Self-defense is not killing someone who was filming your actions
Self-defense is not firing multiple rounds
Self-defense is not one person in a gang firing at a single individual, whom they have surrounded
Self-defense is not firing at someone already on the ground when you are standing over him

Meaning no disrespect toward the disgust and outrage at the media's description of her family, isn't the fact of Renee's death more outrageous? I hope you all are expressing that somewhere.

Not if we do our jobs, it won’t. We need to make sure people are aware of the change, and we need to urge everyone to vote as early a possible in their states.

Barring that, we’re going to have to be willing to stand in line to vote on Election Day - we have a nation to save.

So which is it - bronze (not likely) or brass? They are different alloys.

Odd, how MAGA couldn't draw enough attention to imaginary children being molested in #Pizzagate, but when it comes to *real* children being molested in #Epsteingate, they desperately want our attention to be elsewhere.

Inflation is so bad these days that taking a $50,000 cash bribe can't even get you indicted. SAD!! Thank you for your attention to this matter.

I would love to be part of the conversation on MSNBC related to the Kimmel story and it's chilling effects on first amendment, but unfortunately I was terminated by MSNBC for stating that "hateful thoughts lead to hateful words which lead to hateful actions".

"Top US officials joined thousands of mourners in Arizona on Sunday for a memorial honoring the late right-wing activist Charlie Kirk. President Donald Trump was set to headline the event...."

HEADLINE THE EVENT? REALLY? My head is exploding.

The Justice Department is compiling the largest set of national voter roll data it has ever collected. They claim their goal is to prove that β€œtroves of undocumented immigrants have voted illegally.” That’s not the real objective.
