These are scary times in trump's America. Consider the following:A woman is given a five year sentence for voting illegally in Texas back in 2016. Five years!
The reason that she got jammed up was because she allegedly voted while being a felon. Still, you have to wonder, would something like this have happened if we weren't living in trump's America?
Then there is the state killing of an unarmed black man in California. When asked about it the White House said that it [along with other state killings of men of color] is "a local matter" and they pretty much washed their hands of all of these sad episodes. This is the same White House that took the tragic killing of a white woman in California, and made a political issue out of it, while spinning a narrative about bad immigrants. They made her killing a national issue. It was, and still is, red meat for their rabid base.
Meanwhile, innocent black men are still being unjustifiably killed by members of law enforcement, and this president still chooses to say -and do- nothing. Heck he won't even allow his attorney general to address the issue.
Today the Baton Rouge police department released the video of the Alton Sterling killing. Sadly, we can hear the "trained" police officer calling Mr. Sterling a "stupid mother fucker", right after taking his life.
Make no mistake, that police officer knows where he is.
He is living in trump's America, and he is acting accordingly.
My God that's a harrowing video! My God!
ReplyDeleteBy law they did do the legal thing, because they did use the taser and he seemed not to be fazed or to submit, he did also seem confused, so the next step, legally is to use the gun, BUT, the thing is that if he had been a white man, as many a video I've seen, they would have given him every chance in the book until he was arrested, he would certainly not have died if he would have been the same color as them. But, it seems a big black man has to obey immediately, be submitted, subjugated immediately,or else there is an immediate death sentence attached. That's where the problem is...and it's a biggie...
I have no problem with Trump making Kathryn Steinle‘s death into a national issue. I object to how he made it into a national issue.
ReplyDeleteThe guy who shot Steinle had come across the border and been deported over and over and over. If I recall, he had been deported at least five or six times and was back in the U.S. yet again at the time he shot her. That means there’s a serious hole somewhere in our immigration process, and immigration is a federal responsibility, so it’s perfectly fine for the president to address this point.
What is not okay is Trump using that case to imply not only that keeping that man out of the country would have prevented Steinle’s death (true), but that deporting illegal immigrants in general will lower our nation’s homicide rate (racist bullshit, since falsely presumes that illegal immigrants — and especially non-white ones — are more violent than American citizens).
Anyway, none of this has any bearing on the federal government’s duty to oversee local law enforcement officers and guarantee they are not violating the Constitution and federal law. But we knew Trump intended to blow that stuff off when he nominated Confederate Jeff Sessions as attorney general, thereby making the DOJ indistinguishable from the FOP (Fraternal Order of Police).
Seriously, all Sessions ever seems to do is give speeches to cops, telling them how great they are and to keep on being heroes. So Suckabee making this policy official at a press conference really tells us nothing we didn’t already know.
What's the beef?
ReplyDeleteThis is not Trump's America. He will be gone soon enough, and his time in office will be seen in retrospect as that time we fucked up and let the goddamn Republicans elect a total corrupt moron with the help of the goddamn Russians.
ReplyDeleteHe's a buffoon, but mostly he's just letting the goddamn Republicans do the disgusting shit they always want to do.
Look for that to come to a screeching halt in about nine months, and after that, it's all downhill for Fergus.
We will measure the damage he did when we are tasked with fixing it, like we always are with Republican presidents, but we will fix it, and things will get better.
-Doug in Oakland
I don't know Doug, there are a lot of people pleased with the job trump is doing and with the state of the media in a way they are correct. They know nothing of the scandals or missteps he has made. I wouldn't be surprised if he makes a good showing in 2020 because the Dems have a habit of messing up elections and allowing the Republicans to completely roll over them on every issue.
DeleteWow. After the release of the latest Alton Sterling video, I have concluded two things:
ReplyDelete1) The investigators were telling the truth about the bodycams. Or at least they were about the one that captured this video, because it was completely obstructed and didn’t capture the last moments when the shooting occurred. So it is of no help in determining whether Sterling tried to pull his gun on the officers.
2) Those cops have never even heard of de-escalation techniques. They freaked out and became incredibly aggressive from the first moment they encountered Sterling. Even if it were true Sterling did try to pull his gun and the shooting was justifiable on self-defense terms (and I’m not saying I know that happened), it seems like the encounter would never have gotten so out of hand in the first place if cops had made any effort at all to calm him down. They took it to DEFCON ONE, instantly, the moment Sterling showed even the tiniest bit of resistance.
The cop who did the shooting has now been fired. Hopefully, he is forced to find another line of work, because he has no business being a police officer. That much is certain.
No Russian ever called me a racist...or a wingnut.
ReplyDelete"Look for that to come to a screeching halt in about nine months"
ReplyDeleteWhy? Are you pregnant Doug?
Upvote to Doug’s positive post. 👍🏽
ReplyDeleteLet’s just HOPE AND PRAY he’s correct!
No, I'm a man. You are about to lose an election that will change the control of congress in January of '19, which if you could count you would know is nine months from now.
ReplyDeleteAs for Crystal Mason, perhaps if she had been a white Republican she would have gotten off with probation, like Terri Rote in Polk County, Iowa, who voted for Fergus twice because she believed "the polls were rigged" like Fergus said at his rallies, or Steve Curtis who filled out his ex-wife's ballot, forged her signature, and mailed it in.
Probation, a fine, community service. No jail time.
But now they have a black person who voted illegally, so they have to make as big of a deal about it as they can to recharge their "voter fraud" lie/excuse for losing the popular vote.
It would be really pathetic if they weren't coming off of a successful theft of an election, and damaging the lives of the people they use for their propaganda.
-Doug in Oakland
”No Russian ever called me a racist...or a wingnut.”
ReplyDeleteWell, let’s see. Perhaps that’s because Russians are racist wingnuts themselves.
Okay, not all of them. But a lot of them.
Hella homophobic and sexist, too. In 2014, Russia passed a law banning “gay propaganda.” Last year, they passed a law decriminalizing “mild wife-beating.”
And then there was this week, when Putin’s spokesman described Harvey Weinstein’s accusers as “prostitutes” who were following a “fashion trend” by saying mean things about poor Harvey.
So Russia is full of racist, sexist, homophobic dickheads. And alcoholism is rampant there, too. Basically, Russia is the Alabama of Europe. You, and all of this blog’s trolls, should move there. You’d fit right in.
And PX: Yes, it is possible he could win a second term. That still doesn't make this Trump's America.
ReplyDeleteThat hard-core Republican base has always been around, and although they are acting shittier than usual, the Pig People are a feature of the American political and social landscape.
KKKluckers, Birchers, Moral Majority, Tea Party, whatever they're calling themselves this time, we still have to deal with them. That's the deal of the USA, we have to deal with them, and they have to deal with us.
We outnumber them, and demographically that trend is continuing.
They deserve to be represented in the government just like we do.
I just want the numbers to more accurately reflect the population, and for them to quit cheating so damn much.
Perhaps we can address those two issues when it's our turn to run things again, while we're repairing the damage this time. We had to wait until the economy was out of freefall last time, so we didn't get all of our agenda passed.
So worst case scenario it's six years instead of two. We'll live through it, or most of us will. We've made it through worse.
I'm doing what I can to not let the bastards sap our momentum with their idiocy, and while nothing is certain in politics, every time so far that I've worried we wouldn't show up, we outperformed expectations instead. So while I won't let up even a little, I will actually believe this is happening, because it fucking is.

