James Dobson Is Dead, Was A Monster | Defector James Dobson was a nasty dude. He liked to beat children and dogs with a belt and to rain misery and punishment on the vulnerable; we know all of this about him because he said as much in public, repe...

"The world is a much worse place as a result of his life's work; it would be a better place had he never been born. If he did not want people to rejoice at his death, maybe he should not have spent an entire lifetime working for and justifying their pain and suffering." defector.com/james-dobson...

BCS is not a Heisenberg show. Jimmy McGill is so much deeper a character than Walter White. Walter is a minor character, at best, in BCS.

It's good that James Dobson is dead and let's use the occasion to say that it's bad to beat children, because he is one of the main reasons we have to say explicitly that it's bad to beat children

Of course they didn't bother with the alt text, because they don't want to be inclusive of people with disabilities either.

The Constitution does not tolerate willful disobedience of judicial orders β€” especially by
officials of a coordinate branch who have sworn an oath to uphold it. To permit such officials to
freely "annul the judgments of the courts of the United States" would not just "destroy the rights acquired under those judgments"; it would make "a solemn mockery" of "the constitution itself."
