A newly released police video shows Oakland County, Michigan judicial candidate Julie McDonald asking for special treatment from a police officer who had just arrested her for driving while intoxicated.
Video from inside the car then shows McDonald talking to the officer about how shes running for public office and that being arrested for drunk driving would harm her prospects of being elected.
Im running for an office right now, she said. This will f*ck me up really bad.
Theres not a lot of discretion I have with something like this, the officer replied.

And she's right, this will f*ck her up badly. She should have been right up front w/ the voters and apologized for her mess up, but I'll bet she won't.

Go grab uBlock Origin if you can. If you are on mobile get Firefox for mobile and you can install it there, too.

(14,494 posts)Every page typically tries to load and play FOUR autoplay videos, all simultaneously. Just plain stupid. I use only a desktop with DSL service and this mimics what I see on most Twitter pages where every video I scroll by starts to play.
Why can't they allow the users to decide when/what they want to play?
They've lost me as a supporter because of this issue......
