I think Trump has a coke problem

[eCat]

yea, Hillary ain't sharing it

[bluetick]

Hillary looked like she could go another 90 minutes easy, whereas Trump limped in on the rim. Funny, in light of the Donald's bluster about her lack of stamina.

Heh...she wasn't even gonna clear her throat last night. Even if she had to answer every question with "Bababooey" as her final word in order for her to not even sniffle, she'd do it.

There's no telling how many hours of tapes of past debates the Clinton team has pored over in preparation for this, not on the policy issues but just in terms of body language while the other guy is talking. "See what Reagan did here, try to do that. See what Nixon did here, don't do that." Maybe the only off the cuff line she gave last night was about Trump criticizing her for preparing for the debates, which she quickly related to being prepared to be president, but even that might've been planned...

That was planned as much as anything else was. And it was smart that they put that in there because it's probably the most important point that was made all night.

My favorite part of the debate was Trump saying, with great conviction, that Rosie O'Donnell deserved to be called the names he called her.

Eleven days later, Rakeyia Scott voluntarily dismissed the order against her husband, writing, “He is no longer a threat to me and my family.”

But three days before she got the order, Keith Scott had kicked her, punched their 8-year-old in the head three times and threatened to kill her with the gun, she had written.

“He said he is a ‘killer’ and we should know that,” she wrote.

She said the man she’d been married to since she was 18 did not have a gun permit and was a felon, having been incarcerated from April 2004 to April 2011.

She checked a box saying her husband had threatened her with the gun before.


The gun recovered at the scene of Keith Lamont Scott’s shooting was stolen, then later sold to the 43-year-old, multiple media outlets reported.

According to WSOC, the gun was reported stolen after a burglary. The suspect in that case — who has not been identified — reportedly told officials with the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, and Firearms (ATF) that he then sold the gun to Scott.

The suspect in the burglary case is in custody, WTVD reported.

Detailed, and balanced, (long) article about Marilyn Mosby and Freddie Gray. I always knew this to be the case, but I never thought someone would say it, directly.

“It’s a fractured relationship,” the cop at my house the other night said with a shrug. “It’s absolutely been fractured, and I won’t say it can’t be repaired, but I think it’s going to be a very, very long time.” As she was preparing to leave, I asked this officer if she was willing to admit that the conflict with Mosby, and the mutual mistrust, has led police officers to pull back from their essential duties. One of the most discouraging statistics in Baltimore has been a 63 percent increase in homicides last year. As I asked about this, I watched the cop’s face twist into a frown, which at first I mistook for a sign that she was offended by the question. Then she nodded.

“Absolutely,” she said. “You should get used to 300 murders a year.”
