“President Trump on Friday said that law enforcement in the U.S. deserve a greater level of respect and gratitude than they currently receive. Speaking at the FBI National Academy graduation ceremony, he also said that criminals who kill police should receive the death penalty.”
https://www.cbsnews.com/news/trump-says-police-deserve-a-greater-level-of-respect-gratitude/
Roger Rabbit Commentary: I don’t think police are under appreciated as Trump claims. Generally, they are supported and respected in their communities, at least those I’m familiar with. In big cities, at least, they have better pay and benefits than most workers get.
But we have to do something about bad cops, rogue cops, bully cops, racist cops, killer cops. If Trump is saying he supports cops all the time, no matter what they do, he’s enabling this bad behavior.
He says cop killers should be executed. That’s the status quo; virtually all death penalty states have laws prioritizing application of the penalty to cop killers.
The problem is he said nothing about killer cops. What should happen to trigger-happy cops who kill innocent citizens? For example, Philando Castile’s killer? Justine Damond’s killer? Usually they walk free, and often keep their jobs. That’s wrong, needs to be addressed, and none of us will be safe until it is; but Trump said nothing about that issue. By his silence, he implicitly approves of these murders.
More evidence that the #MeToo movement is a force not even Republicans can resist:
“A top aide to Republican Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton resigned Thursday after reports surfaced of him disparaging the stories of sexually harassed women as ‘pathetic’ on Facebook.”
https://www.cbsnews.com/news/andrew-leonie-resigns-after-post-disparaging-pathetic-women-texas/
“Interior Secretary Ryan Zinke announced that he has removed four senior leaders for inappropriate behavior — and he’s ready to oust others if he has to.”
Zinke, of course, couldn’t resist this: “He blamed the prior administration” without, of course, mentioning the fact his boss is the bragger-in-chief about pussygrabbing.
https://www.cbsnews.com/news/interior-secretary-ryan-zinke-removes-four-senior-leaders-for-inappropriate-behavior/
Too bad Zinke can’t fire his boss. But Congress can. Congress should do its job, instead of taxing the middle class to line the pockets of Kochs, Mercers, and a fat ugly sexual predator named Trump.
If overturning net neutrality is such a good idea, why does Trump’s FCC boss have to run an ad defending it?
And if he’s going to run an ad defending it, how does he defend stealing copyrighted music to promote something the copyright owner opposes?

There can be only one reason to grant a lifetime appointment to someone so utterly unqualified.
Is Trump stupid and guilty enough to fire Mueller? My guess is yes. In which case, he’s probably stupid and guilty enough to pardon Flynn, too, which would look an awful lot like an attempt to silence a witness (though in Flynn’s case, the cat’s already out of the bag on that score).

WASHINGTON (CNN) – A staff member for Sen. Maria Cantwell has been arrested on charges he tried to arrange to have sex with a 13-year-old boy.
James Michael McHaney, 28, was arrested by federal agents Friday in the lobby of a building where they say he thought he would meet a witness cooperating with authorities and have sex with the boy, according to court documents.

