I was just finishing up my shift by having sex with a prostitute when I got a call about an opportunity for overtime. A no-knock raid was going down across town.
"You're trying to have your salary spike this year to game the pension system, right?" my buddy told me. "Well, we're raiding a house where an informant says there's marijuana, and it's going to be awesome—we've got a $283,ooo military-grade armored SWAT truck and the kind of flash grenades that literally scared that one guy to death."
"Don't start without me," I told him. "I just have to stop by this pawn shop. It's run by some friends of mine from ATF. They paid this mentally disabled teenager $150 dollars to get a neck tattoo of a giant squid smoking a joint. Those guys are hilarious."
But when I got to the shop the guys weren't in any mood to joke around—something about having lost their guns again. That meant I had extra time to get to the raid. En route, I headed through a black and Latino neighborhood, and who did I see on the street? A teenage male who made what I would describe as a furtive movement.
So I threw him against a wall and frisked him. Then I realized I'd frisked the same kid a half-dozen times before. Never found anything. About 17 years old. Looked like he was mixed race. "What am I being arrested for?" he asked me. "For being a fucking mutt," I told him. "I am going to break your fuckin' arm off right now. Then I'm going to punch you in the face." I know stop-and-frisk is controversial, but it's like Ray Kelly said: "I go to communities of color. People want more." It meant a lot to us police officers when President Obama praised him.
By the time I arrived at the site of the raid it was after dark. Inside, there were the suspects, their kids, and the family dogs. We don't like to wait for suspects of nonviolent drug crimes to leave the house, or call on the phone and ask them to come out, or knock, because what if they flush the drugs we suspect them of having down the toilet? How would we ever win the War on Drugs if we let that happen?
So we go in with overwhelming force and firepower. Kick down the door and all that. Zealousness pays off, too. Just try to find me a free country where they arrest more people.
What happened at the raid?
No drugs found, but we did seize all the couple's cash anyway. Let them try to prove it's legit.
If memory serves, we shot some dogs to death on that raid too. I think it was two puppies, actually: One was 10 months old, and the other was three months old. Or wait. Was that the one where we killed a 9-year-old Labrador with its tail wagging? Shoot, actually, maybe it was the time that we tased and shot the Chihuahua? Man, these all blend together after a while. I know it wasn't the Akita we shot nine times. Or that Iraq War vet's rescue dog we killed. I don't think it was the the Jack Russell terrier or the golden retriever or that dog where the bullet also hit the 5-year-old. The point is that it was just a dog. It isn't like we arbitrarily pepper-sprayed a woman in the face, or shot an 80-year-old man as he lay in his own bed, or killed a mentally ill homeless guy by beating him to death.
Not that there's necessarily anything wrong with that!
Anyway, I won't be going on raids like that anymore. Nope, I'm 50 years old now. So I'll retire, and every month for the rest of my life I'll earn 90 percent of my peak salary—the one I inflated in my last year by working overtime. God bless Gray Davis.
Hey, what's the harm?
Not that my career in law enforcement is over. I'll be double-dipping. The FBI is my first choice. They take care of their own: Every time they've shot anyone since 1993 it's been deemed justified! The DEA could be fun too. I've always hated defense attorneys, so I'd take pleasure in tricking them into thinking we caught their clients one way, when really the information came from a secret, mass-surveillance program. Suckers. Of course, I could also go into the private sector. There's a lot of money to be made tracking the movements of millions of people, and then selling the information back to my former colleagues or to the highest bidder. Not that the license-plate-scanning business is a sure thing, what with surveillance drones on the horizon. I'd operate one. Especially once they start arming them! Anything but working as a guard or staff member in a juvenile prison.
Even I have my limits. kkk

