Stewart: ‘WTF Are You Talking About?’

What ÂŽs are always talking about:
GÂŽifting the ÂŽubes.

Whatever ®s might be addressing–
it always circles back around to campaigning;
ergo, raising money–
ergo, gÂŽifting the ÂŽubes.

There is not easier money to be made in politics–
than running for POTUS as a gÂŽifting ÂŽ.
And? You don’t even have to quit your day job!

You can be as big an idiot as you might desire too.
Just look at Rand Paul.
Black man strangled by white cop?
What’s the important takeaway?
F^cking cigarette tax!

Yeah. WTF?

Thanks Jon Stewart, for comically calling Paul out his silly statement.

On a serious note, I do hope progressives will finally take note of the fact that Paul is a fake. He is an opportunist who is given Republican talking points, to which he mindfully repeats.

I really appreciate his highlighting of the relationship between the prosecutors and the cops (though I’d throw in judges) as being a large part of the problem. Year after year citizens are murdered by cops, yet somehow, cops are almost never held to account. No wonder affected communities don’t trust the legal system, as it certainly isn’t working for them.

Libertarians are the biggest phonies. They’re supposedly opposed to government overreach but stay silent about police killings of blacks, the ultimate government overreach. Any black voters who follow this nutcase liar are probably the self-hating Ben Carson types.

Yes; one of the good things to come out of this awful episode is that suddenly lots of people are talking about requiring special prosecutors in cases where cops kill because of the typical local prosecutor’s institutional closeness to the local police.

Maybe I am missing something… WHAT HAPPENED TO TASERS?

If you dig a little deeper, Paul may be onto something. Take a look this Rolling Stone article by Matt Taibbi, who argues that the people like Garner are killed over selling cigarettes while the banksters who ruined the economy get off scott-free.

Well it really wouldn’t look good to have someone laying on the ground twitching from numerous wires running from cop to victim. Its better to solve the problem by killing them and blame it on everything else except the murderer. Dead people don’t testify and what you saw on that video didn’t really happen because the experts said so.

Cliven Bundy is an infamous Nevadan, and a very white, racist man, who owes us taxpayers over a million dollars in grazing fees, and has resisted arrest, with the help of his white militia buddies. Why is he still alive when all these unarmed black guys are dead over trivialities?

[/quote] They’ve proven to not be deadly enough. Especially on unarmed black people.
