Ninga's JournalThe biggest question of all "was there anything you could have done to prevent..?"
Wilson = "no"
That alone should negate him or any other person from EVER being an officer of the peace.
Potential officers SHoULD be screened for being adult, clear thinking, with a personality that reveals they are trainable and without narsasisstic personality disorder.
Period.
Ferguson presser so far is disrespectful bullshit. Once again, tone deaf
pols with their own blah blah blah. This decision has been hanging in the air too long to be prefaced by such posturing. Just ugh.
Every few days here at DU, OP's about Hillary pop up.
Typically these OP's love, hate, challenge, support, chastise, and more.
Regarding 2016 Presidential primary season....I intend to listen and read about all of the candidates.
I intend to start with as clean a slate as possible. I intend to listen for words and statements that telegraph positions. I intend to read the position papers of each candidate.
Including Hillary.
I will not make a predetermined decision until I hear and read to determine if the candidate has evolved as I have known them to be in the past. Have they moved more right, or left? Expanded or contracted their positions? Will they stand on the shoulders of their experience and display the gravitas to talk about poverty and other issues that affect the people who are not registered voters.
Including Hillary.
I don't know about you, but I have changed my thinking and experienced valuable personal growth in the past 15 years. I'm still learning.
It's money...plain and simple...it trumps everything
GOP has tons of it...add in Citizen's United...Corporation have free "political" speech...equals negative ads...plus low information voters...suppresses turnout....equals outcome.
Simple. In the doctors waiting room. TV on. Negative ads every commercial break. I could not believe how people stared, like zombies, eyes fixated on the stupid TV.
Low information voters HATE politics. They HATE having their TV programs taken over by political ads. They HATE both parties. Sorry, but the ground game does NOT WORK on low information voters. Don't call, don't knock, they DON"T care.
Both parties are the same, no good. Why VOTE? Not me!!! You won't catch me giving up my time to VOTE!!
The GOP has found nirvana in the bank accounts of the corporations. Negative mailers, negative TV and lies work to suppress voting. The GOP does not want thinkers, does not want people to vote.
A quiet movement has started. Move to Amend. https://movetoamend.org
Please join.
(It took women 72 years to get the vote. Thank goodness they didn't bow to the intellectuals that said it would never happen.)
It really is a good place to start to make a difference. https://movetoamend.org