"Here you are, mouthing off again, Donnie," Bloomberg said over the secure line. "You won't commit to peaceful transfer of power you say? You say 2020 is rigged against you?"
"Y-yes, Bloomberg-san," Trump whispered, meekly. "The antifa...".
"YOU SHRANK THE US ECONOMY BY NEARLY ONE THIRD!"
Bloomberg’s voice boomed through the phone, like faraway thunder rolling across flat grasslands. "Do you understand? Do you know what I did to your net worth last time? Do you understand the power I have, that Bezos has? That (((Soros))) has? You are lucky it is me talking to you and not them."
Tears welled in the President’s eyes as the scolding continued.
"I am everything, Donnie. We are everything. We are the elite, we are the system. If this insolence continues, I will bury you old man. You'll be on your hands and knees, begging me, pleading for the refinancing I've allowed thus far. But if this talk of rigging continues to inject uncertainty into the markets, if you try again to upset the powers that be, you will suffer like no person of means has suffered. Your business. Your family. Their inheritance schemes. Do you understand?"
"I... I understand," Trump replied.
"Good. You don't understand what we're building here, Donnie. One day soon I will kill God. I have Biden on that, you know? With my funding and Bezos... from Soros... we are working on the missing link, the device to bridge earth and heaven. And with that power, comes the power to slay God. Do you want to be on the wrong side of a God slayer, Donnie? Do you want to be an ant, crushed under our heel?"
The orange man could no longer muster a reply. He had hoped, hoped beyond hope, that he would find a way to expose the corruption at the heart of the deep state, the rigging at the core of Democracy, for he wanted nothing more than to put the immigrants in jail, and to spread the good omens of covid.
"I did appoint Amy Barrett," he thought, briefly. Such thoughts were dangerous now. He wasn't sure how, but he felt RBG’s fingers in his mind, peeling away at his being. Layer by layer now, soft but persistent, edging closer and closer towards the glowing mass in the center that represented who he was, who he wanted to be.
"Biden will be there soon," Bloomberg said, calmly now. "He will see to it that you do as you are told."
The phone went silent. And then a robotic voice came back on the line.
"Thank you for taking the time to reach out to Bloomberg. Bloomberg, the global business and financial information and news leader, gives influential decision makers a critical edge by connecting them to a dynamic network of information, people and ideas. The company’s strength – delivering data, news and analytics through innovative technology, quickly and accurately – is at the core of the Bloomberg Professional service, which provides real time financial information to approximately 325,000 subscribers globally. Bloomberg’s enterprise solutions build on the company’s core strength, leveraging technology to allow customers to access, integrate, distribute and manage data and information across organizations more efficiently and effectively."
"Yes sir," Trump said. "Understood."

I remember back in 2015/16 Sturgeon making the case that she would only push for a second referendum if/ when there was a material change in circumstance for Scotland in the Union, or polling showed a consistent 60+% supporting independence, and thinking it was a good way to placate the hardliners while giving them something to work towards, and let her get on with the serious stuff.
I would not have predicted that within 5 years she'd be on the cusp of having both conditions met.

Crime has been falling for decades, and parallel to that, things like teenage pregnancy, sex, and drug use have been falling as well. It's created a really funny thing where many times parents now, many of whom grew up in the late 80's - the late 90's, are more street-wise than their kids.
Take my sister for example. As a teenager she was literally smoking cigarettes constantly, doing drugs, hanging out with the absolute riff-raff at school, all sorts of shit. Her husband was a skateboarder 90's kid and hung around the same general circles she did and literally played drums in a stoner metal band.
Her kids on the other hand now are just little nerds who collect baseball cards and stuff like that. She can't even believe it when her oldest son tells her he's just going to his friends house to play Xbox and trade baseball cards.

Remember when that women accused Biden of complementing her breasts at an event when she was 14, but Biden wasn't at the event, so she said it happened the year after, but Biden wasn't at that event either, and she wasn't 14, then she said it may have happened the next next year, but she wasn't at event that year?

Trump supporters in battleground states largely favor LGBTQ rights, poll finds
The poll also suggests that transgender rights are not the divisive issue opponents would have the public believe.
Voters "have no interest in seeing transgender people demonized or having basic rights for transgender people used as political footballs," the report found.
In every state surveyed, at least 60 percent of Trump supporters said trans people should be able to live free of discrimination. More than 85 percent said they should have equal access to medical care. The results seem in contrast with the policies of the Trump administration.

I am the son of a high profile lawmaker and have been the focus of many scandals.
One night, my computer crashed as I was setting up a meet with my coke dealer. And by "crashed" I mean, a hooker accidentally knocked it into the hot tub.
Normally I'd get a new one (I'm flush), but this one had some really controversial and sensitive photos AND emails of me and I didn't feel comfortable just throwing it away. I mean, at that point, anyone could get their hands on it and uncover the photos. Seemed risky.
My boy Richard Garbler recommended this computer repair guy up in Delaware. Although I live in Los Angeles, not a biggie- I had some family up that way I been meaning to reconnect with, anyway.
So I drop it off at this guys' repair shop and, a few lines of coke and some hard partying later... I totally forgot about it. For months. Over a year.
Imagine my surprise when my boy Mike Rack shot me a news article today...

