    I can explain as to why.Because Dershowitz has been a loyal
    advocate and funder for the ACLU. That ACLU no longer exists.
    They have not changed but been bought off.George Soros { Largest
    benefactor to the ACLU and also funder for BLM.}
    Because Jewish Lawyers from the Big Apple have always been
    instrumental in the ACLU.Not Knows Mores.That is why a few years ago
    Dershowitz sort of left the Democrat Party.Even though he maintains he voted
    for Hillary and I'm not sure about Trump.He did support Trump on many Issues.
    In fact,was Invited to the Trump White House during the Ceremony to Celebrate
    Israel Issues and also Naming of Jerusalem as it's Embassy.
    Dershowitz knows full well the direction the Country has been on.
    It's now more Anti-Semitic than ever.Just like this Squad of 4 females.
    Plus the ACLU weighed in on the Kavanaugh Nomination.
    They've never done that before.

    Perhaps, but things said while they were sequestered won't be one of them.

    Ok, go ahead and write your articles of Impeachment for Maxine. Please include any quotes or actions that you think should be included.

    You can leave out the legalese, but include any actions that caused an insurrection or created a national security risk by withholding funds from an ally at war.

    This oughta be fascinating...

    I was agreeing with Pants about Nelson's defense performance. Curious, how did you miss that?

    Funny stuff. When liberals like you can't recognize what true liberalism is, you're intolerance of the permissive entitlement folks like you observe, it precludes you from seeing how far astray you've gone. That Derschowitz can maintain an opinion of the law that dissatisfies you then leads to this outrageous post of yours. It just tickles me to read things like this.

    Nicely put, but, the thing is, isn't it true that a little humility goes a long ways for just about everyone in every endeavor?

    The inherent problem is that for jobs with guns they tend to attract people on power trips. I wonder if the system is doing everything it can possibly do to weed such persons out. Apparently not.

    Because I require CLARITY. Not expanded roundabout ways to say
    something that can be said in a straightforward manner.
    I don't have time to unpack groupthink or BLM nonsense.

    I believe they applied CPR and other stuff to him the moment he was in the ambulence, and then they took him to another spot, away from the crowd.
    I believe your ''...got the heck away from the mob to ensure their own safety first" is an unfair characterization. I'd give them the benefit of the doubt and believe they removed him so that they could apply CPR, etc, in the ambulance while they drove him to another spot away from interference from the crowd.

    Nevertheless, the damning fact is that Chauvin and the cops kept their knees on Floyd with Floyd in the prone position well past his being responsive, and past his losing a pulse, to the tune of 3 or 4 minutes, which is critical. No amount of hollering about fair trial crap changes that fact, and but for that fact, it is well within reason to conclude he might still be alive and therefore those cops are guilty of manslaughter, at the very minimum.

    How do you extrapolate comments on this trial to other trials and what you call a prevailing right wing narrative?

    Yet another example of a liberal stereotyping. Is it a stereotype to say that liberals claim to detest stereotyping?

    Dems and libs have better organization. That's for sure. Also, a more consistent approach. The Republican Party has always been riddled with sell outs. Rush talked about this many times - according to him the Republican Party wanted to be the party of losers, not have to do anything but make promises, and cash in. Newt Gingrich is the greatest example of what is now called a RINO - whereas his type has always held the leadership positions in the Republican Party. Look at how Newt caved at the first chance and sold out those who believed the Contract With America Was Real.

    So then why is it such a momumental task for Big City Democrat
    Mayors to clean up their Own Dodge.There is a daily,weekly slaughter
    in Left-leaning Democrat controlled { including city councils }
    City's.That has nothing to do with Cops and Everything to do with
    WHO does the Killing.It's Blacks killing other Blacks.Where within the last
    week in a Chicago McDonadls drive-thru a little 7 year old Black girl
    was assassinated in front of her Father,also a target.
    In their car.
    Explain to those here at PF how's that the Fault of Cops and
    systemic Racism.

    That threatening, "promise," is getting a little bit worn out, from overuse. The forum was bespeckled with posters, yesterday (& before then), promising that, even in celebration, black rioters would set Minneapolis ablaze...
    You've heard the story of The Boy Who Cried, "Wolf!" haven't you?

