Spineless cowards -- the lot of them.

Reminder: Trump has been fighting for over four years not to release his tax returns.

If Obama had done that, the entire GOP and sycophant MAGAts out there would've been screaming to high heaven.

In fact, if Obama had done or said any of the questionable or disgusting things 45 has, the GOP would've been in a near-constant state of apoplexy.

The GOP are spineless cowards. It also probably means 45 has a lot of dirt on them. But the GOP has chosen the battlefield they want to die on, so I say let them.

Example of white privilege: Trump was proud of 'grabbing them by the pussy.' What if Obama had said that? The rabid right-wingers would've been burning crosses on the White House lawn.

What have we learned? In America, the GOP and MAGAts are perfectly fine with a rich, white man grabbing women by the pussy (which is disgusting, to begin with), but only if the candidate is WHITE.

They're nothing short of an ethically bankrupt Group of Psychopaths (GOP).

Reopen the Sandra Bland case!

The authorities need to reopen the Sandra Bland case. Her case still haunts me and has for a long time. She, too, was murdered by the police. She was a black woman. She didn't use her signal when she changed lanes and she ended up dead because of it.
You should not DIE because you forgot to use your turn signal. I guarantee you if Sandra had been a white woman, she would be alive today.
If you don't see a problem with all of this, you are BLIND or you don't give a shit because you suck as a human being. So many of you are sitting your asses up in a church every damn week -- or twice a week -- and being a hypocrite the entire time. Judging others and acting like you're better than everyone else, couched in your white privilege. When it comes to THOU SHALT NOT KILL, you get all silent when the person has a different skin color than you do -- ain't that right? Not your concern -- none of your business, huh? If this is you, you're a hypocrite.
So...what would Jesus do? If you're honest, you know the answer. Walk your talk. If you're a Christian, you know all of this is wrong and you should have the backbone to speak out and to stand up against it. If you don't, you stay home come Sunday, 'cause you're a fake-ass Christian and Jesus doesn't want nothing to do with your hypocritical ass!
Those for whom the above shoe fits, let me say that I know more respectable atheists, pagans, and Satanists than the lot of you.

Guess they didn't deserve a burger or a future day in court, huh?

Too bad Terence Crutcher, Keith Lamont Scott, Michael Brown, and other black men shot and killed because police *thought* they were on PCP, reaching for a gun, carrying a gun, stealing cigarettes, looking at them the wrong way, acting funny, [insert excuse here], etc. weren't Dylann Roof (the white guy who murdered 9 black parishioners at Charleston's AME Emanuel Church) OR Robert Lewis Dear (the Planned Parenthood killer) instead.

If they had been Dylann Roof, then maybe they, too, would've been taken alive and driven to Burger King for a burger like Dylann was before he was transported to the police station. Gotta feed that murderous asshole, right?

Or maybe they would've been taken alive, just like Robert Lewis Dear was. He was the murderous asshole who took over a Planned Parenthood office here in Colorado Springs, killed a UCCS officer, injured other officers, and killed two innocent people. That son of a bitch is still alive, isn't he?

Now, what if Dylann Roof and Robert Lewis Dear had been black? Any bets on whether a black perpetrator would've been taken alive in those two scenarios? I guess allegedly stealing items from a store or walking with your hands up in the air both merit being shot to death right then and there as opposed to committing cold-blooded murder and being given the chance to remain alive for a future day in court.

And no, I'm not against cops, so don't start that bullshit with me. I used to work in a police department and I know how hard and risky being a police officer is because I've seen it firsthand.

However, I am against badly trained, psychologically unfit, or trigger-happy civil servants with bad judgment. Cops are human beings; therefore, not all cops are good, and not all cops are bad.

And yes, police officers' lives do matter. I never said they didn't and I never will. To assume such a thing is ludicrous and shows a lack of critical thought.

The entire system needs an overhaul because there is systemic failure occurring throughout the country. The more the issues are ignored, the worse things will become. Let's save lives -- both police officers' lives and civilian lives -- before more are needlessly lost.

Need I say more? I don't think so.
