Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

… pundit janitors mopping up after the gop

Bark louder, little dog.

“And when the Committee says to “report your income,” that could mean anything!

Somebody needs to explain to DeSantis that nobody needs to do anything to make him look bad.

Trump makes a mockery of the legal system and cowardly judges just sit back and let him.

When do we start airlifting the women and children out of Texas?

They were going to turn on one another at some point. It was inevitable.

Let us savor the impending downfall of lawless scoundrels who richly deserve the trouble barreling their way.

The republican caucus is covering themselves with something, and it’s not glory.

Republicans seem to think life begins at the candlelight dinner the night before.

When someone says they “love freedom”, rest assured they don’t mean yours.

This must be what justice looks like, not vengeful, just peaceful exuberance.

I desperately hope that, yet again, I am wrong.

Meanwhile over at truth Social, the former president is busy confessing to crimes.

Republicans: slavery is when you own me. freedom is when I own you.

The arc of the moral universe doesn’t bend itself. it’s up to us.

Cole is on a roll !

Everyone is in a bubble, but some bubbles model reality far better than others!

This has so much WTF written all over it that it is hard to comprehend.

He seems like a smart guy, but JFC, what a dick!

We are builders in a constant struggle with destroyers. let’s win this.

Schmidt just says fuck it, opens a tea shop.

You don’t get rid of your umbrella while it’s still raining.

This blog will pay for itself.

Ray Lewis Has Feelings About Baltimore

by Elon James White|  April 29, 201511:30 am| 68 Comments

This post is in: This Week In Blackness

FacebookTweetEmail

Here’s the thing: we get that people are impassioned about what’s going on in Baltimore. But just because you have feelings doesn’t mean you need a public forum. Take former Baltimore Ravens star Ray Lewis who posted a plea on Facebook:

“No way this can happen in our city!” He implored the “kids” responsible for the rioting to “go home,” saying they had “no right to do what you’re doing to this city.” Lewis said that he and the people “who built the city, who put it on their backs,” know that Freddie Gray’s death was unjust and symptomatic of larger issues. “We know there’s injustice,” he said, “but rioting in our streets is wrong!” He concluded by noting that in no way should the people of Baltimore allow the protesters to “dictate” what happens to “our city,” then reached out last time to those he believes responsible for the night’s events to “go home,” because he’s “not going to allow this to happen on [his] clock.”

This is coming from a man who was once charged with murder stemming from a Superbowl brawl. Also, specifics would be helpful.

Team Blackness also discussed more reactions to #BaltimoreUprising and their upcoming planned trip to the city, updates on Nigeria and Boko Haram, and more words of ignorance from Donald Trump.

    Various conservative sources have been claiming that Freddie Gray had recently been in an auto accident and had received spinal surgery. A little while ago, Snopes had it as Unconfirmed. They have now updated that claim to FALSE.
    Apparently, there was a lawsuit filed by a person named Freddie Gray that was dismissed a week before his death. However, that was related to lead paint. How that became an auto accident with a spinal injury is unclear. I suspect it was from the investigative firm Outtamy Associates.

    OT I’ve heard of trying to thread a needle with a camel but this opinion but Justice Robersts is absurd. He tries to make a distinction that the public has an interest in judges not being corrupted by campaign money but politicans are different. FDrom Huffington

    WASHINGTON — In a 5-4 decision on Wednesday, the Supreme Court upheld the right of states to ban elected judges from soliciting campaign contributions for their own campaigns. The majority decision was penned by Chief Justice John Roberts and joined by the court’s four liberal justices.

    The decision comes after a long string of court rulings that overturned campaign finance regulations, among them the well-known 2010 Citizens United and the 2014 McCutcheon cases. Wednesday’s ruling, by contrast, upholds a campaign finance regulation, and does so by making a strong distinction between the role of the judiciary and the role of elected legislative and executive officials.

    Explaining this distinction, Roberts, writing for the majority, said: “A State’s interest in preserving public confidence in the integrity of its judiciary extends beyond its interest in preventing the appearance of corruption in legislative and executive elections. As we explained in [Republican Party of Minnesota v. White], States may regulate judicial elections differently than they regulate political elections, because the role of judges differs from the role of politicians.”

    SO at least in political corruption trials the judge will be ‘honest’. Of course Roberts could have gone the Citizens United route so I guess that is some consolation

    EDIT: From your link

    But to be honest, what happened under his [O’Malley’s] watch as Baltimore’s mayor was that he wanted to be governor.

