| these desperate "republicans" (soon hopefully to be museum pieces) are so unbelievably pathetic. what "ideas" do they have? to "balance the budget". rotflmao theme. when did a republican president ever "balance the budget"? dubya certainly didn't, "reagan" likewise blew up the debt with massive deficits to collapse the soviet union. earlier under nixon bretton woods collapsed, and his first year was one of the very few times the budget was "balanced" which was from lbj's last year, then a few years under eisenhower in the 50s, and then a few more in the late 90s during clinton. and only because of the extreme neoliberal deregulation in the run up to a massive implosion of the tech bubble market, and to really actually cause, half a decade later, the then even more earth shattering global financial crisis when another historical market bubble imploded. it is so funny when scarborough or other "traumatised" republicans bring up "the party of lincoln" from over one hundred and fifty years ago, like it has any resonance whatsoever to partisan politics in 2020. white people are shot by cops all of the time for similar situations of the most recent tragedy. these traumatised republicans on msnbc and the neoliberal establishment democrats are manipulating and exploiting the "woke" "left" in order to win back power for the corporations for "stability" for tptb, plus the republican party can "try" to go back to smooth assholery after they put down trumpism. obey police officers and in tense situations put one's hands up. police suck for a lot of different reasons, shitty laws and training most of all, however americans are armed to the teeth! if anyone, of any ethnicity, behaves in an ambiguous manner during a confrontation where police are called, the presumption is that a gun or guns are concealed or around. all jacob had to do was comply with officers and not randomly run over to his car and open the door going/reaching inside. to a police officer this is akin to a threat of deadly force itself, hence, they are trained to respond pre-emptively to that "threat". recently a white man was killed crawling around on the floor, there are also countless suicide by cops and other "mistaken" shootings all of the time. blm is unfortunately a vector for deranged angry humans to riot, harrass, and generally behave like assholes to whoever they set their eyes on, especially when not black, the high irony of all of this. |
