Posted by kmoj — Fri, 4 Dec 2020 13:25 GMT

Barack Obama endured one of the most difficult days of his post-presidency on Wednesday after progressives, activists and blue check social media influencers blasted him over his criticism around the call to defund the police. While the blows were severe, the call-outs were legitimate. In an interview with Snapchat, Obama pontificated that the "snappy slogan" alienates people. "You lost a big audience the minute you say it, which makes it a lot less likely that you're actually going to get the changes you want done," he said....

Posted by kmoj — Thu, 3 Dec 2020 09:51 GMT

For someone whose job entails distributing accurate information, Kayleigh McEnany has never been concerned with facts and figures, much like her predecessors. The White House press secretary blew a loud dog whistle on Wednesday when she insinuated that the summer's unrest over police violence against Black communities during the pandemic, is worse than gathering for a holiday party... during the pandemic. "If you can loot businesses, burn down building, engage in protests, you can also go to a Christmas party...& you can do it responsibly," she said according to a tweet from White House pool reporter Yamiche Alcindor....

Pennsylvania Supreme Court Seems Open To Bill Cosby's Appeal At 'Prior Bad Acts' Hearing

Posted by kmoj — Wed, 2 Dec 2020 15:06 GMT

Bill Cosby was celebrating on Tuesday what could become a major victory after the Pennsylvania Supreme Court heard arguments over whether certain witnesses at the trial that led to his conviction for sexual assault should have been allowed to testify against him. The hearing centered on "prior bad acts" testimony from accusers who were not plaintiffs in the case that stemmed from the disgraced comedian's own deposition that eventually prompted criminal charges. The Pennsylvania Supreme Court justices seemingly took turns challenging the prosecution's claims that there is legal precedent allowing such testimony about "prior bad acts" that ultimately compelled a jury to convict Cosby....

Gabriel Sterling, the Voting Systems Manager for Georgia's Secretary of State's Office, delivered an emotional speech that was at once a condemnation of Trump and a plea for the violence to end.
