Monitoring Biden and other Contemporary Events

Somehow we have got to get the police (and our military) under control with regard to personal freedom sensibilities. Anyone who does not see our police forces as critically slanted against people of color...is purposefully blind. I'm kind of lucky in that department. I have a dozen cops in my family...and most are OUTSPOKEN about the need for their fellow cops to stop the bullshit. It is entirely possible for a cop to be both white...and non-racist. Unfortunately, that is not the rule as yet.

You're so uninformed.

Formerly progressive Democrats caved to fear about the term 'defund the police.' They could have explained the content of the program--or just called it something else--but they just walked away from the life-saving, smart response to a bloated, swaggering, over-armed militaristic police force.

Except for your claim about Blatham. Blatham is one of the most informed here. I've learned from almost everything they've posted.

Reagan created this damn mess and no one has tried to solve it.
The treatment of mentally ill Americans is a national disgrace—and the dangerous, horrifying streets of SF and LA et al with homeless encampments filled with unserved mentally ill people are an intentional creation of our government.

While this is happening, Turkey was just rocked with a terrorist bomb attack.

Wonder what will happen.

It appears that today is the day that the US has decided to stop BRICS.

You know what, A2K folks? It trips me the hell out, and I wish it wasn't the case, but I'm afraid it is:
After all this investigation, and hearings and subpoenas and announcements and media scrum for two years...
When everyone here realizes that NOTHING is going to happen to Trump, I bet it will barely inspire even as much as a shrug.
The malaise and inertia is amazing. You just don't give a ****.

Look at this guy. I swear it seems to me as if he’s just hoping; just PRAYING that everyone just sort of forgets about him, and leaves him be.

This is the guy we were depending on to prove that no one is above the law.


Look at him.

If Trump announces for President, it will be because it would stymie the Justice Department. Hard to go after an announced Presidential candidate.

Only in people’s minds. There is NOTHING in the law that should hinder the prosecution of a candidate.

Missile strike in Poland ‘probably an unfortunate accident’ used by Ukrainian air defence, says president
Poland’s president Andrzej Duda has said the missile that landed in his country and killed two people appears to be an “unfortunate accident”.

It was highly probable that the rocket, which was Russian-made, was used by the Ukrainian air defence, he added.

There were no grounds to believe that the missile incident was an intentional attack, Duda said, or that the rocket was launched by the Russian side.

The thorniest among those legal issues stems from the August FBI search on his home at Mar-a-Lago—also the site of Tuesday’s announcement—which uncovered more than 100 classified documents Trump had taken from the White House and which his lawyers had claimed had been returned in response to a grand jury subpoena. Experts in classified document cases have been saying for months that there’s already more than enough public evidence available to indict Trump, particularly given the apparent obstruction of justice involved in the case.

“If Trump were anyone else, he would have already faced a likely indictment,” Bradley Moss, a leading private attorney in classified documents cases, told NBC News last week. Trump likely hasn’t been indicted yet only because of a DOJ policy against taking prosecutorial steps that might be seen as interfering in an election—it prohibits any interference in the 60 days leading up to any election, in this case, the midterms. That midterm election, however, just ended. Which begs the question: What would it look like to prosecute Donald Trump now that the midterms are over and his is again a candidate for president?
