I have some thoughts on this Sunday--- the day the hashtag #ObamaDay is trending on twitter. Something about it coinciding with the birthday of the guy occupying the White House from his bunker now.
First, the police officers in Atlanta who answered that call at the Wendy's South of the city must not have been watching the news for the past few weeks. What on God's green earth would cause you to shoot a fleeing suspect in the back? And with cell phone cameras rolling no less. My Lord! I shudder to think what was happening before these cell-phone cameras became a thing.
Please watch Dave Chappelle's new comedy special to understand the depth of black rage right now.
And let me get this out of the way before I continue. I know some good police officers, most of them are people of color, and they have a tough job working these mean streets of Philadelphia. A lot of them are frustrated and want to quit the force. I would urge them not to. Now, more than ever, we need them to stay on and counter the behavior of the bad apples in their ranks. Especially the ones who sign up for all the wrong reasons, and are carrying around their biases against black folks and other people of color.
Which brings me to my second point: No one wants to defund police departments. That is short-sighted and foolhardy. Ask poor people living in the hood if they want to get rid of police departments via defunding. The answer will most assuredly be no. What we do want is the resources that police departments receive to be utilized in different ways. More and better screening and training of recruits. More community oversight agencies with well-intentioned folks running them. More resources for counseling,etc. And more incentives for good officers who step up and do the right thing.
My third point is the protests and unrest all over the country, and the clueless man in the White House who is hell- bent on starting a race war because he believes that this is the only way he will win reelection.
How else do you explain his coming out rally being held in Tulsa, Oklahoma, and his initial wish to hold it on June 19th? For you white folks who don't know, this day is celebrated by black folks because on June 19, 1865 slaves became officially free in Texas. I know, I know, it's two years after the Emancipation Proclamation but that's a different story for another time. Anyway, Mr. trump finally moved the date of his rally but it is still being held in Tulsa. Most black folks think that is even more significant, because Tulsa has a history when it comes to race riots. If you didn't know about it already, now might be a good time to look up the Tulsa Massacres.
And then, incredibly, he does it again. Mr. trump will give his acceptance speech on Ax Handle Saturday in Jacksonville, Florida. Please take the time to Google what happened on that date in Jacksonville, Florida. Here, I will make it easy for you and give you a link. If you are paying attention, Mr. trump is two for two with his dog whistle to his racist friends.
Finally, speaking of Mr. trump. Remember when the news media made a big deal about Hillary's health during the campaign? I do. So I have to wonder: Why are they so quiet when it comes to Mr. trump's obvious issues with his health and his cognitive abilities? Did you see him walk down that ramp at West Point yesterday? Please take the time to watch the video. Even if you are trump supporter (heck, especially if you are a trump supporter) you have to be concerned. It was painful to watch. Clearly there is something wrong with the man. Of course the main stream media is refusing to talk about it, and you have to wonder why.
And can we talk about the two handed water bottle hold for a minute? WTF was that all about? Who uses two hands to hold a bottle of water like that? Honestly, if the water bottle fiasco doesn't worry you, well then you might have some serious issues as a trump cultist.
I have to wonder now what that quick and unscheduled hospital visit back in November was all about. Hmmm. They can cover up a lot of things, but given how much trump loves a photo op they won't be able to cover up his health issues forever. You can lie to us when he has his physical check- ups (if he weighs 235 pounds I am dating Emayatzy Corinealdi), but our eyes don't lie. We can see the physical deterioration and loss of cognitive abilities as plain as day.
That's all my Sunday thoughts for today, folks.
Stay safe out there.
Which brings me to my second point: No one wants to defund police departments.
ReplyDeleteNo one but the entire BLM movement.
That is short-sighted and foolhardy.
It's called 'progressivism'.
Ask poor people living in the hood if they want to get rid of police departments via defunding. The answer will most assuredly be no.
Just no more arresting black people.
What we do want is the resources that police departments receive to be utilized in different ways.
"We"? You're not poor.
More and better screening and training of recruits. More community oversight agencies with well-intentioned folks running them. More resources for counseling,etc. And more incentives for good officers who step up and do the right thing.
I think that all is happening, and will be made more difficult if funds are shifted elsewhere. And good luck getting "well intentioned folk running them".
For you white folks who don't know, this day is celebrated by black folks because on June 19, 1865 slaves became officially free in Texas.
ReplyDeleteTulsa is in Oklahoma.
Most black folks think that is even more significant, because Tulsa has a history when it comes to race riots.
White people can't go to Tulsa now? Not even the President?
Using two hands to hold a water bottle is grounds for impeachment.

