In the aftermath of George Floyd's death while in Minneapolis police custody in May 2020, millions of Americans took to the streets to protest the manner in which he was killed while calling for greater attention to criminal justice reform throughout the United States.

However, Trump was not keen on the protests surrounding Floyd's death, and in a phone call with governors stressed that they needed to display a show of force against the activism that was increasingly becoming a part of the national conversation, according to a forthcoming book by New York Times reporters Jonathan Martin and Alexander Burns.

“Activism” was part of the national “conversation”?????

Are these people for real?

So rioting and burning down buildings are “activism” as part of a national “conversation”. These are all part of dialogue on the issues of the day.

ok then....................

The disinformation campaign is in full swing.

I think this means they can’t get a conviction in the courts or from the J6 kangaroo court.

And how many governors have said to people (about the current president): “OMG, this guy really does have dementia. I don’t think he knows who he is.”

The New York Times hacks up another fur ball while sliding into the grave.

Alex Christoforou of The Duran was mocking the Times today because the Times came out with an article saying that Ukraine would be victorious in 2 to 4 weeks - even as the Russians are grinding the Donbass pocket and most of the Ukrainian army to dust...

Is this the same Maine governor who said she could suspend any law or create any law she wanted to and the only reason she needed was that “someone might get sick?”

“…millions of Americans took to the streets to protest the manner in which he was killed while calling for greater attention to criminal justice reform throughout the United States.”

It is curious that the only places calling for “criminal justice” reform are cities with horrendous crime rates. Cities where residents are respectful of the laws and each other don’t really need that “reform.” And, most of those cities are probably even safer now that cops are fleeing the cities that coddle criminals for jobs where they know they are appreciated.

Indeed. They boldly assert that their violence is speech and our silence (that is, our refusal to endorse their ‘speech’) is violence. One cannot reason with such irrationality.
