I don’t say it’s “completely “ socioeconomic. Just that it’s a huge factor, essentially being ignored. And I just don’t get the “avoidance”. It’s not assigning “blame” to those in such circumstances. To the contrary, it’s pointing out inequalities. It’s tragic.
I would have loved to have a chance to ask follow up with De blasio after hecsaid he would never buy a car again. “Does that mean you won’t ride in a limo?” Are you pledging from this day forward only to take public transit. The man is a wingnut. He’s going to destroy NYC.
Question on the hearing – somebody told me the networks aired Nadlers opening comments live and then cut away. I suspect that is not correct. Anyone know?
You can find a study to support just about any conclusion you want to draw. I take it all with a heavy dose of salt. Way too many unknown unknowns.
Heck, you only have to go back as far as Woodrow Wilson. You don’t even have to get to Andrew Johnson.
Wrong? Me? Never! Although had the Feds simply surrounded the perimeter of Fed property to protect it, I could “support “ that. FWLTIW.
Again – my criticism with having the feds as engaged as they were and are is that it has given an “enemy“ to the mayor and governor which provides them cover. Dawg is right as to who is to blame . But by bringing in the Feds, the Mayor etc can blame Trump. Which is exactly what they want to do.
I did not comment originally because I wanted other people to do so first. My view is this video should be shown on 60 minutes, CNN, ABC ‘s 20/20 , Fox and every other major outlet that it can get on. Why? Because the Officer brings home the fact that what is happening in Portland now has little or nothing with Black Lives Matter and everything to do with a bunch of anarchists simply wanting to bring havoc. That is the message that the police officer drives home and the one that needs to be heard.
And horrific precedent set. Leave political prisoners to the Chinese. The terrorism charge is a political move. We don’t need that.
The office has changed a bit from the day Truman took over for FDR – and learned for the first time about the Manhattan Project.
No chance. He has to select an African American. And since he’s already limited his choice to a woman, it will be an AA woman. Probably Harris.
