If they went Gaza on any city in America, then we have the justification to kill ALL government authorities.

OR, the situation becomes a case of mutually-assured destruction, like the Cold War. The cops don't want that fight, and the Panthers know it. ALL Cops are cowards at their core, they can't exist in society without carrying an arsenal, and elevating themselves above their fellow citizens. They won't engage someone they KNOW is equally armed, and BETTER TRAINED, and knows the law better.

They'd rather go after poor working people just trying to get by. They are more compliant, and can't afford lawyers.

Cop: "You have a good day."

BP: "You have a bad one, sell out! Get the fuck out of here!"

There's a small speaker icon on the lower right. I had to adjust the screen a bit to find it, and press it. It's much better with sound, as one of the Panthers tears into the black cop, calling him a sell-out.

First degree because they were ordered to shoot a vehicle blocker, make an example, and send a message.

Who gave the order, and how high does it go?

Hard to have a discussion with someone who makes up the facts.

The VP absolutely is an elected position, and is usually responsible for a significant portion of the President's votes.

They normally choose a VP candidate based on how many votes they will bring, and Kamala was chosen because she could deliver the black vote to an otherwise lily-white campaign, and that black vote was an important factor in Biden's win. There is no denying this.

So what? It wasn't the ideal situation, but we were faced with a bit of an emergency when it became clear that Biden wasn't up to the job. It wasn't like she was chosen randomly, she was the VP, so she had already been part of the 2020 winning team, so she was next in line, and the logical choice.

The idea that somehow she was an illegitimate candidate, making the biggest traitor in American history the ONLY possible choice, is STUPID.

Stop parroting that lame Democratic excuse that the 2024 race was Fair & Square.

Trump has cheated at literally everything he's done in his entire life. It's why he's so profoundly ignorant - he paid or bullied other kids to do every bit of his homework, and learning absolutely nothing.

So we're supposed to believe that the one race that could keep him out of a lifetime prison sentence, was the one race he DIDN'T cheat in? Even when he had the open support and commitment from two foreign Oligarchs with massive hacking networks, and unlimited resources?

It's bad enough that MAGAs think we're that stupid, but it is absolutely INSULTING that the Dems believe we're that stupid. We should be infuriated at their lame excuse, invented to let them off the hook for their cowardice, weakness, and fecklessness.

Details like that don't matter.