ReplyDeleteWell, it could have been leg say. We know he works out for hours a day.
ReplyDeleteIt wasn't a race riot, it was an attack on a successful black neighborhood and business district that leveled it and slaughtered at least 300 citizens. They called it a race riot so the insurance companies wouldn't have to cover the damages the rampaging white morons inflicted.
ReplyDeleteHis descent of the ramp wasn't really that bad for someone in their seventies, but can we call it gait gate? In fairness, I have trouble with similar inclines, but in my defense, I had a stroke in 2008 and I am much more able to traverse such inclines now than I was even five years ago. You work at things and you get better, even if you'll never be perfect.

ReplyDelete"Interesting - the first four posts on this new thread are all antagonistic to the cause of equality for Blacks."
ReplyDeleteJust ready to jump right in and spread racist filth. Nothing changes, can't ever just let people peacefully exist.
Facts = racist filth
ReplyDeleteIt is absurd to claim that most negative police interactions are the fault of the cops.
ReplyDeleteDoing so has made police less effective in the areas they are needed most. This has directly led to to more blacks being murdered by criminals.
Crime had been trending down for 30 years. Then the anti-police crusade got going. The homicide rate was substantially lower in the half decade before Ferguson (August 2014) than in the half decade after. The total number of homicides increased a record 24.8% from 2014 to 2016. Fighting the wrong problem is going to get even more people killed.
“How else do you explain his coming out rally being held in Tulsa, Oklahoma, and his initial wish to hold it on June 19th?”
ReplyDeleteI know that Trump haters everywhere are suspicious that this was some kind of racist dog whistle, but I don’t believe it. That would require Trump to know about the Tulsa massacre, or Juneteenth. Or Jacksonville. Any of it.
Come on. There is no way he does. Trump is dumb as a post and doesn’t read books, much less history books, much much less BLACK history books.
The president is unquestionably a racist, but I’m calling these coincidences.
“It is absurd to claim that most negative police interactions are the fault of the cops.”
ReplyDeleteIt’s true. Most negative police interactions aren’t the fault of the cops. In fact, most shootings by cops are justified.
But the minority that appear to be unjustified is way too high. Most other countries have nothing like the number of unarmed residents shot by their cops that we do, for example. There must be something wrong with the way we recruit, train, and hold our cops accountable.
Racist filth = racist filth

ReplyDeleteFunny how white males who shoot people can be arrested without any issues.
"Most other countries have nothing like the number of unarmed residents shot by their cops that we do, for example."
ReplyDeleteMost countries don't have 40 million black people. You are comparing the US to lower crime European and East Asian countries.
The highest violent crime countries are in Latin America and Africa.
Venezuela has one sixth the population of the US but 12 times the number of people killed by the police.
"Funny how white males who shoot people can be arrested without any issues."
ReplyDeleteDid he resist arrest? That's the salient fact.
The statistics for the US show that white males are more likely to be shot by police than black males.

ReplyDelete"What on God's green earth would cause you to shoot a fleeing suspect in the back?"
ReplyDeleteAmerica has spent trillions of dollars creating the kind of destructive environment where blacks are criminalized, tried, convicted and executed on the spot without a second thought about the consequences.
Some of us dont want to live in a country where a drunk driver is free to resist arrest, attempt to taze a police officer and run away.
ReplyDeleteThe future is Oprah Winfrey doing broadcasts every week from one of her 100 mansions lecturing poor whites in opiate saturated, poverty stricken flyover states on their privilege and reminding them it’s racist to complain that their checks are garnished for reparations.
ReplyDeleteThe single greatest problem poor black people face (and society as a whole) is the breakdown of the family. Nearly all dysfunction can be traced back to the home.
ReplyDeleteAnd yet Black Lives Matter wants to, in their own words, "disrupt the Western-prescribed nuclear family structure."
How anybody can possibly support such an organization is beyond me.

