The only police reform the left wants now is the abolishment of police.

No. They want police .. their own thugs - criminal marxists as police.

Back in 2008 0bama told us what the marxists wanted. Brown Shirts and Stazi.

speaking of things they admitted. Why is it so hard for people to believe that the Democrats purposely caused the recession in order to hurt Trump for the election? In 2016 they literally admitted that was their plan. They were very open about it..

does nobody remember when Bill Maher literally said that the Democrats plan was to cause a recession and blame Trump for it??

we could have a real media. If most of the GOP wasn't controlled by libertarian special interests..

all it would take to have an honest media is for the GOP to grow some balls and pass some regulations forcing the media to tell the truth. we tried letting them say whatever they wanted. That didn't work. which means it's time for something elsee.

such as having the FCC and FTC step in and issue fines when they're deliberately lying for one political party over another..

and we could have that. accept that the GOP was always controlled by libertarian special interests who put corporations above Americans..

and CNN is a corporation. which means they put CNN's interest above your interestss..

FEC could probably hit them as well. How much tech/msm fuckery could be considered in kind contributions? How many emails detailing coordination are there? We have the laws we just need the will to enforce them.

alternatively returning media ownership rules to pre-2k ,and abolish 6 ppl hold all media (this is what really fuked it up, evidenced by turning various MSM channels simultaneously on and listen chorus tell same news on same words simultaneously)

Here's a shorter way to put it, if you regulate news companies so they are required to tell the 'truth', who decides what is true? Plus, who has the money to pay the fines, and who doesn't?

It could, also, be attributed to media monopolies that need to be broken up, and allow competition. Huge monopolies are no different than big government. There are, also, Libertarian solutions that actually work and can't be turned against the people enacting them. We've tried fighting control with control for years. It doesn't work. Break up the massive companies that are pushing these MSM networks, break their affiliation and government support, let them just be stand alone businesses competing with other news businesses. The problem will clear up.

If the Dems win in November, America would disappear overnight. This is why the Trump victory is so crucial, just go back to the Obama days, did America feel like America? Bush was a son of a bitch and a war criminal, but at least under him America felt like America, Clinton was a son of a bitch and a rapist, but (and disprove me if I'm wrong, I was born in 1997) from what I've seen, America felt like America. When Obama became president, they had one goal, shift America into a communist country to the point that the land I lived through as a child is unrecognizable. I witnessed it in real time and witnessed the shift happen. Trump on the other hand said 'fuck this' and made America feel like America again. I remember waking up the morning after the election 1.) Hungover as fuck on the floor in my frat house hallway because of the party the night before, and 2.) with a sense of optimism I had not felt since I was 10 years old.

That's the biggest thing about the "abolish the police" movement. If they were also calling for the complete and utter abolition of gun laws as well as mandatory stand your ground laws then maybe I'd take them a little more seriously, because, while as stupid as abolishing the police is, at least that is a solution that makes sense.

MAGA_MEXICAN_CHILI 6 points ago +6 / -0

The Left wants to monopolize the use of force for themselves. This is all an effort to remove public policing for privatization of the use of force.

Thats why they want to get rid of 2A. When the only people that have guns will be the government and those who are connected to government, we have a problem on our hands.

Mistake. I am with guys like Black Pilled on this. We need someone to man up and explain why statistically there is no systemic racism with regards to police. We can PROVE this - and its trivial.

All this does is weaken the police. Sure I am pissed off at the cops for arresting regular folks for working. But this sounds the wrong message to Antifa.

We have to stop treating blacks like its the end of the world if we make them angry. This might get downvotes but between bending to Fauci and his ilk and bending to actual thugs. This has been a weak year for Trump.

He needs to bring Bannon back. We need guys with fight - not Jared Kushner..

Said the same thing 12 hours earlier and was downvoted into oblivion. Sometimes even pedes voluntarily let the wool be pulled over their eyes. Trump shouldn’t placate, kowtow or lift one pen to sign shit to appease these fucks and that’s what it is, appeasement. You give them an inch, they want 20 miles. Give them 20 miles, they’ll want it all. Pandering for black votes is ridiculous. They aren’t going to vote for Trump even if he gave them their precious reparations. Tell them to eat a bag of shit, kickstart the rallies, get the base fired up again and take this thing home. The silent majority has been effectively muzzled.

It's more then a political mistake - its a bad for our country.

The left doesn't believe in incentives - but the right should. If you learn that by throwing a temper tantrum you get what you want.. You will throw more temper tantrums.

