I still think Fox News peaked when Hannity basically said "the NYT is just trying to distract you, oh by the way here's a video of a car crash look at the red car"
Law Enforcement can do absolutely no wrong at all ever
vs the liberal position of law enforcement can sometimes do wrong in certain situations depending on what a reasonable officer at the scene would do with no additional scrutiny
We've seen various pieces gauging the loyalty of Trump voters in Trump country.
So this week I traveled to five of the counties that supported Clinton the most overwhelmingly to see how voters there felt about their votes -- and about Trump. http://wapo.st/2DMY61I
@GodEmperorDune Yeah, I'm not sure. I get the wanting to help the daughter but the approach seems so over the top, lol. In Delaware teens take Driver's Ed in school so there's no test if they pass that (it includes actual driving sessions, but I feel like it's less stressful than a make-or-break test)
They also bumped the age to 17 though a few years after I graduated, silly kids these days
They also have to have a novice driver magnet on their card until their permit period is up which lol

It appears that Bill Kristol has joined Greta Van Susteren, Eric Bolling, and many others and has been hacked by pro-Erdogan hackers. They have changed his username which has stripped his account of the verified badge....same thing they did with other folks they hacked.
A lot of people talking up the NPR interview with the fascistic whack job who now runs ICE. But the thing is, the guy was put in charge of "Enforcement and Removal" in *2013*. So let's talk a little bit about how Gestapos do not arise sui generis because someone said shithole.
I truly do believe that of the awful slice of humanity that is law enforcement officers, ICE is the worst slice of that slice
By far
Border patrol is up there
But when you're under the purview of DHS generally speaking, bad
ICE, border patrol, TSA
With varying orders of magnitude in between that makes TSA~=local police in most jurisdictions
Democrats, of course, have decided to hang their hats on DACA and a just-so story about bringing in the "best and brightest" from other places, the old meritocratic swindle that tells the neediest and most vulnerable to get fucked.
