Milwaukee gets to keep Sheriff Clarke.

I think it's the typical Boomer sociopathy that allows them to believe everything that happens to them, personally, is happening for the first time ever and is the greatest/worstest thing to ever happen.

 

This whole trope of Fucko as hero of the working class just slays me.

The middle and lower classes in this country have been screwed and shafted over and over again for decades on end. The economy has been trashed and millions of jobs destroyed.

And who did it? Arrogant, obnoxious, overbearing, abrasive, bombastic egotistical silver-spoon pampered privileged billionaires, shitting into diamond crusted diapers since the day they were born.

So who do you elect to change all that? The most arrogant obnoxious silver spoon diaper-shitter of them all.

It takes a truly monumental level of stupid.

 

I don't disagree, but I'm 32 and I find myself thinking the same thing about my experiences. We now look at history as if it were a new update to our IPhone and there must be new features to whatever's been introduced.

 

Disband the RNC! No one this cavalier with data can be allowed near the levers of power.

I would love to know the real story here, but I suspect we'll never find out. At least the right result. Take your chest full of make-believe medals and GTFO.

 

I thought that was a Millennial thing ...

 

“Sheriff Clarke is 100 percent committed to the success of President Trump, and believes his skills could be better utilized to promote the president’s agenda in a more aggressive role,”

I'm guessing that means "Hopes to get a high-paying gig on the speaking circuit and/or paid contributor to various media outlets."

 

Oh for those halcyon days of the 1950s ...

 

I thought it was an every generation thing.

 

You raise an interesting point ...

 

Here's another story that will fly under the radar. Supreme Court to decide on the constitutionality of partisan gerrymandering. Seems like there are three camps: One that it's permissible; one that it's not, but how do you define unconstitutional; and a third camp that it is unconstitutional and you can set guidelines.

Hate this standard offered by plaintiffs using a formula developed by a law professor and an attorney.

"The Wisconsin voters who sued to challenge the Assembly map argued that gaps over 7 percent violate the Constitution."
