Believe it or not, when you run from the cops, who are responding to gun shots, with a gun in your hand, and then you raise that gun, bad things can happen. Image
Watch the video. Split second decision. The kid has the gun in his hands, drops it behind the fence and then turns around, completely reasonable for the cop to believe that the kid was turning around to shoot him. vimeo.com/536331629

FDA will end up killing a lot more Africans than Americans. Did they factor vaccine hesitancy in the third world when they were playing 6D chess with the public? nytimes.com/2021/04/14/wor… Image
Nice job. I’m sure Malawi will get the message when Fauci declares this all shows how careful he really is. Image
“Amid the clotting concerns, the World Health Organization and African Union have not wavered in recommending the use of the AstraZeneca and Johnson & Johnson’s vaccines.” If WHO is run by China like idiots say no wonder it’s much more competent than the US and EU.

The pro-intervention crowd is not happy about Biden's coming announcement on Afghanistan. Here's The Washington Post alone. Thread.
Congrats to al-Qaida and the IRGC! I care more about if FDD wins, and they're on quite the losing streak.
But women! Why are women always a justification to keep a war going but never to start one? They draw you in with talk of scary threats, keep you in through feminist guilt.

The anti-Nate Silver Fauci worshippers are scarier than Antifa, Islamists, and Capitol Hill rioters put together. The combination of stupidity and certainty with which they go through life, all the more horrifying because it's empty of any ideology but deference to power.
Always 5D chess! Instead of believing pulling a vaccine will make people doubt its efficacy, they think people will say

1) Gee, 1 in a million is not that high
2) But they stopped it anyway, and made an irrational decision
3) Wow, they must really know what they're doing!
These arguments are always just post hoc used to justify whatever the FDA or CDC did. Nobody made this argument last week as far as I can tell. These people's brains have something very very wrong with them.

Wall Street Journal today: “America’s chaotic pandemic response, followed by a summer of racial upheaval and the Jan. 6 Capitol storming, solidified [Xi's] faith in the Chinese system’s superiority.”
No one thinks this will ever end.
I think that professor who was encouraging recreational heroin use might be on to something.

Does the left ever engage the right on the question of democracy or just assume more is better? Maybe they should defend the concept using data showing how informed and intelligent voters are.
Every single person offended by this likes Roe v Wade but thinks Citizen United was an assault on “democracy.”
This is literally just "it's consistent with democracy when I like the result and not democracy when I don't."

"Killing with drones produces queer moments of disorientation. Drawing on queer phenomenology, I show how militarized masculinities function as spatiotemporal landmarks that give killing in war its 'orientation'." Award winning research. tandfonline.com/doi/abs/10.108…
Also an expert in "Petro-Masculinity." Must stand up to the "king of petro-masculinity," Charles Koch, and shirtless Putin swinging his oil barrels around making solar energy look gay.
Petro-masculinity "appreciates the historic role of fossil fuel systems in buttressing white patriarchal rule." "Petro masculinists" see the earth as feminine, punish her with "fossil violence". Proud Boys don't masturbate, which is also petro-masculinity. journals.sagepub.com/doi/full/10.11…
