Speaking to Jake Tapper on CNN on Friday, Cullors, one of the founders of Black Lives Matter, said that “President Trump not only needs to not be in office in November,” but that “he should resign now.”
Cullors added that she thinks the President “is not fit for office,” and that what the Black Lives Matter organization is going to “push for is a move to get Trump out, while we’re also going to continue to push and pressure vice president Joe Biden around his policies and relationship to policing and criminalization, that’s going to be important. But our goal is to get Trump out.”

In the wake of the death of George Floyd who died in police custody in Minneapolis , Minnesota last month , the Minneapolis Police Department has been receiving resignations from officers who feel that officials in their city have betrayed them .
At least seven Minneapolis police officers have already resigned , while another seven are going through the resignation process at the time of this writing , according to the Star Tribune .
“ They don ’ t feel appreciated , ” explained former MPD officer Mylan Masson , who happens to be an expert in the use of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ right now .
I mean everybody.
” Making matters even worse for the Minneapolis PD is that some of the cops have abruptly quit without even going through the resignation process , creating more issues with a department that was already overwhelmed by COVID-19 budgetary issues as well as recruitment difficulties .
“ During this busy and trying time I have heard secondhand information that there have been employees that have advised their supervisors that they separated with the city ( or quit ) without completing paperwork , ” Deputy Chief Henry Halvorson @ @ @ @ @ @ @ need to have the process completed to ensure that we know who is continuing to work.
” Officers were said to be particularly angered by Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey ’ s decision to abandon the MPD ’ s Third Precinct and surrender it to violent rioters after Floyd ’ s death .
Though he claimed he made this decision to protect the safety of officers , the cops felt that he was actually siding with the protesters against them , and that he did not have their backs .
This comes after the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ 12 to disband the city ’ s police department and replace it with a community-based public safety program .
“ We acknowledge that the current system is not reformable — that we would like to end the current policing system as we know it , ” council member Alondra Cano said at the time of the vote .
Liberals all over the country have been calling for the dismantlement of police departments , ignoring the fact that we as a society depend on cops for protection every day .
Given the rising anti-police @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Left , it ’ s no wonder that so many cops are hanging up the duty belt and moving on with their lives .

At least seven Minneapolis police officers have already resigned, while another seven are going through the resignation process at the time of this writing, according to the Star Tribune.

thepoliticalinsider--2020-06-22--CNN Gets Schooled In Interview With Straightforward Black Sheriff

