Did you know that nations with a fraction of our police, and police that aren't even armed most of the time, don't have their homes invaded constantly and often have lower crime rates than the US

Describe right wing operation, are you nuts?

Do you know how many people in Haiti or Honduras want our police force so badly because theirs doesnt work?

Dont get me wrong, abuse happens but most cops are good people who want to protect. They're the reason your home isn't invaded and legal to do.

Westerns understand how to do a foil properly more often than other genres I think

Alot of other genres have just given up, and when they do it, it's often hamfisted

Westerns are alllllll about the vibe the main characters give off to me

That's why Justified remains as my favorite modern Western, Raylan nails that "white hat cowboy" vibe perfectly

And Boyd is an iconic villain

Lmao is this supposed to be a bad thing?

A tweet from Bari Weiss that says “"It's shaken me to my core," a lieutenant said of Mamdani's unexpected victory in June. "The absolute dread I feel is palpable.

Today in @TheFP our @Olivia_Reingold talks to the cops who say they will walk if Zohran Mamdani is elected in November:”

the actual story here, which the media never talks about, is that police in this country have become a discrete right-wing political operation. the story isn't about cops leaving (they're lying about that), it's about the police trying to exert influence over elections.

The bullshit medical reports they always give out for Trump are gonna cause an extra level of MAGA crazy when he croaks. “He actually had too much pure health in his body, it was needed on a higher plain of existence. He’s too powerful for our little world now”