BLM is the group that openly chanted about burning police alive - and now they have raised BILLIONS of dollars for their cause. Not one fucking Senate/House guy can come out and say - hey those guys want to burn police alive - maybe we shouldn't give money to them.

The left I get - it's the right that's pissing me off. Can't take a stand against burning people alive?!

Statistics don't convince nor persuade anyone except accountants. People are persuaded by stories and they are persuaded by visual stories most. That's why the Floyd story blew up into the biggest divider in our generation. Because there was 8:46 of visual emotionally painful story that ripped people into pieces and they felt they either needed revenge or they needed forgiveness--anything to find relief after sitting through what appears to be a huge injustice on its surface.

No one said, oh look, stats on police shootings say everything is fine. That won't even register because of the apparently obvious story of racism they saw with their own eyes.

NotRealDemSocialism 8 points ago +8 / -0

We don't bow to the lowest common denominator. If you can't understand basic stats then get fucking locked up when you riot over nothing. Good fucking riddance.

It's time to stop coddling the weak, the dumb, the lazy. Life needs to have consequences again. Don't abolish the police, abolish the safety nets and welfare. Let the productive attend solely to the advancement of society, and stop wasting their efforts lifting up those who can't even support themselves. Allow the dregs die off as they screen impotently into the night, we gain nothing trying to save then from themselves.

Where we are now is a result of creating a consequence free society where those incompatible with a peaceful advanced society are allowed to proliferate.

Yes this is probably the worst move he could have made honestly.

  • It's not gaining him the votes of the people he's appeasing.
  • It's teaching blacks and Antifa that all they need to do to get whatever the fuck they want is burn, loot and murder

He doesn't mention systemic racism or similar terms in this EO (I could be wrong and I'll read it again) and anything leashing the power of the states enforcement am (within reason) is okay by me. The police have a problem with abusing their power, and its largely the union.

you think the average Democrat voter isn't in on it? you think they don't know that they're full of shit? They know that they're full of shit. They also know that they have to say and lie about a lot of things in order to get what they wantt

"i domt like the way the entire system is set up! do im gonna take a handful of people and start a NEW multi billion dollar system! and me and my friends are gonna put the old one out of business because a few hundred of us is more than enough to financially ruin Everything that already exists!"

why dont you just redraw the borders of the usa while youre at it?

and rewrite the Constitution and replace every member of govt?

sometimes I wonder if the far-right free-market worshippers even live in anything resembling reality? you think that you're just going to replace every single company in the world with a "conservative version"

and that somehow you and a few hundred other radical extremists are going to be enough to completely bankrupt every single multinational billion dollar company LOL. yeah I'm sure you and your close friends are more than enough to completely replace Facebook and I'm sure all 1.5 billion Facebook users are going to go to your right wing Facebook just because it exists. you know they're all fed up with the left-wing stuff. since every single person in the world is a hardcore Trump supporter. I mean they must be! every one of your close friends is a hardcore Trump supporter so clearly every single person in the world must be!

you live in an alternate reality with alternate facts. you don't understand how the real world works because you don't live in the real world. you live in this carefully curated bubble you made for yourself only surrounded by people who agree with you..

you also don't understand how the economy works. like a petulant child do you want to make an entirely new economy just for conservatives and you think that somehow the solution..

and we know you didn't come up with it. That idea was put in your head by corporatist Libertarians who worship the free market and the almighty dollar. Libertarians who don't have a problem with Facebook anyway because Facebook is a corporation and Libertarians are the puppets of corporations..

replace the whole internet LOL. what a ridiculous thing to say

only an idiot would think that would work. but I don't think you actually want to sell the problem. I think you just want a small platform to circle jerk with a small handful of people who agree with you. you don't really care what the rest of the world is doing you don't really care who's running the country you just want a small website where you can circle jerk and complain with a small handful of people who agree with you..

we need to regulate these companies. you don't want to regulate these companies because you have been train by decades of libertarian propaganda to worship the almighty dollar and put corporations before people. On the hierarchy of things you care about you have been trained to put the interests of corporations above the interests of anybody else..

and so you would never support regulating a corporation because you're trained to shill for corporations

that's why you proposed things that wouldn't work. The goal is to help corporations make money. not help Americans live life..

