Then again, it's refreshing to see a story about a heroic cop.

Those are the posters that I am most inclined to believe look like their avatars.

Wikipedia credits (or discredits) him with killing 8 people.  However, whether the number is 4 or 8, it is worth remembering that many, many, many people have extremely hard lives and face abject poverty and still get through without killing anyone.
 
I have no doubt that Billy had a hard and sad life, but that is true of most murders.  That doesn't erase their crimes and make them decent people.  I wouldn't cast him into the deep pit, but I refuse to romanticize murders.  To do so is an insult to the truly decent people who muddle through hard lives without leaving widows and orphans in there wake.

Along those lines, here's a thoughtful and dispassionate examination of the psychology and sociology of American "white" identity: American white people really hate being called 'white people'

P***** Riot Disrupts World Cup Final 

I think they would have voiced that kind of opposition with any (D) candidate winning. That's just the game. Much as Democrats would have opposed Kasich or any of the others.
 
Granted, most racists comments I see are from right-leaning folks. Still, there is a gulf between "Most racists are conservatives" and "Most conservatives are racists". Much as there is a gulf between
 
After all, Conservative's sure like Tim Scott.

We put up with George W for 8 years, complained but ultimately accepted it.  So apparently this is something that we can do, and have done in the past.
 
Trump is different. 
 
I could write books on why Trump is different than a crappy president like George W, who was very crappy indeed, but I don't think going on and on about Trump's myriad of flaws would do anything beyond cause your friend to entrench further.   So just let your friend know that we have been there and done that, but find Trump to be a horse of a different color.

Hillary did her level best.  She didn't run a perfect campaign, but nobody ever does.  She won the popular vote, despite interference from a foreign power, and a press that knowingly allowed itself to be a giant mouthpiece for the Kremlin.  Hillary can sleep with a clear conscious.  None of this is her fault.

Oh, McDonald's donates hardly any of their own money to the Ronald McDonald House.  However, that is different than saying that they steal the money from the donation boxes.  The money you put in the donation box will go to the cause, just don't expect any corporate matching funds for your donation.  Neither the corporate office or the franchises give a bleep about the charity.

1-year-old has his day in immigration court as administration totally misses deadline to reunite children under the age of 5 with their parents

Well, now we know what the whole breast feeding thing was suppose to distract us from.

Well, in fairness Odin did have four kings.  How was he to know the front giant had a straight flush?

You were the best of us.

Beyond that, the executive order, like so many other plans of the administration, is probably illegal.  
 
Trump's executive order would have the children detained with their parents.  However, in 2014 a federal judge declared that children can not be detained in jail-like settings even with their parents.  This is what led the Obama administration to letting both the parents and children go free while awaiting their asylum hearing.  It is this "catch and release policy to illegal immigrants" over which folks at Fox and Friends got our president all worked up about, precipitating the whole lets take the children away so that we can lock the parents up policy.
 
In face of public outcry, Trump is just reverting to the detaining children with their parents policy that the federal judge already ruled to be illegal.  Having successfully come up with a even more inhumane way of treating the children of asylum seeker who enter the country with their parent than locking them up together, does not make the policy of locking the children up in jail suddenly legal.
