While I think that anybody whose home was illegally vandalized has every right to be pissed, we usually expect somebody like a high-profile lawyer in extremely high-profile historical cases to have enough personal self-discipline to refrain from throwing temper tantrums at random reporters who were AFAIK in no way involved with the vandalism. That’s Trump-type behavior. Other victims of such vandalism, including [Nancy Pelosi whose San Francisco home was defaced with graffiti and a decapitated pig’s head earlier this year](https://6abc.com/trump-impeachment-attorney-michael-van-der-veen-home-vandalized-chester-county-west-whiteland-township-president-donald-impeached/10338751/), seem able to control their reactions at least to the extent of not taking out their anger on random strangers in entirely unrelated situations. ---

> [@Atamasama](#): > > I’m not surprised though. There has been a lot of pressure locally here in Washington for cops to stop using non-lethal methods to deal with protestors. Things like tear gas, mace, bean bag guns, and so on. So they are probably resorting to squirting people with water which obviously doesn’t really do anything. Can’t think of much that’s more non-lethal than a squirt gun. ---

I suspect whatever paste or pus or powder acting as a stabilizer to give him a semi-solid form could be water-soluble, and thus may cause him to melt when given enough moisture. Someone should probably test the theory, but make sure you aren’t wearing nice clothes at the time. ---

We fortunately don’t see too much of Miss Palin these days, probably owing to the fact that her fake piety and virtue was exposed for being the scam that it, and right wing virtue, is. Shit, I would say that her life is like a reality TV show gone off the rails, but if you were to use her real-life family dramas as a script, reality TV program producers would think it’s over the top even for reality/trash TV. Palin amplifies idiocy by essentially celebrating it. She was basically at the vanguard at the right wing’s social media-era anti-intellectualism. She typifies all of what is wrong about today’s conservatives: she’s never wrong even when facts overwhelmingly demonstrate that she is. She drops misleading posts on FB or twitter and then drops out of sight to admire the information storm she creates. But where she’s most like conservatives is her victim complex. She can dish out the insults but she sure as shit can’t take even a fraction of it in return.