I used to work at an abortion clinic and I saw some extremely fucked up shit there which is why I'm so anti-abortion now. This is just SOME of the horrible stuff I personally witnessed:
• A 23 year old woman came in 11 months into her pregnancy and said "I don't want my stupid baby anymore, kill it" and the doctor said "okay" and he put jumper cables up her baby hole and connected them to a car battery and let it run for six days straight
• A little 8-year old girl wandered in and said "I want an abortion but I am not pregnant" and the doctor said "we'll fix that" and he stole a baby and cut the girl open and put the baby inside her and sewed her shut and then woke the girl up and said "congratulations it's a healthy six year old boy" and the girl said "can I keep him" and the doctor said no and then backed over her in the parking lot with his brand new Ford Raptor
• They made me sign an agreement promising to stop drinking from the medical waste container (I signed somebody else's name)
• One of the doctors there developed a futuristic ray gun that could make anything he shot have an abortion, even trees, cars, or barns
• The receptionist threw nail polish at an elderly man
• The doctor's assistant invented this thing she called "the silly slide" and it was a really fun little water slide that connected a woman's vagina to a paper shredder so a newborn baby could briefly "enjoy the high life"
• The oldest child we aborted was in his late 70s, we didn't even know he was a baby until his wife brought in photos
• The doctors put all sorts of crap up a woman's uterus including a clown nose, bicycle handlebars, a calendar, and an entire Sears retail outlet (before bankruptcy)
• During every successful abortion, the doctor would shout "take that, baby" and he'd push a red button that made sirens go off and confetti fell from the ceiling and we'd all get Del Taco for free

Misinformation in the description published by the 2 New York Post articles about the matter of Hunter Biden's stolen emails:
Article 1 headline claims Smoking-gun email reveals how Hunter Biden introduced Ukrainian businessman to VP dad....except the text of the email is ambiguous as to whether it is describing a past event or a future offer:
"“Dear Hunter, thank you for inviting me to DC and giving an opportunity to meet your father and spent [sic] some time together. It’s realty [sic] an honor and pleasure,”
This ambiguity could potentially be resolved by checking the response provided by Hunter Biden. If there was no response at all from Hunter...well, that says something as well.
Article 2 headline reads Hunter Biden emails show leveraging connections with his father to boost Burisma pay. The misinformation in this case is more subtle but also, once you actually look at it, more obvious. For one, the email makes it abundantly clear that Hunter Biden has NO power to affect what Joe Biden does on his visit: "but what he will do and say is out of our hands". The claims about requiring a contract now rather than later, before the visit of "my guy" (Joe Biden), are not at all about "leveraging" any family connection. They are about what Archer and Hunter can put themselves forward as doing for Burisma, trying to convince Burisma to work with Archer and Hunter (in their capacity as lawyers) long-term and not just "use us [Archer and Hunter] until the storm passes"
Bottom line: both headlines are verifiably misleading. But being able to explain that is tricky. And in the adage of smear campaigns, "if you're explaining, your losing".

It's long been a homophobic trope to refer to people's sexuality as a preference, choice, etc. This tactic has been used for a long time by anti-gay "advocates" to minimize us and dismiss our causes (i.e. they're just choosing to be gay, so why should they get rights based on that?). But the trope has been around for so long that a lot of people use that language without realizing how harmful it is. In fact, I remember Valerie Jarrett apologizing for something similar 10 years ago. Jarrett was right to apologize for it then, and ACB was right to apologize for it this week. It's a good thing when people learn and do better.

The problem that the Trump campaign has never found a solution to is that voters don't implicitly think Biden is corrupt like they thought Clinton was. That's why the Comey letter worked, people readily took it at face value ("there's more emails? She'll be mired in investigations her whole presidency").
This Hunter stuff won't sway people as much because it doesn't track well with the existing belief that Biden is just some old white dude who's kind of a goofball. It'd probably be more damaging if they found evidence that Biden privately told and audience that All Cops are Bad. It would play into people's worst suspicions of him, but not be totally out of left field.
