at his word, and believe what he says? Remember, these things always start small. Hitler started with shirts colored brown; Trump is equipping his stormtroopers with Not-Made-In-USA red hats. If morons like you put him in the White House, how can we know for sure that the chants at his rallies won’t morph into the tramp of boots? After all, Trump’s followers are people who like to bear arms. Big fans of open carry, some of them belong to militias reminiscent of the Freikorps, etc. So, yeah, Trump’s fascist, nativist, racialist, and nationalistic tendencies are a bit concerning to some of us, at least to the point where we don’t feel inclined to vote for him.

    @47 We try to constrain the military by keeping it under civilian control. For the most part, that works, at least in the sense that we haven’t had military coups or dictatorships in our country.

    Some of our police, on the other hand, seem out of control. While we all decry cop killings, only some of us decry killer cops. The cops have most of the guns and do most of the killing; for every cop killed by a civilian, more than ten civilians are killed by the cops.

    Of course we don’t want cops getting killed in the line of duty. But we don’t want cops killing unarmed civilians, either, and there definitely seems to be a racial component to much of our policing and especially with regard to police violence against civilians. That’s not working, and needs to change.

    No other developed country has the police violence we do. The entire country of Britain averages about one police killing of a civilian a year. They also lose very few police officers in the line of duty. The situation is similar in many European countries, even though they have race relations problems as severe as ours. Why is that? The logical conclusion is that something’s wrong with our police.

    It isn’t hard to figure out where it’s coming from. Every time a cop kills another black man, the police unions issue another racist statement. We’ve gotta get rid of the racist cops, it’s as simple as that. The vast majority of our police are doing a fine job. All we have to do is replace the bad cops with more like them. Just get rid of the racist cops, the rogue cops, the bad cops, the trigger-happy cops, the cops with mental issues, and it’s fixed.

    Is that something you can sign on for, Boob?

    How an indicted FL Congresswoman’s defense is shaping up:

    Upon leaving the courthouse Friday afternoon, one of Brown’s attorneys, Elizabeth White spoke briefly standing at Brown’s side. She said that despite the charges, she believes Brown will be reelected and added that an indictment is not a conviction.

    “Congresswoman Brown is the subject of an indictment today, but in reality, she has endured a one-sided inquisition in the court of public opinion over one year,” White said. “Perhaps had [the Department of Justice] chosen to devote its resources more thoughtfully, 50 people would be alive today.”

    It appears White is referring to the tragedy in Orlando last month where a lone gunman shot and killed 49 people at a gay nightclub.

    http://www.firstcoastnews.com/...../267820069

    The FBI said that despite raising over $800,000 in donations, the indictment alleges that One Door was associated with only two scholarships totaling $1,200 that were awarded to students to cover educational costs.

    The Fucking Moron has posed a question. I am surprised

    http://horsesass.org/open-thre.....nt-1318257

    it took so long, although not that he asked it.

    Fucking Moron, the Second Amendment validates a right. To keep and bear.

    The Second Amendment is not an obligation to fire indiscriminately just because you possess the ability to do so. It’s a right to defend yourself, if you deem it necessary and appropriate in the circumstance.

    This is different from the First Amendment, which gives you the right to say any fucking moronic thing you wish, almost always without potential grave consequence. Other than making yourself look like a Fucking Moron.

    What a wiser individual would have observed is that open carry was practiced, safely, even in a true crisis situation.

    It was an example of guns, controlled.

    It may also be why we aren’t debating the usefulness or uselessness of open carry on Sunday talk shows today.

    @90 “The Second Amendment is … a right to defend yourself”

    Actually, it doesn’t say that. It’s a right to keep and bear. Not keep, bear, and use.

    “open carry was practiced, safely, even in a true crisis situation”

    With cops being shot all around them, those open carry types are lucky to be alive. Had they tried to return fire, as the NRA advocates, they probably wouldn’t be.

  93. 93

    @85 so let me see if I can follow sloppy’s logic. Sloppy was pulled over and wasn’t shot to death, so cops murdering black people for no reason is a baseless accusation.
    sloppy, your personal anecdote is a better example of your white privilege than anything to do with the issues of Black Lives Matter.

  94. 94

    There were many open carry activists at the Dallas shooting

    Yes worser, they were there supporting those black lives matter peeps. When the bullets started flying the DUMMOCRETINS ran.

    Thanks for identifying that small FACT!

  95. 95

    Ahhh yes SPAM @91. It’s so good to know that QPPS @91, acknowledges the FACT that Puddy owns it hook line and sinker.

