I lived in New York city for years. Donald Trump was shunned as a low-life con- man

@applemcg Nope. The idea is to take money away from police and give it to other social services. So the police don't have it anymore. Defund. It also drastically reduces the types of things we call the police for, because there would be other more appropriate services to use for stuff like mental illness, wellness checks or traffic stops. We'd only use the police if you need thugs with guns to fight bad guys.

What was so hard about arresting the officer that murdered Floyd and the officers that allowed it to happen. It was filmed there were witnesses. We saw him take his last breath. The bystander: Check his pulse! Check his pulse! the cop: Don't do drugs?! Now your city in a riot. Your police station is burning down. The National Guard called. Your president giving them the okay to shoot citizens. All because you did not ARREST THOSE COPS!

Personally I'm fucking disgusted. Has America been consumed by Trump so much that police or military units opening fire on civilians is acceptable?
Think Kent State.
This is NOT America.

Set aside Trumps reactionary 'Executive Order' against Social Media today which will fail, he's set himself up AGAIN for another HUGE fail. Any death, be it looter, cop, or National Guardsman, TRUMP set it up. AGAIN with his stupid lame reactionary tweets.

Ah, bringing the brilliance of payday loans to social security. True innovation going on right here:
Senior White House economic officials are studying a plan by researchers at AEI and Hoover that would allow Americans to get cash immediately im exchange for curbing their Social Security benefits, 2 ppl tell me

Article indicates this is unlikely to go forward, but considering we have a SPACE FORCE now, I'm not going to take that bet.

I'm waiting for the next batch of password rules to include things like "one Cyrillic character, at least one upper and one lower case number, a 17 or more stroke kanji, a triple helix DNA model, and the atomic weight of your favorite element."
@sentientdessert ...but not your *favorite* element because somebody might be able to guess that.

A little Render story...
1968 DC riots. My parents had a 2 room ground floor apartment in the near suburbs. My grandfather owned a furniture store in NE DC.
The rioters looted and burned the furniture store.
The Klan marched around the apartment complex in their sheets, burning crosses in the open green spaces. Until they got to the open space in front of my parents apartment. Where my dad and uncle were sitting on the porch with their M-1 Garand rifles...
