Comment on Joe Biden’s doubletalk on ‘Defund the Police’

Donald Trump may have lost in the Manhattan court where a jury recently convicted him of 34 felonies, but there’s one place he and his party appear to be winning: in the race to snag major cash from the richest families in America.

Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) is known for many things: talking about a “Jewish space laser“; white supremacy; political violence; having a lawyer who was rude to Mother Jones in court; and possessing a seemingly bottomless fealty to former President Donald Trump. She has continued the last of these with a particular tick in the last week: Comparing Trump to Jesus Christ. At a rally in Las Vegas yesterday, Taylor Greene condemned those who are accurately describing Trump as a now-convicted felon, saying: “The Democrats and the fake news media constantly want to talk about, ‘oh, President Trump is a convicted felon.’ Well you want to know something?

The Denver City Council on Monday approved a combined $500,000 in payments to settle two lawsuits that accused police officers and sheriff’s deputies of violent misconduct. The larger of the two settlements — $400,000 — stems from a case filed last spring on behalf of Scott Peters. Denver police officers and paramedics encountered Peters on the afternoon of April 25, 2021, in a parking lot near Empower Field at Mile High.

Talk about an inconvenient truth!

Narcissism is defined by a core inner emptiness around which people build an amoral god complex. Gods don’t accept responsibility for their acts.
