You love WhatAboutIsm huh?

Your very comment was clearly designed to say "You are mad about cops killing black people, but clearly not upset about black people killing black people?"

This article is about police, the clear lies they told, there indifference to this mans lifves, and the multiple training protocols that they violated and completely ignored.

Jesus, there are ENDLESs events and programs and institutions that fight all violence, including black on black on a regular basis...

That in no way makes what these officers did acceptable or okay.

Nope.....

They found dead people who were registered to vote, they found people that were registered to vote in several locations....but they found no evidence of people voting "2 or 3 times." They also found no evidence of "dead people" voting....they just found that voter registries had not been updated to account for all of the people that have died. They also found that the people registered in more than one place, it was a fault of the government for not removing their names from the previous voter rolls, not the people themselves.

The "illegal immigrants" is a joke. Zero proof this happened....not one "illegal alien" has been arrested for casting a vote....

But guess what, how about NC? You know, where a republican is accused of actual ballot fraud that swung an election...with actual facts to back up the claim.

Also, why is it you think any "illegal" vote would only be for Hilary? Why is it when people "vote illegally" it would only be in favor of a democratic candidate.....This is asinine.

Republicans conspire to suppress the vote, just like in GA, where they limited voter booths in lower economic black neighborhoods, they kicked a high percentage of legal voters off of the registry, most of them black people. They didn't supply power cords to voting machines so people couldn't vote...in black neighborhoods.

Nah, Democrats fight for clean elections......

Republicans fight to stop the minority from voting....

This is fact. This is the truth.

Making up some fantasy land about make belief fraud isn't reality...it's just what it is....a fantasy.

Truth is, Trump found no evidence of "rampant voter fraud." Every single study ever conducted has backed up the fact that they find no evidence to back up this claim.

But believing Donald is like believing your three your old who says they didn't eat the cake......while talking with a mouth full of cake........no one with any reasoning skills believes him after the countless lies he's told.

Yeah, zero link from the tax breaks to job creation.

These "tax" breaks you talk about are all find and dandy for now, but the government cut it's revenue without cutting it's spending. Also, remember those individual tax breaks, expire after 6 years....which will mean the government will have to significantly increase the tax rate to above what it was before pre tax cuts in order to climb out the national debt that the tax breaks are adding too.

For conservatives to say "We are fiscally" responsible.....and then approve a measure that is guaranteed to add over a trillion dollars to the deficit s rather comical.

The #1 thing that drives a consumer market are people buying consumables....replacing your t-shirt, buying some new blankets, new shoes for your family....this is the #1 driving force of our economy, consumable purchases make up over 60% of our entire economy......

The #1 group that spends on consumables.....the middle and poor class, guess who don't spend on consumables? Corporations, and rich people. So giving more money to the rich does nothing to drive this economy......

When you give the middle class buying power, the economy thrives, take it away and the economy tumbles. Rich do not do much for our economy...they hoard money, they don't spend more. They have everything they want and need....but your middle class mother, she might like a new recliner in her house....but that couple hundred dollars is too much for her.

Middle class keeps the economy going, and putting more money in the hands of the rich is an utter joke...it's because of greed. When you have more money in your bank account than you can spend in your lifetime.....you don't need any more money.... but when your furnace breaks and you have decide between paying the $500 repair bill or paying your mortgage.........that extra 30 million the billionaire put away this year must make you feel damn good....

Re: GOP opens door to new NC election amid fraud claims

IceHot — Tue, 11 Dec 2018 15:13:39 -0000

LOL...you sound like an idiot.

"I AM A REPUBLICAN. I BELIEVE IN LESSER GOVERNMENT AND MORE RIGHTS FOR THE INDIVIDUAL STATE."

So, some how California following their own election laws is fraud.....

NC breaking their own election laws is not fraud though?

This isn't a tit for tat you moron.

NC election officials saw something weird, they investigated it and it's CLEAR as day that not only were votes not turned in, but ballots were filled out for people, and other people picked up ballots. All of this being illegal in NC.

Hate to burst your little brain bubble.......but if you live in a state, an that state has laws, and violate those laws.......what laws other states have in effect has no bearing on the laws of the sate you live in.

NC voting laws were violated and broken.......
CAL voting laws were not violated or broken......

See how that works

He has no chance in any of this.

It's a waste of tax payer money for a judge to even spend time listening to this case.

Does bruce fail to realize that the majority of Hoar and Bond supporters would have voted for Golden instead because they despised BP....and he more than likely would have won the election under the old method and the new method.