ReplyDeleteOur current political moment comes straight from Marxist theoretician Herbert Marcuse - using the identity of the oppressed to achieve the political economy of the intellectuals.
I remember the old, free-speech left that was concerned with the working class and economic issues. That left has been abandoned like a broken cocoon for a new, speech-is-dangerous left that appeals largely to the educated and cares about identity issues and performative virtue.
This transformation of the left — from blue-collar vanguard of the working class (and free speech intellectuals) to grad-school-educated affluents who hate speech and the white working class — is maybe the most amazing thing I've witnessed in politics in my lifetime.
There are still those on the left who care chiefly about economic issues. And they are skeptical of Wokism because they realize that it fractures the working class (often not woke) from their movement. But they are now outnumbered.
And that makes sense because Wokism is, in many ways, an easier more obvious path. It is corporate friendly. And it appeals to more to issues important for the educated whites who have are now a huge part of the Democratic party.

More direction of resources toward the guilty and against the innocent, who pay for it all.
Tulsa has a history when it comes to race riots.
Nobody but you cares about that history, and you are anti-civilization. Only civilization has writing, which creates history.

There's a lingering question whether white shitlibs sincerely believe their equalism shibboleths or if they're hypocritically mouthing the tenets of a faith they don't practice in their personal lives.
While there are plenty of equalism true believers who have been successfully brainwashed by the keepers of acceptable moral opinion, I suspect the latter is more often the case, based on the revealed preferences of white shitlibs.
You can look at any tony superzip neighborhood and find a jarringly all-white oasis centered around the fulcrum of a "good school". Their choice of where to live directly contradicts their stated beliefs.
As small businesses are destroyed, first by the COVID shutdown and subsequently BLM, Amazon and Walmart's powers rise as some of the few places allowed to still make money.
ReplyDeleteWhat do they do with their increased revenue? Funnel millions back into BLM to continue looting and destroying any small businesses that remain, while physically lynching any whites who resist.
A foolproof, self-sustaining plan for the quickest transformation of working class white Americans into a servant class for their jewish overlords.
The words privilege and bourgeois are synonyms separated by about 100 years.
ReplyDelete“Maybe not, but Stephen the fuck Miller sure does, and Fergus doing his own planning on that level is an even more absurd proposition.”
ReplyDeleteI find that questionable. Miller is educated enough to read actual books, but I doubt he goes out of his way to read ones about African-Americans — unless they’re Nazi-style “race realism” biology texts detailing the ways that blacks are allegedly genetically inferior.
But even if Miller were aware of these historical events, he still wouldn’t set Trump up on a mission to “own the libs” unless Trump could politically benefit by his followers observing and enjoying the libs being owned. And they can’t. Trump’s dopey followers wouldn’t understand these allusions because they’re even more ignorant than Trump. The Tulsa massacre would mean nothing to them, either. Their knowledge of black history does not extend beyond Rosa Parks, MLK, and Barack Hussein Obama.
I think it’s silly to look for dog whistles with Trump. He doesn’t do subtlety. He doesn’t drop little hints. He just comes right out and says overtly, obviously racist shit, and then laughs in your face. That’s the kind of guy he is.

What we are witnessing in Atlanta and around this nations has a lot more to do with the hiring process than bias although bias plays a big role after unqualified citizens are hired its not the single most factor contributing to these horrible incidents.
ReplyDeleteI served as member of a Civil Service Commission for three years in a small city in Pennsylvania in the 80's. Our primary duties was the testing of citizens for police and fire jobs, promotions within both departments and as a first step judge and jury between the city and the courts when it came to firings and discipline within those departments.
Based upon my brief experience with the hiring process the number one problem was white privilege and the 'who you know culture' in America which has become a intricate part of the hiring process. This is a big no no in a dangerous occupation where temperament, intelligence, education, knowledge of the laws and department policies coupled with a keen ability to think on the fly plays a very important role in becoming a professional police officer. I use the term professional police officer because that term was the pretext used by Police Unions in their fight to increase police officers salaries all are the country.
One can't underestimate the role political and Union influenced hiring plays in these tragedies. I would say it plays a much bigger role than your average person realizes. If someone is unqualified my experience is that at some point given the situation that bad hire will come back to bite the public and police department in it's ass.I have seen this play out over and over an issue the overpaid MSM has failed to dive deep into and expose. Why?
He just comes right out and says overtly, obviously racist shit, and then laughs in your face.

