[Oi!]

Trump is not going to magically disappear.*  Which means that his lies and incitement and propaganda need to be confronted and addressed in the public forum.  Though, to nitpick on this forum's protocol...


....we do have a separate thread for that, right? 




* that would be some really cool magic, though, eh?  Does that Jewish Space Laser have any free time this week?

Got a boy or boys in high school?
Has he/have they...had to turn to a girl in the class and apologise to the girl/s for being male and apologise to them for the male rapists and abusers of women?,
At a private college in Vic state bambuland that's exactly what happened.
One boy refused to apologise for being male and for something he hadn't done. He was hauled off to the vice principal's office for a chat.
Principal is a woman.
Maybe coming to your school soon. Got a plan?

Having to apologize for what you are,  by birth,  at an age when your adult personality is still developing is not good for one's psychological health.   Misogyny is awful, and so is male bashing.   All people deserve dignity and respect,  unless proven to have deprived others of same.

So say some of the boys...older ones.
The very young looking 13 yr old boy who had to do it ... did so because he was afraid of what might happen to him if he didn't.
Parents of the boys are outraged. Some of the mothers...who might in your world resemble "soccer moms", were not impressed...extremely outraged, one single mom of 4 children was crying.
Some of the female students were traumatised by the whole thing...their moms outraged too.
The female school principal, when asked for comment, was not available, pulled down the blind in her office where she seemed to be 'hiding'.

This is a good article if you want to read about the United Farm Workers in 1977 here in California, written by a student from Harvard...

Why is Lindsey Graham asking people with AR-15s to come shoot up his gang? He seems to be trying to start beef. Does his gang leader, Moscow Mitch, approve of his play, or will he wack Lindsey to save his gang during its period of decline while it serves as public enemy number one?

Nice to know in case of natural disaster the South Carolina is ready wiling and able to kill his constituents rather than render aid.

My spouse and I found the "crime scene" photo accompanying this report amusing.

"These are very good examples of where I haven't had the depth of insight to understand how my actions affect others," Dr Laming said.

He seems to have been drinking and partying with young people, and missed the whole 'woke' thing...and "new world order" thing.
You're not allowed to take photos of women's bottoms when they're bending over refilling fridges or anything else, whether or not their underwear is showing.

ScoMo has sent him off for "re-education"...unwilling to sack him now...as that would mean he'd have a minority govt.
The Dr won't be contesting the next election...ScoMo has announced a Conservative female candidate will be offered to voters instead.

Donald J. Trump addresses a wedding party to say a few words about the bride and groom...

“Congratulations! Ya got a good one, I’d fuck her in aheart beat! But enough about you...”

You get married on the Isle of 5he Lost Souls and what do you expect?.”

Get over Trump. Focus on Biden.

No.

Then go ahead suffer from PSTD (Politically Stuck on Trump Disorder).

When you keep your focus on what you hate, you continue to miss opportunities to revel in what your say you prefer.

Which, IMO, is a dumbfuck way to live.

Our democracy is hanging by a thread.

Pay attention.

A) we have a republic

B) we've seen much worse times than these

C) your commitment to negative thinking is a habit of the mind that impairs your judgement, otherwise you'd clearly see

D) we are better off now, than we were 3 months ago, let alone 4 years ago

correct. If you are addicted to negativity, by all means go to the "Previous Administration, where democracy is hanging by a" thread.

Chauvin’s attorney, Eric Nelson, followed with statements for the defense. Nelson said the defense would show that Chauvin acted within reasonable bounds during his arrest of Floyd.

“You will learn that Derek Chauvin did exactly what he had been trained to do over the course of his 19-year career,” Nelson said. “The use of force is not attractive, but it is a necessary component of policing.”

Nelson emphasized that his case would be built on evidence presented during the trial without reference to political pressures outside the courtroom.

“There is no social or political cause in this courtroom,” Nelson said.

On May 25, 2020, officers arrived at a convenience store after an employee called police, saying Floyd had used a counterfeit $20 bill to purchase cigarettes. The officers attempted to arrest Floyd and place him in the back of a squad car. But Floyd exited the car and fell to the ground, telling officers he had claustrophobia, according to the arrest affidavit.



yahoo news.

There you go. It'll be "excessive force" vs "necessary policing".

But think of what was at stake. A $20 counterfeit bill had been passed causing potential financial harm to a bodega.

What if Floyd was out there doing things like this guy did, and the police reacted in accordance with the financial pain inflicted by responding to the degree of the harm caused?

You’re a sick puppy.




Derek Chauvin had every opportunity to follow protocol and didn’t.

Doubt this will happen, but here you go: The 2021 Masters tournament is set to be held at Augusta National in mid-April, though some groups are calling for it to move.

Following the highly controversial voting law passed by the state of Georgia, there are growing calls for boycotts of companies and sporting events hosted by the state. Some are already calling for the 2021 MLB All-Star Game to be moved out of Atlanta. Now, we have groups calling for The Masters to be moved out of Augusta.

“The PGA Tour and Masters Tournament have both made commitments to help diversify golf and address racial inequities in this country – and we expect them to not only speak out against Georgia’s new racist voter suppression law – but to also take action,” the National Black Justice Coalition said in a statement. “To that end, the National Black Justice Coalition is calling on the PGA Tour and Masters Tournament to pull the upcoming championship event from the Augusta National Golf Course. Professional golfers should refuse to play in Georgia until the racist voter suppression law is repealed.”

https://thespun.com/more/golf/sports-world-reacts-calls-the-masters-to-move

Moving a major golf tournament is not like moving a football or basketball (like the NBA did in 2017) or baseball event. Although, MLB could still move the ASG from ATL.

Major League Baseball is scheduled to play its 2021 All-Star Game this summer at Truist Park, located in Atlanta, Georgia. Yet with less than a week to go until Opening Day, the MLB Players Association appears open to discussing whether or not the event should be relocated in response to recent legislative developments in the state.

MLB Players Association director Tony Clark told the Boston Globe that the union body is "very much aware" of the bill signed by Georgia governor Brian Kemp on Thursday that overhauled the state's election laws.

The bill includes "new restrictions on voting by mail and gives the legislature greater control over how elections are run," according to CBS News. It has been opposed by both Democrats and voting rights groups who believe the law will "disproportionately disenfranchise voters of color."

Clark told the Globe that "we have not had a conversation with the league on that issue" before adding that "if there is an opportunity to, we would look forward to having that conversation."

Trump is not going to magically disappear.* 


Seems not

From the minds of US populace - and certainly not from this board - heh

You can find Trump, not Harris or Biden - at the US southern border soon.  Staying active and in the know - just in case.