Bruce....think about it this way.......................

Of all of the people that Voted for Bond and Hoar......you had to be either 3rd or 4th ranked on the ballot.....most likely 4th.

So you were in last place on the majority of the ballots that voted for Hoar or Bond.....You had no chance regardless of the voting method.

You lost buck-a-roo. Stop crying, pick up your pull ups and peacefully transition your duties to Golden and disappear from public eye and go do something else. We don't want or need you anymore.

Well....

Because if the boycott is hitting private families and small business owners.....they will be less likely to vote for her, or more importantly spread the word that her decision is costing them their livelihoods.

In doing so, those people who have blindly supported her over the years will think twice about it.

Re: WATCH: Cops Assault, Arrest Man for Exercising His 1st Amendment Right to Say ‘Motherf*****’

IceHot — Wed, 15 Aug 2018 16:44:34 -0000

Yes.....

The crime would be "criminal tresspassing" because you are violating a store policy....not a law. Criminal tresspassing cannot be considered a crime unless you refuse to leave or return after being warned.

This man was walking away from the Walmart after being warned.....he had broken no laws.

A "criminal trespass warning" is just that a documented warning...

You aren't even required to give your name or information for the "warning." The police are just to tell you and document that you were told to leave and not return.

This guy was clearly walking away from the Walmart store......nothing dictates that you have to use closest exit to you, nothing says that you have to walk at a particular speed, and nothing says you can't talk back to the police while leaving.

This cop was looking to escalate the situation because he didn't like the guys attitude.

Well guess what, having an attitude isn't illegal....and you may not like him....and this cop may not like him....but it doesn't make it a crime.

Re: Over 200 CMP customers joining class-action suit alleging they were overbilled

IceHot — Wed, 18 Jul 2018 15:49:28 -0000

A lot of hate for the money these lawyers will make fighting this case.

1) If the lawyers don't fight for our rights in a civil case who does? I sure as heck don't want to start representing myself against a company as large as CMP with their vast resources to bury me with paperwork for the next 15 years...

2) No one likes working for free.....so what should these lawyers do? Just not be lawyers?

3) How is this case not more about the public's interest in a private utility company raking us over the coals, if a lawsuit is not brought.....CMP would continue to get away with it....

4) The people do get compensation, it won't be A TON...but they will get something.

5) This will force CMP to make sure they are conducting themselves in appropriately and not ignoring issues, like known issues wtih smart meters rate clocks increasing in speed........

I just think all of this bashing on a lawfirm that is trying to right the ship is mis-placed blame....

Blame CMP for forcing it to come to a point where a class action lawsuit has to filed in order to elicit some remedy for the problem.

Re: Judge says Maine Republicans must use ranked-choice voting in primary

IceHot — Thu, 31 May 2018 11:31:49 -0000

So.........

What you are saying is we should leave the voting process alone because Mainers are too lazy to be-informed voters?

So, you should really be mad at the people who wait take 15 seconds to learn how it works.

I shall teach it to you though...

1) Create a list of your favorite movies 1-4.

2) replace the first movie on the list with your favorite candidate.

3) replace the second movie on the list with your second favorite candidate

4) replace the third movie on the list with your third favorite candidate.

See, RCV.......you create a list.

Ever done this before? The absurdity that people think creating a list takes too much effort is nuts.

Re: Judge says Maine Republicans must use ranked-choice voting in primary

IceHot — Thu, 31 May 2018 11:26:56 -0000

I agree...this is so funny...

These people are acting like

1) They don't know how to create a list form favorite to least favorite
2) That they have to actually tally and count the votes themselves.

Stop thinking it's "complicated" because its not...

Re: Judge says Maine Republicans must use ranked-choice voting in primary

IceHot — Thu, 31 May 2018 11:19:05 -0000

Really?

You find this confusing?

I just don't understand how people think this is confusing?

Current election system "Pick your favorite candidate."

New Election system "Rank your candidates from most to least favorite."

What is so hard about this? It seems the people complaining about change are the people who choose not to look up how RCV works.

Instead of picking your favorite of the bunch, you just rank the bunch from most liked to least liked.....you don't have to personally do the math on the ballot to tally a winner.

Wouldn't you rather see a majority winner that most Mainers want than someone less than 40% of the state want?

Maine has a strong independent presence that win a fair amount of seats. Independents often force vote-splitting along a party line.

