Don't insult Ian McDiarmid like that.
Yeah, that tracks.
Until they kill a beloved celebrity, there will be insufficient outrage to force change. And even then, it might not matter beyond the specific cops that did it.
Having grown up in a redneck community, I'm quite confident Trump supporters can at least make a functional pipe bomb.
Matches their smooth brains.
Goes back before Reagan, even. Look at Nixon. His pardon from Ford started the trend that the president was above the law.
The leader of each house is Republican, and they control what comes up for a vote. He can encourage all he wants, he has no say in the matter.
I mean, what's he supposed to do right now? Republicans still control both houses of congress (or, at least, hold enough seats to render both houses impotent). The upcoming congressional elections matter as much as (or potentially more than) the presidential election.
Yeah. I'm tired of embarrassment every time I see my state mentioned in a news headline.
Well that is scary.
While I agree, let's not pretend that presidents haven't been launching combat missions without formal declaration of war for decades. Longer than I've been alive. It's one of the biggest expansions of executive power we have allowed, under the guise of "the war on terror", "the cold war", or even "the war on drugs".
