I only just learned of it in the past couple days myself, and I tend to agree.
This is worth reading, if you use the site. It gives a sense of how things might be going over there.

Huffpo is owned by a right winger now.
Only one thing for it then…
The playing chicken is already done. Now we’re in the car while it’s flipping end over end, but still sniping at each other about who should have been driving.
Good thing everyone can just sit here and blame each other while we all ride the flaming wreckage into the ground now. 🎉
I think it’s the third I’ve heard of, the death by cop guy, this guy, and I can’t remember the other but pretty sure there was.
No argument from me, but I have a suspicion that being old is going to be a third rail politically during the next general election, assuming we get one and that it resembles being a free and valid election in any way.
Wait are guillotine memes etc getting pulled now? First time I’ve seen it happen!
That’s a pretty interesting thing to know, thanks for mentioning it!
She’s just the only one that actually seems to give a shit about who she represents. Whereas both for Republicans and Democrats the vast majority of our “representation”
While I agree with almost everything you said, there’s really no good reason to make a statement like that and leave Bernie in with the “vast majority” group. 🙂
The man has walked the walk for a very long time. (Yes he’s too old to run for office now, but he deserves his due!)

I haven’t looked at the link yet, but whenever there’s a call for bodycam footage and police don’t wanna, it ALWAYS exposes that they lied in their initial report. ALWAYS.
Wanna build some trust back police? Stop LYING as your first reflex when something you don’t like goes down.
I will go read the link now, and we’ll see if I am going to have to eat crow about the contents. I don’t have much in the way of worry.
Edit: No crow yet, the article only covers that the finally released it. I remain unworried.
Edit2: Ah there’s the video. Don’t know if I missed it or if the embed didn’t load the first time.
Edit3: I saw no gun, just a guy running for his life, and another guy really thankful he didn’t get executed while laying down. The cop even says he “thinks” there was a gun. As soon as he says that and that it was sliver, the kid on the ground is even like “nope” - you can hear in his voice he just plain knows the cop is wrong.
Ah, the old high-pressure-sales “this is a limited time offer” or “I can’t promise this car will still be here when you change your mind” approach.
What a fucking sleazebag.
I’m almost more disappointed that his voters can’t see what a sleazebag he is than I am that they are willing to vote for fascism.
And seventy some million voters suddenly forgot this was true as soon as they read about this great achievement from their God-king.
