Speaking of assholes with really REALLY bad ideas:

"Now, if you had one really violent day… One rough hour, and I mean real rough, and the word will get out and it will end immediately. End immediately."

Let the cops murder who they want, rape who they want, the word will get out and we will have no crime.

One problem with that:

THE COPS ALREADY DO THAT!

From Sen. Bernie Sanders newsletter: #M4A

'This week I'll be campaigning in TX NV & MI to do everything I can to see Donald Trump is defeated & Kamala Harris becomes our next president. While I’m on the campaign trail I'll be talking about an issue getting far too little discussion. The need to transform our current health care system — which is broken, dysfunctional & cruel — & join the rest of the industrialized world guaranteeing health care to all as a human right."

(BTW, Bernie is 83)!

#dogs
I often wonder, if the roles were reversed, and dogs were the ones with the thumbs and big brains and humans didn't, would humans be as good friends to them as dogs are to us?