You’re a unique kind of moron, Roger Dumbfuck Rabbit.
8,
Whatever his biases may be, he’s unlikely to have any effect on the law. As unprepared as he is, his initial rulings will be open season for appeal. And on a court like the DDC, he’s probably not going to be hearing cases of great federal import.
But really, here’s the thing: even if somebody agrees with these limited-in-scope ideological biases, the impact of placing some incompetent, drooling, seat warmer on such a court extends way, way beyond those issues.
We know exactly how this plays out. This turd never, ever rises above the DDC. After a couple of decades of humiliating education at the hands of far more qualified clerks and litigants, having been passed over for higher appointment dozens of times, he becomes an arrogant, lazy, disgruntled, pernicious prick of a judge who delights in the torment of those who must come before him.
Lawyers and their clients who will have spent years and huge sums of money preparing, who may have their lives, reputations, and dreams at stake, again and again will have to deal with his mistakes, delays, oversights, and omissions. His fellow judges will come to loathe him as much for his lack of productivity as for his incompetence. By the time he reaches his seventies they’ll regard his light calendar as a blessing to justice. And everyone who comes before him will suffer equally regardless of bias or ideology.
@ 6, 13
He’s getting hammered on the right today, as well.
Grassley, earlier this week, told Trump to pull two other nominations. After this debacle, and at the hands of a GOP senator, I suspect that this guy will remove his name from consideration as well.
Lack of experience on the part of an aspirant to a better job has come up previously, it seems.
“I think that I have a lifetime of experience that I will bring to the White House. Sen. John McCain has a lifetime of experience that he’d bring to the White House. And Sen. Obama has a speech he gave in 2002.”
Someone said that, once.
@11 What’s wrong with being unemployed? Isn’t that every worker’s ambition? Why should anyone work in an economy where the workers get all the work and the bosses and investors get all the money? All your role models are unemployed. Trump, the Republicans in Congress, the billionaires they suck up to — they’re all coupon clippers. For that matter, you are too.
@12 “pedophilia is an urge that Democrats can’t resist”
I’ll bet if he runs for U.S. Senate next year he won’t get several hundred thousand votes like Roy Moore did. Voting for known pedophiles is a Republican thing.
“You’re a unique kind of moron, Roger Dumbfuck Rabbit.”
Not really. I argue with you only for sport. I don’t expect it to be productive.
The cops won’t stop being trigger happy until they suffer from their actions financially. Instead of insurance policies and public funds being used solely to pay the inevitable judgements against police violence, the individual cops involved should suffer financially. There will be a “come to Jesus” epiphany on the part of cops if THEIR retirement pensions are used pay judgements instead of the municipalities for whom the cops they work. Having little financial skin in the game might be just what it takes to have the cops behave better.
@13 “he becomes an arrogant, lazy, disgruntled, pernicious prick of a judge who delights in the torment of those who must come before him”
Actually, such judges can be useful, if their docket consists of sentencing people who steal cars and identities.
Always follow the money.
Exclusive: Prominent lawyer sought donor cash for two Trump accusers
A well-known women’s rights lawyer sought to arrange compensation from donors and tabloid media outlets for women who made or considered making sexual misconduct allegations against Donald Trump during the final months of the 2016 presidential race, according to documents and interviews.
…
The women’s accounts were chronicled in contemporaneous contractual documents, emails and text messages reviewed by The Hill, including an exchange of texts between one woman and Bloom that suggested political action committees supporting Hillary Clinton were contacted during the effort.
http://thehill.com/homenews/ad.....p-accusers
So good luck with all this.
Let’s think of abortion as a financial tool to avoid poverty. Republicans are all about finances, yet they ignore how abortion is a way of poorer women and girls to avoid a life of poverty. If young women had children after they established the financial structure to support those children, there’d be a lot less people who need help from charities and the government.
As I’ve said before, we need MORE abortions, particularly for poorer women and girls, not less abortions. Having a kid out of wedlock without the proper financial footing is tantamount to volunteering for a life of poverty and destitution. Let’s get abortions rolling along, emphasize birth control and have the morning after pill as an over-the-counter medicine available to any who want to buy it.
@14 Obama, presented with the worst economic crisis since the 1930s and two stalled wars, did pretty well for a rookie.
Your guy, not so much.
Lisa Bloom offered as much as $750,000 in a failed effort to get a woman to make an allegation against Trump.
It wasn’t enough.
@17 There’s nothing like a prospective lengthy prison sentence to make an impulsive cop think twice about jerking the trigger.
@19 That trail was blazed by Paula Jones, Kathleen Willey, and Kathy Shelton.
@22 “Bloom said her goal in securing money was … to help them relocate or arrange security if they felt unsafe during the waning days of a vitriolic election.”

Kansas Dem Andrea Ramsey, accused of sexual harassment, will drop out of US House race
Before he rejected her advances, Ramsey “repeatedly told me she heard great things from others about my performance,” Funkhouser wrote. “After I rejected her, she told me she now was hearing bad things about my performance and on June 13, 2005, terminated my employment.”
The EEOC closed its file on Funkhouser’s charges of discrimination and retaliation in October 2005, noting that an investigation was unable to conclude whether any statutes had been violated. The document did not certify that LabOne was in compliance with employment law, however, and informed Funkhouser that he had a right to sue the company.

We aren’t going to. That ship sailed right about the time, despite the worst midterm performance in 64 years by a party not holding the presidency, you fuckers gleefully danced around Newt Gingrich’s Bonfire of the Vanities and impeached an overwhelmingly popular Dem President who balanced the budget and repealed welfare.

