McMichael jammed himself on the stand today.

Truth is truth

Yup.

But why on Earth he chose to testify is beyond any of the lawyers I know and his co-defendants must be furious with him.

[kidcarter8]

Rather than just let the press's version be THE version?

I dont know.

I dont know.

The jury wasn't reading the press's version, though, Kid. They watched the video, listened to the testimony.

His statements undermined the defense.

Dead is dead.

The truth is the defendants chased down and murdered a man for jogging while Black.

I posted the picture of Thunberg opposite Rittenhouse. It was labeled our 17 year old vs. their 17 year old.

Ham asked if I was asserting that it is us vs. them.

I've thought about that question since he asked it and considered how I wanted to answer it.

The answer is that whether I like it or not, the answer is currently yes. There is a chasm between how black adolescents are treated and white, when there is no knowledge of a crime's having been committed. There is a chasm between how certain corporations behave around preserving the planet and how the citizens need them to treat the planet. There is an abyss between how the vast majority of GOP congressmen (Reps and Senators both) treat the laws of the land and how others do.

And for the most part, as I have pointed out previously, the response of the GOP to any attempts to compromise, to find middle ground, is to back away further rather than to come closer to said middle ground.

Whether it was Cruz's refusal to vote to fund emergency money for New Jersey, Trump's intransigence about Puerto Rico, or the failure of all but two Republicans to be willing to censure Rep Gosar, the pattern of their collective behavior makes it Them vs. Us, even if "Us" refuses to see or acknowledge it.

And "Us" is not the far left or somewhat left. "Us" is the nation as we have known it. Would that it were not so.

And no, I don't know how to fix it, but I do know that simply lying down and letting them trample "us" is not the way.

We need the so called moderates to let go of the filibuster to pass voter protection and electoral standards.

Otherwise small d democracy is dead in the USA and the grand experiment of 1776 will be dismantled.

Recognize yourself, Larry?

Clearly, you fit the profile.

No one plays the victim better than straight white males...

I guess that makes you the exception.

Of course.

[facilitatorn]

So, you want me to post something that doesn't exist?

Sorry, Lawrence, but it was you who made a statement that they had accomplishments in Congress, and you have yet to show what they exactly are.

Maybe just STFU, and admit you fucked up once again.

But then, that never happens, does it?

We will have to just chalk it up as another one in the L column for you, Little Larry.

Heh

The Squad is making virulent racists visibly uncomfortable which is making them easier to identify when it would further their racist interests more to just STFU.

This is important because, as we move further into a post-racist society it is good to identify those we are at the end going to have to simply leave behind.

Bye Felicia.

Look, I know you're trying to help out your friend, but that isn't what was asked.

Nice attempt to redirect, though.

Ciao, Lydia.

Do your own homework, chin stain.

It is called PROJECTION, Vic.

I am so sorry your ego was crushed by Black women in authority throughout your career.

The professional right wing has become a festering cesspit gumbo of various promiscuous criminal elements interbreeding and sharing their diseases.

They will take as much as they can until they are stopped.

But then he would not have the sensual thrill of MAKING me hop to his tune.

Poor boy.

It would be cool right now for Greyhound to bring back the SPECIAL where you can ride anywhere in the USA for $69.

I would recommend for everyone to get out there and to see the USA and to meet the people of America. It is a life changing experience and you will have a deeper love of the USA after having seen the country and after having met the people. And for $69 you can not beat it, get out there and see the USA if the chance ever happens.

One memory is going though the mountains of Colorado at night in the winter listening to Garth Brooks on someone's little ghetto blaster, during a blizzard. The lady next to me shared her blanket. It was a great experience. If you get the chance to ride a Greyhound across the country then I recommend it, and if they bring back the $69 special then it is totally advisable to go see America on a Greyhound.

Salute,

Tony V.

My buddies from the Military are all marrying the Russian brides, as they retire.

Then they fish and raise children in Montana.