Libertarians have an entirely different set of goals than the average American. Libertarians goals are to make rich people as comfortable as possible and as rich as possible. They don't care what has to happen to make that occur. Libertarians are the henchmen of rich people.

that's why you hate the government. Because of government is generally controlled and voted for by poor people. since the majority of people in America are poor the government generally gets voted for by mostly poor people. Rich people have very little say overall compared to the votes of poor people. which is why you're very against the government passing laws. Because when the government passes laws that innocence is poor people passing laws. And your ideology is meant to worship the rich. so the last thing you want is a democracy where the country is run by the poor..

that's why you want to take away power from the government. Because the government is the people. And you want to take away power from the people and give it to a bunch of big corporations. you would much rather have the country be run by Goldman Sachs then a democratically elected president..

you would much rather have Facebook censor Free speech then the government protect it..

you've been trained to hate all things government and worship all things corporate..

to be against even good things that the government does and support even bad things that corporations do

and you have been trained that this mythical free-market is the answer. basically if you pray to the almighty dollar it will swoop down and save you loll

even though you have absolutely zero historical examples of the free market replacing corrupt corporations or doing anything good really.

there's multiple examples of the free market creating bad things the free market created censorship the free market created corruption the free market created racism and the free market created fake news. And you're trained to think that the free market is going to fix the problems it created? The free market is a lie. it's a lie told you by corporations who want you to allow them to do whatever they want..

telling you that voting with your dollar is somehow better than voting with your vote LOL

it's because they don't want you to vote on the government they want you to let them do whatever they choose. And what better way to do that than convince you that there's this magical thing that if you just let corporations do whatever they want unrestricted they will decide to do what's best for you..

out of the kindness of their heart or something. it's time to regulate Facebook and it's time to ignore the people that don't want to

those people got us into this mess. those people have destroyed the economy multiple times with their libertarian free-market bullshit..

and they are a group of extremists that don't really exist anywhere except the Internet

Bro, I work in this industry and have for over 20 years. Also it's not a few hundred people with this idea.

Here is the is situation. We have communication and security risks thanks to those very companies selling out to China. They have imported H1B1 visa of people who hate America. They've riddled our digital infrastructure. Obama handed off management of the Internet before leaving. We have platform tribalism and active psy-ops being played out daily. Our history is rewritten daily along with definitions. There is no integrity and we have generations coming up through the digital age.

In addition to the above, we have corporate and foreign money in politics - that's not going away

We don't have term limits - not going away.

We have fake news media - not going away.

We have systematic discrimination in these industries to prevent diverse opinions from helping shape the digital future.

We start a business and they falsely label us as racist and cut off our revenue. As a free enterprise they have the right to destroy US. What alternatives do we have? Very little because the complexity of engines we depend on are all sitting with Silicon Valley.

The design of the current Internet and those components that fuel experience and information and the laws that protect them require politicians that are paid off by the enemy.

Our only hope of saving the future is creating innovative alternatives. It's the American Way!

This happens in every fucking industry so don't give me shit and be condescending towards me. You position my idea as some simpleton use case. It's not and our country could use it's own secondary system. Our country could be devastated if we lost or had disruption with the 1 we have.

yeah a lot of right-wingers tend to focus on words way too much. words that mean whatever you want them to mean. They mean whatever people use them as. once upon a Time the word gaming meant happy. but if you say the word gay you're probably not talking about happy..

words mean whatever they mean well how people use them. And their meanings can change over time. you can try to redefine liberal to claim that conservatives are liberals but that's stupid and nobody's buying it. The people that call themselves Liberals are the fascist left-wingers. That's what liberal is. stop trying to redefine terms to fit whatever you want things to meann

Sususu 1 point ago +3 / -2

No, just because a leftist calls himself a liberal, doesn't magically make it so.

Here are the principles of classical liberalism that Ashford identifies:

Liberty is the primary political value. “When deciding what to do politically — what should the government do — classical liberals have one clear standard: Does this increase, or does it reduce the freedom of the individual?”

Individualism. “The individual is more important than the collective.”

Skepticism about power. “Government, for example, often claims ‘we’re forcing you to do X because it’s in your own interests to do so.’ Whereas very often, when people with power do that, it’s really because it’s good for themselves. Classical liberals believe that the individual is the best judge of their own interests.”

Rule of law.

Civil society. Classical liberals believe that problems can be dealt with best by voluntary associations and action.

Spontaneous order. “Many people seem to assume that order requires some institution, some body, to manipulate and organize things. Classical liberals don’t believe that. They believe that order can arise spontaneously. People through their voluntary interaction create the rules by which people can live by.”