Word is circulating in DC that several people at CNN may be on the chopping block because of a last Tuesday interview gone horribly wrong by the standards of CNN .
By less leftist and more reasonable standards , it went very well and served the cable news network right for assuming a person ’ s views just because of their skin color .
Burke County , GA , Sheriff Alfonzo Williams said in an interview last Tuesday that Atlanta police Officer Garrett Rolfe was “ completely justified ” in shooting 27-year-old Rayshard Brooks , whose death sparked a new @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the third law enforcement agency I ’ ve been head of , ” Williams , who is black , told CNN .
“ Every agency I ’ ve gone to , I ’ ve required every officer who carries a Taser to be tased with it , so that you understand the incapacitation.
” The problem for CNN was that show bookers had assumed , because Williams is black , the sheriff would criticize the shooting and chalk it up to racial hatred .
When Williams went south on them the reporter was @ @ @ @ @ @ @ interview gone bad , to comical results .
“ Five seconds ; 1,001 , 1,002 , 1,003 , 1,004 , 1,005 .
That ’ s five whole seconds [ when ] if an officer is hit with that Taser that he , all of his muscles will be locked up and he ’ ll have the inability to move and to respond .
And yet he is still responsible for every weapon on his belt .
So , if that officer had been hit , he still has a firearm on his side @ @ @ @ @ @ @ in the head or having his firearm taken and used against him was a probability .
And so he did what he needed to do .
And this was a completely justified shooting.
” “ So you think lethal force here was necessary ?
” asked CNN anchor Brianna Keilar , trying to spin her way out of the predicament .
But Williams had already said it was .
He argued that the Fourth Amendment to the Constitution permits it in this type of situation , saying , “ There ’ s nothing @ @ @ @ @ @ @ officers behaved .
It ’ s very unfortunate that the law enforcement leaders in the state of Georgia have not come out and stood together on this case .
I think it ’ s political and it ’ s senseless .
“ We ’ re sending the wrong message to our black youth , ” he added .
“ We ’ re telling them that it ’ s OK , that they can run from the police , that they can take a weapon from the police , they can fight with the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the police , and expect nothing to happen .
That is the wrong message to send to black youth.
” Then hilariously , after Williams has confidently said numerous times that he is certain Rolfe acted accordingly , Keilar pathetically squeaks out : “ It sounds like you don ’ t know .
It sounds like you are saying perhaps there could be a possibility that maybe that escalation to the use of the Taser might not have happened then if it were a white man [ under arrest ] .
” Williams @ @ @ @ @ @ @ entire interview .
But Keilar knows how bad it is and is trying to salvage one or two lines to cover herself .
It isn ’ t working .
“ I ’ m not saying that at all , ” Williams responded .
“ I ’ m saying that what happened in the Brooks case is completely justified , 100 percent .
And an officer generally goes to work every day , he ’ s not concerned about whether a perpetrator is black or white .
He ’ s there to do a @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Williams are sorely needed in this nation .
And it also almost goes without saying , after that example of deranged unsuccessful spin , less anchors like Keilar would do this country well .

Williams laid out his case:
“Five seconds; 1,001, 1,002, 1,003, 1,004, 1,005. That’s five whole seconds [when] if an officer is hit with that Taser that he, all of his muscles will be locked up and he’ll have the inability to move and to respond. And yet he is still responsible for every weapon on his belt. So, if that officer had been hit, he still has a firearm on his side and the likelihood of him being stomped in the head or having his firearm taken and used against him was a probability. And so he did what he needed to do. And this was a completely justified shooting.”
“So you think lethal force here was necessary?” asked CNN anchor Brianna Keilar, trying to spin her way out of the predicament. But Williams had already said it was.

That is the wrong message to send to black youth.”
Then hilariously, after Williams has confidently said numerous times that he is certain Rolfe acted accordingly, Keilar pathetically squeaks out: “It sounds like you don’t know. It sounds like you are saying perhaps there could be a possibility that maybe that escalation to the use of the Taser might not have happened then if it were a white man [under arrest].”
Williams had said precisely the opposite during the entire interview. But Keilar knows how bad it is and is trying to salvage one or two lines to cover herself. It isn’t working.
“I’m not saying that at all,” Williams responded. “I’m saying that what happened in the Brooks case is completely justified, 100 percent. And an officer generally goes to work every day, he’s not concerned about whether a perpetrator is black or white. He’s there to do a job.”
More law enforcement chiefs like Williams are sorely needed in this nation. And it also almost goes without saying, after that example of deranged unsuccessful spin, less anchors like Keilar would do this country well.

thepoliticalinsider--2020-06-22--DeSantis Flattens Cuomo: Please Don’t Send Florida Tourists To Nursing Homes