    You are making a mountain out of a molehill.

    This was simply my personal observation.

    Again todays Left and their Democrat Party are being exposed
    to the sunlight of truth.Where their words,actions and constant
    implications are the real Indication.Plus of course the most " Corrupt "
    Free Mainstream Media in our History.
    Due partly to Trump no longer in Office.They have no one to taint
    as the purveyor of all the evils in this Republic.
    Trump was the Grand Master of Boogeyman.
    See Trump on TV and repeat real fast ...
    Trump Trump Trump
    Or better still :
    Candyman Candyman Candyman
    Or better still
    Guilty Guilty Guilty
    This is now a Childs narrative.A virtual Cartoon turned Reality.
    But then that is how Obama thunk.Like the Benghazi attack.
    It was all due to some Muhammad Video.
    Be 4 real

    That's a Public display of open emotion.
    How about the 7 year old Child shot to death in the head
    alongside her Father in a Chicago McDonads Drive-thru.
    Mere days ago.Where's the Emotion for That.
    Let me take a wild stab here ... That wasn't from any cops.

    Personally I question weather Chauvin was actually judged by a jury of his peers. More to the point, if any of us can really expect to be judged by a jury of our 'peers' in todays society. I figure I've got about as little of a chance of getting a fair trial in Seattle for example for a gun charge than someone would here in my little 'right wing redneck town' for a drug charge. The fact that many cases would likely result in opposite outcomes depending on where those cases are held and from which population the jury is derived is, to say the least, problematic for the interest of a just society. And no, I don't how to fix it.

    Boy Oh Boy ... Jim Dandy on Parade.How inane yer interpretation of
    Pols.You are sadly mistaken.And I'll prove it.
    Not because My Arguments CANNOT be broken.
    Gingrich ran for the same office as did Jeb Bush and John Kasich
    in the 2015 Presidential GOP field .
    Jeb was a weak candidate and easily sold out.If - Morning Joe -
    is any indicator.Kasich talked tough but was also willing to bend like
    some Daisy instead a tire iron.But Not Gingrich.He was built Tough.
    It was Gingrich who made headlines by maintaining { Insisting ? } that
    the current POTUS { Obama } Was the Food Stamp President.
    Which of course he was.But this pathetic Obama-adoring MSM took
    immediate offense.Because as we now know ... That is what they do.
    You are Confusing Former Speaker John Boehner { an eventual
    Obama toady } to Newt Gingrich.
    Can't really blame Boehner.He grew-up dirt poor in some
    small Ohio Town where his pappy ran a small Bar where the
    Boehners lived atop.John grew up sweeping the bars floors.
    He became an honorable Republican swearing if elected
    he would not { never } take Earmarks.
    He now lives the good life in Florida in a nice home
    with a well stocked Wine cellar.Plenty of sun and Golf.
    All that was required was to sell-out to Obama and the Globalist.
    As in ... Easy Breezie ... Lemon Squeezie !

    This poster never suggested Minneapolis be burning if the accused is found guilty on all counts.

    He was, the city is safe. Until another black person is “accosted” by the police. The way it’s going, blacks will soon riot if police givem a dirty look.

    That's a non-sequitor response to my noting that the, "cities will burn," line, being thrown around about the expected behavior of black Americans, in all sorts of situations, is wearing a little bit thin.

    That is specifically why Jury Selection is crucial.I remember when I was summoned for
    Jury duty on a murder trial,I was asked during voir dire about the death openalty,I answered
    that as Catholic was taught that the death penalty is not considered in my Faith.
    It's a sin.That has always been the standard for Catholics.
    Same thing used to apply to Abortion.
    Or Marriage as Institution.Before long,it may be against the law to wear
    white socks.Because most Southern Bigots { Klansman } dressed in white
    shirts with black slacks and thick heavy black shoes and ... You got it.
    White socks.

    Then please cite a non-sequitor example by the Mob.Whether the Democrats
    or BLM.Or CNN and MSNBC combined.
    The only thing that makes sense from that bunch is that they are :
    Senseless
