There’s simply nothing Trump and the Republicans do that isn’t calculated to make America and the world worse.

Justice moves slowly, but injustice is lickety-split.

Excerpt: “I had a miscarriage, OK? A miscarriage. Why are you guys here over a f**king miscarriage?” Rousseau responded to the deputy.

Why has it taken so long for any judge to say no to this?

Excerpt: On his last morning in New Zealand, Mr. Patel went for a run and a swim in Wellington’s harbor with the police commissioner, Richard Chambers. The moment was later covered by local media, with reports pointing out that the two were swimming during a tsunami advisory.

Same Democrat, from a few weeks ago: Judge again blocks Gov. Jared Polis from directing state officials to comply with an ICE subpoena

The Governor of West Virginia thinks Americans’ cherished right to be stupid should override public safety.

I’m cool with that. Parents should be free to skip vaccines for their children, provided they sign a waiver which admits they did it intentionally, and guarantees their conviction for child endangerment or murder if the kid gets the disease.

This has to be the most brazen, un-hidden corruption in American history. My prediction is, the media will downplay it, perhaps call it “unusual,” and Democrats will put up a mild ruckus that only makes it seem boring.

That’ll learn ’em real good.

CNN’s coverage doesn’t mention the whole sex tourism angle.

Full text, because The Oregonian has a very effective paywall: A Eugene police officer resigned after a recently uploaded YouTube video showed him using what Eugene Police Chief Chris Skinner called “racist and deeply offensive language.”

The four-minute video, posted on May 8, is clipped from bodycam footage of an on-duty officer talking on the phone with a fellow officer during a Jan. 30 protest against federal immigration agents in downtown Eugene, according to YouTube user Tim Lewis.

As the officer cruises the streets in a patrol car, he and the person on the phone use stereotypes to discuss Black people, chuckle at protesters being gassed and gossip about fellow officers who commit domestic violence, including an incident in which another colleague bragged that he “chucked” his daughter up against a wall.

In a statement, Chief Skinner said the officer resigned on Saturday. According to a police spokesperson, Skinner was referring to “the officer driving the vehicle,” rather than the person on the phone. The officer “came in and resigned prior to any conversations or discussions with management about the incident,” the spokesperson said.

Neither officer has been publicly identified. The Oregonian/OregonLive requested the names and rank of the officer who resigned, as well as the identity of the person on the phone and an unedited version of the bodycam video.

Later Monday, Eugene police released the full video as well as a second clip in which the same officer listens to The Megyn Kelly Show podcast while denigrating the Somali and Latino communities, using an expletive.

Skinner described what was said in the video as “wrong, disrespectful and completely inconsistent with the values of the Eugene Police Department.”

In a separate statement, Eugene Independent Police Auditor Craig Renetzky wrote that he learned of the video Saturday morning and found its contents to be “highly offensive, racist in their nature and, simply put, disgusting.”

Renetzky said he had planned to bring allegations of misconduct against the officer before learning of his resignation that afternoon.

“We will continue with our preliminary investigation to ensure that none of the other voices heard on the video are EPD employees,” Renetzky wrote. “If we identify any other EPD employees who are involved in this incident, we will bring allegations against them as warranted.”

Me again: “Neither officer has been publicly identified” is not incidental. It’s intentional, to make sure these cops will have no trouble being hired by another police department.
