“These unprecedented tactics – which even the former top lawyer of the Department of Homeland Security in the first Trump administration has characterized as embarrassing, lawless and cruel – have now resulted in the fatal shootings of two U.S. citizens,” the Obamas said.
The Obamas accused the Trump administration of “escalating” the tension in Minneapolis by offering the public explanations of the shootings of Pretti and Renee Good “that aren’t informed by any serious investigation – and that appear to be directly contradicted by video evidence.”
I’m sorry Americans but there were many wake up calls before this, Renee Good should have been a fucking wake up call! You need to go to your state capitals or to DC and demand the removal of Donald the Cunt.
What America needs is the ability to do presidential recalls and no confidence votes like the Europeans.
With fascism on the rise we all need to be a little more ‘French’ with our public officials. Those MFers still had the Guillotine until 1981
Just for a frame of reference for my European friends, the Whitehouse is a 42 hour drive through 11 states for me right now. Each one of those 11 states is politically unique. Organizing this country is not nearly as simple as everyone else on the planet seems to think. Furthermore, preventing us from organizing is one third of the planets billionaires, who’s interests lie definitively in our being fragmented, over worked, and exploitable.
Yeah, everyone seems to think it’s the 1800’s still.
What would be the difference? Much easier travel to your state representative? Easier to find them? Easier to set up a chat group and organise your friends and family?
And what will that do exactly?
You want someone to slow walk protesting your government??? No wonder you’re inviting a dictatorship.
Naaah… I’d rather just have clueless people who don’t live here make failed attempts at armchair-quarterbacking the entire thing.
You know, since it’s so cut-and-dry.
I’ve petitioned my government many times, I’m doing so again in a couple of weeks face to face with my representative.
For the ‘home of the brave and the land of the free’ your really are sounding like an easily controlled pussy.
It’s fucking hilarious you think these people can be reasoned with. Makes me wonder if you think the Jews should have tried to have a sit-down face-to-face with Hitler to see if he would just…… you know, stop.
You have senators and congressmen, you have mayors and district politicians, you have state capitals.
You go the the first in the chain, their homes and offices with enough people they cannot say no, and you take them with you to the next in the chain with more people.
It’s like you don’t realise what is happening, that you are about to become prisoners at the whims of a string of dictators. To me that would be worth a 42 hour drive and some car camping, but at the very least a ring around and a visit to my district politicians with some friends.
None of them care, they are in those positions to feed the current system, a system they benefit too much from.
They’ll care if they have a thousand of their constituents chanting at them day and night how much they suck and how you want them out.
That looks SO good in writing.
We’re still writing books about the alternative option after ~85 years.
You honestly think gong to the houses of politicians is going to stop trump? He OWNS them. They are his possessions.
You don’t appeal to satan by addressing his demons.
When you outnumber their demons 1 million to 1 you’d be surprised what you can do.
lol…. Their demons can turn you into pink mist from space without losing a man. Not only that, if it came to a ground war- they’d destroy us.
What do you think the military trains for exactly? Swimming? LMAO!
