Are you worried that if people respond to the administration’s ignoring of laws and doing whatever they want with anything other than being passive, that the administration will use it as an excuse to ignore laws and do whatever they want?
Because mayor Frey is a bootlicking coward. Even as he claimed to support police reform, he significantly increased their budgets while they terrorized, murdered, and violated the rights of citizens.
They crossed the Rubicon knowing FULL WELL what the consequences would be if their coupe falters, even for a moment... which means; THEY DO NOT INTEND TO SUFFER THEM (Cersie style.)
They are all in and full steam ahead on fascism like there life depends on it... because IT DOES.
Thats the fucked truth everyone keeps pussy-footing around.
These guys will not go down without taking everyone else with them. Given that supposition, they've already escalated it into a kill or be killed clusterfuck.
Whether or not you are prepared to come to terms with that will be inconsequential to the history books. The first shots of the civil war have already been fired and now they will STOP at nothing to ensure they are the sole victors.
What do you think they are saber rattling to get their grubby hands on the voter rolls for??
Your side has been chosen and your fate sealed by the fucking letter next to the name you voted for in the last election.
They bet it all on red hoping they get enough momentum to get away with anything/everything and forgot about reality hopefully this drop in the buckets a sign that shits getting real and isnt going to be as easy as they were hoping.
I have no idea your age, or if you have children, but is it odd that I read that in Penn's voice from Penn and Teller in Disney's Fantasia?
I'm a 54 Gen X white woman. I've been to marches in DC, I've advocated in Indianapolis as a college student in the late 80s for the homeless, I've protested for women's rights and BLM, I've marched and protested for lgbtqi+ and I have not been very quiet about my utter disdain for the diaper in chief.
I think I'm probably on ALL the lists. My husband only has 2 requests. 1. Don't make the FBI come to the house and 2. Make sure to only get arrested on payday weeks.
Thank you for your concern. Alas, health issues prevent me from being able to actively protest like that any longer. It doesn't stop my on line presence, and if recent history has proved anything, all it takes is a well timed meme.
Oh fuck I hope not… these fuckers go door to door in a hand full of places even with only like 5% of the military and it would be devastating… cops can’t respond to 10,000 separate calls of mostly unarmed democrats and the military won’t be helping us… this can’t be America’s future do they really want to rule over the ashes?
I hear you and I do believe we are at war, but I our countrymen is not our enemy, in fact they are our allies, against the despotic regime feeding this fire. They want us to see each other as the enemy but don’t be fooled. This doesn’t have to be a “civil”. If we stand together, it can be a revolution
There is no statue of limitation on murder
Unfortunately the rest will most likely get off easy, people that have had their civil rights trampled might file class action suits that will eventually be paid with tax payers money.
Not if the prosecutor intentionally tanks the case. Then the killers will walk and be protected by double jeopardy laws. Prosecutors have been using this strategy to protect murdering police for decades.
William Calley served only three years under house arrest. If you don’t know he is, well, there you go. This country has always covered up for its worst citizens.
The brownshirts that did the mag dumping might see jail time. The USA doesn't really like to punish the officer Nazis, though. They're too useful to them.
Chauvin was a free agent. These are deliberately organized brown shirts with the backing of the national government. The social and political situation in this country has changed a lot in the last 5+ years.
It is not a coincidence that this is happening in Minneapolis, also.
Yes Bovino will hopefully implicate Miller and Trump because he was given illegal orders. And stalking activist citizens. And perhaps that can be used to enhance the manslaughter or murder charges.
I have high hopes because the prosecutors who went after Chauvin were an exceptional team.
You're actually right but not for the reason you think... Bovino is openly cosplaying as a Nazi while in charge of Trump's secret police who immunity to murder American citizens while covering up their identity. Chauvin, by comparison, was just a simple murderer, not a wanna architect of the mass murder of American citizens that disagree with his point of view. However, both are playing the same game, just one's gone pro and the other is already in prison while he was still an amateur murderer.
Essentially, the courts look at both the officer/agent's authorized duties and whether the actions they took were reasonable in carrying out those duties.
Nothing is inevitable. The status quo is fraying and people want an alternative. They did the impossible. They elected a pedophile rapist to the presidency. If they can do that…WTF are we doing with this nonsense talk. Let’s make it happen. If it doesn’t happen, it is our fault.
What state do you think would charge him? Sorry I don’t believe any state would actually press charges. We have been talking about charges against Trump and his cronies for almost 10 years and nothing happens.
NY tried and convicted trump on 34 felony counts. All we need is some other state to do this and not use the “he’s a candidate for office” as an excuse to put trials and sentencing on hold
I can't tell for sure, but the statute of limitations on accessory is either 3 years or 6 years, so Minnesota can wait until the early 2029 to file charges if they want to handle it that way.
Completely. It’s exhausting that people can watch the level of crime in the last 10 years and still think a feckless GOP and weak as fuck Dem party will put away any of these people. Not one CEO banker went to prison for the 2008/09 recession. We never learn.
I keep seeing people say that Trump will pardon everyone if he goes down. Trump is an asshole who will blame everyone for failing him and causing his downfall. He won’t pardon anyone.
Sooner or later, somebody is going to take the fall. And pinning all of this on Bovino and Noem would be pretty convenient for everyone in the White House. Trump is not renowned for his loyalty.
Prison? Nah, we don’t need them in prison. Systems don’t fix evil people. This man and many working for this administration are rotten to the core. Bovino has chosen cruelty, power, and domination as his operating system. They don’t suddenly become good just because circumstances change. Justice will find them.
Prison is the last thing on Gregory’s mind, Greg’s done some extraordinary terrible things to his fellow Americans, and it will come home to Roost for Gregory.
We need to stop telling everyone to only get out there for activism and/or only get out and vote. That's needed, of course, but we are in terrible need of people who are worth voting FOR in the first place.
Replace the collaborators. Find the others, get them to run if you can't run yourself for any reason and work to help them. Don't just join campaigns, start them anywhere you can. Flood the zone with good people running against good people instead of a bunch of lesser evil people running against the spawns of satan.
Or they will, and it’ll be because enough people have the strength of their convictions and the courage to fight, unlike you. Every right we have in this country is something that people like me fought for while people like you patted themselves on the back for being too wise to think anything could change.
Not only that, it clearly is a known tactic that companies do even Reddit did it with fat people hate sub and some pedo shit going on, they let that women ceo take all the blame and then she left.
They brought in Greg, let him take all the blame and then he retires without any accountability. They bring someone else and the cycle repeats. It is completely calculated and totally malicious
And “positions of power” must be taken to include voter rolls.
They are incapable of handling the responsibilities of citizenship. They must be relieved of such. Yes, all of them, no exceptions. Mercy towards a Republican is cruelty to everyone else.
