Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Sitting here in limbo waiting for the dice to roll

If you don’t believe freedom is for everybody, then the thing you love isn’t freedom, it is privilege.

Republicans cannot even be trusted with their own money.

How stupid are these people?

Nancy smash is sick of your bullshit.

One lie, alone, tears the fabric of reality.

“Everybody’s entitled to be an idiot.”

Peak wingnut was a lie.

He seems like a smart guy, but JFC, what a dick!

Jesus, Mary, & Joseph how is that election even close?

Come on, media. you have one job. start doing it.

Human rights are not a matter of opinion!

Every one of the “Roberts Six” lied to get on the court.

America is going up in flames. The NYTimes fawns over MAGA celebrities. No longer a real newspaper.

Take hopelessness and turn it into resilience.

Stop using mental illness to avoid talking about armed white supremacy.

If you cannot answer whether trump lost the 2020 election, you are unfit for office.

This is dead girl, live boy, a goat, two wetsuits and a dildo territory.  oh, and pink furry handcuffs.

“In this country American means white. everybody else has to hyphenate.”

Thanks to your bullshit, we are now under siege.

Dumb motherfuckers cannot understand a consequence that most 4 year olds have fully sorted out.

Come on, man.

Weird. Rome has an American Pope and America has a Russian President.

    We also share what we’ve learned speaking to native Baltimoreans about the politics of the city and their everyday involvement with the police.

    But you can’t share what you’ve learned here?

    You mentioned a state senator early on named Stephanie Pugh. I think you might actually be talking about Catherine Pugh.

    Thanks for the coverage. This sort of back story is critical if people are going to understand what is happening in Baltimore.

    The police union is disputing, among many other things, the kind of knife that Grey had. So lets give the cops the benefit of the doubt and say it was a switchblade and therefore illegal. If the Baltimore cops have so little real crime to deal with that they bust a guy for a switchblade then maybe the police department is badly over staffed. Maybe the city should layoff some of the cops and use the money to upgrade playgrounds pools and libraries.

    The union is also concerned that it is a rush to judgement, after all its only been approx. three weeks since the arrest. What he conveniently forgot to mention is that under the state police bill of rights the cops could not be questioned for the first ten days and then only for short periods of time with plenty of food and potty breaks. Now reverse the situation and a cop is killed the shooter is charged within hours of being arrested. minutes

    @Woodrow/Asim:

    Podcast is embedded right in the post, man.

    Of course it is, as always.

    I’d just hoped that as an OP here he’d want to share his thoughts on Baltimore directly with BJ. Apparently not.

    @Mandalay: I am not always in a position to listen to podcasts (or other embedded videos). It would be nice to see written versions.

    @D58826: Somewhere in the last 2 days I read that only one of the officers had spoken to investigators. Is this still true (if it was true)? Is that like taking the 5th ?