Love to the Field,
ReplyDeleteI am SMH about this voter fraud conviction in Texas. Texas is a good land. It has crunchy republicans who actually give Christianity a good name. It has had a forward thinking energy policy somehow promoted right under the noses of the stupid ruling classes. Lots of friendly people with good taste in music. But it is not turning blue fast enough. All of the dickheads from Southern California are moving... Well, they're not moving into the tony suburbs of Denton and Dallas, I can tell you that much.
Thank you for taking the time to mention what is happening in Sacramento. Readers, check into blacklivesmatter.com for a faster update on what is happening now. It's helpful to the national discussion. The California AG is involved as well. There will be a trial.
The enemies will only use this unjust verdict and sentence given to the Texas woman to somehow justify Trump's call for greater scrutiny to uncover voter fraud.
Blaxit in 2020 !
ReplyDelete"(racist bullshit, since falsely presumes that illegal immigrants — and especially non-white ones — are more violent than American citizens)."
ReplyDeleteThey're far more violent than Americans, but less violent than African-Americans. They make rates go down some because they dilute African crime, but total numbers go up.
Americans benefit when any black or brown is sent packing. Numbers matter.
"You are about to lose an election that will change the control of congress in January of '19, which if you could count you would know is nine months from now."
The election is on November 6, which is now just over 7 months away. Do please wait 9 months to cast your ballot. The United States can do without weighing your anti-American opinions.
The drip-drip of scandals coming out is accelerating. There probably won't be a national Democratic party by this coming November, and lots of state parties may be out of business also. Take out the crooks and there isn't much left.
"So Russia is full of racist, sexist, homophobic dickheads."
In other words, sane, sensible people who normal Americans sympathize with totally. Your inability to recognize yourselves as the crazy ones is part of your pathology.
Your white people will still be a minority by 2040,this is all that counts!!

Stephon Clark shot 8 times in the back and side by cops. His crime- being a black man holding a cell phone.
ReplyDeleteCops of today appear to be over stressed and are trigger happy. Most get away with shooting unarmed blacks.
Then you see on videos there could be several cops yelling at the victim so he/she does not know which one to obey and the others open fire because they weren't obeyed.
Drumpfuck and stoopid fucking wingnuts are not helping the situation. More guns will not solve the problem. There are too many racist cops.

