Trump’s officials are quietly concerned about his “blatant criminal behavior.” What took them so long?
It is time to stop examining the chaos and time to do something about it.
I have a source inside the Trump regime who feels, in their own words, “a little disillusioned.” This person says they signed on to the Trump team because of “DEI going too far” and because “woke culture was dividing the country,” but is now concerned about the “blatant criminal behavior” of Donald Trump. Really? His last administration didn’t show you that? Well, OK.
This source first approached me by saying, “I can provide you bonafides to show you I’m serious.” That impressed me because I didn’t think many people inside the Trump regime knew what bonafides were, let alone how to be serious.
This source’s concerns about Trump are indeed legitimate, and deserve to be heard. “Not all of us are buying everything he says,” this person told me. “We understand the problem, but we see no solution. You guys in the press, with very few exceptions, are not trustworthy. Congress can’t be trusted and the judiciary so far hasn’t been able to stop him.”
and which side is protesting against the police use of force and wants change?
you say that the “woke” crowd want DEI enforced by a police baton, and then move the goalposts to that if we make the rules we won’t have any control over the use of force to enforce them, while it’s a subset of that exact crowd that are chanting “defund the police” while the anti-woke are “thin blue line”
the woke crowd want to be able to live life like anyone else, and doesn’t want anyone to face police violence… it’s the anti-woke crowd that want more police violence and more reason to use that violence on everyday people who don’t fit the mould
Every law is enforced through death at some point. When you write a law, you are saying it’s okay if police enforce it to the death. If you are okay with having police at all, you are okay with state violence.
what a fucking dumb take… in most countries that aren’t the US, there is no death penalty for any crime
we punish people in many ways, and most of them are non-violent and violence via incarceration is only used as a last resort
Broadly gestures
Seems your moral constraints are your own. The cops in my home town has a nickname for me and my friends. It’s rare that I bump into cops who violate your rights then play cleanup. This notion of civility you hold dear doesn’t exist. They are all the same pigs who would shoot a seven year “who pointed a gun at them” or kill a man for selling cigarettes, and we all the same primates brutalizing each other that gave Jane Goodall PTSD. And yes, moralizing human behavior through law enforcement is calling for some to face the death penalty. The answer is, and always has been self-defense and a connected community.
that is an entirely separate problem… congrats on moving the goalposts yet again… we shouldn’t try and protect people from discrimination with laws because… cops use violence against minorities? is that seriously your argument?
Laws don’t protect is the point.
