Ty Cobb's hangin' up the spikes. And look who might be replacing him...

Trump to Add Clinton Impeachment Lawyer Emmet Flood to Replace Ty Cobb

WASHINGTON — President Trump plans to hire Emmet T. Flood, the veteran Washington lawyer who represented Bill Clinton during his impeachment, to replace Ty Cobb, the White House lawyer who has taken the lead in dealing with the special counsel investigation, who is retiring, according to two people briefed on the matter.

In a phone interview, Mr. Cobb said he informed the president weeks ago that he wanted to retire. He said he planned to stay at the White House, likely through the end of the month, to help Mr. Flood transition into the new job.

“It has been an honor to serve the country in this capacity at the White House,” he said. “I wish everybody well moving forward.”

Mr. Flood is expected to take a more adversarial approach to the investigation than Mr. Cobb, who had pushed Mr. Trump to strike a cooperative tone. Mr. Flood initially spoke with the White House last summer about working for the president, but the talks ultimately fell apart because Mr. Flood did not want to deal with Mr. Trump’s longtime New York lawyer, Marc E. Kasowitz, who was overseeing the president’s dealings with the special counsel at the time.

Mr. Flood’s hiring has not been made final, the people cautioned, noting Mr. Trump’s practice of reneging on personnel decisions after they are reported in the press.

Some snarkiness there at the end from the #FakeNews Failing New York Times!

1. First off, yes. If police were the only indicator, men would be better off than women. Also, it is proportionate. The rate is accounted for crimes. It is also hard to explain away the fact that black people are arrested falsely way more.
2. It's overall. Why would the certain drug matter?
3. Males commit more crimes. Now, if males committed, say, 60% of crimes, and made up 75% of the prison population, then that is a mirror of the race situation.
4. Redlining 100% existed, and 100% still affects us. This is not up for debate. It is a fact. Redlining also was 100% based on race.
5. What? This is a well-known fact.

Yes. You are. You can be privileged by multiple things, lol.
This is pointless. I gave you facts you gave me feelings. My facts don't care about your feelings.
WHAT? What 'facts' did you give me? What feelings did I give?
Wow you need professional help. Honestly. You keep talking about the past. You must be a Steelers fan.

#1) I told you that incarceration 100% mirrors arrests in crimes. African Americans commit more crimes. Police aren't racist. Men commit more crimes so men are arrested more frequently. Police are not sexist.

#2) I don't do drugs but stats say it does. Meth is a white man's drug.

#3) Nope. Already addressed in point #1.

#4) Exited = past. It was based on $$ not race. Dr. J had no problem getting financing.

#5) Nope. I am privileged because I had two parents. You are privileged to be educated by me.

I am a Chiefs fan. Fuckin hate the Steelers.

#1) Yeah but that isn't true.
  • Between 2005 and 2008, 80% of NYPD stops were of blacks and Latinos. Only 10% of stops were of whites.
  • 85% of those frisked were black; only 8% were white. (Blacks and Latinos were frisked 50% of the time; whites, only 34%.)
  • Under the NYPD’s controversial “stop-and-frisk” program, in every year since 2009, 87% of those stopped-and-frisked were black or Latino. 10% were white.[5
Also you ignored the point that innocent black people are arrested more. Explain that away please.

#2) Again, why does it matter? We are talking about drugs overall. We don't have to deal in absolutes.

#3) No, you said that the crimes and the prison lines up, but again it does not. % crimes and %of prison population are not equal. Black people commit 40-50% of crimes and account for over 60% of the prison population.

#4) Existed, not Exited. And it was based on race. The creator of it specifically said it was about race.

#5) Way to ignore the question. Now show me a statistic that says that on average, black people are wealthier than white people.
#1) If you commit crimes you'll be arrested more and with more arrests come more errors. NY is a Liberal state. Maybe you Leftists are racist?
#2) I don't do drugs but Meth is a white man's choice. If I did drugs I could tell you why.
#3) They do line up. Google it.
#4) Existed is in the past. And it was because those races lived in less affluent areas. Again, do you think Marcus Allen had a tough time getting a loan?
#5) I never said that. I take every person and situation on its own. LeBron is wealthier than me. Bill Gates is wealthier than LeBron.

Mr. Bojangles

Just Like Tom Thumb's Blues

Read this profile a few years ago about Nina Simone (born Eunice Kathleen Waymon) in The New Yorker:

She was five years old when the woman for whom her mother cleaned house offered to pay for lessons with a local piano teacher, Muriel Mazzanovich. The British-born Miz Mazzy, as Eunice called her—and also, later on, “my white momma”—inspired her love of Bach and her plans to become a great and famous classical pianist. Giving a recital in the local library, at eleven, Eunice saw her parents being removed from their front-row seats to make room for a white couple. She had been schooled by Miz Mazzy in proper deportment, but she nevertheless stood up and announced that if people wanted to hear her play they’d better let her parents sit back down in the front row. There were some laughs, but her parents were returned to their seats. The next day, she remembered, she felt “as if I had been flayed, and every slight, real or imagined, cut me raw. But, the skin grew back a little tougher, a little less innocent, and a little more black.”

11 years old!

#1) OK, so arresting more people just because others of the same race commit more crimes is the definition of institutional racism. More arrests = more errors does not line up. Give me an example of your logic please.

#2) Yeah, but again, why does this matter to the discussion?


#3) I literally did as I was writing the post and I shared what I found. I have provided evidence, if you disagree, please dispute.


#4) Well, yeah. But again, white privilege means that all other things even, white people have an advantage. Again, we are not dealing in absolutes. It’s crazy talk to suggest that all white people are better off than black people. And it still affects us. That reminds me of that scene in the Lion King where Rafiki hits Simba and Simba is like, ‘What was that for,’ and Rafiki is like ‘It doesn’t matter. It’s in the past,’ and Simba is like, ‘Yeah but it still hurts.’


#5) OK. Yes. PLEASE, let me clarify one more time. MY ARGUMENT is that white people have a systematic advantage. All other things being equal, white people are better off. You seem to think that I am arguing that all white people are better off and that no black person has it good. NO. THAT IS NOT MY ARGUMENT.

#1) If you commit more crimes there will be more arrests. What part of that math is beyond you?

#2) What?

#3) Fake News. Stats correlate almost exactly with arrests and prison sentences.

#4) I disagree, 100%. People with two parents have an advantage. I have told you this 100x. Black people with two parents have a significant advantage over white people with one parent. Learn English.

#5) I 100% disagree with you. See #4. By that line of thinking Jewish people have a distinct advantage over non-Jews. It is just not true. But Jewish people for the most part have two parents and hence more are successful. Same with Asian Americans.

Instead of blaming race and skin tone, concentrate on culture.