Florida Governor Ron DeSantis took a swipe at his New York counterpart over a major scandal involving the coronavirus pandemic and Andrew Cuomo ’ s role in nursing home deaths .
Cuomo chimed in on recent news that the Sunshine State has seen a spike in new COVID-19 cases – something DeSantis attributes to increased testing – by suggesting he would quarantine visitors from Florida .
As if anybody is actually clamoring to get back in to New York .
It was the kind of petulant comment you ’ d expect from Cuomo .
A response to DeSantis having to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ coming into his state .
“ It is a real concern , ” Cuomo said when asked about a quarantine on incoming Floridians .
“ You ’ re right , it could happen and it is something I ’ m considering.
” Cuomo ’ s threat is laughable on two fronts : • New York far exceeds all other states in confirmed COVID-19 cases and deaths .
In the latter statistic , New York nearly doubles that of the next closest state of New Jersey ( 24,710 to 12,857 ) .
Florida has @ @ @ @ @ @ @ businesses and resident well before Cuomo did .
So a quarantine in people from NY is understandable .
• The New York Times has reported that Florida has been a top destination for New Yorkers seeking to escape the coronavirus pandemic after the Cuomo administration badly mishandled the response .
Could the rise in cases be partially due to that ?
DeSantis responded by blasting Cuomo for a deadly scandal that the Democrat helped perpetuate .
“ I would just ask if that ’ s done just please do not quarantine any Floridians @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , ” DeSantis chided during a press conference .
RELATED : Cuomo : It ’ s Trump ’ s Fault That I Issued An Order Forcing Nursing Homes To Take COVID Patients DeSantis ’ comment is alluding to an executive order issued by Cuomo in March which forced nursing homes to take on patients that had tested positive for coronavirus .
The order stated in-part : “ No resident shall be denied readmission or admission to NH solely based on a confirmed or suspected diagnosis of COVID-19.
” Cuomo then failed to reverse @ @ @ @ @ @ @ upon thousands of senior citizen deaths mounted .
His administration responded to DeSantis ’ jab through a statement by senior adviser Rich Azzopardi , a man with all the emotional stability of a pre-pubescent child .
“ Said the guy who can ’ t even put on a mask on the right way !
” responded Azzopardi .
“ Maybe less time repeating right-wing Twitter bots and more time trying to competently manage the pandemic that ’ s spiking in his state.
” If one were to analyze Azzopardi ’ s Twitter timeline @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ’ s the “ bulldog ” of the administration – you ’ ll see he blames every valid debatable point that reflects poorly on his beloved boss on ‘ twitter bots.
’ But then , he ’ s just emulating his muse .
Cuomo has thus far blamed the nursing home scandal he caused on : • Reporters at the New York Post .
• President Trump ( something even Politifact said was a lie ) .
If Dad sets a bad example by blaming other entities for his own shortcomings , then @ @ @ @ @ @ @ will as well .
Republicans need to continue calling out Cuomo on this nursing home disaster every chance they get .
The media is covering for this man , who is a viable option to run for President in 2024 .

Cuomo’s threat is laughable on two fronts:

Florida has seen 3,144 deaths despite relaxing restrictions on businesses and resident well before Cuomo did. So a quarantine in people from NY is understandable.

DeSantis’ comment is alluding to an executive order issued by Cuomo in March which forced nursing homes to take on patients that had tested positive for coronavirus.
The order stated in-part: “No resident shall be denied readmission or admission to NH solely based on a confirmed or suspected diagnosis of COVID-19.”
Cuomo then failed to reverse the directive for six weeks as thousands upon thousands of senior citizen deaths mounted.
His administration responded to DeSantis’ jab through a statement by senior adviser Rich Azzopardi, a man with all the emotional stability of a pre-pubescent child.
“Said the guy who can’t even put on a mask on the right way!” responded Azzopardi. “Maybe less time repeating right-wing Twitter bots and more time trying to competently manage the pandemic that’s spiking in his state.”
If one were to analyze Azzopardi’s Twitter timeline – his bio likes to pretend he’s the “bulldog” of the administration – you’ll see he blames every valid debatable point that reflects poorly on his beloved boss on ‘twitter bots.’
But then, he’s just emulating his muse.
Cuomo has thus far blamed the nursing home scandal he caused on:
If Dad sets a bad example by blaming other entities for his own shortcomings, then of course the kids on his staff will as well.
Republicans need to continue calling out Cuomo on this nursing home disaster every chance they get. The media is covering for this man, who is a viable option to run for President in 2024.

