[What no one talks about is the blatant fact that Joe Biden is now America’s Manchurian candidate as his platform has migrated from ‘bipartisan civility’ to hard left socialism. That ol’ Bumblebrain is the ‘safe alternative’ to Trump and will bring the country back on even keel is perhaps the biggest lie that the Dems and their lamestream are foisting on Americans. Joe has made a bait and switch pact with the devil, and is now our proto-communist candidate a la Bernie and AOC, having publicly accepted and promised to implement their respective policy prescriptions. And no one knows or even cares about it, as the Hate Trump campaign outshouts all else. (more here) gjr]

If someone argues for just one side of an issue and only opposes the other side, then it is a reasonable assumption that he supports the entirety of his preferred side until evidence to the contrary arrives. PaulE has made that clear in his years of one-sided support in these pages. That cannot be said for those of us who regularly take both sides to task.

Punchy 858am
Floyd was complaining about not being able to breathe in the car… it is a common problem with fentanyl overdoses, and Floyd had taken more than a fatal dose. He was a dead man struggling.
Let’s see, who else does BLM cite? Trayvon Martin, whose death was found by a jury to be justified self defense. And another “gentle giant”, Michael Brown, whose shooting was found to be justified by Obama’s Justice department and his wingman, Eric Holder, and no prosecutor would bring the case. “Hands up, don’t shoot” was a lie, and Brown was shot six times as he advanced on the cop.
BLM wants their predetermined outcome justice.

Punchy, you are showing your absolutely common ignorance by your usual imprecise way.
There was more to understand than what was shown by the first videos: Floyd was in the throes of a fatal fentanyl OD. He had also been resisting attempts to get him into the car.

Paul 9:16 – Yes. First of all, it’s a physical impossibility to utter audible words if in fact you can not breathe. Second – he was complaining he could not breathe before anyone was on top of him and he obviously could breathe.

PaulE 1000am – Paul, the only thing this statement confirms is that you continue to practice an abysmal form of logic. But take comfort in the demonstrable fact that you are joined by millions of like-minded ‘logical thinkers’. Think of it as a form of ‘consensus logic’, similar to the hallowed precincts of ‘consensus science’ that salves the socialist soul. If the correct collective does it, it must be correct.

Paul Emery is of one mind and position. I am much more open-minded and will take the most logical and correct position regardless of the source. But since PE has TDS and before that the “anti-logical” drug called “socialism”, he is unable to ascertain the truth at all times. When he supports BLM and disregards their communist’s manifesto to argue Floyd was just an innocent man then all can see how sad the part of on’s brain has diminished in its purpose.

SO 1010am
Floyd, when he was on his feet, was asked by an officer if he had taken anything and he clearly responded no. A shame, I’m sure between all the cops on the scene before the EMTs arrived there’d have been at least one dose of Naloxone that could have been found.
It takes a rare druggie to know when to trust a cop… one was a friend of mine from college. Ralph self medicated for his schizophrenia with hallucinogens, and once he miscalculated… not the dose he took, but where and when he took it. He was at the big merry-go-round at Griffith Park and the park was about to close. He found a policeman, explained he’d just taken a big dose of LSD and could they take him to a safe place? They were happy to oblige him.

It just twists the poor deluded little minds of the average leftist right off at their necks when their comfortable narrative collides with reality.
“Where is the justice?”
Indeed, Paul – where is the ‘justice’ in any violent encounter?
Where is the justice in the little black girl shot dead in her own home because some gang-bangers want to show some rivals they mean business over a ‘dissing’?
We can play that game forever.
There isn’t any ‘justice’ of the kind you seem to want and there never will be.
What we have is a legal system made up of and run by humans. It’s better than anything ever devised. We have an apparent crime. The accused will stand trial.
Rioting and arson and looting are inexcusable and destructive and criminal. Those acts of violence do nothing to contribute to any sort of ‘justice’ in any way, shape or form.

Daily Quotes
Re: The Left: “The left sees these people, a Biden-Harris ticket, as a Trojan horse. … Hiding inside is an army of socialists led by Elizabeth Warren, Bernie Sanders and the rest and they’re going to come pouring out as soon as he’s through the White House gates and impose a left-wing agenda on the United States.” —Marc Thiessen
Never let a crisis go to waste: “I would describe it as a revolutionary moment when the range of possibilities is much greater than in normal times. What is inconceivable in normal times becomes not only possible but actually happens. People are disoriented and scared.” —George Soros on using the COVID crisis “revolutionary moment” to move the U.S. toward socialism
The BIG Lie: “Three years ago today, white supremacists descended on Charlottesville with torches in hand and hate in their hearts. Our president said they were ‘very fine people.’” —Joe Biden
Belly laugh of the week, Part I: “Harris is a small-c conservative, party-friendly pick — which makes her just right for Biden.” —Washington Post columnist David Byler
Belly laugh of the week, Part II: “Kamala Harris comes from the middle of the road, moderate wing of the Democratic Party.” —ABC News’s George Stephanopoulos
Belly laugh of the week, Part III: “You know, she is not far to the left despite what Republicans are going to try to say.” —Fox News’s Chris Wallace
For the record: “Kamala Harris is one of the most progressive Senators in the US Senate and will be the most progressive Vice President in the history of the United States. … She checks nearly every box on Bernie’s platform: Living Wage, Choice, LGBTQ+ equality, peace, child care, etc. … Our movement is on fire now, tens and tens of millions of us in the streets, at the polling sites, at home, organizing online, young people at the forefront, Black America once again saving us and forcing us to be what we say we are but never were. This is our moment.” —Michael Moore
Braying jenny: “The Russians … have stepped up their efforts to interfere in our elections with, it seems, the blessing of Donald Trump, who said he would accept foreign help in the election, and has refused to call out Russia on any number of things, least of all its involvement in the 2020 election.” —Susan Rice
And last… “Kamala Harris’ ancestor Hamilton Brown owned seven plantations in Jamaica in 1817. He employed more than 200 slaves… Kamala Harris is closer to the lineage of slave planters like Jefferson Davis and John C. Calhoun than she is to the lineage of the 4 million slaves in America on the eve of the Civil War.” —Dinesh D’Souza
