BREAKING: Capitol Police Officer Brian Sicknick died the day AFTER Jan. 6th of natural causes due to TWO strokes. The medical examiner also says that he had no internal or external injuries. The entire media narrative about Trump voters killing an officer on Jan 6th was a lie!

Jury was sent out to begin deliberations in the George Floyd murder case after closing arguments. In subsequent discussions with the Judge, defense called out the prosecution for calling the arguments by the defense as “stories” and made-up facts. Defense continued, stated that since the jury had not been sequestered over the weekend, it was likely they heard “a certain Senator” calling for civil disturbance if Chauvin was not convicted of murder. Since the jury may have been tainted, defense is asking for a mistrial.

He blasted Waters and said he understands that she may have given the defense ammo to overturn “this whole trial”. But he didn’t sequester the jurors, he didn’t grant another venue, IMO he is putting the jurors in serious danger. I’m not impressed with this whole narrative of “the judge blasted Waters”.
BFD. If I were a judge, I’d be incandescent that some trash politician tried to interfere with ‘my’ trial and I’d go out of my way to teach some “Fuck with me and find out” lessons.

No mistrial.

@ PaladinPhil:
the murder charges carry intent, the manslaughter charge doesn’t. I see a conflict there.
Altho apparently Judge Jeannine is saying she agrees with the verdict.

@ eaglesoars:
I think the jury was concerned about their own safety and the safety of their families, and I can’t really blame them.
@ Bunk X:
I agree with that statement. Too much anger and violence already over this whole thing.
All three counts is a surprise. I thought that he would be convicted of only one count.

Me neither. Altho not a lot of appeals are successful, I think there’s a reasonable chance for this one.

It looked to me like Chauvin was policing within the bounds set by his trained rules of engagement. The death is a fault of leadership. And constant leadership training. The buck stops on the desk of the mayor.
But the well is also poisoned. I don’t think we can expect police or black criminals to act without bias based on the media narratives being forced into the judicial system. I’d get out of policing. the trouble is the bad cops will stay.
Mark Levin is tearing it apart.

If I think about it I don’t really know what to do.
my guesses
1. How to remove Marxism from your local community?
@ darkwords:
a. Subscribe to the school board and participate?
b. Encourage private schools.
c. Ask to see the local city hr policies on civil rights.
d. See if the scouts have badges on capitalisms.
e. Write one letter a month to a local leader.
f. Advocate textbooks from Texas?
So Biden is going to make a speech tonite. effing moron.

Iâve no doubt that the Ukes will be absolutely smashed by the Russians.
However, Putin had better start writing to the mothers of the Russian tankies in the 210 tanks that will be snotted by Javelins that were delivered in 2018.

@ Aussie Infidel:
Had an email exchange with a Russian reserve officer (LTC) a part of the air defense regiment discussing the T14 about 8 years ago.
We both agreed what was being marketed and what the russian armor divisions will actually get are 2 different things. Corners will be cut and budgets reduced to simply get the tank into the field.

China’s plans for Himalayan super dam stoke fears in India
China is planning a mega dam in Tibet able to produce triple the electricity generated by the Three Gorges — the world’s largest power station — stoking fears among environmentalists and in neighbouring India.
The structure will span the Brahmaputra River before the waterway leaves the Himalayas and flows into India, straddling the world’s longest and deepest canyon at an altitude of more than 1,500 metres (4,900 feet).
The project in Tibet’s Medog County is expected to dwarf the record-breaking Three Gorges Dam on the Yangtze River in central China, and is billed as able to produce 300 billion kilowatts of electricity each year.
It is mentioned in China’s strategic 14th Five-Year Plan, unveiled in March at an annual rubber-stamp congress of the country’s top lawmakers.
But the plan was short on details, a timeframe or budget.
The river, known as the Yarlung Tsangpo in Tibetan, is also home to two other projects far upstream, while six others are in the pipeline or under construction.
The “super-dam” however is in a league of its own.
Last October, the Tibet local government signed a “strategic cooperation agreement” with PowerChina, a public construction company specialising in hydroelectric projects.
A month later the head of PowerChina, Yan Zhiyong, partially unveiled the project to the Communist Youth League, the youth wing of China’s ruling party.
Enthusiastic about “the world’s richest region in terms of hydroelectric resources”, Yan explained that the dam would draw its power from the huge drop of the river at this particular section.

Yeah, this will work
A federal judge overseeing a sprawling lawsuit about homelessness in Los Angeles ordered the city and county on Tuesday to offer some form of shelter to the entire homeless population of skid row by October.
Judge David O. Carter granted a preliminary injunction sought by the plaintiffs in the case last week and now is telling the city and county that they must find single women and unaccompanied children on skid row a place to stay within 90 days, followed by helping families within 120 days and finally, by Oct. 18, offering every homeless person on skid row housing or shelter.
âLos Angeles has lost its parks, beaches, schools, sidewalks, and highway systems due to the inaction of city and county officials who have left our homeless citizens with no other place to turn,â Carter wrote in a 110-page brief laced with quotes from Abraham Lincoln and an extensive history of how skid row was first created.
