17-year-old Masonique Saunders will spend the next three years in prison because Columbus police shot and killed her 16-year-old boyfriend Julius Tate Jr. newrepublic.com/article/154674…
Her prosecution and sentence are possible under the felony murder rule. In Alabama, 15-year-old LaKeith Smith was sentenced to 67 years in prison after being found guilty of the murder of his friend, who was killed by a cop in similar circumstances. theappeal.org/alabama-prosec…
The United States is alone in the world in pursuing two modes of prosecution: giving life sentences to children under 18, and giving life sentences for murder to people who haven’t murdered anyone. theappeal.org/the-appeal-pod…

.@DineshDSouza is a fool, & his critics are right about climate change, but this idea that winter in the southern hemisphere is a mirror of the north is wrong. Not just in Australia, but across the entire southern hemisphere. I wish a climate change scientist would weigh in.
@DineshDSouza Other than Antarctica and New Zealand, there's not a lot of snow falling in the southern hemisphere in the winter. The fact that there is in Australia would seem to be very strong evidence of climate change.
@DineshDSouza This is how rare snow is in Australia. I grew up in Sydney, but traveled around a lot, certainly to the parts of Australia where it is now snowing (which are in my home state). Until I moved to the US as an adult, I had never once seen snow.

.@DineshDSouza is a fool & so are his arguments about climate change, but snowfall in Australia right now is not normal winter weather in that part of the southern hemisphere. It NEVER snows like this.

That it is shows just how urgently we need to act.

@DineshDSouza And when I say never, not never, but maybe once every 10 or 20 years.

But I see people #onhere saying it snows in Sydney. Nope. It never snows in Sydney. That kangaroos are adapted to live in snow. Nope. They can for a very short time, but not really.
@DineshDSouza Australia is 97% desert. It does not snow in Australia except at very high elevations. We do not have seasons the way the US does. So @DineshDSouza's comments about climate change are all sorts of wrong, but it's factually inaccurate to say that's winter in Australia. It's not.

So this is a wonderful story, but of all the stories from the El Paso shooting, why did @ChrisCuomo choose the one where a Customs & Border Protection Agent is the hero?

I don't get it, @CuomoPrimeTime is serious propaganda for the CBP. The CBP under Trump. What's up with that?
@ChrisCuomo @CuomoPrimeTime For most people affected by the El Paso shooting, the presence of CBP officers is not a reassuring thing. I am glad here one person saved another person's life. But this is not the "big picture" story. Maybe @CuomoPrimeTime could devote a segment to that.
@ChrisCuomo @CuomoPrimeTime Or hey @ChrisCuomo could always address it #onhere.

1. Nehru was instrumental in Netaji not returning to India and getting him killed by Stalin. Gandhi and Patel were hand in glove in Netaji's assasination. So even though Netaji was the first PM of India, Nehru succeeded by getting him assasinated.
2. Nehru was succeeded by Lal Bahadur Sastri. Again with the communist Russia's assistance he was assasinated and Indira succeeded.
3. The Vatican go involved and employed a prostitute to entice an idiot born to Indira thru her husband. She also had another son born thru a Muslim friend. The prostitute arranged for his death and later Indra so her husband could succeed. So he succeeds by 4th assasination.

NEW: Mueller's office says Paul Manafort is facing a sentencing range in his Virginia case of 19.5 to 24.4 years in prison — but they aren't taking a position on what exactly he should get buzzfeednews.com/article/zoetil…
Prosecutors aren't saying what sentence they think Paul Manafort should get, but they had strong words about how the judge should think about Manafort's situation: "Neither the Probation Department nor the government is aware of any mitigating factors." buzzfeednews.com/article/zoetil…
Prosecutors argued that Manafort's age (he's 69) shouldn't cut in his favor at sentencing, noting that tax offenders tend to be older and still get long sentences, and that Manafort pleaded guilty in DC to a witness tampering conspiracy just last year buzzfeednews.com/article/zoetil…