Free markets. “Economic exchange should be left to voluntary activity between individuals. … We need private property to be able to do that. … History show us that leaving things to free markets rather than government planning or organization, increases prosperity, reduces poverty, increases jobs, and provides good that people want to buy.”

Toleration. “Toleration is the belief that one should not interfere with things on which one disapproves. … It’s a question of having certain moral principles (“I think this action is wrong”), but I will not try and force my opinions — for example through government — to stop the things I disapprove of.”

Peace. Through free movement of capital, labor, goods, services, and ideas, we can have a world based on peace rather than conflict and war.

Limited government. “There are very few things the government should do. The goal of government is simply to protect life, liberty, and property. Anything beyond that is not justifiable.”

Yep, Jefferson was a liberal. Joy Behar is a leftist...and an idiot.

No True Scotsman. Group of people claim to be Liberals - they do X Y Z. You claim they are not "real" liberals.

But we are at the point where there is no one that claims to be a liberal in this country that pushes those values. They might say something like "they used to call me a liberal".

My parents are both "liberals" in their mind. In reality they have moved very far left like all "liberals." Again all the people that were liberals have joined the right or a libertarian.

You can point to book definitions - but we all know this is true. Words change meaning and liberal means leftist at this point. It generally is a leftist of the useful idiot variety. Someone who doesn't understand communism - someone that doesn't understand the issues with the welfare state. Someone who doesn't understand the Constitution.

yeah a lot of right-wingers tend to focus on words way too much. words that mean whatever you want them to mean. They mean whatever people use them as. once upon a Time the word gaming meant happy. but if you say the word gay you're probably not talking about happy..

words mean whatever they mean well how people use them. And their meanings can change over time. you can try to redefine liberal to claim that conservatives are liberals but that's stupid and nobody's buying it. The people that call themselves Liberals are the fascist left-wingers. That's what liberal is. stop trying to redefine terms to fit whatever you want things to meann

The progressive left has tarnished the "liberal" moniker to the point that its poison to associate with it. Prefixing it with "classical" doesn't help.

re-defining words is their speciality.

And the individualism of libertarians is what makes arguments about sexual identity so ridiculous philosophically for libertarians to try to oppose. Best example of this is Jordan Peterson. He says he won't follow the law about transgender pronouns because it violates free speech, but then says he'll use the pronouns in a personal situation if the person asks politely. That's absolute nonsense. That's the conundrum of classical liberalism. It's still relativistic. It just asserts the One over the Many. It's still an ideology. Christianity resolves the conflict of the one and the many into a harmonious relationship. But secular Deism, which became secular atheism, which infuses classical liberalism, is the most prominent worldview in America now.

I read the order. I like the order. I think it's really pushing to address problems that exist in police departments, and prevent bad apples from jumping from one position to another instead of leaving law enforcement entirely.

Could more be done? Sure. But I haven't seen one single Democrat offering specific solutions.

Only non blacks that succeed are to be further disenfranchised.

So every black is to be further elevated (including already hyper successful Nigerians and akin).

Horkers4Trump 5 points ago +5 / -0

There's really not a whole lot the president can do to dictate how municipal-level policing is done.

I think the database is a good idea. If someone is a bad cop, it should be easy for other departments to see that they were fired for being a bad cop. At least then anyone who then hires the bad cop will know exactly what they're signing up for.

The White House release is a lot of words that say nothing but it's still nice to see a somewhat measured response.

If these asshats had been participating in local elections and contacting their representatives ahead of...oh...I dunno...the pandemic they’d be able to address these issues the right way. The executive doesn’t run the show on local policing. I don’t think we want the executive to, either.

This EO isn't for the left. This EO is for the normies who are scared and confused.

Daddy took action and that should be a good start to start soothing worries.

I'm not sure where I stand on chokeholds; I know from experience how dangerous and even deadly they can be. But I also know how effective they are. I guess the fact that officers can still use them in life-threatening situations doesn't affect them THAT much, since situations that require that kind of hold would automatically be life-threatening?

He circumvented the need for a national police force. All this is put back on local PDs and independent organizations. I believe that there are monetary incentives for good officers as well, not sure where I saw that though. The discussion of nationalizing or privatizing police is over, at least for now.

Teddy Roosevelt was right to break up corporate monopolies. These aren't purely private businesses. They get a charter from the government that protects against liabilities. If you own a house or sole proprietorship you can be sued for every last dime but these corporations get immunity while skirting our taxes.
