Trump’s transition team, meanwhile, reached an agreement with the Justice Department to proceed with background checks for other administration appointments.

That's such a "coincidence" I heard Mero say "allegedly" in my head.

And I hope he proves me wrong and there isn't a single vacancy when he hands the keys over...

But I'm certainly not expecting it.

Yeah, but think of all the donations he brings into the party!

With things like cops, you have to remember that if no one with morals goes into it, it'll keep getting worse.

I have a lot of family that are in some kind of law enforcement, and a couple friends from college that went into it as well.

If you cut them off because they're cops, then the only people who associate with them are assholes and it concentrates.

Just be upfront about it.

Couple months ago I ran into a friend of a friend from college who's a cop. The first and last things I said to him was dont be a fucking asshole. Other than that I treated him the same as if he wasn't a cop.

If we cut that dude out of our lives, the only people he'd talk to would tell him to be more of an asshole.

Like, obviously if he's doing shady shit, then fuck him.

Clickbait from the guy who also claimed the US dollar would collapse in 2011 and the Mayan apocalypse would cause a pole reversal in 2012...

Before you get excited the "young blood" replacements are: 72, 62, 60, and a long shot at 52.

It's fucking insane that a 72 is saying the incumbent is too old and we need fresh leadership skills of a 72 year old

That line of thinking alone should disqualify Costa from the position

I thought Modi’s policies were generally bad for the populace at large

But it gets worse the further down the ladder you go.

trump will be bad for his white voters, but he'll treat the people they view as below them even worse

Some people compare themselves to others to judge their worth, so they'll settle for less if others get nothing.

Still 42 open seats that Biden is giving trump, but McTurtle over here losing his shit over two that aren't empty yet...

Republicans are fucking terrible, but at least their politicians fight.

Meanwhile we just went with Schumer again despite him doing a complete shit job at it.

Enforce, but use context.

So you want "selective enforcement"? That's what we have now, is your problem a rich and politically connected person was select d instead of a poor minority? Because they're still be selected for enforcement, and their daddy's can't pardon them...

Crack, not coke. There's a legal distinction.

Biden's own 1994 Crime bill made a distinction with drastically higher minimum sentences for crack compared to coke.

Or is this also where you think being white, rich, and politically connected over rides that too?

Your problem isn't with the failures of the justice system, just that it's hurting the wrong people.

But somehow Modi has a high approval rating,

Because 50%+ of India that votes benefits from it...

I think we're just using different definitions of "hold things together"

You’re also saying no pot smokers should own a gun, even if it’s legal in their jurisdiction.

Nope.

I clearly said:

The solution is fixing our gun laws, not telling everyone they don’t matter because we never enforce them.

What wasn't clear about that to you?

From what I've heard about Modi it's pretty much the opposite...

It's not a unified system where everyone gets along, it's a rigid caste system (I think technically outlawed but not enforced) where people with power are ok with it because they're not on the bottom, and the people on the bottom don't have enough power to change anything.

There's a reasons Modi's friends are trump, putin, and kim.
