  1. I think this is very Christian-like, actually.

  2. Desalination is imperfect, but what choice do you have?

  3. As many people have said: Look at Robert Kardashian's face as the verdict is read.

  4. Liable, not guilty (just to get the terms correct, because there is a significant difference between them). Obviously, I think that he committed the murders.

  5.  @joeydrumstix  There's no proof of that, nor even compelling evidence. It's not impossible, and it's a great story (conniving psychopath uses more-talented men to build a career, finds out that one of them, her husband, is having an affair with her bass player, and thus has them both killed), but it calls for a lot more supporting evidence than we've ever seen.

  6.  @glockdude5472  WTF does Harris have to do with anything?

  7. No, it does not get worse and worse by the day! There has been an uptick in violence during the pandemic, but in the big picture, the Great Crime Decline that began in the 90s is still with us.

  8. Most of the police fought bravely, but some did seem to collaborate with the attackers.

  9. It's not insanity as much as it's cruelty.

  10.  @holystromboli  Internet Tough Guy!

  11.  @Bidenfriend  Not this again. Most of the casualties in that civil unrest was the work of cops, vigilantes, and apolitical lumpen. In fact, some of it (a government building fire in MN) was done by "Boogaloo" provocateurs. There's a big difference between riots ("millions of businesses," please...) and an attempt to prevent certification of an election, lynch lawmakers, and create a constitutional crisis. It's all available, courtesy of the attackers themselves.

  12. Harm reduction works.

  16.  @glockdude5472  She spent most of her career filling CA's prison-industrial complex.

  17. Not for armed robbery, silly.

  18. No, cars do not burst into flames, let alone explode, at the rate they do in TV/movies. People have been horribly injured by well-meaning bystanders pulling them out of wrecked cars.

  19. I've only been there briefly, but I loved it. This situation is sad, but it's not impossible to rectify.

  20. Note that people make this partisan, while Mississippi is also losing people.

  21. The cop shot at someone. That's force, no?

  22. Do you have any evidence for this? Say what you want about her, but do you have any grounds to say that she thinks that society owes her everything, and that she "lives off of the government?"
    2
  23. Decades of neoliberal capitalism will do that. Some people saw this coming as early as the 1980s. The rich countries started doing to themselves what they did to the rest of the world for centuries.

  24. She calls him "homeless" earlier in the clip.

  25. A lot of these comments are mean-spirited.

  26. As with most things, the GOP would make it even worse. So yes, elect Greens, socialists of different flavors, etc.

  27.  @bryanb3352  Do you see what I mean? Also, more importantly, a party that outright denies climate change is incapable of dealing with this, obviously.

  28. Stop shouting.

  30. True, although deinstitutionalization began under Carter.

  31. Other state governments are known to ship them there.

  32. There are phages that destroy E. Coli. I'm not sure what the cost would be to deploy enough of those. Phage therapy is really interesting.

  51. True, but this isn't partisan. The lowest qualities-of-life in the country are in GOP-run areas. That's true in the country at large (see the Deep South), and within California (Bakersfield, Fresno). This teaches us that neoliberal capitalist imperialist parties (i.e. both of our major parties) are unable/unwilling to provide for humans' needs.

  54.  @thatperformer3879  Ok, and I myself am a gun owner, but keep in mind that the cops have killed those "good guys (why just guys?) with guns" when the cops show up to the scene of a shooting.

  55. I don't think that the word "dissenting" is being used properly here.

  56. Out of the frying pan, into the fire.

  57.  @colinthomas867  One has nothing to do with the other. This is a case of parasitic landowners and a compliant city building expensive housing for uber-yuppies at the expense of the working class.

  58.  @helenofirvine  The housing crisis is real.

  59.  @helenofirvine  Deinstitutionalization started in the 70s and was finalized under Reagan. We've seen the results ever since.

  84.  WHOOP ASS  They aren't exempt, and while I think that Newsom is talking about this sort of thing, Garcetti said today that his government will cut off the water and power to places hosting the big house parties happening lately.

  85.  Dant'e Stackz  Democratic politicians' pit bulls? You won't find much love for the Democrats, a neoliberal capitalist party, among anti-fascists and BLM activists.

  88. Don't exaggerate. Homicides have increased in the past couple of years, but places like Bakersfield and Fresno are much more dangerous.

  92. That's the sort of thing that the Nazis did.

  94. Not true. Some have been re-started, and others are being built, or already have.

  95. That's ignorant.

  96. No vaccines, but they did have inoculation, but sadly not for TB.

  100. There's a big gap between civil unrest and a coup attempt.

  101. While I would love to see the problem pushed onto the ruling classes (the capitalists who only build unaffordable housing, and the government that complies with that situation), I don't want to see people used as a weapon.

  102.  @robinpreese  Heche has some serious mental problems. She was clearly not in her right mind. I feel sorry for her, and of course the other people involved as well.

  109.  @williamd1709  You're making an assertion, one of many we've seen about a voter fraud conspiracy. So, I'm asking you to please back up your assertion with evidence from a reputable source.

  110.  @williamd1709  That movie is disparaged by most other conservatives, often rather vociferously. This includes people with intimate knowledge of the election. It's total nonsense, from a man known for decades as a crank. There's no evidence for any of these claims about a stolen election. Facts aren't subjective.
    1
  111.  @williamd1709  The CDC didn't do anything like that. You're now repeating multiple conspiracy theories, about topics besides the election, and you must get out of that pit.

  112.  @williamd1709  The US has no leftist government officials, other than perhaps Kshama Sawant. No, I say that you're spouting conspiracy theories because that's what you're doing. You're entitled to your own opinions, but not your own facts. No one is.