It’ll be interesting to see just how cheaply these two posers sold their votes and sold out their constituents. My guess is they’re $25 whores.

Gov. Sam Brownback isn’t responsible for his brother’s actions. Of course he isn’t. But sometimes assholery runs in families.
“Farmer Jim Brownback, brother to Sam, the governor of Kansas, has a long history of bullying and terrorizing his neighbors in the small town of Parker, Kan. It’s chronicled in an eyepopping, if voluminous, report by Tim Carpenter of the Topeka Capital-Journal.
“Folks can read for themselves the litany of accusations against Gov. Sam Brownback’s 56-year-old younger brother and some of his family members. They include drive-by shootings, death threats, detonating explosives on his property, slaying a neighbor’s dog, stealing a neighbor’s cattle, vandalizing adjacent property, hit-and-run driving and killing a fawn outside of hunting season and leaving it gutted in a neighbor’s driveway. …
“Has Jim Brownback’s connection to the governor protected him from prosecution? Or is local law enforcement just scared of him? Neighbors say he brags that the former is the case, with remarks like ‘no one can touch me.'”

Tax bill final version:
Eliminates ACA individual mandate
21% corporate tax rate
AMT retained for individuals, eliminated for corporations
Retains 7 individual tax brackets with changes
Tuition waiver exemption unchanged
Child tax credit increased to $2000, with $1400 refundable
Standard deduction of $12,000/$24,000
Preserves child adoption tax credit
SALT deduction of one tax (sales, income, or property) up to $10k
No change to deduction for existing mortgages, $750,000 limit for new mortgages
Not change to charitable deduction
Another source says the SALT deduction is property tax plus choice of income or sales tax with $10k limit.
And Republicans didn’t say this afternoon how the changes will be paid for, but one possibility is to sunset the individual tax cuts sooner, presumably to help pay for the change of the top rate from 39.6% to 37% so the rich can enjoy even more of their cash flow.

Businesses that provide their employees with $20 per month to cover the expense of commuting by bicycle would also no longer be able to write off the benefit under the tax bill. Without that incentive, the relatively few employers offering the benefit may discontinue it, said Ken McLeod, policy director for the League of American Bicyclists.

What bothers bicyclists the most, McLeod said, isn’t so much the money, but “just that it feels like the federal government doesn’t support biking.

Yeah, and I thought a flip might possibly happen with Manchin.
There has been much speculation that Collins could switch her affiliation to independent and choose to caucus with the Democrats. That might sound crazy, but it’s not, if she begins to feel too alienated by the Trump wing of the party.

11/3/17: “Sen. Bob Corker of Tennessee has flatly declared that he would reject a tax bill if it added even a cent to the deficit.”

12/1/17: “Sen. Bob Corker … had been among the strongest critics warning the $1.5 trillion plan would add to the deficit …. ‘I wanted to get to yes,’ he said …. ‘But at the end of the day, I am not able to cast aside my fiscal concerns and vote for legislation that … could deepen the debt burden on future generations.'”

12/15/17: “The final Republican tax bill would expand budget deficits by more than $1.4 trillion over a decade, according to a ‘very preliminary’ analysis by the congressional scorekeeper Joint Committee on Taxation.”

12/15/17: “Senator Bob Corker … said he would support the legislation … despite its cost. The congressional Joint Committee on Taxation analysis showed the Senate plan would add $1 trillion to the federal budget deficit.”

Roger Rabbit Commentary: Obviously, he didn’t refuse any increase in the deficit. He didn’t refuse a penny of it. But perhaps he’ll bite his lip and swallow hard when he votes for the whole increase?
The Republican Party will never, ever again have any credibility on the subject of deficits.
Of course. Anything less would have been the surprise.
“Donald Trump Jr. likes Mike Cernovich tweet claiming pedophilia isn’t a crime”

By now it should go without saying, but never, ever leave a child or a farm animal alone with a Republican.
@92 Next they’ll tweet that obstruction of justice isn’t a crime, either. After all, Trump has already announced that the FBI isn’t a real law enforcement agency.
@84 Interesting. I wonder if she’ll flip after Ryan and McConnell make her look like a sucker to her constituents?
