https://dailycaller.com/2021/04/19/rep-maxine-waters-police-escort-rioters/ once upon a time in America we sent the best to congress. Those who had common sense, those who thought for them selves, those who had compassion and wit and wanted nothing but the best for our country. How in the hell do we explain to out kids we have elected several people just like Waters. Sad,sorry elitist, racists, communist. She has been pushing her styck since early in the 1990's and Reginald Denny when he was beat to death on camera with concrete blocks....and thru all these years not one dem has stepped up and said enough is enough.
If I had a vote, I’d vote to expel Waters from the House. She’s awful and has been that way for decades. If one thinks Trump is responsible for the Capitol attack, one should also hold Waters accountable for her words encouraging violence.
I have heard people say it, but didn't want to believe it. Now, I am also starting to believe it... they want to start a Civil War.
2 bill dollar in damage... businesses looted and burned down... hundreds of police officers injured...
and now they want to become "confrontational"??? What do you call the riots of 2020? Next step: armed conflict
Pres. Biden has now called the Floyd family and told them that he is praying that evrything will come out OK. Has the Jury been informed that the POTUS wants a guilty verdict?
As I've made clear for a very long time, I believe that Chauvin should get a guilty verdict and think the prosecutor gave us overwhelming evidence from numerous sources to prove it to the jury.
However, the way this one incident has been used by millions of people for political agenda that goes far beyond what is reasonable by several orders of magnitude is pathetic.
Biden included here.
It's one thing for metmike on a forum to give his opinion but him making those statements, is giving people big ammo to riot if there is just one person on the jury with reasonable doubt.
This was so political and irresponsible and ignorant of the potential damage, even if there is just a tiny chance of the jury coming back hung.
Who, reading this right now, does not think that if the jury does not come back with a guilty verdict that there will likely be mass rioting, that includes deaths and cops being murdered in cold blood?
And the president, while not condoning that behavior, he just condoned the outrage and lack of tolerance for a verdict that is anything different than what they MUST have.
"President Biden said Tuesday that he believes the evidence is “overwhelming” in the case against the former Minneapolis police officer accused of murdering George Floyd, making clear that he believes the verdict should be guilty.
“I'm praying the verdict is the right verdict,” Biden said in remarks to reporters in the Oval office. “I think it’s overwhelming in my view.”
Biden made the comments as the jury deliberated whether to convict Derek Chauvin, the former police officer who knelt on Floyd’s neck for nearly nine minutes last summer.
Biden said he wouldn’t have weighed in on the case if the jury had not been sequestered.
It is unusual for a president to weigh in on such a case, and specifically its merits, before a verdict.
Biden spoke earlier in the day with members of the Floyd family."
metmike: This is an outrage and totally political and with the potential to cause unthinkable damage to our country,, several orders of magnitude worse than the insurrection and Trumps diabolical role...............if the verdict DOES NOT come back all 12 jurors voting guilty.
Unlike Trumps very intentional and contrived actions over a 2 month period that led to the insurrection, this is a one time incident but it just lit the fuse on a time bomb with 10,000 times more TNT in it than the 1 in early January that was limited to one place, at one time.
EDIT: The damage that trump did to this country with the fake Biden steal of the election was 1,000 times more than just during that one day on Capital Hill. We are still dealing with it today and will for years.
They only way for that fuse to be snuffed out is with a 12-0 guilty verdict. Biden can ask people to not riot, but he just gave them the reason TO RIOT! Just like Trump, supposedly asked people not to riot on Jan 6th..............after he gave them the reason TO RIOT for 2 months before hand.
The politics being used by our political leaders, including presidents to manipulate people for their side is sickerning and IT IS THE REASON for the increadibly huge war taking place between the parties right now. That war is being pushed hard by the MSN and social media and there is no reason for it to not keep getting worse.
There is no Martin Luther King out there to lead us down the right path and keep us from going deeper into the tunnel of hate for those that disagree with us. All of our top leaders only care about power for their side and brainwashing the people to get it. The brainwashing has been extremely effective..............why would they stop? This is what they want. Forget their bullshit words about unity. Not one of them talks about listening to the other side or love or tolerance or not judging or negotiating or middle ground. It's winner take all and the ends justifies the means...........whatever it takes.
I'm an eternal optimist and will always be positive and there are 10,000 things to be positive about in our world but can't ignore the truth about these dang politicians and the media which are doing their best to do the opposite of what I'm trying to do for their self serving interests.
Can you imagine....................if this were the OJ trial and President Trump was in office and came out before the verdict and contacted the families of the ones that OJ killed in cold blood and did what Biden had done? Telling us that the jury should convict him.
Yes, this is much different because it was a black man, and a cop and we have the video and blacks have a long history of suffering from incidents like this because of racial discrimination and hatred.
So that's much different. But it's the same ETHICAL principle and the same concept applying political responsibility.
And that makes this one 1,000 times more powerful and 1,000 times more dangerous for a president to come in like this to assert his politics.
It's because the mindset of the politicians in this age is impunity from having to answer to any standard of objective ethics.
Use every opportunity, no matter what in order to push your political agenda. Brainwash the people with your agenda.
Sadly, it's getting worse............because it's been working so well!