Crump also addressed the death of Rayshard Brooks, who died in a police-related shooting in Atlanta, Georgia earlier this month.
“These are very contentious times when it comes to the whole issue of police use of force,” Crump explained. “I think … we should all try to make sure that we examine all the attendant circumstances. I hope that’s what the district attorney did, because I’ve always advocated that we have to have due process of the law for everybody and that we want to have the fair administration of justice for all involved, and what I have found is that normally, the police are going to be given every benefit of the doubt, every benefit of consideration.”
“The thing that I have found is that citizens of color are not always given that same due process, and so I think it should be fair for everybody,” he added. “It should be fair for police officers just as much as I believe it should be fair for citizens whether they are black people, white people, brown people or red people. We have to make sure that when we quote Thomas Jefferson’s words that all are created equally that we honor those words in America by saying we want equal consideration and equal justice under the law for all Americans.”

Drunk With Power
Sanders went on to claim Bolton spent his days in the administration “drunk on power,” but has little credibility as a critic when he spent months praising the President.
“I think John Bolton has absolutely zero credibility since for 17 months he went out and championed President Trump and his agenda saying all of the things he was doing right, how he had been tough on a variety of countries,” she explained.
“And now all of a sudden that he is a disgruntled former employee, his entire tune changes.”
Sanders has her own book coming out titled, Speaking For Myself, where she has already tattooed Bolton with similar statements.
“Bolton was a classic case of a senior White House official drunk on power, who had forgotten that nobody elected him to anything,” an excerpt reads. “Often Bolton acted like he was the president, pushing an agenda contrary to President Trump’s.”

Sensing a Theme
Sanders’ complete undressing of Bolton continues a theme from individuals on both sides of the political aisle, from within the administration and outside.
“He’s discredited on both sides of the aisle and if you thought James Comey was the most disliked man in America,” White House Press Secretary Kayleigh McEnany has said, “I think John Bolton has taken that title.”
Former congressman Trey Gowdy mocked the White House adversary for “pecking away in his pajamas” rather than facing cross-examination during testimony before the House or Senate.
Former Acting Director of National Intelligence Richard Grenell accused him of making things up in his book, while Rep. Adam Schiff (D-CA) suggested he was lacking in courage.


thepoliticalinsider--2020-06-23--Attorney General Bill Barr Says Durham Probe To Have Results Before End Of Summer

U.S. Attorney General Bill Barr said in a very wide-ranging interview with Maria Bartiromo on Fox News that Connecticut U.S. Attorney John Durham ’ s investigation of the Russia probe ’ s origins will likely yield “ developments ” before the summer is over .
If that indeed does happen and the expected results are damaging for the former Obama administration , including Joe Biden , it could have explosive results for the president and against Biden in the fall .
Though Barr has been taken aback by the seeming lack of general public interest in Durham ’ s investigation @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to me , that people aren ’ t concerned about civil liberties and the integrity of our governmental process in terms of the future of Durham ’ s investigation , ” he said .
“ You know , he ’ s pressing ahead as hard as he can.
” “ And I expect that , you know , we will have some developments hopefully before the end of the summer… I would say it ’ s unusual for an outgoing administration , high level officials , to be unmasking very , you know @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ’ re preparing to leave office .
Makes you wonder what they were doing , ” Barr continued .
He added , “ It ’ s been stunning that all we ’ ve gotten from the mainstream media [ is ] sort of bovine silence in the face of the complete collapse of the so-called Russiagate scandal , which they did all they could to sensationalize and drive .
And it ’ s like not even a whoops .
They are just onto the next false scandal.
” Barr also commented on the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the judge won ’ t dismiss the case even after the charges have been dropped : “ Well , as I ’ ve said , you know , we disagree with what he ’ s doing .
We think the law is clear that it is within the discretion of the executive , the executive branch ’ s function and the attorney general ’ s function to make charging decisions and determine whether to continue on a case .
And the judge is supposed to be a neutral judge on the case , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ’ s function .
So we ’ re hopeful that the case will be dismissed .
We think that ’ s what the law requires.
” Barr was asked if racism in this country is systemic , as many on the hard left claim : “ Well , I do think there ’ s racism in the country… I think there may be individuals and there are individuals who may have bias , and sometimes that may emerge and be manifested in some act .
But I don ’ t think it ’ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ yes .
In some probably not as much as we should .
As I said , this is a process of reforming our institutions , looking for inequities and making sure that we address them.
” Bartiromo queried whether police should continue to have qualified immunity , to which Barr replied , “ Without qualified immunity , I think most people would not take the job as a police officer .
So we would essentially be doing away with our police departments.
” The interview finished with Barr ’ s views on mail-in @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the floodgates to fraud .
Those things are delivered into mailboxes .
They can be taken out , ” he said .
“ There ’ s questions about whether or not it even denies a secret ballot because a lot of the states have you signing the outside of the envelope… So I think it can upset and undercut the confidence in the integrity of our elections .
If anything , we should tighten them up right now.

