It becomes illegal to tell the truth about leftists.

BLM were Obama/the Left’s SA-Brownshirts or Red Guards. They caused chaos for a distinct political purpose.
Their goal was to eliminate the independence of 3000+ local police and sheriffs and put them under DOJ/FBI control
Notice how no one talks about “defunding” any Fed.gov police?
Just like every other totalitarian regime in history.
The police are now here to restrain those who would stop the criminals
No surprise.
When you put criminals in charge, they disarm and arrest the police and law-abiding citizens.
They give their fellow criminals free reign to loot, burn, pillage, assault, rape, plunder and murder.
That was the most depressing analysis I’ve ever read. The worst part is I agreed with most of it.
The truth is, the people in charge of law enforcement at the upper levels in this government care as much about people breaking the law as the inner party cared about the proles (or the common criminals) breaking law in Orwell’s “1984”.
People are now punished for being in the wrong political party.

When was the last time 17 Senate Democrats broke away from most Senate Democrats—with the assistance of Senate Democratic leadership in the Senate—to help Republicans enact Republican policies overwhelmingly opposed by Democratic voters nationwide?
It’s never happened.

In the ruling the following was stipulated.
“Protection against excessive fines has been a constant shield throughout Anglo-American history for good reason: Such fines undermine other liberties. They can be used, e.g., to retaliate against or chill the speech of political enemies. They can be employed, not in service of penal purposes, but as a source of revenue. The historical and logical case for concluding that the Fourteenth Amendment incorporates the Excessive Fines Clause is indeed overwhelming.“
If you want to really be depressed, I am thinking that the only role Conservatives have in this world is to pick up the pieces of what these jackasses break.
Nothing gets you in trouble like telling the truth.
The Soros bimbo has screwed the pooch... it's O-VAR,,,
Same here.
Yes, it is, and it has a name: Critical Legal Studies, an arm of the overall Marxian Critical Theory bundle of doctrines. Simplified, it holds that all law is a manifestation of a privileged class exerting political power over an oppressed class. There is no possibility of a legal system built on equal justice for all, contrary to one of the most core beliefs in the American constitutional system.
Here I differ slightly from Greenfield - despite devout protestations to the contrary, there is no adjustment possible in this system, no "punching up" and "punching down"; what is possible is only the change in which classes populate the punchers and the punchees respectively. This is the meaning of the "We're in charge now" mantras - the only thing that changes is the "we", and social justice is in the continuation of oppression, not its elimination.
Yes, this, like most of CT, is profoundly cynical and nihilistic, but it is easily understood (the Left is grossly intellectually lazy, after all) and a very exploitable conduit for the resentment and envy that confer the political power necessary to effect it. The upshot is that there can be no equal justice for all, and that the cycle of oppression is eternal. The people perpetuating this nonsense look evil because they are.
Daniel Greefield is an excellent writer and he did a good job explaining it.
I have been saying much the same for years, but not all in one place.
He hits the mark when he notes this is a regression to the more common, former state of unlimited government power.
Those in charge want to keep power and enlarge it.
The genius of the American system was to hold the power in check and provide ways for a peaceful transfer of power.
Progressives wanted/want unlimited power in government, very similar to the Pharoahs.
Beware Beware the thought police are everywhere;
It’s way pass time to just shoot these tyrants.
The Tree Of Liberty is very thirsty.
