FIFY, because we know what an anachronism strong journalistic integrity is these days.

FIFY, because we know what an anachronism strong journalistic integrity is these days.

As an example (excuse the drift) here's how local TV stations reported news of police freaking out when a street person hopped into an undercover cop's car:


TULSA, Oklahoma - Tulsa Police took a suspect in custody in a possible attempted robbery. Officers responded to the QuikTrip at 51st and Harvard around 7:15 p.m. Monday, January 9, 2017.
Officers say a man hopped in the back seat of the detective's blue Ford and said, "take me somewhere." The door was unlocked, according to police.
The officer said the man refused to leave, so he called for backup.
"He told the officer to get out of the vehicle and to take him," said Sergeant C. Hardaway, Tulsa Police. "He said, 'take me, just take me with you.' And the officer felt like he was in fear, and the subject kept pounding his fists and just making like he was going to assault him.

Officers responded to the QuikTrip near I-44 and South Harvard around 7:15 p.m. They say Cpl. D. Filak requested assistance over the radio after Anthony Haley opened the unlocked rear driver's side door, got in the backseat and refused commands to get out.

What the he!! does any of this have to do with Trump? Your highjacking every thread with your anti-cop diatribes is really tiring . And I say that as something that thinks police in this country are often awful.

[patric]

And yet his supporters/apologists still dismiss this behavior out of one side of their face while bleating plaintively about their religious beliefs from the other...

Not as funny this time but hit the relevant topics:

It was very clearly an on-topic response about media intergrity that just happened to involve a police story as an example -- it was handy.

And now, in the first of what promises to be a long series of lunatic ideas, Newt Gingrich wants to change federal law to allow our new Fuhrer-in-Chief the authority to fire civil servants who voted for Clinton.

Professionals are important to run anything.  At the moment, we do not have anyone in charge of the DC National Guard, the Nuclear Safety Commission,  or most of our embassy's.  Luckily, we have professional staff as caretakers.  If all federal jobs were political, even the most basic functions of government wouldn't get done.

Ron Swanson would approve, but practically speaking...nothing good happens.

(this isn't to say firing federal workers, or any worker, for incompetence or malicious intent shouldn't be allowed)

Some people have jobs you know.

[Hoss]

Some people have jobs you know.

But I thought that picture on the right was 1.5 million people?
