B-Man Posted May 31, 2020 Author Posted May 31, 2020 MINNEAPOLIS GOES BAGDHAD: The Minnesota state authorities held a press conference at 10:00 yesterday morning. Governor Walz led the parade with a classic yammer yammer yammer blah blah blah performance. I have embedded the video below. He is — they are — over their head, out of their depth, out of it, clueless. You have to see it to believe it. Long-time race hustler Attorney General Keith Ellison is worse than out of it. He is on the other side. Well, yes: Ellison to Minnesota Protesters: Be Kinder to National Guard Than to Police. Yes, THAT Keith Ellison. Minnesota attorney general Keith Ellison (D.) told Minneapolis residents protesting the death of George Floyd to direct their ire at local police, rather than the National Guard that has been called into the city to help restore order. Ellison’s remarks come as Minneapolis has been beset by protests and riots after Floyd died in police custody on Monday. Video taken shortly before his death shows a police officer pinning the unarmed man’s neck down with his knee for several minutes. Angry demonstrators set fires across the city, including to a police precinct. “I’d like everyone to recognize the fact that the National Guard just a week ago was administering COVID-19 tests to help people,” Ellison said. “The presence you see on the street, don’t react to them the way you might react to the Minneapolis Police Department. It’s not the same group. They have different leadership, different authority, and their job is to try to bring peace and calm back again. Please remember that this is not the group that you associate with unfair conduct.” Ellison’s advice to his fellow leftists went unheeded, however: Riot Police, National Guard ‘Completely Abandon’ Perimeter in Minneapolis, Chased Away by Protesters. Earlier today, a new meme went out, as assembled in this thread of tweets from Joy Reid of MSNBC: Remarkable info coming out of this presser: Gov. Tim Walls, Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey and St. Paul Mayor Melvin Carter and now MN attorney general Keith Ellison ALL alleging outside forces, domestic and possibly foreign, have post-Tuesday infiltrated the state, and are in organized fashion setting fire to historic businesses in communities of color, and causing mayhem. Ellison cited the widely circulating video of a white man in a gas mask holding an umbrella who was caught by protestors on video breaking windows. Former New Orleans Mayor Marc Morial told CNN’s Wolf Blitzer to explore whether “white supremacists” or “Russians” were involved. As a Red State contributor writes, “Wolf Blitzer, who is interviewing, offers zero push back or redirect after the ludicrous suggestion that it’s the ‘Russians’ fomenting these riots. You know what none of these clips show? Any condemnation of Antifa, who are not even hiding the fact that they are organizing these riots across the country. No, instead we’ve got to gaslight the country and blame nebulous white supremacists and the evil Russians. It’s all so stupid.” Saagar Enjeti of the Hudson Institute sums it up: “Timeline of events so far: Democrats cheered on riots and looting until they realized how bad those things actually are and now they are desperate to blame phantom Russians and White Nationalists so they don’t have to own the responsibility for the chaos they allowed.” 1 3

dubs Posted May 31, 2020 Posted May 31, 2020 6 minutes ago, Deranged Rhino said: That's why worrying about red or blue is nonsense on these issues. Both sides have exploited the issue together to strengthen their own hold on power. It's not about GOP or DNC, or conservative or liberal. It's not even really about race. It's about controlling us through fear and deception. Keep us angry at one another, fighting one another, targeting one another, blaming one another for the problems caused by them. Not us. That's how they've been winning for 60+ years. X1000 when this first occurred, the country was 100% in agreement about what should be done. United that Chauvin should be arrested and prosecuted to the fullest extent possible. now, we’re back to being divided because of the riots. Coincidence? I think not. 4 2

To put it in perspective -- they could, with this designation, not only send a team of hard men to render GS and others (assuming they have the receipts, which they likely do), but they could even drone him and it'd all be legal within the rules of engagement post 2003 (and codified further by 44 when he was droning US citizens without due process). So far -- the media is missing that bit in their rush to dunk on him (and defend Antifa) Antifa themselves declared themselves to be an international org. So Yashar is wrong.

B-Man Posted May 31, 2020 Author Posted May 31, 2020 DOG WHISTLES THAT DIDN’T BARK: ● Biden fails to condemn rioting in remarks on Minneapolis. ● Missed it by This Much: Obama’s statement on death of George Floyd leaves out something pretty freakin’ important. ● Minneapolis mayor urges protesters to wear masks and practice social distancing. ● Trevor Noah Defends Looting: ‘Police in America Are Looting Black Bodies.’ In sharp contrast: Atlanta Mayor Keisha Lance Bottoms pleads for peace amid fiery George Floyd protests. “‘This is not a protest. This is not in the spirit of Martin Luther King Jr. This is chaos,’ she said. ‘If you care about this city, then go home,’ adding that “the violent demonstrations in Atlanta are ‘disgracing the life of George Floyd.’” 1 1

Motorin' Posted May 31, 2020 Posted May 31, 2020 2 minutes ago, Joe in Winslow said: The welfare state itself is racist. Not just the rules. The welfare state destroyed black families, period. The rules were setup requiring people receiving assistance to maintain poverty in order to keep receiving housing, food and health insurance. It didn't have to be that way, the rules could have helped people get ahead. And there were several government subsidized programs that helped several generations of Americans do just that. After WWII the government subsidized and insured low interest mortgages for tens of million of American families who were able to own a home, build equity and pass it on to their children. Tens of billions of dollars of wealth were created through home ownership for working class white America. This program was denied to working and middle class black people for 50 years following WWII. Instead they were redlined into housing projects.

Eric Holder, known as Obama's "wingman" did too. Obama had many instances where he encouraged division. Think "beer summit" and "Trayvon Martin could be my son" nonsense. Same can be said about Trump. His rhetoric has always been divisive. 1

Doing it now forces the DNC to own their shock troops (they won't give them up), and it paints a clear picture of an enemy in the minds of Americans watching their cities burn. Plus, it ties an anchor around the Biden campaign's neck who are donating to Antifa as we speak and bragging about it. It's checkmate across the board. Which means there will be a massive overreaction by the media and the agitators. Making the next 72 hours very dangerous for all. Stay safe. 1 1 3
