US Politics Thread

Sorry, impossible. This did not happen. This is not real. I have not even played the video. I refuse to believe it. This is what Skynet came up with when it could not fucking kill one guy. Or his mother. Or the babies, whatever. Oh, wait...

I know what you mean. Things get darker day by day…

This kind of childish tribal thinking sums up the fuckedup-edness of everything in America. It’s a moment when something bright shines through dim-bulb identity politics:

This is delicious. “I am a non-practicing white.”

I'm sure Gayle King will claim that she is an ardent fan of Martin Luther King. But did she really listen to his words??

"I have a dream that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin but by the content of their character."

Does she understand what those words mean? That man... that KING.. stood up for the murdered children. I honestly want to know, if Lindsay Clancey was a black woman would they all have given her the benefit of the doubt? Given the pre-occupation with race and gender in America right now, I'm having a hard time believing it. I think the only one of that jury that didn't try to walk in Clancey's shoes was that guy who held out. He kept the main the main thing. God bless him!

Yeah but no good deed goes unpunished. NBC went looking for dirt on him. Imagine that. He’s retained his anonymity as a juror throughout but because he didn’t vote with the murderous loons, but they want to dox and discredit him.

That is an actual threat to any future jurists: do what we want you to do - or you’ll be punished!

I have a suspicion that there's a bit of progressive over reach here. I think the vast majority of people think Clancey is a murderer. I was out with a friend of mine who moved to New York 20 years ago. I know she's not going to be a fan of Trump, and likely to be a Democratic voter just to try to counter the orange one. I asked her what she thought about the case. She was appalled at the women supporting her. She thought it was clear cut murder, but was sympathetic to the whole postpartum thing. I have a feeling that she's the norm. It's the activist class pushing this. If they're not careful they'll give Trump a hook to bash Democrats. And they'll deserve it if they don't get some basic common sense

Absolutely. One of the jurors said that the prosecution presented no evidence of her having been an abusive mother. Somebody said, well, murdering her kids was kind of proof. But to the activist class, this is wholly irrelevant. To most normal democrats I’m sure they’re horrified by what she did, and especially the aftermath.

Well - I hope they are! Can’t be too sure..

BINGO & BOOM!!!

I don't even think we need Lieutenant Columbo for this.