  96. 96

    Someone pointed out:

    They did not deter the shooter from his attack,
    They did not stop the shooter during his attack

    DAYUM this worser character is as dumb as a dump truck of rocks traveling up and down the interstates. Maybe because the shooter was shooting at WHITE Po-Po 5-O only worser; ya think? Somehow that small FACT is lost on worser. This is why Puddy claimed last week that worser cries like a bitch when it doesn’t get its way on HA DUMMOCRETIN questions and discussions! Also it could be the police told everyone to take cover?

    Why bother having any discussion with worser? It’s a real lost cause!

  97. 97

    What’s interesting is how The Bern will throw out all of his objections to Careless Crooked Heilary and kiss the ring this week.

    Fucking Moron @ 93

    @85 so let me see if I can follow sloppy’s logic.

    First, you meant @87, not @85. So right away you are incorrect.

    The rest of your screed demonstrates to us that, no, you cannot follow “logic”. You demonstrate instead that my previously spewed observation of your comprehension skills as equivalent to those of a high school underclassman was accurate and that you have not improved.

    Your spew was moronic. Ergo my recent decision to refer to you as Fucking Moron.

    Everyone around here knows which commenter I am addressing when I do.

  104. 104

    @40 I suppose if the Dallas police didn’t normally carry guns that would have helped. Then again the shooter may not have targeted the Dallas police if they normally didn’t carry firearms. Might have to Arlington, Texas, or not have planned or taken any action against police anywhere.

  105. 105

    @42 So General Pratreus is a Republican? The facts of the case indicate he had no intent that the information he was sharing with his mistress was going to a foreign power. As far as the lying since under the UCMJ adultery is crime he may well have lied to the FBI because of that. And adultery can cost someone a security clearance. It’s kinda a guideline thing though.
    I really don’t think the courts use this whole theory of if Democrats do it it’s ok because there was no intent and Republicans do something there is always intent so they are guilty. Even if true it’s not going to fly with the Federal Courts.
    Or do you have some test the courts could use in these matters? How do they know if a defendant is a Democrat or Repulican? Or is there something called a constitutional amendment that one should refer to before creating the test? Perhaps the exercise of creating a test is not necessary.
    Still why don’t you go for creating a test here RR. Like to see what you come u with. As long as I can take it apart.

    @103 not nice Puffballs, I thought you were Milos’ freind….Is that how you treat all your friends? Did Milos do something to make you upset. Is Milos upset with you?

    This poor guy loses his job because the Evangelicals don’t like his behavior. The poor guy probably has a family of goats to take care of.

    @43 I shill for the Constitution of the United States, and believe there is a argument that the President violated the Constitution in this action as much as the previous President did getting us into a war in that part of the world. I believe Osama should have been captured, tried in a court of law, and imprisoned or executed only after a guilty verdict.
    I believe under the Geneva Cnvention the United States was wrong to violate the soveiegnty of another nation to go in and execute this bastard. I believe the SOB had rights as a human being.
    Putting the Pakistanis our allies on the appropriate hot plate, and using the United States ambassador, and even a visit by the President on Air force one to get the Pakistanis to send their folks in their and find out who was living at that house would have been more productive, and we would know whether we should be paying a dime to that country in these struggles. While the enemy of my enemy is my friend is of importance. I might need to make sure just which parts of that are important to the leaders of Pakistan. Perhaps they are not our friends, but Osmas and the Taliban.

  109. 109

    I wonder if law enforcement fears the Dallas Shooter becomes a Martyr?

    I wonder if further black individuals are killed if this would happen. Regardless of where the blame lies, do you think it is in the best interest to stop the killings?

    Stayed tuned – will there be a second act to this play?

  110. 110

    @45 Unless they use the opportunity at the beginning of the session to change the rules, they must follow the rules on matters of impeachment. If they don’t have the votes they may do what you are suggesting as the circus can’t go anywhere. If they do have the votes to impeach and frankly whatever they think an impeachable offense is a high crime of misdemeanor is an impeachable offense if they can get it passed by the majority vote.
    The consequences of all this would be when there is a Democratic Congress with a substantial majority able to impeach a Republican President. That fact is the only one that might have some sway or should have with potential Republican Congressional stupidity. Unfortunately I do agree with you that the current batch can’t see that far down the road, though the concept of pay back is a bitch should not e one they are unfamiliar with.

  111. 111

    @52 Are you suggesting he should prefer the low crime rate under Staling? Under Mao except for those cultural revolution periods? Under Fidel Castro?
    Though I think these folks all agreed revolution came from the throat of a gun. Or where power comes from.

    Owner of El Gaucho hiring dishwashers at $15/hour…in Bellevue. #raisingstandards #skyaloft

    Hey, Goldy, how much additional income from that base rate do the dishwashers earn after their share of tips is added in? And how does this total compensation – hourly wage + tip income – compare with what the hourly wage was before Mackay and the subsequent buyer of that business made a small change

    http://seattle.eater.com/2016/.....no-tipping

    in compensation structure that you conveniently neglected to mention?