I wish I had received better training. I failed the entrance exam and probably didn't deserve to be hired, but the Minneapolis Police Department was desperate to get Somalian police officers on the force. Maybe if they had been more carful I wouldn't have shot and killed that unarmed white woman who approached the police car I was riding in.
I already had three prior complaints despite being on the force for less than two years. Two psychiatrists and other training officers had raised concerns about my fitness for police duty. Two months before I shot that lady, I pointed a gun at the head of a driver I had pulled over for a minor traffic violation.
At least nobody really cared. There were no riots. They took eight months to do an investigation and didn't even fire me until I was charged with third degree murder. They sentenced me to 12 years. The Somali-American Police Association issued a statement after the verdict claiming that racial bias contributed to my conviction.
The Minneapolis police should have known better than to let me be a police officer. It's their fault. Down with White Supremacy!

Why don't you do some research on poverty in America before you post next time? If you Google "poverty by race," you will find pages of internet sites filled with useful information. Here's one I found especially useful in addition to the ones I posted below. https://www.usatoday.com/story/money/economy/2018/10/10/faces-poverty-social-racial-factors/37977173/
https://www.statista.com/statistics/200476/us-poverty-rate-by-ethnic-group/
Poverty rate in the United States by ethnic group 2018
Published by Erin Duffin, Sep 24, 2019
In 2018, 20.8 percent of Black people living in the United States were living below the poverty line. This is compared to 8.1 percent of White people, and 10.1 percent of Asian people.
Poverty in the United States
Single people in the United States making less than 11,770 U.S. dollars a year and families of four making less than 24,250 U.S. dollars a year are considered to be below the poverty line. Women and children are more likely to suffer from poverty, due to women staying home more often than men to take care of children, and women suffering from the gender wage gap. Not only are women and children more likely to be affected, racial minorities are as well due to the discrimination they face.
Poverty data
Despite being one of the wealthiest nations in the world, the United States had the highest poverty rate out of all OECD countries in 2016. However, the United States poverty rate has been fluctuating since 1990, but has been decreasing since 2014. The average median household income in the U.S. has remained somewhat consistent since 1990, but has recently increased since 2014. The state that had the highest number of people living below the poverty line in 2018 was California.

I am considering whether or not your story is real, but regardless of that, the Minneapolis Police Department should not have hired an unqualified applicant because they were "desperate to get Somalian police officers on the force." The proper solution to that problem, if your story is indeed real, was to recruit vigorously in the Somalian community in their city until a qualified applicant was found.
Affirmative Action does not require any one or any organization to hire unqualified applicants to fill imaginary quotas. If you were to read the law, you would know that.
Have a nice day!

Phuck drumpf...The Food and Drug Administration today revoked its emergency authorization for use of hydroxychloroquine and chloroquine from the Strategic National Stockpile, because the feds have determined that “it is no longer reasonable to believe that oral formulations of HCQ and CQ may be effective in treating COVID-19, nor is it reasonable to believe that the known and potential benefits of these products outweigh their known and potential risks”:
ReplyDeleteWe now believe that the suggested dosing regimens for CQ and HCQ as detailed in the Fact Sheets are unlikely to produce an antiviral effect.
Earlier observations of decreased viral shedding with HCQ or CQ treatment have not been consistently replicated and recent data from a randomized controlled trial assessing probability of negative conversion showed no difference between HCQ and standard of care alone.
Current U.S. treatment guidelines do not recommend the use of CQ or HCQ in hospitalized patients with COVID-19 outside of a clinical trial, and the NIH guidelines now recommend against such use outside of a clinical trial.
Recent data from a large randomized controlled trial showed no evidence of benefit for mortality or other outcomes such as hospital length of stay or need for mechanical ventilation of HCQ treatment in hospitalized patients with COVID-19.
FDA has concluded that, based on this new information and other information discussed in the attached memorandum, it is no longer reasonable to believe that oral formulations of HCQ and CQ may be effective in treating COVID-19, nor is it reasonable to believe that the known and potential benefits of these products outweigh their known and potential risks. Accordingly, FDA revokes the EUA for emergency use of HCQ and CQ to treat COVID-19, pursuant to section 564(g)(2) of the Act. As of the date of this letter, the oral formulations of HCQ and CQ are no longer authorized by FDA to treat COVID-19 [Food and Drug Administration, letter to Biomedical Advanced Research and Development Authority, 2020.06.15].
I'd bet drumpf will claim it is safe and effective because he knows more than doctors and scientists.

