a rage essay manifesto gets made into a movie by Hollywood - the industry that manages to glamorize and monetize guns and violence more than all other industries combined

e: not even an original plot, color us shocked. just change a few details (“deplorables” are the enemy)

Code
"Nothing better than going out to the Manor and slaughtering a dozen deplorables."
Actual line from the script.


Isn't it amazing? The level of hypocrisy.

I guess he'll run for the Colorado Senate seat now. Gardner is one of the most vulnerable GOP incumbents in this cycle, and Colorado has been trending towards the Dems in recent statewide elections. Someone with Hickenlooper's name recognition should be able to clean house in the primaries and have a very good shot at taking out Gardner in the general.

KABUL (Reuters) - A suicide bomber killed 63 people and wounded 182 in an attack on a packed wedding reception in the Afghan capital, the interior ministry said on Sunday, as violence shows no sign of easing despite hopes for a deal on a U.S. troop withdrawal.




They bomber must be upset that the US is pulling out. :/

Pending criminal charges for manslaughter? Or is he just free to go work somewhere else?

Not sure. That was the Twitter post by Reuters, complete with misspelling, with no story attached, right before I left for work.

/e on further investigation, he was fired because of his use of the banned choke hold. He had been assigned to desk duty ever since.
