OMG ... I am just watching the first episode of American Horror Story: Cult (currently premieres in germany)
I have to admit that it is extremly frightening from the first minute on ... the first minutes are taken up by the election campaign of Donald Trump and his election victory
Even the subsequent minutes of AHS 7.1 don't manage to produce the same level of fear, as the first minutes do.
Kudos to the makers of AHS for selecting such a contemporary and frightening topic for their newest seasonTamsin (Lost Girl): "I am the Harbinger of Death. I arrive on winds of blessed air. Air that you no longer deserve."

Only a small fraction of ALL American gun deaths are caused by cops. But among those, blacks are killed at more than double the frequency expected by demographics (2.5X according to most studies). The fact that many victims (of all races) are unarmed, yet they are killed rather than disabled, is a huge red flag.
Those "few" police killings (over 1,000/year, with roughly 250 of the victims being black), and the fact that they are almost uniformly without legal consequences, even for the most egregious killings, is the reason Black Lives Matter came into existence.
Michael Brelo is a perfect example. After a 2012 car chase, Brelo and other Cleveland police officers fired 137 bullets at Timothy Russell and Malissa Williams. Brelo shot 49 of those bullets, meaning that he took the time to reload. Twice. When he fired the last 15 rounds, Brelo was standing on top of the car, where he could probably see that the couple was unarmed and likely already dead.
Brelo was found not guilty on all charges.

The vast majority of citizen deaths by police are legal and justified. But there are still rogue cops who overreact, and the fact that they are highly unlikely to be charged, and exremely unlikely to be convicted, even in the face of overwhelming video and eyewitness evidence, is a problem for our society.

I don't think the people or institutions on the list never lie.
But all in all I think they are more trustworthy than Trump (who since taking office has a list of documeted lies that gets longer and longer an who also was known before that for his rather dubious relationship with "truth" and "honesty" ).
Especially I more trust the evidences that are uncovered by Muellers prosecutors, than Trumps allegatins that they are all fabrications and everything is just a witch hunt aimed at him
Also, regarding the evidence for the existence for climate change, I thrust the climate scientists a thousand times more, than the belief of Trump and his new EPA director, that it all is a hoax.
Especially as publishing of papers in scientific fields like these is subject to peer-review processes (something about which, I guess, Trump never has heard anything ... and also wouldn't understand if one tried to explain it to him)Last edited by Proteus_MST; November 12, 2017, 17:03.Tamsin (Lost Girl): "I am the Harbinger of Death.

Trump lies too. I'm not saying he doesn't. But he's not when he calls those people liars. That's the truth. And it absolutely is a witch hunt. Too bad we can't get any liberals prosecuted. Not yet.I drank beer. I like beer. I still like beer. ... Do you like beer Senator?
