During the Honeywell weapons demos in the 1980s in Minneapolis, where we lived, the women's affinity group was cruelly treated by arresting police. I took photos of it until I was arrested and removed.
They complained to the police chief, Tony Bouza, who they said told them, 'You should have all been gassed at 6 a.m.!'
I called Jim Klobuchar -- Amy's dad -- who was a prominent and popular columnist at the time. He was angry with me. "I don't believe it! Tony Bouza is a personal friend of mine!"
I sighed and said, 'Yeah, that's what my mother said too.'
Then he softened and said he would talk to the chief about it.
Reason # infinity why Canada is different from the United States: We never surrendered control of our incarceration system to private interests. Thus, we know exactly who to blame if a jailbreak occurs...
Just me being paranoid but, can these “centrists” actually be plants FOR the greater evil? I’ve often wondered if this is the rights’ way of getting their people elected by passing for the good guy! Isn’t that what Fetterman did?
no; the right hates them. they’re not plants any more than Chamberlain was. people sincerely think that the best way to deal with fascism is to give up.
I'm a Liberal or Lefty as my daughter calls it, however I (and my colleagues) are trying to figure out how to win over more people in our community (predominantly Republican). What I've been trying to do is find out what we do agree on and go from there. I've been to many protests and rallies and yes I'm active in my community. While I understand the aversion to Moderates and Centrists, I also believe there's got to be a point where we all start talking again.
Really not looking forward to how klobuchar is going to handle things here in MN given that she's already giving off centrist quisling vibes.😣

Chip off the old block?

Really nice parsing, with spot-on examples.
Thanks!