    You can always count on Goldy for half the story, enthusiastically spread. People like Fucking Moron count on it every day.

  113. 113

    @58 Totally wrong story RR. Trump is much much more like Huey Long than Adolf Hitler.
    Incidentally Hitler didn’t seize the people guns that had already happened under th Weimar Republic and before that the Kaiser didn’t exactly trust just anyone to have a gun.
    The Germans don’t have a super strong gun culture though. Like Hitlers brown shirts the Skinheads prefer using boots, and clubs and fists to beat people up than using guns.
    Even in establishing himself as Dictator for Life Hitler and the Nazi’s did not rely on firearms. There were a few used, but that was often to do internal control of the party than their enemies. It was awhile before the Gestapo could execute enemies of the state with a gun, they had to work up to it.

  114. 114

    If Goldy were to ever write a complete piece again, or do more than re-tweet without caring what he shilled as long as it was Nick-approved, we might see things like this:

    Former Tacoma server sues El Gaucho, alleges company improperly paid workers

    Managers have withheld tips from employees, failed to pay them time and a half for overtime work and required servers to work while not being clocked in, the class action alleges.

    It also contends management has paid workers with credit to use only at the restaurant instead of proper payment.

    Matthew Blasco, 32, is the server who filed the suit Tuesday against the Tacoma, Bellevue and Seattle El Gaucho locations.

    Wouldja look at that. Bellevue location, too.

    Cards with restaurant credit that the suit alleges were given in lieu of payment for off-the-clock work (such as prep work or cleaning) looked similar to a gift card, Cochran said, and could be used only at El Gaucho’s locations.

    Now, I like Power Hour as much as the next guy – like Artfart, maybe – but I can afford it. At $15/hr I’d be eating at a fast food joint, if I could still find one convenient enough to visit.

    Management employees were included in the tip pool, Cochran said, “taking away the amount of money available to ensure people are getting paid minimum wage.”

    http://www.thenewstribune.com/.....25327.html

    Always follow the money. Always. Back before the money followed Goldy from a billionaire’s payroll account, Goldy used to know how to do that.

    Throne-sniffing, however, can really interfere with your ability to detect what’s important.

  115. 115

    @62 Of course it could be training issue as it takes longer to train a police officer in most European nations than here. A lot more officers actually have real college degrees in the first place. Europe treats law enforcement differently and insist on a higher level of training even for the parking enforcement guy.
    In Italy you can ignor the parking police, and even the local police who aren’t always that well trained and have little or no power, but don’t ignor the Carabinari. They carry machine guns and will shoot you.

    @63 If a black man is found hanging in a tree in much of the south that is going to impact the black community even if it’s found to be a suicide. Its going to be interpreted as a lynching. With or without KKK intonations.

    @96 “Maybe because the shooter was shooting at WHITE Po-Po 5-O only worser; ya think? Somehow that small FACT is lost on worser.”

    Speaking of shilling, pretty sure this piece (page 39 of the following link)

    http://www.paradigmcg.com/digi.....038;server

    on El Gaucho is by a Goldy pseudonym. I see it all the time in the seat-back magazine promoted by Alaska Airlines.

    So Goldy retweets positively about El Gaucho, which is accused of underpaying its employees and advertises with Alaska Airlines, which is accused of underpaying its employees.

    Always follow the money. Oh, and look at the label on Goldy’s Monday doggie bag. It won’t likely be a union label.

  131. 131

    @113 This is an interesting question. Before he got into power, Hitler wrote a book, in which he laid out what he was going to do when he got into power. Then he got into power, and lo and behold, he did what he’d said he would do.

    Now, you can argue that Drumpf is such a big liar, that when he talks about throwing all the Mexicans out of the country and keeping all the Muslims from coming in, and all the other things he says he’ll do if he gets in power, he doesn’t mean it.

    However, based on the Hitler lesson, I would argue that just to be on the safe side we should assume he does mean it. That’s all I’m saying.

  133. 133

    @49 Here’s Boob yearning for the Third Reich’s low crime rate.

    R senile’s hero was Himmler. Remember all the comments R senile used to leave cheer leading Himmler?

  136. 136

    This may help Goldy @ 112. It’s from the DOL web site:

    Service Charges: A compulsory charge for service, for example, 15 percent of the bill, is not a tip. Such
    charges are part of the employer’s gross receipts. Sums distributed to employees from service charges
    cannot be counted as tips received, but may be used to satisfy the employer’s minimum wage and
    overtime obligations under the FLSA.     If an employee receives tips in addition to the compulsory service
    charge, those tips may be considered in determining whether the employee is a tipped employee and in
    the application of the tip credit.

    @124 You mean the judge can tell if the defendant is a democrat or republican when their attorney opens their mouth?

    So where is your test for the court?