ReplyDeleteWhite officer that shot Alton sterling was fired and the other cop suspended.......finally.
ReplyDeleteWell Judge, people were punished for voting illegally in President Obama's America so I wouldn't expect anything less. Come on my brother, its time to stop tilting at windmills join the rest of us who've left the Plantation.
ReplyDeleteSo here is an outrage-inducing set of circumstances:.
ReplyDeleteA Chicago cop drove drunk, and when confronted about it by another, off-duty cop, shot at that second cop’s vehicle.
If any regular citizen had pulled this crap, he’d be charged with a DUI and attempted murder. This joker merely got charged with unlawfully discharging a weapon, and some other minor junk, and was acquitted on all counts.
At least he got fired, but come on, that’s a slap on the wrist for what he did.
2 Chicago cops resign after facing firing for off-duty traffic dispute that led to gunfire

Figure this one out, the stoopid fucking moonbats calling for freedom for criminals to resist arrest from oppressive government vote for politicians who want to disarm citizens. Major disconnect here in stoopid fucking moonbat brains.
ReplyDelete"Then you see on videos there could be several cops yelling at the victim so he/she does not know which one to obey and the others open fire because they weren't obeyed."
ReplyDeleteMy friend Dirty Dan got jacked up in a hotel room with a girl by some cops who had been after him for a while.
They were peeking in through the curtains and yelled at him and his girl to freeze, which they did.
Next the cops tried the door, and finding it locked, yelled at them to open it.
Dan said "Oh no you don't. You told me to freeze, and have us at gunpoint. I'm not gonna move and give your boys an excuse to blow our heads off. You want in? Get a key. They have one at the desk, I'm sure."
But since Dan was a, how to say it, very good customer, the desk clerk made them get a warrant, which took about a half hour, and when they finally got in and searched the room, they didn't find his dope, which was hidden in his motorcycle helmet.
They ran the numbers on his license, his girlfriend's license, and the plate and VIN on his bike and they all came back clean, so they had to just leave them in the room.
As they were leaving, Dan asked them if they were gonna apologize for busting in and wasting two hours of his time, and they called him a scumbag, and told him that they may not have got him this time, but they would get him, he could count on it.
They never did, and Dirty Dan died of cancer back in 2000, a free man.

ReplyDeleteDan was a light-skinned black man born in Cuba, who fell out with the Castro regime and moved to the mainland in the early seventies, I believe. He was a direct descendant of Jean Lafitte, and exhibited many similar characteristics to him.
After his death, his family snuck some of his ashes back to Cuba as a fuck you to the Castros.

Why are light-skinned blacks usually smarter than dark-skinned blacks?
ReplyDelete"Why would Russia work with NRA?? "
ReplyDeleteWell, to funnel thirty million dollars into the Trump campaign, for starters.
But if you really want to know, ask Alexander Torshin, as he seems to be the chief Russian NRA cheerleader, and has a devoted and deluded following among NRA members and 2A cheerleaders in the south in general, and Tennessee in particular.

More whites are shot by police every year than are blacks.
Adjusted for the homicide rate, whites are 1.7 times MORE likely to be killed by police than blacks.
There is no excuse for anyone to violently resist arrest. It is stupid and often fatal to do so, and blacks are much more likely to react this way to the police.
https://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2015/apr/21/police-kill-more-whites-than-blacks-but-minority-d/
"Why are light-skinned blacks usually smarter than dark-skinned blacks?"
ReplyDeleteThey're not. They are, though, discriminated against to a lesser degree and enjoy more freedom of movement in areas where there is a lot of racism. Dan rode his BMW across the south more than once, and I never heard him say anything about taking any shit down there. That could have been partly due to his riding partner Donnie, who was about 300 pounds and a cage fighter.
They were businessmen, for the most part, and I met them when they hired me to drive a truck and move stock for them.

It's both funny and sad to see libtards spout the current blank-slate dogma when it's been 42 years that it was conclusively debunked. Not even a wholesale change in environment improves IQ.
https://infogalactic.com/info/Minnesota_Transracial_Adoption_Study
Smarts track fraction of white blood. Intelligence comes along with lighter skin from European admixture. That's why the Haitians slaughtered all the mullatoes after the whites. They knew mullatoes would form a ruling class because they're smarter.
And isn't it funny when libtards deny that IQ means anything, and then turn around and claim to be superior because libtards have higher IQ? (This comes from more extensive Marxist indoctrination spent on those who pursue more education because they're smarter. Free smart people from PC oppression and give them the data, and 90% of them would switch sides in a week. But in the mean time, even those high-IQ individuals are functionally stupid on issues of race, gender and everything else. Intelligence ends when your thinking is halted by crimestop.)
