   Racist statues suck, but racist *statutes* are far worse. There are tens of thousands of crimes used to harass people at will, so many that even the federal government has lost count. When everyone is technically a criminal, they can bother whoever they choose.

   Racists hide behind all these laws to legitimize their actions.

   Want to fix it?

   End the war on drugs. Repeal all gun control laws. Strike every malum prohibitum law from the books. End occupational licensing. Stop taxing everything. End traffic and equipment stops for anything not an immediate and serious danger to the public (car is literally on fire, seriously reckless acts).

   We have to deny them cover. Only then will racism in policing end.

   Happy 76th birthday, Mom. You are truly an angel. I miss you. I hope you and grandmom are throwing a big party in Heaven.

   It must be all those extra virus particles that all the Trumpies are exhaling into the atmosphere (’cause they ain’t following orders and wearing their masks!) that are holding the heat in.

   COVID-19 and carbon dioxide and methane from cow farts and natural gas wells all combine together to do this. Plus they all destroy the ozone layer, then rain down on the oceans and make all the plastic waste there super-duper-extra-toxic.

   We said this, therefore it’s true.

   PS: It’s racism, sexism, misogyny and homophobia to deny this.

   PPS: Don’t forget to blame Israel somehow.

   I was kind of expecting this from The Duke of New York’s astroturf slush fund.

   What are Ronchetti’s chances of actually beating New Mexico’s Poster Child for Nepotism?
