    Las Vegas man who called 911 for help killed by police in his home

    "Mr Bookman yells, "hey, drop the knife, drop the knife", seconds before firing a shot that hit Mr Durham and sent him and Ms Boudreaux to the ground.

    Mr Bookman then fires five more shots at Mr Durham and says "put your hands up", body-worn camera footage released by police showed."

    Mr Durham is the dude who called 911: Mr Bookman is the cop

    Democrats are completely useless. Worse than useless, they are actively harmful.

    I think the best thing to do after losing an election to a bunch of fascists is to throw vulnerable people under the bus because they're inconvenient.

    Not only that, but they barely won, and from exit polling it mostly seems to be because of inflation/economic issues. People that voted for Trump in 2016, but didn't show up in 2020, showed up enough this time to erase any gains Harris made in swing states, and of course Harris lost some voters compared to 2020, and there doesn't seem to be much (any?) evidence it has anything to do with trans people. Yeah those commercials "worked", but would they have worked as well if inflation didn't happen, or if Harris messaged better, or if people just paid closer attention to the news/elections? Like how many polls have we seen now showing that Trumps biggest margins were with people that knew nothing about the news/election---which means they only thing they did know was what those awful commercials were telling them.

    Hard to imagine that he’s not going to get kicked off off Twitch since everyone everywhere is caving to the same pressure

    After he already resigned from Congress because he knew the ethics report would sink him lmao


    I'm sure he'll latch on in an unofficial role in Trump's team

    Is there any chance this was all some weird hail mary to try and minimize the damage of ignoring the ethics report? It sorta kinda makes sense in a twisted way. But I still gotta imagine house simply being "no we're not going release the report lol but he can stay in congress" would've gotten far less media attention
