@DesignationSix All it takes to acquit in SERIOUS crimes with serious penalties is just one juror with “reasonable doubt” (as practical amount “any doubt” since “reasonable” is undefined) as per Supreme Court 2020. Good news is unlike OJ trial where everybody saw EXACTLY THE SAME EVIDENCE but...
@DesignationSix ... opinions as to OJ’s quilt between Blacks and whites nationwide were astoundingly different ( probably because Blacks and whites nationwide have astoundingly different life experiences which influenced their opinions ). Maybe I’m naive but despite the fact jury trials ...
@DesignationSix ... determined by men and woman peers (not God never perfect) prejudices while out in the open and raw are better perceived if not better understood and factored in as they should be in what we call justice. Convicted or acquitted Chauvin is poster child for why we need better...

Checking out at grocery store with eggs and margarine to make cookies clerk holds up margarine and says, “What do you think about THIS!”

I’m thinking “margarine?” but I say nothing.

She helps me out saying, “THEY took the Indian off!”

Still processing ( long day tired ...
... pulled up to a stop sign not a stop light on way there and waited for it to turn green ) she asks, “WHY?”

At this point I’m pretty sure question while important to her is mostly rhetorical.

But clerk presses on “THEY took ___ images of ___ and ___ off ___ and ___).”
My silence is golden but still leaves an opening for another question, “WHAT KIND OF PEOPLE WOULD DO THAT?”

So I think to myself people sensitive to feelings of Native American Indians still upset about being stereotyped, having their lands stolen, bounties put on them like ...

@johnlundin Reportedly McConnell bragged he told Obama to his face he’d never get a SC nominee & followed through refusing to bring Obama ‘s SC nominee Garland up even for discussion as required by Constitution Senate duty to advise & consent (or not). Filibuster NOT even in Constitution.
@johnlundin McConnell saying he will obstruct is entirely disingenuous because that’s all he’s done holding 100s of dem bills on his desk not bringing up even for discussion relishing “grim reaper” nickname quite literal with bipartisan Covid relief on his desk bill May to Dec 2020 ...
@johnlundin ... while almost 60,000 a day were forced into poverty and lines at food banks stretched to miles. How many lives could have been saved if McConnell had brought up universal background checks approved of by 90% of Americans including a majority of republicans. McConnell ...

Manchin focused on his personal opinion about importance of 2A minority rights not held by majority of Americans & minority rights of smaller population states many GOP & rights of minorities in his state who hold views like his 2A views contrary to majority in his state let...
...alone majority of Americans’ views in every state contrary to his own like approval of universal background checks & red flag laws has a right to go “scorched earth” along with McConnell & GOP to protect his minority views but is he willing to kill voting rights to protect 2A?
Kill voting rights (let GOP kill them with 253 bills and counting bills in individual states) just to protect a 2A“slippery slope” that does not exist. Background checks are not guns any more than large capacity magazines are guns. 50 or 100 round clips convenient for those ...

@Bodhi66 @BerniceKing @soccermom1517 Respectfully, “in God we trust” did not appear on U.S. paper money until 1957 when Eisenhower signed it into law. It was NOT part of Constitution or “centuries,” of American life afterwards. I don’t know why he did it or if he would regret it now. Eisenhower in memoirs did ...
@Bodhi66 @BerniceKing @soccermom1517 ... regret making a campaign stop for commie fear mongering Joseph McCarthy who ruined many people’s lives. Eisenhower knew McCarthy’s fear mongering was wrong but upon the advice of political advisors played along to get along just to get a few votes - something as I said he ...
@Bodhi66 @BerniceKing @soccermom1517 ... regretted. I wonder what Eisenhower would think of Trump - someone if has regrets afraid voice them. I don’t know but I absolutely know what Lincoln would think of Trump because he made it very clear rejecting offer of Trump like “American” party “on principle” because...
