Things in the news

I saw this article the other day and thought it was interesting.

Justine Damond's death is a tragedy – as every police killing in America is | Steven W Thrasher

I've been listening more closely since then and she is never called an immigrant or anything. Just an Australian woman.

 

Oh, you don't read the sites I do.
There is a shit load of "Black cop kills sweet, innocent white women!" headlines unless they are "Black Muslim Cop Shoots Unarmed White Woman!!!!!!!!"

 

And another one is gone, and another one is gone... Haha
This is the 3rd politician to resign this month because they suddenly realised they are dual citizens. Rats leaving a sinking ship?

Matt Canavan resigns from Malcolm Turnbull's ministry over citizenship doubts - ABC News (Australian Broadcasting Corporation)

It's just breaking now so there is no more info in the link yet. He's about to have a press conference

 

mainers up 3-1 in the 5th...????
xoxoxoo

 

The 5th amendment right against self-incrimination applies to all persons (cops, civilians, citizens, legal immigrants, illegal immigrants, etc.) in all interactions with law enforcement, the courts, congressional hearings, legislative panels, etc.

The only exception is if you are under a grant of immunity, then you must answer or can be held in contempt, as you cannot incriminate yourself in a criminal act when you've been granted immunity from prosecution for it.

 

I always like a bit of satire. I've pretty much quoted the entire article here. They are always so short
Nation Actually Impressed It Took Trump 200 Days To Tweet Nuclear Threat

 

I don't know if I should like this or be very, very sad.

 

Unfortunately this situation has raised its ugly head due to the previous administration's decision to stuff there head in the sand hoping it would go away. It didn't go away, and now We are left to deal with it.

You should sit back and enjoy it.
The Babylon Bee has some quality content from time to time and there ain't nothing we can do to influence Kim Jong-un or Trumps decisions at this point

 

Worried for friends in Barcelona and also Muslim friends around the world, as accusations and backlash have already started.
Another Fatal Ramming Attack, This Time in Barcelona

 

We know the area, having spent a week in a hotel on Ramblas a few years ago, terrible....WTF

 

Yeah, I know how you feel. My sister's favorite spot in the world is Barcelona and she travels there frequently to walk around and enjoy life. Am a bit worried since she's usually there in the summer, and currently waiting on her to respond to my message. Don't think she was there, but always better to make sure.

 

@Remixer sending good thoughts to you and yours and I very much hope your sister is safe and you hear from her soon.

 

I was reminded my Ms Daka, when we were there, twice in walking around Ramblas, all of a sudden shopkeepers would start pulling down the steel shutters, once a shopkeeper pulled us into a shop, there were small scale demonstrations going on...setting fire to trash cans etc...nothing major happened....
They said it happens now and then, but Never any serious stuff...What the Fuck is happening to our world?

 

This is happening in all the places I love to go, Paris, Barcelona, London.... what's the world coming to? I'll still go, no damn terrorist is going to scare me into avoiding anything, but we need to formulate a more effective response to these animals.

 

This is only my opinion of course but whether we're talking domestic terrorism such as that in Charlottsville this past week or terrorism abroad such as that in Barcelona today we need to get past our differences and find some common ground with our fellow humans, most of whom are not extremists nor terrorists.

 

Are there any Juggalos in here? Will anyone be attending the Million Juggalo March in Washington?
Would anyone care if the pro trump people hadn't made the mistake of putting their march on the same day? Haha

Socialist Juggalos gear up to fight pro-Trump 'Nazis,' and the internet is loving it

16 of September people. Save the date

 

I have to admit that I find this deeply amusing.
Never considered the Juggalos socialist, more anarchist if anything.
They do have a valid complaint about being classified as a gang by the Feds which is what the march was originally about.
Watching them square off against 45s supporters will be so much fun.

 

Agreed, but until we can get past identity politics it'll just get worse.
