Yeah, we know.  You've told us.  Couple of times.

Really?  Weird.  Nobody on here has ever talked about being born in Texas.  I'm the outlier I guess.

Gut-wrenching.

American evil.  Wearing a badge given to him by we the people.  Wearing our flag on his shoulder.  Flanked and protected my more of the same, badges and flags on each uniform.

People aren't protesting because this single incident happened.

They're protesting because this is our brand, literally.

Unitary Executive Theory added to a Congress ceding authority to the Executive Branch has been an utter disaster for this nation. 

Congress needs to do their job and reduce the power of the Presidency/Executive. The checks and balances are out of whack. 

If an executive branch on roids was a bigger threat to this country than the GOP elephant in the room, Merrick Garland would be on the Supreme Court.

It occurred to me today why the police’s inevitable response of “Just a few bad apples” is so insufficient. Even if it’s true, it’s defensive as hell and it does nothing to move toward a solution. 

You’re a good cop? Great. I believe you. Hell, I know good cops. But it’s also kind of the minimum expectation. You get paid to be a good cop. You’re expected to do your job without intentionally harming or killing someone. So while I’m glad that is what you do, don’t expect that it’s going to earn you a Special Award for Achievement in the Field of Not Murdering People. 

Also, whether you and other cops manage to do your job without committing homicide is beside the point. Let’s all just agree that you are not the problem. Great. Can we also agree that those “few bad apples” are a problem? And can we agree it’s a problem that should be fixed? And finally: will you help fix that problem?

The bottom line is this. When a bad cop is caught doing bad cop shit, instead of responding “Not all cops are bad! Don’t blame us!”, good cops should respond that “Some cops are bad, and we are going to help you get rid of them.”

Here's the thing, though.  Every "good" cop knows bad cops.  Every goddamned one of them.  And they don't do shit.  Ergo, they're all rotten pieces of shit.

Chris Rock nailed it on the 'bad apples' theme.

That’s 100% the goal...or actually maybe further back than that.

Yep.  There's not really any doubt.  When those OTHER people knew their place, leaving America for REAL Americans.

It's not more complicated than that.  Sure, they'll get defensive, lie, tell you they're not racist, etc.  But cut through the bullshit.  The Beaver Cleaver America, when a n****r knew his place (and before most of us even KNEW there was such a thing as all those dirty spics)....ahh, those are the good old days they long for when they say make America great AGAIN.

Some of that is just Wednesday night at the Grove though. It’s a thing. 

True story. I had two black friends in Boise- this guy Kevin (6’5”) and this guy Dwight (6’7”). They look nothing alike.

When Kevin moves to Boise he would go downtown and people at bars would ask “do you know Dwight?” “Are you and Dwight related?”

So one afternoon (before cell phones became common) I landed and I went out in the evening and went to a bar called Pengilly’s and asked the doorman “have you seen Dwight?” And the guy says “I think I saw him go into Hannah’s.”

I go to Hannah’s, and ... there’s Kevin.

 

Bizarro version of that story...I never caught his name but there was a well-known rogue in my neighborhood in Nashville who was also a black dwarf. When he wasn't working in grocery stores, he would be out committing petty crimes, and he was barred from entering some convenience stores for shit like wahooing beer. And he had the bad luck of being very easy to recognize and remember -- no disguise could help...So at some point around this time Bushwick Bill came to Nashville either on tour or to record and strolled into some store the Nashville man had been barred from and as soon as Bill got inside the clerk came out from behind the corner screaming "I TOLD YOU NEVER TO COME BACK IN HERE YOU THIEF" and such...

All white ethnostate is the utopia for the most deranged but without a minority population to scapegoat and oppress it doesn’t really work politically. 

Eh, there would be a sorting of the classes...The UK functioned well enough with an all-white caste system for centuries. It still functions today, even with the addition of minorities to scapegoat and oppress -- they are just new spices in the same old stew. My ex is a white working class Brit from Northern England and she hates going back home -- especially if routed through London -- because her "betters" start trying to put her in her place as soon as she gets on the plane. They will correct her grammar, stuff like that. Total strangers. 

Probably a majority of British popular entertainment revolves in some way around class. If you've ever seen Blackadder, it's the central backdrop -- an aspiring middle class caught between dumbasses above and below and doomed to failure.

Hey, EMAW posted in the Tribune comments!  Or maybe Johnny Sack.  This is wild stuff.

Whoa pony! We still have the First Amendment. She has a right to her opinions, and I have to say that there is a plethora of evidence to support both of her positions. Who would have believed the Democrats would try to impeach the President with no evidence at all? Who would have believed Obamagate, the Clinton/FBI Russian Collusion scandal, fast and furious, or Benghazi. All of these were once alleged as conspiracy theories. Of the 30 or so that I've seen compiled, I don't know of any that remained "conspiracies", and each of them have been targeted at President Trump or Conservatives or Christians. Italy is in rebellion today over Corona because it was the improper use of ventilators that was killing people. Denial of safe medicines like Hydrochloraquin at first symptoms as a CURE is a matter of record. The Gates agenda, the Fauci falsities, the WHO incompetence, and the books being written by real experts cannot be ignored. You can't ignore the videos of Joe Biden telling us the Bill of Rights ("Amendments") are worthless or actually Endorsing Donald Trump should be ignored. The Leftist lean toward Communism is well established, and socialism is a foregone conclusion. But what really makes me mad is that Blacks have been tools of the Democratic Party - the most violent and worthless group of parasites in the history of mankind - and their cries were ignored in spite of their faith until Trump appeared. He lifted them out of poverty so the Democrats counterattacked. If the Democrats had it there way on the Bill of Rights, I'd be in the streets, even if I had to be carried. My watch isn't over, and I do not intend to report to General Washington that we were defeated by the likes of Pelosi, Schumer, Schiff, Gates, and some fascists that mistakenly call themselves antifa!

Yeah bringing out the k9 unit for this is reprehensible. It is staggering how people with such little brains are entrusted with so much power.

Most Trumpers live for librul tears - nothing more. I don't think they see the endgame playing out with their insatiable lust for "my team wins."  They are enabling those who want a race war. Very dangerous and eerie.
