What a weird take. When Jo Cox was murdered in the UK I didn't say 'fuck her' because of vile fucks like Rees Mogg. There are good and bad police, you have no knowledge of this victim whatsoever. 

A man woke up today, left his home and was murdered. That some people in his proffesion are violent, corrupt or evil is completely irrelevant. 

How utterly pathetic. 

I've been to murders where I knew for a fact that the victim was an absolute scumbag who had caused incredible misery to their community, we still try and save their lives and show empathy to the family. Yet here you are practically gleeful that a police officer was killed. 

I utterly reject this obnoxious post. "Practically gleeful" is insulting and clearly not what I was saying if you read the entire post and the next one.

Oh look, Republicans in Georgia have started talking about increasing taxes on Delta and Coca-Cola as retribution against them for their statements.

What a bunch of socialists who hate the free market.

Will the Senate move forward even if the president's views do not evolve on this?

We will move forward. He said he's studying the issue, so obviously want to give him a little time to study it. I want to make my arguments to him, as many other advocates will. But at some point we're going to move forward, period.

Federal marijuana legalization would be an interesting senate vote. I think there are 60+ votes for it in the senate (including McConnell actually, as a way of expanding Kentucky's growing hemp industry into related fields), but I could see as many 10 Democrats voting against it.

I think the House too would need some Republican votes, which they'd get, since not every Democrat there would go for it either.
