re: Democratic voters walk through the streets chanting "defund the police"

quote:

There are full on socialist Democrats and a borderline corporate wing of the Democratic Party that doesn’t agree with them at all. Surely even you can see that.

It doesn't matter if you agree with them or not, what matters is how close you stand next to them. Duck and run.

This is all the Turnip in chief talked about.

President Joe Biden announced a plan to curb gun crimes and crack down on firearms dealers amid a nationwide spike in violent crime that poses a political challenge for the White House.

The strategy would allow states and municipalities to tap into pandemic relief funds to hire police officers under certain circumstances, Biden said on Wednesday, providing resources to combat an increase in shootings, armed robberies and assaults.

The president also said he’ll pursue other measures -- some through executive action -- such as “zero tolerance” rules for gun dealers, expanding summer employment programs for teenagers and helping people released from prison find jobs.

“We have the opportunity to come together now, as Democrats and Republicans, as fellow Americans, to fulfill the first responsibility of a government in a democracy: to keep each other safe,” Biden said at the White House. “Enough.”

The plan that the president discussed on Wednesday has five pillars.

Stem the flow of firearms, including by enacting a zero-tolerance program for gun dealers who “willfully violate the law” and launching teams to slow the trafficking of guns between cities
Bolster funding for law enforcement, including by directing the Treasury Department to allow communities experiencing a surge in gun violence to use their money from the American Rescue Plan’s $350 billion state and local government funding to hire law enforcement officials or pay overtime for community policing strategies
Launch a task force of 14 cities to support community violence intervention programs, which could also tap into Covid aid funds
Expand summer programs and job availability for teens and young adults
Do more to help people released from prison get jobs

Biden had hoped for a deal on a police reform bill by late May. Senator Tim Scott, the South Carolina Republican who has been heavily involved in the talks, said he thinks it’s “June or bust” to get an agreement.

Psaki said Biden can move to quell crime without roiling the police reform talks. “Communities across the country who advocate and support police reform, they don’t see it as a mutually exclusive issue; neither does the president,” she said.

(Everytown for Gun Safety, which advocates for universal background checks and gun-safety measures, is backed by Michael Bloomberg, founder and majority owner of Bloomberg News parent company Bloomberg LP.) LINK

He doesn’t have handlers

"I'll take your questions. And as usual, folks, they gave me a list of the people I'm going to call on," Biden said to reporters.

So if Biden doesn't have handlers, then who is "they" that gives him his list of who to call on?

quote:

---

1. His handlers don’t, not doesn’t. Maybe you should get basic grammar down before tackling public policy?

2. Handlers? Read a few books. Biden shoots his mouth off and has been a notoriously lacking in discipline candidate ever since he first ran for president in 1988. He doesn’t have handlers. That’s a tired narrative. If he had handlers, maybe he wouldn’t say stupid shite like he did the other day about the infrastructure bill.

3. He doesn’t support defunding the police. Again, there was $350 billion for law-enforcement in a bill that passed with no Republican votes.

---

He has handlers (and it is definitely plural). He just doesn't remember he has handlers which is why he has to walk back every actual true thing he says and replace it with bull shite that no one really believes.

He doesn't support defunding the police the same way he doesn't support banning fracking, doesn't support doing away with the filibuster, and doesn't support tying the bipartisan infrastructure bill to the highly partison Democrat human infrastructure bill. Meaning he says he doesn't support these things but he will cave in like a Chilean coal mine to the leftists pulling his strings and running the Democrat party the first time they so much as breathe on him.

quote:

---

The Republicans don’t support the bill because they can’t be seen to be cooperating with the other party or they will be primaried.

---

The bill isn't supported because the democrats keep trying to sneak their fricking retarded pet projects in it, just like they do with every bill.

Biden doesn't dare criticize Soros for funding prosecutors who don't prosecute or the no bail crap that lets perps out as soon as they're booked.

Hard to know whats going on in the real world when you are looking down on it from your high horse.

quote:

---

I wonder if you know that’s not true and you’re just that cynical, or if you are actually that deluded?

With margins like this, there can’t be anything in a non-reconciliation bill that both sides don’t agree on.

---

You mean like when they snuck the millions of dollars to Pakistan for "gender equity" in the so called American Families Plan?

Gender equity in third world middle eastern shitholes has nothing to do with American families. That is a democrat pet project sneaking into a bill.

quote:

---

The far left people can say whatever they want, and the folks on this board can insist that all Democrats are the same, but the fact is that the president does not support defunding the police.

---

But everyone else in his party does support it.. The POTUS has to bend the knee to his voters.

And he came flat out and said this when?

Please supply that info.