And by the way from January 2015 to November 8, 2017, I was very, very busy taking care of my husband who was ill and eventually died. During thosse years, I didn't have a lot of time to make note of who was being shot by police. My husband had 25 ambulance trips during 2017 when the Noor case occurred, so I was a little distracted.

I watched the whole body cam video of the Atlanta video. The man was clearly drunk. Just call him a cab or let him walk home. That's what the police used to do before the system figured out they could make a lot of loot charging people with DUI's . Now we have a DUI industry.
ReplyDelete@Wesley R: I see that. They had his name. They had his car. They would have found him eventually.
ReplyDeleteHis mistake was fighting the cops and grabbing away a tazer, which he then fired at them. Incredibly stupid, but they didn't need to shoot him.
As far as letting him walk home, drunk drivers kill a lot of people every year. If they don't pay a steep price in terms of fines and suspensions, they'll just keep doing it until they do kill someone. It wasn't his first DUI.
What percentage of refugees in the U.S. are refugees because their families did very bad things back in the Old Country when their side was in power? For example, Rep. Ilhan Omar's family is here because they were officials in the genocidal Siad Barre regime, whose victims then wanted vengeance.

Does anyone believe the nationwide riots and looting are a spontaneous reaction to the killing of George Floyd?
ReplyDeleteIt’s all too coordinated, too widespread, and too much in-sync with the media narrative that applauds the “mainly peaceful protests” while ignoring the vast destruction to cities across the country. What’s that all about? Do the instigators of these demonstrations want to see our cities reduced to urban wastelands where street gangs and Antifa thugs impose their own harsh justice? That’s where this is headed, isn’t it?
Of course there are millions of protesters who honestly believe they’re fighting racial injustice and police brutality. And more power to them. But that certainly doesn’t mean there aren’t hidden agendas driving these outbursts. Quite the contrary. It seems to me that the protest movement is actually the perfect vehicle for affecting dramatic social changes that only serve the interests of elites. For example, who benefits from defunding the police? Not African Americans, that’s for sure. Black neighborhoods need more security not less. And yet, the New York Times lead editorial on Saturday proudly announces, “Yes, We Mean Literally Abolish the Police–Because reform won’t happen.”
Why has the media failed to show the vast destruction of businesses and private property? Why have they minimized the effects of vandalism, looting and arson? Why have they fanned the flames of social unrest from the very beginning, shrugging off the ruin and devastation while cheerleading the demonstrations as a heroic struggle for racial justice? Is this is the same media that supported every bloody war, every foreign intervention, and every color-revolution for the last 5 decades? Are we really expected to believe that they’ve changed their stripes and become an energized proponent of social justice?
Nonsense. The media’s role in concealing the damage should only convince skeptics that the protests are just one part of a much larger operation. What we’re seeing play out in over 400 cities across the US, has more to do with toppling Trump and sowing racial division than it does with the killing of George Floyd. The scale and coordination alone suggests that elements in the deep state are probably involved. We know from evidence uncovered during the Russiagate probe, that the media works hand-in-glove with the Intel agencies and FBI while–at the same time– serving as a mouthpiece for elites. That hasn’t changed, in fact, it’s gotten even worse. The uniformity of the coverage suggests that that same perception management strategy is being employed here as well. Even at this late date, the determination to remove Trump from office is as strong as ever even though, in the present case, it has been combined with the broader political strategy of inciting fratricidal violence, obliterating urban areas, and spreading anarchy across the country. This isn’t about racial justice or police brutality, it’s about regime change, internal destabilization, and martial law....
The United States has never experienced two weeks of sustained protests in hundreds of its cities at the same time. It’s beyond suspicious, it points to extensive coordination with groups across the country, a comprehensive media strategy (that probably preceded the killing of George Floyd), a sizable presence on social media (to put people on the street), and agents provocateur whose task is to incite violence, loot and create mayhem.
None of this has anything to do with racial justice or police brutality. America is being destabilized and sacked for other purposes altogether. This a destabilization campaign similar to the CIA’s color revolutions designed to topple the regime (Trump), install a puppet government (Biden), impose “shock therapy” on the economy pushing tens of millions of Americans into homelessness and destitution, and leave behind a broken, smoldering shell of a country easily controlled by Federal shock troops and wealthy globalist mandarins.
“The BLM represents the forefront of an effort to divide Americans along racial and political lines, thus keeping race and identity-based barbarians safely away from more critical issues of importance to the elite, most crucially a free hand to plunder and ransack natural resources, minerals, crude oil, and impoverish billions of people whom the ruling elite consider unproductive useless eaters and a hindrance to the drive to dominate, steal, and murder….
ReplyDeleteIt is sad to say BLM serves the elite by ignoring or remaining ignorant of the main problem—boundless predation by a neoliberal criminal project that considers all—black, white, yellow, brown—as exploitable and dispensable serfs.”

