I get your point 100%. But there was thousands of incidents of racist police actions yesterday showing exactly how the problem is still alive an unchecked in 2020.
You don't need an old picture to tell anyone that the police in America is riddled to the core with white supremacist wankers.
I guarantee that the trump extreme knobheads will dismiss it with "2018, fake news. Old picture". That's why I think its what I would call a 'taking people away from the proper argument tweet'.
Agree with the tweets sentiment absolutely. Just don't quite agree with the way the message is being put across.
The difference is they’re POSING WHILE FLASHING A WHITE POWER SIGN, NOT on the frontlines of a crowd disturbance, where they may LEGALLY JUSTIFY their actions. The legal system gives police a very wide latitude in dealing with open air disturbances that threaten life and property.
The symbol is an ACTION being proudly displayed, under no distress, but out of choice. THAT is the difference.
Meanwhile, the White House goes dark for the first time in living memory, as Trump hides in the Underground Presidential Bunker because AMERICAN CITIZENS are outside the WH demonstrating against him.
And, the 5 time draft dodging President Bone Spurs has the nerve to call Governors not cracking skulls on the streets as “weak.”
A man who couldn’t keep it in his pants, and paid hundreds of thousands of dollars for sex with ex-strippers and porn stars, even though he was married to a naked Euro model says others are weak?
A man who needs an entire can of hairspray to hold together what little hair he can sweep onto the top of his head out of septuagenarian vanity calls other weak.
A man who has to push other world leaders out of the way at an international conference, just so he can be in front of the cameras has the gall to call others weak.
Trump is the very definition of weakness, because he has repeatedly shown it, by word and by deed, as he seeks to cozy up to global dictators and strongmen, giving them the reflected power and (fading) respect of the Office of the President of the United States.
He is a vain, weak, corrupt, anti-Constitutionalist seeking to turn the Democratic Republic of America into one of the newest global autocracies he admires. For those who disagree, listen to his words and the extrapolations of power he CONSTANTLY states he can enact. “Open the country”? Demanding States do what he says or he will withdraw federal funding?
He is a crass thug who has never been told “No,” by anyone, because in NY (and esp in real estate) money talks and he was always able to borrow enough to make him look wealthy...even when it was borrowed from a corrupt German bank and Russians with influence.
Well, newsflash... AMERICA IS SAYING “NO!” and Trump is trying to pull every lever of power available to him to stop people, especially people of color and those in blue states, from be able to VOTE HIM OUT OF OFFICE. Indeed, just in case he does lose, esp in a landslide, he already has his ducks in a row as to voter mail fraud, social media bias, mainstream media bias, and may even go down the Russian conspiracy route that THIS TIME they got what they wanted!
Hate is a strong term. I am learning to hate Donald Trump a little bit more with every passing day and every action/inaction.
He should be in jail already, but is shielded for it by dint of him being President! Think about THAT for a second! His lawyer went to jail for delivering the payments he made to strippers just before the election, in violation of election law, but because Trump was elected, he gets a pass for actually writing, signing and giving his lawyer the check for the floosie!
Only in Amerika!
