      Still basically the equivalent of "thoughts and prayers", though.
      What kind of cheese are you planning to put on top?

          Given that they're members of the press, is there anything more you would ever expect from the Thin-Skinned One?

            Yeah, you know, a system where Mrs. Stepford from the suburb and Mr. Thomas from the projects both get the death penalty for murder. Instead of just the latter.

                To the extent that is at least a consistent moral message, I can respect it even if I disagree.
                It's good you clarified that. Being serious.

                  I can’t believe you, of all people, are discounting lawyers and their role.
                  Or should all lawyers work for free (even the good ones )

                    My wife's one of the best criminal defense attorneys in the state. But there's only so much she can do when racist cops and racist juries are involved.

                    Thankfully Iowa doesn't have the death penalty.

                      She must be good if she's done nothing more than keep you out of jail.

                        I'm a white upper class heterosexual male. That doesn't exactly take much doing.

                        However, counting lesser includeds as wins, she hasn't lost a trial in over 2.5 years.

                          We've gotten a glimpse of your troubled mind, though, so there's that.

                            Don't know where else to put this, but Chicago protesters are shutting down a highway for a march.

                            One of their demands is stricter gun laws in Chicago.

                            Pssssst: many of your guns aren't coming from there, and also, how about curbing gang bullsh*?

                              Considering the last two years, Chicago should put up a wall and make Indiana pay for it.