ReplyDeletepolice arrested several members of a right-wing militia called the New Mexico Civil Guard, who were carrying rifles, the paper reports. Witnesses said the gunman was a white man in a blue shirt, The New York Times reported. Chief Michael Geier said state and federal authorities were investigating reports that vigilante groups instigated violence. “If this is true... [we] will be holding them accountable to the fullest extent of the law, including federal hate group designation and prosecution.” The victim is in critical but stable condition, police said........
The night began with peaceful protest and prayer but tensions began to escalate when protesters took a pickaxe to the statue and members of the heavily armed New Mexico Civil Guard, a civilian group, tried to protect the monument.
Before the night was over Gov. Michelle Lujan Grisham and other officials condemned the violence and those who instigated it.
https://www.abqjournal.com/1466626/one-man-shot-during-protest-in-old-town-albuquerque.html
“Although we are still learning more about the situation, I am horrified and disgusted beyond words by the reports of violence at a protest Monday night in Albuquerque,” Lujan Grisham said late Monday in a statement. “The heavily armed individuals who flaunted themselves at the protest, calling themselves a ‘civil guard,’ were there for one reason: To menace protesters, to present an unsanctioned show of unregulated force. To menace the people of New Mexico with weaponry — with an implicit threat of violence — is on its face unacceptable; that violence did indeed occur is unspeakable.”
How do some 83 year old white women get treated by blacks?
ReplyDeleteDorothy Dow, 83 was a mother, grandmother and great grandmother. Five blacks broke into her home and demanded money from her. She had paid two of them previously to do work on her home. After she told them she didn't have any, they took her medical alert device and disabled her phone. Broke her arms and fingers. Cut her face and head and then threw gasoline on her and burned her alive. She used a CPAP water reservoir to douse the flames but died in agony weeks later. The National media was silent.

“Gee, I hope Trump doesn't say anything positive about it, necessitating a massive media campaign against its use and inspiring faked research papers looking to label it as dangerous.”
ReplyDeleteSorry, the irrational ones here are those supporting Trump, not those opposing him.
The criticism was based on Trump irresponsibly touting hydroxychloroquine, back months ago, before it had been proven to work. It has now been proven NOT to work, and the FDA has yanked approval for its use on an emergency basis.
All your idiotic “orange man bad” comments ignore the copious evidence that the orange man actually is profoundly bad and people are denouncing him for a reason.
Speaking of which, Trump got confused again at a press conference and thanked the scientists who developed “the AIDS vaccine.”

So you think it's OK for armed terrorists to show up to intimidate others who are peacefully demonstrating against police violence? I thought you righties were big on First Amendment rights.

