Obama also said standing up to discrimination should be a bipartisan effort, adding "How hard can that be, saying that Nazis are bad?" [More]Not hard at all.
You just have to be willing to see through the projection and the lies.

It's Easy as Pie
You just have to be willing to see through the projection and the lies.
The Hateful Eight
How eight elite San Francisco families funded Gavin Newsom’s political ascent [More]I wonder if any of them plan on going to New Zealand?
Someone is Mistaking This for an Honest Debate
Hogg and the rest of the anti-gun crowd need to waste less time fighting manufactured enemies and spend more time actually confronting hard questions head-on. [More]Why? They don't have to care about facts or rational arguments when what they're doing works so well with the useful idiots that follow them, the media that agrees with them and the politicians feeding off it all.

We're the Only Ones Unable and Unwilling Enough
Noor was flagged by two psychiatrists during the pre-hiring evaluation in early 2015 after he exhibited an inability to handle the stress of regular police work and unwillingness to deal with people, according to the records. [More]Perhaps, but think of what a great PR opportunity for being praised as virtuous and inclusive his hiring gave us!

And Who Made the Mess?
NRA Launches Ad Campaign Against West Virginia Democrat Joe Manchin [More]And who went all out to help him get power in the first place?

A Questionable Commitment
A Boston police captain's son, who authorities called a "committed soldier" of the Islamic State group, was sentenced to 20 years in prison on Wednesday for plotting to use assault rifles and homemade bombs to kill Americans on a college campus. [More]So after 20 years, they're sure we'll be able to trust someone this violently aberrant without a custodian?

UPDATE: I didn't realize he was also an Opposite Day "progressive" peace activist!

We're the Only Ones Spilling the Beans Enough
“Without the law enforcement body cameras recording video and audio,” Kuckelman said, “it might not have been possible to bring criminal or even civil charges against Brewer. It’s as simple as that. This shooting was unjustified, and the body cameras show why.” The sheriff’s office acted “recklessly and callously, and they tried to cover up what happened,” the release said. [More]Sounds like the victim was full of beans.

Hooray for Hollywood
TV Writer Hopes Kavanaugh Daughters ‘Go to School Without Being Shot’ [More]How clever our self-appointed moral superiors think they are -- especially when they're fantasizing about the duly-elected President of the United States having a heart attack.
And as we know, Trump is but an avatar.

We're the Only Ones Neighborly Enough
Dallas officer enters apartment she mistakes for her own, fatally shoots man inside [More]At least she made it to someone's home safely at the end of her shift.
I guess there's no need to bother the public with trivial details -- like "the officer's" name or anything else about her.

Gatekeeper
The company said Jones won’t be able to create new accounts on Twitter or take over any existing ones. In a tweet, it said it would continue to monitor reports about other accounts potentially associated with Jones or Infowars, and will “take action” if it finds any attempts to circumvent the ban. [More]Who rang that bell???
Coming Soon to a Political Rally Near You
Brazil's far-right presidential candidate survives life-saving surgery after being stabbed by 'socialist' attacker who said he was acting on 'a mission from God' during rally [More]I guess that's one way to enable a "Blue Wave."
The foot soldiers are out there, you know.
Frozen Out
"What does it say about our country and politics when a man at the show tonight felt the need to protest Disney’s Frozen on Broadway with a pro-Trump flag??" [More]Yeah, where does he think he is for such a rude and childish display? A Senate confirmation hearing?
And we all know Disney's Frozen is no place to promote a political agenda.
I mean, we're talking Disney here...
Predators
Twentieth Century Fox pulls scene from 'The Predator' after director Shane Black casts his friend, a registered sex offender [More]So when the studio boss ordered it edited out, did he yell "Get to the choppah"?
The LA Times article reeks of justification, does it not? Give it a few years and anyone daring to criticize a "Minor Attracted Person" will be deemed a "hater," and be subjected to virtual ostracism and employment exile.
Besides, aren't "caring adults" guiding and initiating confused but curious young people at the core of #MarchForOurlives?
We're the Only Ones Judging by the Content of Their Character Enough
IBM collaborated with the NYPD on an AI system that can search for people by race [More]Isn't that what prevailing sentiment would deem racist? Fear not:
...officers were instructed to exclude skin tone from searches.That's "progressive" and political!
I guess withholding a complete description is somehow in the interests of public safety?
Kind of like what the media does as standard industry practice?
Mens Rea
Accomplice liability makes someone guilty of a crime he never committed, so long as he helped or influenced the perpetrator and did so with the required mens rea. [More]So that would include “principals” who “induce” or “willfully cause” offenses?
