Derek Chauvin still guilty as fuck
I watched a little of the trial and got to see the defense outlining their key exculpatory points:
- Chauvin was being watched by a menacing looking crowd of onlookers.(Chauvin is the real victim)
- Floyd was on drugs.
- Floyd is a big black guy.
Point #3 alone has been enough to acquit murderous cops in the past. I guess we’ll see.
Republicans ramp up attacks on corporations over Georgia voting law, threaten ‘consequences’
Republicans are attacking corporations to prove how racist the party is. Who the hell still needs proof?
Seems like a man who couldn’t have less to hide:
Representative Matt Gaetz, Republican of Florida, was one of President Donald J. Trump’s most vocal allies during his term, publicly pledging loyalty and even signing a letter nominating the president for the Nobel Peace Prize.
In the final weeks of Mr. Trump’s term, Mr. Gaetz sought something in return. He privately asked the White House for blanket pre-emptive pardons for himself and unidentified congressional allies for any crimes they may have committed, according to two people told of the discussions.
Around that time, Mr. Gaetz was also publicly calling for broad pardons from Mr. Trump to thwart what he termed the “bloodlust” of their political opponents. But Justice Department investigatorshad begun questioning Mr. Gaetz’s associates about his conduct, including whether he had a sexual relationship with a 17-year-old that violated sex trafficking laws, in an inquiry that grew out of the case of an indicted associate in Florida.
As always, the closest thing Donald Trump has to a redeeming quality is how consistently he humiliates his most obsequious stooges.
Floor is yours.