Thanks for the information, but it doesn't answer my question.
BLM is a group designed to collect money for Democratic candidates not fight racism. Its a fraud.

ReplyDeleteThey’re just going to ignore that part and pretend they’re all rioters.That’s more convenient if you’re a racist Trumpster.
Pretend the riots never happened, asswipe.

No, I think it's OK for armed citizens to show up to protect their families and property against violent terrorists who are rioting and looting over false conclusions about police violence.
It's not just OK, it's a basic human right. The government has already demonstrated that they are on the side of the terrorists.

trump doing all he can to stop Bolton's book. And no I am not a fan of John Bolton.
ReplyDeleteHaloperidol is also a widely accepted and prescribed medicine and has been in use since 1967 in the US, but that does not make it helpful against covid.
ReplyDeleteFergus, though, would probably behave better on maintenance doses of it than on hydroxychloroquine.

ReplyDeleteTrump's niece also has a new book out about the dysfunction of the Trump family. Everybody's got a book! You won't be starved for choice if you're dying to read former associates of Trump telling how much they hate Trump.
Personally, I don't need to learn any more damning details about this bum; I have seen and heard enough. He is a terrible person and a terrible president. Just make him go away.
You knew this was inevitable......

Just make him go away. For life plus 20 years to be served consecutively. He can't stink any worse after being dead for 20 years as he already smells.

Q: What, exactly, are you doing with that half trillion dollars?
ReplyDeleteA: Half trillion dollars, what half trillion dollars? Oh, THAT half trillion dollars. We're keeping it, I mean we're not telling you what we're doing with it.
[T]he administration has worked to sabotage virtually all of these accountability mechanisms. While paying lip service to "transparency," it has fired, demoted or otherwise kneecapped inspectors general, some of whom recently wrote to congressional leaders warning of systematic efforts to avoid scrutiny required by law. The watchdog Government Accountability Office also complained that the administration has refused to provide critical data on the bailout. Last week, the administration backtracked on its commitment to publicly disclose the beneficiaries of its $660 billion Paycheck Protection Program (PPP) -- including, presumably, information about whether any of the "small businesses" helped happen to be President Trump's. This is unacceptable.

Blood is on the democrats teaming with China to derail the Trump administration.
Plus, of those 119,109 death the Covid-19 only has a 1% morbidity rate, the other deaths were from heart attacks, strokes and the like not the virus. So only 1191 have actually died from the virus, no different than the common flu.

"Not so! My family and I are white middle-class working people and we support Black Lives Matter, and all peaceful activities of ANTIFA. Why wouldn't we? None of us are fascists? We hate fascism."
ReplyDeleteWhat if my family and I are white middle-class working people who think All Lives Matter and don't support the Marxist Black Lives Matter and are disgusted by the violent activities of ANTIFA? None of us are fascists. We hate fascism.

If you believe what you say, why are you buying in to the false narrative of the extreme right that ANTIFA are guilty of "violent activities?"
If you are a regular reader of this blog, you have seen many posts here that are supported by reliable sources showing that much of the violence during the protests is not coming from ANTIFA. Instead, it is coming from extreme-right wing groups that have joined the majority of peaceful protesters. There have many arrests across the country of these people.
Here are three examples of what we have been posting here......
Just today two young men from other states have been arrested for setting the fire in the Minneapolis Police Department. https://www.wdio.com/news/men-charged-with-starting-fires-during-minneapolis-unrest/5761934/
This one involves two men who belong to an alt-right group known as the Boogaloo Boys

ReplyDeleteAdd into the fact that several groups, as well as posters here, have promised a race war for decades. Were they lying? Are they too cowardly to take responsibility for their actions? For such tough guys they sure wimp out when the going gets tough and they scare really easily. LOL

ReplyDeleteIt wasn't propaganda that got to me. I came to the conclusion as soon as I read the initial report on the Palmdale hanging, saying it was a suicide.
Instead of confronting the nation's suicide, homelessness and pandemic crises, we have callous race hustlers connecting random dots of real tragedies and conjuring up invisible hangmen to stir more hatred and division.
"George Floyd changed the world"
ReplyDeleteAnd things are so much better now.
"Journalists” are disgusting, despicable people.
