I was in Chicago and a native told me that you were welcome to drive as fast as you wanted, regardless of the speed limit, as long as you tapped your brakes when passing any cop to “show respect”.

@jbmonkeythumper

his friend was doing 80+ in a 55 while those around him were closer to triple digits.

Thanks for the warning. I’ll be sure to avoid driving on the streets of Chicago during my cross-country travels.

Yup.

threatened to take away police protections from communities who refused to bow down and respect worship law enforcement.

Democrat: We’ve got to throw our slaves a few crumbs once in a while, lest they rebel and ruin the whole thing!
Republican: No, they’ll do as they’re told, get nothing, and like it!

The threshold of who’s right I guess is in line with our collective intelligence / willingness to organize.

The GOP has no guiding philosophy beyond, “fuck you got mine”

Don’t forget chapter two: “I want yours too. And fuck you.”

The GOP’s “small government” rhetoric is…empty rhetoric?!
Surely not!
What’s next? Don’t tell me the Democrats actually don’t care about poor people and minorities!
