I think they'll have to convict him on a lesser charge or declare a mistrial. He was doing exactly as he was trained. If anyone is responsible for Floyd's death (other than himself) it should be the mayor and police chief who instituted and approved of the neck kneeling. It's worth noting that both of them threw Chauvin under the bus within hours after basically no investigations.

If Chauvin gets more than 12.5 years, then we know there is no justice. Mohamed Noor shot and killed Justine Damond and only got 12.5 years. Noor was violating every possible procedure in his shooting and Damond and he was convicted less than a year before the whole Floyd thing happened. Also, she wasn't a multiple time convicted criminal like Floyd, she wasn't caught committing a crime like Floyd, she was much smaller than the officers unlike Floyd, and she wasn't in a state of cognitive impairment unlike Floyd. Considering they both happened in Minneapolis, Chauvin's actions are way less actionable than Noor's. If we believe Chauvin was 100% responsible for Floyd's death, which he's not, he should still only get three or so years when compared with the sentence given to Noor.

I have a friend who works for the oil industry in Mexico. He's been telling me some pretty shocking things lately. The company he works for pays way above average wages for the area and no ones applying for jobs anymore. In the closest major city, people with good stable jobs (by Mexican standards) are walking off or taking vacation to attempt to cross the border.

Apparently it was slowed down by that wave of cold weather earlier in the month. It now accelerated to unseen levels. The locals all believe if they cross illegally soon they can get amnesty. There is no way to prove when someone crossed if they did it illegally. Also, the cartels are making huge profits off the situation.

This was news well over a century ago when the 10th Amendment became the gateway for obliterating intrastate activities, instead of keeping to interstate commerce. It keeps making news, and nothing ever happens.

He didn't defend the peaceful protesters that appeared on his behalf and at his request on January 6. He is now also pushing a dangerous "vaccine" for a common cold which is already obsolete. Despite voting for him in 2016 and 2020, I can't see myself ever supporting him again.

It makes perfect sense. Health industry lobbyists run the government, and they are desperately afraid of two equal and opposite things:

a) The hospitals fill over capacity, and they have to turn away paying customers b) The hospitals aren't full, and they lack paying customers.

Having coronavirus knocking around at a level of 20% to 100% for a full year - I mean, it's like keeping the feedback on a microphone near a speaker making loud weird noises without dying out or blowing the speaker for an entire night. It takes planning. A hooker with that kind of talent would be worth a fortune.

Google is detecting unusual activity

ah, thanks, interesting.

Google ignores10% to 15% of fresh commercial VPN exit IP points, but its annoying, because of the goddamn captcha crap you allude to. I assume they laboriously map out tor to further magnitude, because tor does not dice roll and segment and fracture, something I myself used to do to prevent any party from mapping all possible nodes, or all possible DRM locks tied to hash of originating IP.

I've been using this blog as a chance to test Tor in the real world, and these archive.is links are an example of what DOES NOT WORK. You'll get shafted to a "security check" for any of those, and of course, there is only one way to "check" and only one company that does it, the company that claims ultimate right to track EVERYTHING you do on the web, and even if you were to go through their moronic exercise in misdirection pretending you're proving you're a human as they try to fingerprint your computer, the outcome would probably only be the usual error message that "Google is detecting unusual activity from this address" and that will be all.

Archive.is is not a copyright holder. The whole basis of their claim to hold web sites is that they're "archiving" them. So can somebody inside this tiny remnant real internet have a way to archive-the-archive and make it so people can read the page without kowtowing to the Top Horn of the Beast?

There is a name for this movement - which I do not know. It is not just in Denmark.

It is a global thing at this time.

I found the article funny. That men have been turned into accessories, sperm donors and perma paycheck since they got laid once and bore child.

That description applies to the United States experience since at least the 1960's. 50-60 years into this horrible insanity in the US.

Loopholes like this don't really exist. No, "Woops, you're right. Looks like they forgot to cross their T's and dot their I's... right this way Sir... I mean, Mr. President."

Biden will get 25th'ed, we'll have Kamala until 2024, then we'll see. That's my take.

Amen.

This dude rocks!

It is all about perceived socioeconomic status. But it is as-is about simpletons on about race. Ya'all discriminate, so let's cheat and discriminate to make it fair to those people 'victimized' by such prior.

No. Let's not.

Don't people that get this sh!t and have been hired under flawed affirmative action ever take a sane look in the mirror? Don't they ever realize likely unqualified and have no business being where they are.. that likely in fact performance and relative experiences makes them inferior?

A big dose of humility is needed for race pimps.

Screw the COVID nazis.

Bullshit was tired 10 days into this mass deception theater.

COVID rocks! It has eliminated the flu. It has lowered heart attacks.

It is a miracle wonder cure.. In their pursuit to hype it and control, they've wrecked health data and causes of death. What medicine couldn't cure or change in decades, COVID did in one short year.

They will have some answering to do in the future when the public gets aware and sober.
