Ana joins Cenk for SCS. A man that stabbed his former Boy Scout leader to death has had his charges lowered since he admitted to the crime. The killing was based in the leader’s past actions of sexually assaulted and raping the boy since age 8. When he relayed his story in the court, causing the prosecutors to lower the charges, many applauded his actions. A Kansas woman suffering from extreme Crohn’s disease started taking cannabis oil, which turned her life around. When her son debated anti-drug advocates at his school, citing his mother’s success story, the administrators started the process of finding about her use, and took her kids away. She’s facing 30 years for drug possession. Ana is annoyed that the president is too timid to take any action against these useless punishments. Rick Ross has been arrested for aggravated assault and kidnapping after he and his bodyguard took a man into a guest house and beat the hell out of him.

Clothing retailer Zara has been identified as a company that systematically takes part in discrimination and racism towards employees and customers of color. The results are particular to the NYC stores. A group of teenagers have developed a condom that detects STIs before having intercourse. A small town in Brazil feverishly celebrates the Confederacy and the Confederate flag. Many modern day citizens are descendants of fleeing Confederates after they lost the Civil War, and after many years of expanding, some residents are Black and mixed but still celebrate the flag. They have no political affiliation to the roots of the flag in America.

  1. To be fair Cenk, Blowy McSaxophone, “didn’t inhale” depending on what your definition of is is

  2. So Cenk has never heard about the real Rick Ross…..Someone needs to set up this up for TYT interviews with the real Rick Ross. He was promoting his documentary a year ago so I’m sure he would love to do it. The book Dark Alliance tells a great story about Rick Ross’s related to Iran Contra. 20 hr audiobook on Audible.

  3. I love Ana, BUT I get so annoyed at the frequency with which she checks herself out in the monitor.

  4. Lots of racist in the US are mixed. We are just so racist in the country we can’t admit it. No one run around saying how Irish Obama is (not saying he is racist, just an example) . I wish for a day when we don’t label ppl.
    On Job applications when Race is asked, I check other and right in Human. Maybe it cost me a few interviews, but I have a job, and am putting my money were my mouth is

  5. Crones disease needs a new name. Crone make one think of a narly old lady and might make it sound funny. I vote for renaming it. . Some times I forget I am not live tweeting. must learn to control my comments in this forum. too much me yacking

  6. They know that “Rick Ross” the rapper was a correctional officer, and tried to hide it, but not that he changed his name to Rick Ross because he was trying to impersonate the drug dealer Rick Ross (whom he thought never would get out of jail to debunk his phony ass)?
    The real Rick Ross is (nowadays) an awesome guy. Check him out on Joe Rogan’s podcast, especially his first visit. He’s got an amazing story to tell (parts of which the fake ass rapper is trying to claim his own).

  7. anyone know if the charleston shooter made bail? i cant find any reliable info. there is an article that says a rich white racist paid his bail.

    1. He did NOT get bail. There was an internet blog that said he did, but it was untrue.

      The judge imposed $1 million bail on a weapons charge, saying he didn’t have authority to rule on the 9 deaths during that particular proceeding.

      The shooter remains in jail. He will not be given bail on the murder charges.

  8. Rick Ross is a reference to a real life criminal who is accredited for spreading crack to America. There are plenty of rappers that use the name of notorious criminals (Irv Gotti, Pablo Escobar, Little Ceasars, etc). So the correctional officer turned rapper chose a name thatwas known as a crime boss to give him immediate “street cred”.