The reason republicans are up-in-arms about this voting method is because they know it helps independents and democrats WAY more than them. Where Maine people often vote for an nonindependent, the majority of those would vote or a democrat over a republican as a second choice........

So, if a republican candidate doesn't get the majority right out of the gate, republicans (specifically the tea party) then they know they will likely lose that election.

Re: White House Correspondents' Association rebukes Trump over tweet on press credentials

IceHot — Wed, 09 May 2018 15:32:03 -0000

Right.......We are all against Trump because of "fake media"

You whats so dumb about this comment is that it's not true.

We are against Trump because he clearly lies and we can see it from videos of himself...no one has to "report the stories" all we have to do is hit "play" and watch the lies fall out of his mouth.

Stormy Daniels He litterally said "No it didn't happen." Denied they had intercourse and everything about it..

Then it changes to "I didn't know about the payments by my personal lawyer Cohen."

Then it changes to "I didn't find out until after he paid her."

Then it changes to "Not only did I know about the payments but I agreed to pay my lawyer back.

And that's just the most recent events.

His racist statements...not interpreted as racist but direct racist statements.

Such as......stating that people running over disabled people while marhcing with masks and tikki torches had 'good people"

Or that a "Mexican judge can't be fair because of his Mexican heritage"...so he litterally said someone couldn't do something because of their nationality. That is the textbook definition of racism.

Then don't even get us started on how you can claim he knew nothing about Russia.

Some 20+ people that he either appointed or had very close relations with on his campaign are linked not only to collusion with Russia but also for lying.

Trump Jr took a meeting with a russian laywer with direct links to the Kremlin on the basis of discoverning "dirt on hilary" yet we don't think collusion started?

Jeff Sessions states under oath he never met with a Russian official....only to state he had several times and it was in fact someone the American government considered a spy.

Then you have Manafort and the list goes on and on and on and on.

So to sugges that the "media" has formed our opinion...nope.

Direct video tapes and documents that tells us an unfiltered truth.

Thats why we choose to dislike this man and continue to call him the WORST and I really mean the WORST POTUS in US history.

Re: Bright light on family of Sacramento police shooting victim

IceHot — Wed, 28 Mar 2018 07:15:55 -0000

1) He didn't pull anything from his pocket, the cell phone was already in his hand....

2) The police alleged that it was the same person, the family disputes that fact.

3) Breaking a glass door to a house or looking into the window of a car should not be a death sentence.

4) How about you stand in your own backyard....all of a sudden you hear a voice screaming...but you weren't expecting it so you don't immediately process what they said. Your immediate uncontrollable reaction to this loud yelling is to look in the direction of the screaming. You turn your head and your body to see what it is......then you are shot dead because as you turn to face the direction of the noise your cell phone becomes visible to the officer....so they shoot you........

#4 is really what happened....they yelled, he turned....they shot. It took them less than 2 seconds to go from command to firing 20 shots, 15 of which were at a lifeless body on the ground.........

Do you defend the cop who shot a man standing in his own doorway for pulling up his pants?

Or how about the unarmed man crawling on his hands and knees in a hotel lobby?

Or how about a man reaching for his wallet during a traffic stop?

Or how about a man lying face down on a subway station platform getting shot in the back??

When do you say the fact that police are killing unarmed citizens at an alarming rate is enough and true police reform is required....

How is it that the majority of police forces in this country have more relaxed rules surrounding use of deadly force than our armed forces do in war torn area's? Seriously, how is it it's okay in America for a cop to shoot someone because they moved a body part...but in war the soldier must wait to be fired upon....and or positively identify the threat.......it's nuts. America is not at war, and these cops need to stop thinking that every single time someone flinches or moves an arm or a leg that they are some how reaching for a none existent gun in an attempt to gun them down.....this fear they have is unjustified....and the fact is....they choose this profession. It's their duty and their job to make sure the people they use deadly force on are in fact attempting to cause harm. This idea that a cop gets to say "I feared for my life" because a guy had a cell phone and that alone will be the reason they never go to trial is tragic.

It's tragic that the majority of Americans no longer believe in the police but actually fear them.

It's a tragic that today parents teach their children to avoid the police rather than to respect and trust them.

It's tragic that when you have a police officer following you that all you wish for is for them to move on away from you.

It's tragic when you see an officer walking down the street and the average instinct is to avoid them rather than engage them.

These feelings did not change over night, it took decades of unfair police practices for the average American to start to have an issue with it.....the gunning down of these men and woman for petty to no crimes at all should be considered 100% unacceptable.
