A father says he thought a thief was stealing his truck, so he shot and killed the driver . . . who turned out to be his son.

Ever seen a two year old hold his sippee cup?

THIS is the mentality morality is up against.

How long did you go before your stomach dropped?
Is Mueller next?
Since Democratic leaders were so quick to reward Republicans for their Al Franken hit job, will they again fold when Republicans call for Muellers ouster?
This Washington Post article exposes a Republican orchestrated attack on Mueller - a Republican! - while Democrats seem deaf and blind as to what is in the works.

This just in! FoxNews to become FoxPutin!
In a stunning show of transparency, FoxNews will embrace fact and change its name to FoxPutin! (Caveat: While multiple sources confirm the collaboration, it is unclear whether the name will be FoxPutin! or PutinFox!)
The sad truth is that there was nothing masterful about Russia's manipulation of the US public during the 2016 election cycle. Russia simply adopted and amplified the methods employed by FoxNews, Limbaugh, Ted Cruz, Breitbart and the rest of their ilk: Embrace racism, sexism, populism . . . . amplify, inflame, rinse, repeat.
Huffington Post has a story which shows some of Russia's Facebook ads: https://www.huffingtonpost.com/entry/russian-facebook-ads-examples-election_us_59fa16d1e4b01b474047d7a5?ncid=inblnkushpmg00000009 If the article hadn't made clear that the ads were from Russia, I would have bet good money that at least half of them were from FoxNews.
Frankly, I'm more concerned about he integrity of our "ballot boxes" and the erosion of the Voting Rights Act, but it will be difficult, if not impossible, to put those fires out without addressing the fact that Fox, Trump and many-a red state are willing to sell America out to Russia if the trade-off is a renewal of Jim Crow.
24 days ago.
At this rate it appears that by Oct. 31st most of America will have completely moved on from the October 1st mass shooting in Las Vegas.
While I appreciate that entertainment news is no longer cycling misinformed and uninformed segments, it seems certifiably insane that we have moved on before peak Halloween sales.
I get it, I think. If Sandy Hook didnt move us to act, how can Las Vegas?
Still, though, have we really accepted this as our reality?

Sorry for the link to the Federalist, but that's the site of the main article.

Apparently this guy didn't get the memo about Russian Mail Order Brides.
One of my favorite quotes from the comments section: "Just because he walks around in a read hat and a t-shirt saying "Fuck your feelings" yelling "go back to your own country" to random people on the street, doesn't mean he can't be a nice person!"
Masked Protesters
Aside from the fact that it's too easy for a Trumpbot or klansman to put on an AntiFa mask, I have no interest whatsoever in protesting beside masked protestors, and my presumption is that when masked people engage in rioting during otherwise peaceful protests, their goal is to intentionally harm the underlying cause.
From CNN: Antifa have become more active in making themselves known at public rallies and within the progressive movement, said Brian Levin, director of the Center for the Study of Hate and Extremism at California State University, San Bernardino. "What they're trying to do now is not only become prominent through violence at these high-profile rallies, but also to reach out through small meetings and through social networking to cultivate disenfranchised progressives who heretofore were peaceful," Levin said. http://www.cnn.com/2017/08/14/us/what-is-antifa-trnd/index.html
Here is an interesting post on why anarchists wear masks. https://www.anarchistaction.net/info-for-action/why-wear-a-mask/ It helped me to understand, somewhat, their reasoning, but it didn't change my position.
Both groups leaving me thinking "Get your own f*cking protest!"
In short, it was always about loyalty to Trump and his Nazi agenda.
Steve Bannon, President Donald Trumps former chief strategist and campaign chairman, ensured that New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie (R) would never obtain a cabinet position in the White House after the governor allegedly showed insufficient loyalty to Trump in the wake of Access Hollywood 2016 tape leak.

Christie didn't heed Omarosa Manigault's warning when she said Every critic, every detractor, will have to bow down to President Trump, she said. "Its everyone whos ever doubted Donald, who ever disagreed, who ever challenged him. It is the ultimate revenge to become the most powerful man in the universe.
Bannon, Manigault and Trump are disgraces to the human race.