    Or are you going to fall back on English Common Law and realize the court is supposed to be neutral and cannot take the fact one is a Republican or Democrat to determine guilt. We did that with Communists for a long time until the Supreme Court finally said that was wrong. Breaking certain rights and all that.

    The courts must treat all defendants and plaintiffs fairly no matter if they are Republicans or Democrats.
    Of course if the attorney didn’t give to the judges candidacy might cause the judge to give short shrift to that attorney. Things would never work that way in this progressive Eden or do they?

    @133 “Oh wait… Y’all don’t believe Puddy?”

    Naw, not this time. Himmler was no friend of mine. In fact, he was dead before I was born. I’m pretty sure he wouldn’t have been a friend of yours, either. You would’ve been his gas chamber feedstock. That race thing again. You’re not Aryan enough for him.

  144. 144

    @128 It does seem to say that before we invade a sovereign nation there needs to be an declaration of war by Congress. Has Congress defined where the battlefield is? Why was it wrong under Bush, and most of the anti war protesters went away once Obama got elected and haven’t shown back up since then even though the undeclared war continues.
    I know when your the world’s number one power you don’t have to behave like other nations.
    Of course what should we do if a certain leader of North Korea makes good on his threat to do something physical to the anti missile defense system of our ally South Korea.
    Taking action against North Korea would be totally justified and technically we are still at war with North Korea, but we just like invading a nuclear powered sovereign country we are not at war with just because we say the presence of Osama extended the battle ground. Awfully big of us. Seems awfully Roman (Empire period) of us.

  146. 146

    @144 As I recall Bush invaded Iraq with a congressional authorization. The controversy isn’t over the fine points of constitutional law, but rather whether the war was justified.

    Northwest Passage was the alternative newspaper he helped found back in the 1960s when I knew him. It no longer exists.

    @139 Did you mean his blog Northwest Citizen? I found that and he’s on there as an editor.

  151. 151

    @146 As I recall a lot of people against the draft objected to Vietnam as it was an illegal war because there was no declaration of war by congress. They also objected to the Congressional actions of Congress under Johnson and Nixon that were similar too Congress authorization of Bush’s war. There were even some constitutional challenges that never made it to the Supreme Court in part because of Watergate and in part because we pulled out before they could make it to the court.
    Which is part of the reason we have an all volunteer military. Makes it easier for Congress and the President to maintain a military action that maybe unconstitutional, and step around some opposition to war by stating our military is all volunteer, even though we maintain the potential to do a draft in case the ball goes up someplace in particular in Korea. The original no Declaration by Congress War. Just a police action here nothing for you folks to see just don’t count the body bags of your sons coming home folks everything is just fine.

  152. 152

    @137 Aha the Mine guns and the fuzzy they guns conundrum.

    I’m sure some Hatfield or McCoy said something similar. I think folks were mostly Democrats on both sides though. Not sure how that impacts your argument there RR.

    Someone said something once about throwing the first stone. Some wise man. Not sure if all the stories about him are true, but like Jefferson I agree he was a great and wise man. I think he would understand my point here.

  154. 154

    @149 He’s the owner and editor in chief. Long-time Bellingham citizen journalist, being doing it 50 years, well known among activists there. He exposed Port of Bellingham corruption some years ago.

  155. 155

    @150 Yep, I can see how a trafficker in sleaze like you would pick up a fairytale like that from a “disreputable” website like “Got News.” For more info about what Boob uses as “sources,” check out https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charles_C._Johnson

    At least you’re honest about which cesspool you went trolling in. I guess it’s not surprising, because you troll here too.

  156. 156

    @151 They mainly objected to getting killed in said war. After Nixon instituted the draft lottery and everyone knew what their odds of being drafted were the protests melted away.

    Just look into who’s talking about “civil war” and rounding up liberals, etc., and joining rump militias and buying up AR-15s, etc., and you’ll understand. It’s not Democrat vs. Democrat this time around.

    Wasn’t MSNBC that spilled the truth about Mike Brown – they were busy Gentle Gianting and uncomfortably right sites like thegatewaypundit got scoops that should have been obvious to the MSM, while the CNN chicks were all HandsUpDontShoot. Truth about John Edwards was known by MSM and spilled by Nat. Enq after others – Keep rockin’ – buried it rather than report it. If you want to hear really good summaries of the trials in Baltimore, check out legalinsurrection.com. They were spot-on with Trayvon Martin’s accused murderer and the trial as well.

    Too much info out there for MSM to sit on it. When they do, others will find it and put it out.

    Is Got News frequently disreputable? I think so. Nat. Enq. as well.

    Was Nat. Enq. spot-on about Edwards? I think so.

    Tell, me, Roger Dumbfuck Rabbit, which of the MSM sites is agitating for the Castile dashcam video to be released?
