This makes me want to start wearing make up, and to choose make up that's several shades darker than my skin tone.

I don't know why. It's some kind of a calling.

I'm guess I'm not of little intelligence since I feel a bit insulted by this. :)

She can only try to. I think she ends up insulting her own intelligence.

Glad he doesn't think white people are the (only) representatives of this country. But so sad he confuses happy, peaceful people holding homemade signs as they protested with friends and neighbors with being whacked out. Understandable, considering the people he has around him.

Springfield, Ohio - about 1500 people (up from about 400 in June No King protest). Hat says Quaker Witness, sign says Quakers for Peace and Social Justice.

We need all the help and support with this we can get.
That's my American blood speaking but my Canadian blood agrees.

About the only color I do not have in my wardrobe is yellow. I'm not going to go out and buy something yellow so I'll feel part of the protest.

I knitted tons of pink hats in my time but I don't even have yellow yarn.

They'll have to take me as is.

How lies become the truth - when nobody calls him out on his lies, nobody challenges him.

and evidently nobody challenges him by asking him for details, or saying he's wrong (lying).

She didn't even ask them to show it - she asked if they had one. She was arrested for asking that question.

ICE agents arrest Alderperson Jessie L. Fuentes (26th Ward of Chicago city council) after she questions them on whether they have a signed judicial warrant to arrest a person at Humboldt Park Hospital.

β€œHe has Constitutional rights.”

β€œNo.”

ICE’s exact mindset: no one is allowed any rights now.

A handful. Also some people of color. I figure ICE is waiting in the hallway to take them away.

Yes, worth watching, for the thunderous applause (lack thereof).

Looking at the handful of women and people of color who are here - can only imagine what they're thinking. And wonder if they'll be fired before leaving. Maybe ICE can help pick them out of the crowd.

"They can use tried and true methods to" pauses " 'motivate' new recruits..." Makes me very uneasy for recruits of color, sounds like code for something else.

But then I'm one of the woke ones - we're able to hear things we're told aren't there, see things we're told weren't said.

Back to basics

And how can you restore something that wasn't there? What a way for CNBC to phrase the question.

"Those officers were followed elected political leadership"

Um, yeah, you mean like you're ordering these officers to do.

except rates are going up, so they'll make it up. Capitalism's the name o' the game.

Has nothing to do with not submitting to the FCC/Trump!

I canceled my subscription - it's effective Oct 1st. Just got an email saying that their rates are going up. They sure know how to lure us back, right?

(I'm not going back).

If they really want to be convincing, they'd carve "property of Β©AntiFa LTD." on their bullets. That'd prove something, wouldn't it?