    I have family in Maryland. Their opinion of some of the things he did as governor was they were set up to draw national attention, so he could run for President.

    @Jonny Scrum-half: For any NFL fan, it’s impossible not to picture Lewis sounding deranged addressing this situation, simply because he was such an over the top rah-rah showboat and super jock caricature of a player. It’s also a persona he’s continued to cultivate in his new career as a knowledgable talking head sports guy. Though to be sure, his youthful scrape with the law also distorts whatever he might have to say about lawn order, too.

    Wouldn’t it be reasonable to assume a little bit of benefit of the doubt in that Mr Rice probably feels that the injustice done to Mr Grey was extraordinarily horrific – and in parallel, assume that the vast majority of those in Rice’s audience understand the likelihood of his feelings on that episode of extreme police brutality.

    @Betty Cracker: Based on the killing and harassment of black people in this country, I am not sure I can think of one person in office, including Barack Obama, whose administration hasn’t at least continued to contribute to this problem.

    I am not a big fan of “look forward, not back”, but in this particular instance our entire country has been a complete failure, so I’m a lot more concerned about what happens from this moment in time.

    Except for the use of the word “thug” – dammit, why did you have to use the word thug??? – I really liked what the president had to say yesterday.

    Every single potential candidate will have sucked on this issue in the past, so what I want to see is what O’Malley says and does from this point on.

He has a chance to get some ignorant white people (who follow his comments) educated on what it is like for poor black people in Baltimore. IMO, he has failed so far.

    Either way, who cares?

    What does this have to do with the events in Baltimore or the causes of the eruptions?

    And by what right do these fools have to consider the “wisdom” of Lewis’ decision to comment?

    I really don’t give a rat’s ass about Lewis one way or another, but I don’t see how focusing on him for even a nanosecond means a goddam thing.

    If he fucked up and contributed to the problem, and it sounds like he did (I have not read the article yet, but I have it open in another tab for reading later today) then I hope he can look back and realize that and say it out loud. He had also better talk about what/how he thinks we can move forward from here.

    And I”m not talking about something like changing pollution standards effective in 2018 – as a country, we have blood on our hands and we need to turn the ship around NOW. People are dying – three or five more years where (mostly) black men are being murdered by the police and entire communities of black/poor people are screwed over by the police and city governments every single day should just not be acceptable.

    @WaterGirl: It took a couple of post WW2 generations to get there, but today even the Germans deal with their history in a more enlightened manner than we here on the shiny house on the hill. After all, the abject failure of Americans to take a bead on Vietnam was a primary factor in Bush-Cheney (et.al.) successfully plotting war.

    The interjection of “thug” into the discussion is no more than another attempt to suborn popular vernacular, as was brilliantly accomplished post-1980 with the word ‘liberal’ being driven to ground, and less so with the heavy handed use of ‘democrat’ rather than ‘democratic’ (the “democrat” party). And while Lee Atwater would recognize the ploy, as Baltimore citizen pointed out last night while crossing swords with a talking head (“might as well call them n******”), said ploy will be loudly and cogently rebutted by any democratic party official worth their keep.

    The Presidnt may not be able to federalize every police department in the country, but I think his hand was just forced where Baltimore is concerned. The Guardian is reporting:

    “Baltimore’s under-fire criminal justice system risked antagonising its already seething local community on Wednesday by suspending legal procedures and imposing bail bonds of up to half a million dollars on the city’s most impoverished residents…”.

    @Matt McIrvin: As did Colin Powell, in another infamous bit of theatre in which he described a pilot reporting a air strike. Powell spoke of his report as though it were an absolution of our tragic blundering in Vietnam, indeed, as though the air strike erased the scale of the war crimes we committed there during those terrible years. Like I said, we didn’t study the war as “philosophy to learn wisdom from”, as Lincoln counseled the American people do even as our Civil War raged. A personal relationship with American history, invariably coupled with an attendant comprehension beyond the fairy tales, scares the hell out of a lot of people (across the political spectrum, too).

    Exactly. The riot was manufactured as was the supposed threat of gang violence.

    If I were a parent of one of the children left stranded and unable to get home from school I would be furious and would expect school, police, and city officials to be fired over this.

    The president is definitely working something. I hope we will see some proposals for legislation based on the task force recommendations.
