Police gun down children and people like mtierney go on and on and on about smashed shop windows. A woman who is part of a violent mob forces her way into chamber of the House of Representatives, and mtierney is suddenly worried about police shooting people.
So the fact that this officer had two fatal strokes shortly after the riots was just a coincidence?
The Post article uses the term "unruly" to describe people who broke windows, broke down doors, assaulted officers and chanted that they wanted to hang the VP.
The shooting death of a member of the mob resulted from the actions of the mob and they are responsible for her death.
If she had been shot to death as a result of trying to pay for a cup of coffee in the Congressional cafeteria with a counterfeit $20.00 I would feel differently.
food for thought in light of a judge's recent revelations regarding Barr's Mueller summary.
The New York Times serial failures on Trump-Russia from the pre-2016 election stories through the Mueller Report and its aftermath stand out as among the worst lapses in the paper's otherwise distinguished history. https://t.co/0UlToyg75V
There is absolutely no evidence that there is a relationship between rising crime and police reform. None. This is utter **** propaganda masquerading as journalism. https://t.co/Q7FsmtQes8
here they go again. How can they definitively characterize the reason for her visit as a response to GOP criticism? The answer is they can't and they shouldn't. They're not mind readers.

I try to not open a NYT rant by you if it appears the paper has an article, even remotely balanced, but this quote from the VP has to be added to the list of brainless comments by her.
And who is the primary “critic” he invokes to hand-wring over Biden’s refusal to adopt this supposed “middle ground”? (The middle ground meaning the U.S. remains in Afghanistan, in clear violation of the terms agreed upon with the Taliban, but more on this later.)
Meghan O’Sullivan, board member of US-based weapons contractor Raytheon. Baker writes:
Critics consider that either disingenuous or at the very least unimaginative, arguing that there were viable alternatives, even if not especially satisfying ones, that may not have ever led to outright victory but could have avoided the disaster now unfolding in Kabul and the provinces.
“The administration is presenting the choices in a way that is, at best, incomplete,” said Meghan O’Sullivan, a deputy national security adviser under President George W. Bush who oversaw earlier stages of the Afghan war. “No one I knew was advocating the return of tens of thousands of Americans into ‘open combat’ with the Taliban.”
Left unmentioned, because it would be super awkward to note this in her bio, is that Meghan O’Sullivan is currently on the board of directors of Raytheon––the second largest military contractor in the U.S., billing the Pentagon over $27 billion a year (greater than the entire annual military budget of Canada or Israel), including a $145 million contract to train Afghan Air Force pilots—a contract that was, presumably, adversely affected this week.
and for a twofer, the Times manages to publish a piece about the COVID situation in Florida while barely mentioning DeSantis.
Florida shows that even a large state that made a strong push to vaccinate people can be crushed by the Delta variant, reaching frightening levels of hospitalizations and deaths. https://t.co/uVNnJ6Y4Zy

there they go again, scaremongering on Social Security
Social Security will be depleted in 2033, a year earlier than previously projected, according to a government report, as the pandemic has drained revenues and put additional strain on one of the U.S.’s most important social safety net programs. https://t.co/FmiLY5UNsL

What do you see as scaremongering? It is factual. Unless something changes, this will happen and there will be pressure to cut benefits. I see it as prudent.

And by “something changes,” I mean raising Social Security taxes for those earning over 400k.

How useful is a 12-year economic forecast?
We've been hearing that SS will go "bankrupt" by such and such a date forever. After the 2008 great recession, wasn't it supposed to run out of money by 2021?
Sorry, it seemed to copy and paste ok but it’s not appearing now.
my question is, isn’t your beef with the source of the information, which is some obscure government agency with a long name, rather than the NYT, which only reported the information.
