The first rule of persuasion is: Get people's attention. If you don't have it, it doesn't matter what you say. I haven't had any alcohol in almost 3 years. This is my thought process at its peak proficiency.

That is problematic.

Not true. She cares about people. People that have been unfairly marginalized by our sad excuse of a society.

I understand your frightened attempts at denial, but history will record that we lived in a time of a deadly pandemic. The corpses from mass graves will rise up and point an accusing finger at the unbelievers.

She speaks truth to power.

I don't use propane tanks so your property is safe from me.

A magnificent animal.

If life is unfair, it is better to try to make it less unfair than to try to segregate a certain portion of the population. I will stroll down any goddamn street in America that I want to. Try to kick me out, then we will have a problem.

Maybe. This reminds me I need to stock up on ammunition before the Fall. COVID may get ugly.

The sad thing is it's true. (Except for the AOC posters. But I am looking for a specific photo of Alexandria)

Expect backlash. https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/us/seattle-police-department-says-they-ll-fire-most-of-their-non-white-officers-if-the-city-cuts-police-budget/ar-BB16CCZJ?ocid=spartan-ntp-feeds (Full article at above link) The Seattle Police Department said it would have to lay off more than 50-percent of their Black, Indigenous and other non-white officers in response to the Seattle City Council’s proposed budget cuts. Those substantial cuts, which seem likely to pass at present, are themselves in response to “Defund the Police” activism and organizing that quickly became a nationally recognizable aspect of the Black Lives Matter movement following the Minneapolis Police Department’s killing of George Floyd in late May. Decriminalize Seattle and King County Equity Now spearheaded the effort, premised on a four-point plan that would: (1) disassociate 911 dispatchers from the SPD; (2) increase civil society-based solutions to public safety; (3) fund community-led initiatives to “imagine life beyond policing”; and (4) drastically ramp up investments in affordable housing. Decriminalize Seattle’s Jackie Vaughn described “the pathway to defunding the Seattle Police Department and building a world where we trust and believe in community to provide the safety that we need” during a virtual press conference on Thursday. (LMFAO - drvoke) After that event wrapped up, the coalition had amassed pledges from a super-majority of Seattle City Council members in support of a 50-percent police department budget cut. The SPD quickly sprang into damage control mode after those commitments were made. “While no decisions have been made yet, we wanted the community to be aware of the situation,” the SPD said via their official Twitter account on Friday. “Laying off 50% of the department would be catastrophic for public safety in the city of Seattle.” “The Department has made a conscious effort to hire employees, both sworn and civilian, who represent the diversity and values within our community,” the thread continued. “Cuts this deep mean we would lose more than 50% of our (BIPOC) officers. These officers’ life experiences make us a better department and community.” The Communications Organizer, Tyrone Shulaces, who also writes on legal topics for The Appeal, suggested: “If you care about an Inclusive, Diverse police force, figure out a way to fire the old white ones maybe.” Seattle Mayor Jenny Durkan, a Democrat, opposes the effort.

He is going to pay a hefty price for his affiliations.

Even I am against late-term abortion, unless it jeopardizes the woman's life or the fetus is damaged (ex. no brain. The last thing we need is another Republican walking around)

Gated communities. Seems like glorified segregation to me.
