Exhibit A. The LASD has literally gangs, and this week LASD deputies packed the civilian oversight meeting the very day the oversight committee was theoretically making a plan for a plan to name the LSAD gangs. Just name them!

Palestinian freedom and Jewish safety are NOT opposing causes. And If your activism requires excusing hatred toward either group, you’ve lost the plot. “Same Love”?
I think what I’ve expressed is reasonable, but I know many will still have issues with it.

Mitch must be remembered as the Senate Majority Leader who robbed President Obama of his constitutional right/duty to appoint a justice to the U.S. Supreme Court.
This guy refused to hold confirmation hearings for Obama’s uncontroversial nominee Merrick Garland—held the vacant seat open for a year.

Used to be, you’d post about someone you think should be president (e.g., Obama) and REPUBLICAN trolls would appear.
Now, pick ANY potential Dem candidate and non-GOP, otherwise Dem voters will announce whatever issue they think the candidate lacks, as the reason for squandering their non-GOP vote.

White America’s refusal to elect Sec. of State Hillary Diane Rodham Clinton the nation’s 1st woman commander in chief must be memorialized as one of the nation’s greatest electoral failures.
Imagine how different our nation would be—how much objectively better it’d be—if Sec.Clinton had won in 2016.