“So that has been surprising to me, that people aren’t concerned about civil liberties and the integrity of our governmental process in terms of the future of Durham’s investigation,” he said. “You know, he’s pressing ahead as hard as he can.”
“And I expect that, you know, we will have some developments hopefully before the end of the summer… I would say it’s unusual for an outgoing administration, high level officials, to be unmasking very, you know, very much in the days they’re preparing to leave office.

And it’s like not even a whoops. They are just onto the next false scandal.”
Barr also commented on the extraordinary case against Mike Flynn, where the judge won’t dismiss the case even after the charges have been dropped:
“Well, as I’ve said, you know, we disagree with what he’s doing. We think the law is clear that it is within the discretion of the executive, the executive branch’s function and the attorney general’s function to make charging decisions and determine whether to continue on a case. And the judge is supposed to be a neutral judge on the case, not the pros… Not exercise the prosecutor’s function. So we’re hopeful that the case will be dismissed. We think that’s what the law requires.”
Barr was asked if racism in this country is systemic, as many on the hard left claim:
“Well, I do think there’s racism in the country… I think there may be individuals and there are individuals who may have bias, and sometimes that may emerge and be manifested in some act. But I don’t think it’s systemic. In some jurisdictions, yes. In some probably not as much as we should. As I said, this is a process of reforming our institutions, looking for inequities and making sure that we address them.”
Bartiromo queried whether police should continue to have qualified immunity, to which Barr replied, “Without qualified immunity, I think most people would not take the job as a police officer. So we would essentially be doing away with our police departments.”
The interview finished with Barr’s views on mail-in voting.
“Well it absolutely opens the floodgates to fraud. Those things are delivered into mailboxes. They can be taken out,” he said. “There’s questions about whether or not it even denies a secret ballot because a lot of the states have you signing the outside of the envelope… So I think it can upset and undercut the confidence in the integrity of our elections. If anything, we should tighten them up right now.”

