I'm not good with a lot of what occurred.

I’m with you on you not being good. There was no need to elaborate further.

Difference between you and me is I see that murder and legitimately say, “That could be me. Now every shady thing I did in my life will be put out there ensuring my criminalization despite the fact some cop literally crushed the breath out of me.”


That isnt about HIS LIFE

Its about the fentanyl in his system that day could have killed him

Others disagreed.

Floyd is not on trial. Chauvin is.

If rather than choke Floyd to death with his knee on his neck for 10 minutes, if Chauvin had strangled him for 10 minutes, or just shot him in the head, would it make a difference, if Floyd had Fentanyl or a Big Mac and fries in his system?

Chauvin murdered Floyd.

If I were Russia or China or N. Korea etc.  how could I inflict the most devastating blows against the US. A direct invasion, no, no too bloody for anyone but Ayatollah types. Bomb. bomb perhaps but who would clean up the mess? I would push for open borders at home through the liberal elite and pass the cash to anchor babies and extended families. It would be like a plague of locusts in biblical times.

---Now, of the ten plagues, the eighth one was that of locusts. Moses warned the Pharaoh that God will send so many locusts that they will "cover each and every tree of the land and eat all that is there to be eaten"---. Are human babies like insects no, but the big guy wanted his people out. The bad guys want a decline in the US economy. Cuba experimented with the  the Mariel Boatlift in 1980.

I heard "Humperdink, Humperdink, Humperdink!"

My memory doesn't pull up the scene from Life of Brian, but it wouldn't. Don't know if that would have changed my mind such that I would have smiled and nodded or merely thought it differently inappropriate - nor am I going to watch the movie for at least two weeks.

The rest of my points stand. You vented on an issue. I vented back. You want to say that you will do "as you have always done" and respect her decision? Great.

But you shouldn't be surprised if it didn't come across that way. Not even rereading it knowing what you are saying now.

Whatever.

The "no poofters" sketch,  aka the Bruces sketch,  might also deserve mention.

Kid didn't want to discuss Biden's jobs initiative.

Hey, I bet he doesn't want to discuss Biden's education budget proposal, either!

Might be good if,  as the article touches on,  people have some restoration of the idea that you cannot get away with certain things,  and that rule of law matters.

Pfft!   Teachers love their jobs,  they don't need any money!   And books?   Students can just read off their Kindles!

And, again, Barton deliberately used repeating Jenner's deadname multiple times for the purpose of getting a reaction and he got one.

You can defend him till the cows come home, Banks, but there was no other utility to its use there, if even that constitutes utility.

Good grief.

You truly missed the reference.   I was riffing off the "Jehovah Jehovah Jehovah!" scene in Life of Brian,  to underscore the absurdity of making a name taboo.   Or giving it wicked magical powers.   No one was being taunted.   Caitlyn can set all the rules she wants...and if I ever meet her,  I will do as I always do,  which is defer to her preferences and whatever ways she wants the past to be the past. 

You're like a prosecuting attorney but there's no court in session,  just a few guys at a message board venting on issues.

The pedantic ones often are zealous!

Baker testifies that the amount of fentanyl in George Floyd's system could have killed him

Difference between you and me is I see that murder and legitimately say, “That could be me. Now every shady thing I did in my life will be put out there ensuring my criminalization despite the fact some cop literally crushed the breath out of me.”

Imagine being slowly killed knowing you’re going to die and there is nothing you can do.

Derek Chauvin murdered Floyd on camera and did not give a fuck.

Good thing that LT didn’t stop before getting to a well lit public area.

Chauvin, the Roman centurian, murdered Barabbas, but Barabbas has now been turned into Jesus.

It's no miracle, like changing water into wine. Just the media applying the appropriate lens of distortion in order to do what really matters in America; make money.

There is nothing about this case to celebrate or from which to extract any real change.

After this trial, criminals will break the law. The police will try to catch them. The politicians will monitor their local citizens and act accordingly.

The media will move on to the next big thing.

And the Floyd family will argue over who gets the $27 million
