It's all well and good unless you're working for a contractor, in which case you get to choose between burning vacation days or dealing with unpaid time off. Federal employees seemed disappointed when the last shutdown ended.

I was very disappointed that all republicans didn't commit ritual suicide

I can't believe someone used a "if you can't tell me the ordinance you can't arrest me" argument to challenge a cop. This isn't Dungeons and Dragons. There is no Protection From Law Enforcement spell that a citizen can utter that makes police have to leave you alone. Unless you have Power Word Diplomatic Immunity and its required components you don't challenge a cop like this (and I still wouldn't risk it). :psyduck: None of this excuses the cops going overboard but challenging a cop's authority is never a good idea. Unless you're white and have a bunch of people in the area with guns and a desire to kill law enforcement (Bundy ranch) in which case you might get away with it temporarily.

There needs to be a federal law that prohibits "resisting arrest" being charged against anyone unless they were actually being arrested with cause. It also needs to reinforce that resist has to be physical because I'm pretty sure the COTB threads had 'verbal resisting' in some of the more blatant cases of abuse.

Being charged for resisting arrest without being charged for anything else is basically "you got arrested for contempt of cop."

I love this new Benghazi thing: "Yes, I testified a bunch 18 months ago and didn't bring it up then, but I just remembered, I saw Clinton do Benghazi".

I wish I could somehow make Benghazi Bucks from Fox News :(

Yes, leftists should give Dems a reason to care about them. Right now the left wing of the party is just assumed to be a group that is irritated at the Democrats but will ultimately vote lockstep with their policies. Do something that makes them pay attenton, like knock out some infamously corporate shills in primaries, and then we'll be getting somewhere.

The fact that California liberals can't even loving take out Dianne Feinstein...

Conservative writer and filmmaker Dinesh D'Souza was sentenced to eight months in a community confinement center and five years probation after he pleaded guilty to violating campaign finance laws.

I can't believe that he'll manage not to violate his probation.