thepoliticalinsider--2020-06-23--Joe Biden Is Ducking The Press

Joe Biden Is Ducking The Press

Presumptive Democratic nominee Joe Biden has not had a press conference for almost three months .
On Sunday , one of his aides did the talk show rounds and tried to sidestep the question of why Biden is ducking the media .
The obvious answer is because he has had so many gaffes , so many awkward moments , so many confused references to imaginary situations that his campaign is frightened to death every time he opens his mouth .
They worry he ’ ll say something like this again , and again .
His campaign sent someone out to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ MIA status .
“ Just because we ’ re campaigning virtually does not mean we are not meeting actual voters across the country , ” Biden aide Symone Sanders said on Fox News Sunday , adding , “ Vice President Biden has campaigned in Michigan and Florida .
Dr. [ Jill ] Biden has campaigned in Colorado and Texas .
So the reality is what we have been doing is following CDC guidelines.
” The Biden campaign is using those guidelines , and the Democratic Party is using their upcoming convention , as @ @ @ @ @ @ @ likely won ’ t work , as Biden frequently goes off script .
Expect a Democrat ploy to change the rules of the presidential debates as well , to deny the president direct access to Biden to prevent Trump from tearing him to shreds .
When asked again why Biden won ’ t speak to the media , Sanders switched to this talking point : “ And so the vice president is doing local media interviews , he ’ s doing national media interviews , and he is taking questions from reporters.
” @ @ @ @ @ @ @ stops and for a very limited amount of time .
This also gives aides the power to end the questioning at any time they think Biden could be losing his train of thought or making strangely anachronistic references to former associates or leg hair .
When asked why Biden condemned Saturday ’ s Trump rally in Tulsa , Oklahoma , but has had nothing but praise for violent looters , arsonists , and vandals , Sanders made an unsuccessful and meandering defense of her walking meal ticket : “ There is no double-standard @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
The American people have the right to go out and raise their voices .
The difference here is , Chris , we are talking about the president of the United States — whose vice president , by the way , heads the White House coronavirus task force — holding a rally not following their own precautions that his own public health officials have put out.
” How one event , the sole recent Trump rally , is a threat to public health and dozens of violent riots across the country where thousands @ @ @ @ @ @ @ proximity to each other are not in the same category is a question , given her above response , that Sanders chose not to answer .
So like her boss , Sanders ducked the press but she has the extraordinary ability to at least try to do it when sitting in front of them .
That spin may have gotten her out of a jam on a Sunday political talk show , but it will not save Joe Biden on a debate stage when he is looking down both barrels of a line @ @ @ @ @ @ @ was written by David Kamioner on June 23 , 2020 .

The obvious answer is because he has had so many gaffes, so many awkward moments, so many confused references to imaginary situations that his campaign is frightened to death every time he opens his mouth. They worry he’ll say something like this again, and again.
If @realDonaldTrump said something this disgusting the media would be all over it there would be no forgiveness, but Joe Biden as always gets a pass while hiding in his basement! Biden said in 1977 that desegregation would create ‘a racial jungle’ https://t.co/mp3KrbDv5i — Donald Trump Jr. (@DonaldJTrumpJr) June 19, 2020
His campaign sent someone out to try and repair the damage of his MIA status. “Just because we’re campaigning virtually does not mean we are not meeting actual voters across the country,” Biden aide Symone Sanders said on Fox News Sunday, adding, “Vice President Biden has campaigned in Michigan and Florida. Dr. [Jill] Biden has campaigned in Colorado and Texas. So the reality is what we have been doing is following CDC guidelines.”
The Biden campaign is using those guidelines, and the Democratic Party is using their upcoming convention, as a way to muzzle Biden. It likely won’t work, as Biden frequently goes off script.

When asked again why Biden won’t speak to the media, Sanders switched to this talking point: “And so the vice president is doing local media interviews, he’s doing national media interviews, and he is taking questions from reporters.”
Yes he is, at highly orchestrated stops and for a very limited amount of time. This also gives aides the power to end the questioning at any time they think Biden could be losing his train of thought or making strangely anachronistic references to former associates or leg hair.
When asked why Biden condemned Saturday’s Trump rally in Tulsa, Oklahoma, but has had nothing but praise for violent looters, arsonists, and vandals, Sanders made an unsuccessful and meandering defense of her walking meal ticket: “There is no double-standard here.

The difference here is, Chris, we are talking about the president of the United States — whose vice president, by the way, heads the White House coronavirus task force — holding a rally not following their own precautions that his own public health officials have put out.”
How one event, the sole recent Trump rally, is a threat to public health and dozens of violent riots across the country where thousands of thugs and miscreants stood in close proximity to each other are not in the same category is a question, given her above response, that Sanders chose not to answer.
So like her boss, Sanders ducked the press but she has the extraordinary ability to at least try to do it when sitting in front of them.
