Bachelor and Mormon Wives fans are now finding out what sports fans have seen for years.
Consequences don’t happen from police reports, they happen from video.

If Silver announced today that he’s changing the MVP/All-NBA minimum from 65 to 62 (20 games missed max), would anyone object? Just admit you made the number too high and fix it on the fly. Cade missing out on All-NBA would be outrageous.

The SFA need to intervene and force Hibs and Celtic to stop celebrating after beating Rangers.
Their joy and laughter is not compatible with the Calvinist dreariness of the majority of our nation and needs to be stamped out immediately.

Thinking about the hockey moms that spent over a decade of their lives driving their sons to and from hockey practice and games just for their sons to grow up to become Olympic gold medalists who laugh at misogynist jokes at the expense of women

and idgaf but theres something inherently sinister to me about using a dead man’s children as props for photos just to turn around and celebrate with a man who is actively protecting pedophiles from prosecution but i dont think many people are ready for that conversation

The only minority that are genuinely ruining your life are billionaires.
Mr. Brightside 🇵🇸🇮🇪 retweeted
The Detroit-Windsor crossing handles over 25% of U.S.-Canada trade—and today that crossing is controlled by one billionaire family running a century-old bridge.
That billionaire calls Trump’s Commerce Secretary, and hours later Trump attacks the new publicly-owned Gordie Howe bridge and threatens to block it from opening?
It's corruption so flagrant it would be laughable if it weren't so damaging.
Trump is selling out Michigan jobs for the same elites he claims to fight, and Mike Rogers is cheering him on—calling it 'the right thing' to block a bridge built by thousands of union workers and owned by the people of Michigan.
If you didn't know who Rogers works for before, you do now.
He works for Trump, not Michigan. And he has no business in the Senate.

I’ve said this before but: If a plane hit turbulence and the pilot panicked, aimed the nose to the ground and crashed, no one would say “Well, you try flying a plane in turbulence.” They would say “That is a bad pilot. That’s not how pilots should handle things.”
Do you know that ICE agents aren’t robots? They are HUMANS. Humans who are men and women doing a job that can be a very scary job. A job that has and always will be necessary. When they are put in a terribly scary position and they are already on edge TERRIBLE things happen that didn’t need to. NO ONE should be happy when terrible things happen. It’s sad. Life doesn’t happen in a slow motion video frame by frame to judge what SHOULD have happened. It happens quick. Kick the bees nest and the bees come. I’m greatly sad about all of this.

They are setting it up so that an ICE agent gets murked, and they'll use that as pretext for declaring martial law. If a leftist doesn't do it, somebody pretending to be one will.

Sorry caleb williams, but it’ll take more than 4th quarter bullshit to win in January!
(Caleb williams opens his bag to reveal an even deeper hitherto undiscovered level of 4th quarter bullshit)

Any time that JD Vance says anything, remember: when he was confronted with the fact he was outright lying about immigrants eating dogs in Springfield, his response was that it’s perfectly fine to lie about something as long as it gets the media talking about it.
He’s a liar.

Anyway I don't expect to change anyone's mind. I just want to be on record somewhere saying that killing this woman — and then claiming to be the real victim, with the militarized might of the federal government behind you — is one of the most cowardly things I've ever seen.
Mr. Brightside 🇵🇸🇮🇪 retweeted
You would defend it if the cop straight up shot and killed them. There is literally nothing a cop could do that you would not reflexively defend.

I'm a former defense attorney and currently a civil liberties attorney with no political dog in this fight. I watched the video at least 10 times from different angles and at different speeds and waited to offer an opinion, which I still reserve the right to change if additional information changes the calculus.
It is very clear that the officers instigated the confrontation. The woman initially tried to wave them past her.
ICE officers have no authority to search a US citizen or arrest her (unless there's probable cause to believe she's harboring undocumented individuals, not a contention here). A woman surrounded by masked, armed men who have no law enforcement authority over her has every right to try to escape. Video shows her steering wheel is turned to the right, clearly an attempt to leave WITHOUT hitting anyone and steer clear of the officer standing towards the front of her car. That officer had time to step to the side, which is where he was when he shot her.
Even a real police officer would not have the right to shoot at her for trying to flee. This is well-established in the case law; deadly force may not be used simply to prevent someone from getting away. Given that the ICE officers had no law enforcement authority to begin with, AND the video footage shows she was trying to escape a perceived threat, not to kill anyone, the crime is all the more inexcusable.
I'm praying for the victim's family, especially her children. I'm also praying for all the conservatives who are so unprincipled and lost they're excusing this terrible crime, and gloating over a death that will leave three young children motherless, because of the victim's politics.
