While I’m not against any and all socialism, FTMP I agree.

[b]Welcome to the new progressive era.
Among other things, the definition of progress is erasing our national borders, abolishing the police, censoring the internet, dismantling the gender binary, teaching White children to hate themselves and their country in public schools and redefining equal justice as social justice. The way this works is that the media cherry picks which incidents to elevate to national attention to push the anti-police narrative, “journalists” convict police officers of “white supremacy” and systematic racism and the DOSJ follows up by launching investigations and bringing federal charges to punish the evil doers.
NPR:
“The Justice Department has filed federal criminal charges against Derek Chauvin, accusing the former police officer of using excessive force and violating the civil rights of George Floyd. Floyd died after Chauvin pressed on his neck for more than nine minutes on the pavement outside a convenience store last year in Minneapolis.
Three other former officers on the scene that day — Thomas Lane, J. Alexander Kueng and Tou Thao — have been charged federally in connection with Floyd’s death. Two of the men, Kueng and Thao, are accused of failing to intervene to stop Chauvin. All three face a charge of failing to provide medical care with “deliberate indifference” to Floyd’s suffering. They already are preparing for a state trial in August. …”
If Derek Chauvin had been found innocent by a jury, DOSJ’s plan was to arrest him on the spot on the basis of these federal charges, which were announced yesterday
National Review:
“At best, the Justice Department’s indictment of Derek Chauvin and the three other former Minneapolis cops involved in George Floyd’s killing nearly a year ago is overkill. At worst, it is an exercise in political zeal that could undermine the accountability being achieved by state prosecutions. In the meantime, it is abusive — ironically so given that the charges are brought under the guise of upholding civil rights, though it obviously has not dawned on the Civil Rights Division’s social-justice warriors that police have civil rights, too. …
The other three former cops charged by the Justice Department are Chauvin’s partner, Tou Thao, a 35-year-old veteran of the force, and a pair of rookies, Thomas Lane and J. Alexander Kueng, 38 and 27 respectively, who were brand new to the job when they encountered Floyd last Memorial Day. The three are scheduled to be tried jointly in state court, starting August 23, on charges of aiding and abetting second-degree murder and manslaughter. Furthermore, prosecutors are pushing to add a third-degree “depraved indifference” murder charge, just as they controversially did in Chauvin’s case. In less than two weeks (May 20), a state appellate court will hear arguments on whether that should be permitted. …”
Essentially, these Democratic-controlled power centers all act as one cabal now – the corporate media, the Department of Social Justice, the FBI, Big Tech, Big Business and Antifa and Black Lives Matter which are their state sponsored party militias – and they work to inflict “justice” on their enemies. This is why DOSJ looks the other way when Black Lives Matter riots or when mobs intimidate witnesses in their show trials. Those people have permission from their party to break the law.[/b]

[b]Woke progressives are full of demands these days:
In order to fight climate change, they need the power to tackle our meat obsession.
In order to fight gun violence, they need a national red flag law.
In order to fight off “domestic extremists,” they need the National Guard to occupy Washington.
In order to maintain and expand their grip on power, they need federal control of state elections and to pack the Senate with new states and the Supreme Court with new justices.
In order to feel safe after the “trauma” of the Capitol Siege, they need the power to impose a political litmus test on the military and to purge “extremists.”
In order to protect themselves from “trauma” and “misinformation,” they need the power to censor the internet to silence their domestic political opposition.
In order to fight “domestic extremism,” they need to vastly expand the surveillance state to get around the Constitution and a new domestic terrorism law.
In order to brainwash your children into hating themselves for being White, they need the power to push critical race theory in public schools.
In order to get their way in states where progressive activists are a tiny minority, they want to weaponize the power of multinational corporations to veto legislation passed by state legislatures.
In order to demographically replace Republican voters in the Sunbelt, they need open borders and to resettle refugees from war zones
In order to fight systematic racism, the Department of Social Justice is putting the police on trial and investigating local police departments
In order to fight white supremacy, some progressive activists want to dismantle the National Park System and return the National Parks to Native Americans
In order to dominate cable television, they have floated the possibility of having the cable companies deplatform their rivals because going after advertisers hasn’t worked
In order to abolish gender, they need to neuter Mr. Potato Head
In order to cleanse the public square of racism, they need to topple hundreds of public monuments and any monument will do
Is there anything else?
What else do woke progressive activists need from us to bring on their utopia? In addition to the power to determine who can hold a job in this country or fly on a plane or open a bank account or whether the president of the United States can use social media, they also need the power to determine who can be a police officer based on their political affiliations to weed out “extremists.”
New York Times:
“In the battle to stamp out extremism from the ranks of the police, lawmakers from California to Minnesota have proposed solutions they thought were straightforward.
Some laws would empower the police to do more robust background checks of recruits, letting them vet social media to make sure new officers were not members of hate groups. Other laws would make it easier for departments to fire officers with ties to extremists. …
Police officers, like everybody else, enjoy First Amendment rights to free speech and free assembly, so the challenge for lawmakers is figuring out how to preserve those rights while barring extremists from infiltrating the ranks.
California is one of four states, including Oregon, Minnesota and Tennessee, along with Washington, D.C., that have proposed new laws to give law enforcement agencies more power to exclude officers with ties to extremism. …
There is little hard data on the number of American police officers with explicit ties to extremism, although senior officials have repeatedly characterized domestic extremism as an accelerating threat. “We have a growing fear of domestic violent extremism and domestic terrorism,” Merrick Garland, the attorney general, said during a hearing on Capitol Hill last week. …
For Ms. Bynum, getting a statement of principle against extremism set into law would be an important first step. “Essentially, you have to move the ball,” she said. …”
Unfortunately, there is a “thicket of obstacles” standing in the way of this.
The First Amendment protects the rights of everyone to free speech and free assembly. The Second Amendment protects the right to own firearms. The Fourth Amendment protects people against unreasonable search and seizures. The Tenth Amendment protects the reserved rights of the states.[/b]

[b]What is going on with the libs?
Can someone do a welfare check? I’m concerned.
They love George W. Bush, Dick Cheney and Liz Cheney now. They love John McCain and Mitt Romney now. They love neocons like Bill Kristol now. They love the Republican establishment and Wall Street and the U.S. Chamber of Commerce now. They love rich people and corporations now.
Nicolle Wallace has her own MSNBC show. The libs love the FBI now. They love the War on Terror so much now that they want to bring it home. They love censorship and the government invading your privacy and trampling on civil liberties now. They hate free speech, due process and non-violence now. They’re saying that they hate tolerance and colorblindness and love racial discrimination now. They hate science now and believe that men can become women on a whim or that it makes sense to wear a mask outdoors in high temperatures after being vaccinated. They hate Richard Dawkins and J.K. Rowling now. They hate Thomas Jefferson and Andrew Jackson who were the founders of the Democratic Party now. In the Land of Lincoln, the libs are saying that they also hate Abraham Lincoln now who freed the slaves. The transformation has been so swift in recent years that libs say they don’t even believe in equality now.
What happened to Stephen Colbert? He used to be funny like 15 years ago. Now he only has progressive dad jokes about “hate speech” and the government using facial recognition software to hunt down people who were inside the Capitol on January 6th. The libs love snitches, tattletales and hall monitors now. The libs love it and stand up and applaud when powerful institutions bully powerless people now. The libs never let the truth or the facts get in the way of pushing a good woke narrative now.[/b]
