So the cops don't even know how she died, but they think some immigrant from Mexico is the top suspect?

according to the article, he told the police after he got out of his car and started jogging next to her, she said to leave her alone and he “blacked out” and came to with her body in the trunk and tossed it in a field. then he took the police to the body.

so no it’s not just them randomly deciding to put it on an immigrant.

It goes on and on, but I can't figure out Weiss's angle on this: if Salazar's personal politics isn't as a pro-Palestine as her leftism might suggest, and she's actually a stealth Zionist or whatever, how is that a bad thing in Weiss's eyes?

if it’s true that she was Christian born in Miami as American and parades around as a Jewish Colombian immigrant, she sounds like a piece of poo poo actually.

also if it’s true during college she was a pro life right wing Christian who supported the Palestinian genocide, she sounds like a piece of poo poo.

just because someone professes politics you agree with doesn’t mean you need to defend them

where did that # come from? total healthcare spending private + public was ~ 3.5 T in 2016 which includes out of pocket and hospital expenses inflated by people not having access to health care. which is $15k per tax payer or something like that. seems pretty feasible to me.

i believe it was a 10 year estimate, from a mercatus study funded the koch brothers. the real figure was 32 T/10 years ( a savings of 2 T over projected costs). 40 T is just creative rounding.

even this inflated “big number” estimate is actually reasonable and easily absorbed. doesn’t make any sense. its not like healthcare is free if it’s private...

I’m waiting for the news media to be ok with his murder once it starts being more widely reported that Jamal was close to bin laden. it will allow them to go back to their standard “actually the royal family is good” messaging with ease. hypernormalisation

I know you’ve been wondering what on earth has been causing the outbreak of wildfires in 2018, a year that has set records not just in California (which has experienced the largest blaze on record) but also in Scandinavia, where in July a fire broke out for the first time north of the Arctic Circle.

President Trump visited California in the wake of this deadly fire season and offered neither solace nor sympathy, let alone any awareness of the role climate change may have played. Instead, he allowed as how one of the issues was California’s failure to “rake the forest floor.” Online this observation has been mocked as #RakeNews.

But I am here to tell you that at least one of the fires — the Sawmill Fire in Arizona, which burned 45,000 acres last spring — is the result of a much more complex problem: gender reveal parties

yeah climate change it’s a thing, whatever, but this other fire? yeah way more complex and dangerous. gender reveal fire

discount memberships are not benefits. the company probably got kick backs for letting equinox freely advertise to their employees but it wasn’t used enough so they abandoned it
