So if I have BLM's logic right, they're okay with non-police citizens being able to stab and shoot each other if you're of a certain race because police stopping them would mean....police brutality and racism?
We can't live in any sort of legitimate society where this is possible. It's really hard to even meet someone halfway if they immediately jump to call racism anytime there's a shooting of an armed individual looking to harm others
I mean, when you have threads of takes like these...
...and these...
....and these, it's increasingly difficult to have a civil, sober discussion about basic facts.

CRAZYTOWN: Joy Reid says you shouldn't believe anything you hear or see from police about the #MakhiaBryant shooting (which would include body camera footage) b/c it could be proven it was all a lie and the office was unjustified.

Besides, Bryant had cute TikTok videos!
NO JOKE...Joy Reid says knife fights happen all the time and people survive!

Reid's guest then condemned the actions of the police officer b/c it was "child here that was involved in an altercation with someone else."

So kids can wield weapons and you should just let them be?
Joy Reid insinuates the Columbus police officers responding to the scene of the #MakhiaBryant shooting had it out for black people because one of them had a Blue Lives Matter mask.

Reid also doubles on how you can't believe what your eyes tell you b/c...police lie all the time?

Video thread: Here's @BrookeBaldwin's sign-off from @CNN after almost 11 years at the helm of the weekday afternoon @CNNNewsroom. It started with a really cool look-back at all the big stories she's covered in her career (1/)
After the end of the recap, @BrookeBaldwin reveals that "my show here on CNN was not originally supposed to be mine" and she was only meant to serve as fill-in host for one week. She then went onto list a number of stories she's covered (many of them framed from the left) (2/)
Talking about Biden's press conference, @BrookeBaldwin says in her closing message to viewers: "When I saw all of those women recently one after another after another, these White House correspondents...standing up...I was on my feet cheering them on." (3/)

All the people on the far, far right upset about this would be saying something very different if Babbitt were an Antifa or BLM rioter. They would be defending the officer for protecting himself and the Speaker if it were Kevin McCarthy.

You know it. I know it. We all know it.
Video of her trying to climb through the window was shown during the impeachment trial. She's in the top right corner. Any leftist (or non-Trump supporter) trying to climb through a window to the Speaker wouldn't be afforded this same defense from some corners of the right. Image
The lack of ideological consistency is off the charts. If this were a BLM person, the people in my replies and also attacking @EWErickson would be going full Back The Blue. You don't break into the Capitol, break glass, and try to climb thru to get to the Speaker w/o consequences

THREAD: Here we go with Don Lemon's chyrons and facial expressions during his new opening rant about gun control.

CNN's day started with the claim that #2A supporters like mass shootings, and it's ending with this rhetorical bile.
I mean, this is such a massive 👖 on 🔥 that it'd require an entire inventory from a jeans factory to account for the pairs that would have to be lit on fire.

The claim that it's easier to get a gun than vote should be an early frontrunner for post-Trump lie of the year
No, Americans are not afraid of democracy, Don.

Americans fear a tyrannical government that hates them and wants to confiscate their legal firearms.

Nice to know those of us (whether it be me, my dad @Ahouck610, colleagues like @NickFondacaro, people like @DLoesch or @TedCruz) who support #2A like mass shootings

CNN's @JohnBerman: Gun rights backers 'choose' mass shootings! "Boulder is working for me" newsbusters.org/blogs/nb/mark-…
This is one of those statements where performance art is dangerous. You tell riled up viewers that the other side *likes* mass shootings and what do you expect to happen? You hear anecdotally about people cutting off friends and family with different views. This stuff is to blame
I like Berman. He's funny and jokey, which is something we need more of in this world. In particular, more CNN colleagues need to ascribe to this.

But regardless, this is a horrible take.

Don Lemon is having a normal one, you guys. Image
Here's more. Absolute insane chyrons.

I know I say it all the time, but I'll say it again -- with people like Don Lemon in such a prominent position, if you're on the right, CNN truly hates you. They hate what you think, how you vote, and how you live your lives. ImageImageImageImage
But Don Lemon is totally a journalist, you guys. Image
