At some point I can't continue to believe this is incompetence. They have money to pay off politicians, so I'm sure they pay the regulators too. I guess it's too much to expect anyone will have charges filed against them for destroying evidence.

They've been drinking from the same well their entire lives that's readily replenished by the ultra-wealthy.

How is a balloon launch meaningful or helpful? Do a collection for the families and plant flowers or trees in a local park. Jesus, is it that hard to think through?

My advice to this lady: stop watching Fox and start thinking about what it could be like for other people who are experiencing similar difficulties. That's called empathy.

I wouldn't rule out outright lying. The police know the media vigorously pursues any crime story, unfounded or not, and factual follow up may or may not happen. And a lot of cops LOVE to grandstand and get that super-hero treatment on TV.

US media generally sucks, but I do love ProPublica's in-depth reporting. They really care about getting their facts correct.

Conservatives still crying bitter tears of defeat.😭

Off the top of my head: My trans friend, who needed to quit her TX teaching job because of the constant death threats. The school basically told her she was a liability, although having worked there for several years with an exemplary teaching record.

Where is the proof you need? It's not really necessary for the rest of us when we can see for ourselves how conservatives behave and treat others every day.

Unfortunately for me I live in an ocean of conservatism and people don't bother holding back because they assume I feel the same way.

Boomers also handed over vast power to corporations in the name of their almighty god, capitalism; creating the billionaire class that sends dark money to any candidate who supports their investor's portfolios and unchecked growth.

Boomers and corporations quite literally made it legal to poison the environment, kill off habitats, and change the climate. To the point people are dying and they still don't care.

Boomers were called the Me Generation by their own parents.

I was one of those Democrats who didn't vote regularly in PA.

I'm now committed to show at every election for as long as I'm alive.

Why the memorial library if he lives forever?

Good luck with that. I used to run a PA trail that posted warning signs to take precautions against being shot by hunters. The wording made it sound like it was my responsibility to dodge the bullets.

Toomey is a douche canoe who can't stop loving on Trump.

Edit: I don't doubt the old guard Republicans like Toomey have nothing but disdain for someone as crass as Trump. But Toomey never stopped supporting Trump era policies with his votes, or cowardly abstained instead of doing the right thing. He might as well buy the hat and go full MAGA.

No reason not to do it again at the next town. What are local politicians doing about this bullshit besides taking bribes?

I will be buying this print.

Do not let polls stop you from voting. They can be wrong or manipulated to affect voter turnout.

Everyone should vote.

The article is fairly clear that this is a real event that happened only a few weeks ago. It's not like OP is spreading rumors. And how is it a "political" post if it depicts current events in PA factually?

LOL- got mine today and assumed it was a big fat lie. Thanks for confirming.

We can all agree murderes and rapists deserve to be in jail a long time, sometimes forever. The point is most people there are in for a crime that wasn't violent. Those people need to be able to work and function in society after their release. Even most murdurers and rapists will walk amongst us again. It doesn't serve society to release them with nothing to lose or without a method to occupy their time in a beneficial way. US prisons are quite literally creating more criminals.

Lancaster, PA-- lots of god restaurants, shopping, central market, rooftop bars, antiquing, and many artists--both established and new. Short drive to many more historic sites and several hiking options.
