He was referring to his own sentence about saying "doesn't the bible say to be nice to your neighbor and shit." He never claimed you did, was just telling you not to bother if you were going to.

Calm down, dude.

Yes. Let's move forward.

Along those lines, The Daily was about this whole Lincoln Memorial thing today, I found it a good listen: https://www.nytimes.com/2019/01/23/p...-phillips.html

Ask all the "he's just a kid" naysayers what they thought about Trayvon Martin; he was a thug...

This lil cunt is what becomes a Brett Kavanaugh.

And the stories coming out about this school, the behaviour, the ... i'm just gonna go to sleep.

Such over generalization is what helped this falsely captioned video clip, by an unknown bogus tweeter, to go viral.

Yes, hope you had a good nite's sleep. Sometimes it's just not worth it listening to 'stories' and getting all riled up by them. You're not even sure if they're real or not. If laws were broken, then we should definitely try to get them convicted in court of law, rather than trying white people thru the court of public opinions.

Fight the good fight like Dr. King... with Truth and Peace. That's how things can end well and also with lasting impact.

Not related to today's news, but some pro-Billionaire getting totally self-owned by his tweet about Elizabeth Warren's tax plan, comments are gold

There's a video doing the rounds from a WaPo panel held during Davos, in which Michael Dell asks to be shown where a marginal tax rate of 70% has worked in helping the economy.

Panel and audience laugh.

Head of MIT's digital economy interrupts and says that for 30 plus years, the MTR for high-income earners in the U.S. was around that, and that it coincided with a period of sustained growth.

Panel and audience fall in uncomfortable silence.

I've heard someone call today's arrest of Roger Stone as "grabbing Trump by the posse" and I can't work any more today

In other news, the government is now open again for the next three weeks. They're really trying to spin this as Trump winning, but I don't see how this is anything other than caving.
