Tim Scott On Qualified Immunity | Talking Points Memo

Same to my eyes though he had a lot of movement each step. When he has come down the staircase on AF1, his behavior there looks like he is intimidated. Or maybe has a touch of vertigo. Beyond that bizarre drinking behavior, what is really interesting is he had to quickly respond to people making comment. He is really touchy about this.

That’s a statistical tie.

Of all the things Trump should be ashamed of—and they are legion—losing Arkansas might actually get him there.

It is going to get harder for him to slide malfeasance into the mix and claim a win at this point. The margins are getting too narrow and some likely to be upside down for him.

It is pretty well-known that Trump has a fear of staircases. He seems to always worry that he’ll end up going ass over appetite and being an object of derision.

As if that weren’t already true.

Said a White House official: “This helps keep the president from flying into a rage as much as he otherwise would.”

Why not just allow him to “let it all out”, “vent his spleen,” “take arms against a sea of troubles.” In short, let the mofo crash and burn.

Then it’s a good thing there are going to be a noticeably fewer GOP senators come January 2021.

Then the grift ends and Miller finds out he has not a single marketable job skill.

Maybe a mani-pedi, an apple-tini and a big cry.

Since I’m not black I think it would offensive for me to use the term “Uncle Tom”, so I’ll just refer to Sen. Tim Scott as “Auntie Fa”.

Of course he’s unconcerned. He wears his invisible mantle of white privilege with sublime unconsciousness.

Sell him for parts in China.

If taking away qualified immunity gives cops reason to consider their actions then take it away.

Don’t tell me the GOP is the party of personal responsibility. Not if they immunize murderous behavior.

Did anyone expect Timmy to stand up to Moscow Mitch?

Right. That’s my point. The different reactions between them is striking and telling.

Can we just say for the record, since it is being uttered, any real reform of police and any brutal means they may employ is a poison pill for the GOP.

What a intriguing line at the end of a Miller chapter in a history of the Trump presidency.

They cleaned out his desk, took back his keys, killed his clearances and removed his prize Goebbels posters from the wall. And when all was done, quietly sold him for parts in China.

Too late. Time to take your medicine. Let the juries determine, on a case by case basis, if anything of the sort is required. The Police Union actions, as well as the lack of action by clean police who knew what is going on and remained silent, preclude any such walking back now. Take on the GOP as well as Senator Tim Scott. The Republicans want him to take the lead, but he should catch for this too. Sorry, too late.
