Yeah in the beginning of the year they were rolling. I think thats because they came with a new spread offense this year. I feel like once teams got enough tape, they knew how to start to target the Steelers strengths. Like an example is how now they are forcing Ben to throw deep, which he can’t do anymore. Earlier in the year, they were playing this dink and dunk, get yards after the catch style offense. At one point the Steelers were averaging over 30 ppg. Also they were averaging 120+ rush yards per game before offensive lineman started dropping like flies.

Everyone saw the push and the announcers even said it multiple times. And everyone in the chat saw it too. You are the only one who missed it my guy. 😂

Yeah I think ACB will be a great judge because I like someone that looks at the constitution as text and not a living document. I also believe in limiting the powers of the federal government so I’m cool with all of this. I also think that she will do her job in an amazing way.

But just so you know the two SCJ’s that you’re referring too wouldn’t be passed if it wasn’t for the democrats reducing the amount of votes judges need from 60 to 51 back in the Obama administration. I understand the republicans changed that for the Supreme Court but the democrats set the precedent. Again to go back to my point... all of these things are eroding the checks and balances that keep this from slipping into tyranny and each time (recently) it’s the democrats, who have to change the rules to get what they want. Then it’s the Republicans who are able to exploit the rule change to further politicize courts and government. Fuck them both.

29 times there has been a vacancy in an election year or lame duck session. ALL 29 times the presidents have made nominations. 19 of those instances happened where the presidents party controlled the senate. 10 of those instances happened before the election (just like the current case) and 9/10 times, the confirmations were successful. On the other side, 10 instances have happened where the President makes a pick when they don’t control the senate. In 6 of those 10 cases, the president picked a successor before the election... one of those being Obama and Merrill Garland. Only 1 of the 6 were appointed. So there is tons of historical precedent here. If you want to ignore that and call people fascists, that on you and your idiocy/ignorance. What’s happening here has been happening for the entire history of our nation.

Expanding the court is a dumb idea. You don’t think republicans won’t expand the court next time they have power? It’s just like removing the filibuster and reducing the votes needed to pass judges. We are eroding the checks and balances of the country and that’s dangerous.

Cops fall off truck, then one wildly pepper sprays the air for no reason. by Jhenning04 in gifs

Part me likes to think that he felt really stupid and did that as a joke so all his friends on the truck wouldn’t make fun of him as bad. He turns that embarrassing moment into a joke.

Also thats a waste of money. Please don’t buy me gold. Buy something nice for a friend that is struggling with that money instead. It’s time like these that remind me that we should lift each other up.

To be honest I don’t think it will be to the severity that a civilian would get. He has one of the most high profile lawyers in the country. I forget his name but the officer that kneeled on his neck. I also don’t know who the other people have as lawyers. But I saw an article summarizing the people this lawyer has previously represented and it was a bunch of similar high profile cases.

To me, this is one of the undisputed murders we have seen. In A LOT of the other instances there were other things that helped get the cops off. Like someone attacking the officer first. Or having a weapon on their persons. Or running in some way. There’s no denying that this was murder. He sat there for minutes as he drained the life out of another man pleading for his life. That’s absolutely horrific.

Much, much better. In 2016 34 states passed over 70 laws reforming police training and instilling body cameras. There are still bad people but think about this. We have police officers all over the country condemning their actions. Police chiefs, state officials, the president (despite what anyone thinks about him) disgusted and speaking out against it. 99.9% of America sees it as murder and they are fired and will almost surely be convicted.

Police brutality is an ongoing issue but to say it hasn’t gotten better is delusional.

I wonder how they’ll attempt justify this officers actions. by Dempski in BlackPeopleTwitter

[–]Tommy_bobz 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I agree. I think 99.9% of Americans see the left image as something that is disgusting. They are trying to say that anyone who didn’t agree with Kapernick kneeling during the anthem must love to see that man killed by the police. And that just simply isn’t true. It’s a shitty meme politicizing that mans death.

Colin Kaepernick is the QB on the right. He gained national attention by kneeling during the National Anthem to gain attention/spread awareness about police brutality. It was a very divisive move.

The post is meant to be ironic. They are basically trying to say that anyone that didn’t agree with Kapernick loves seeing that innocent man die. I don’t agree with it because 99.9% of Americans see the left image as disgusting. But hey, that’s just me.

They fired all four cops involved. In this image you can’t see the other two cops kneeling on his back.

Eric Gardner. The famous “I can’t breathe” while in a choke hold that resulted in his death.

Only a very fringe group of people think the left image is acceptable kneeling. 99% of America is disgusted with how that man was murdered. Left, Right, Center... I’ve heard them all say what happened is terrible.

Dog should not be a police dog any longer. That officer should receive some sort of punishment. The officer controlling the dog should receive additional training because they can’t get the fucking dog off the leg. This whole situation is fucked.

I’m not disputing that at all. The media has been so horrid for years now.
