Democratic presidential candidate calls Trump a ‘fascist’ on live TV: ‘We need to stop pretending’
https://www.rawstory.com/2019/04/de...top-pretending/?utm_source=push_notifications
that might be the case........but the Trumpian group favors a form of fascism.(by virtue of their avid support of Trump)
No, the Hillbillies will spin it around and say to the Dems "No! You're the Fascists!" and then spout some insane nonsense about Commienazis, like they do on here.

Pete Buttigieg officially announces presidential campaign

https://www.cnn.com/2019/04/14/politics/pete-buttigieg-presidential-campaign/index.html

saw him announce. He is eloquent, intelligent, is empathetic to the people situation, in a stable marriage and even if he did not address specifics of policies.......his general statements give a clue as to what direction he would go. Impressive. He has a certain charisma too. He seems "people friendly" without over doing it or being superficial. I kinda like what I hear and see in this one.......will be watching him.

POOR STUPID CLIFFY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


He is so happy living out there in the forest - unaware of ANYTHING happening in the real world!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


Here is an article illustrating what a lunatic can of worms Our idiot Boy and his loser LIE-berals have opened with their crap about indigenous “rights”!!!



With some comments of my own in brackets):

Murder conviction appeal claims banning convicted criminals from juries discriminates against Aboriginals

By Adrian Humphreys. National Post.

Published April 9, 2019.

A screen shot from an Edmonton Transit System video that was played for the jury at the second-degree murder trial of Jeremy Newborn, 32, and showed the accused repeatedly punching victim John Hollar, 29, as shocked passengers watch and move away.

( So the guy has been caught ON CAMERA and is not even denying it is him in the video! But apparently the guy thinks it is unfair that his jury was NOT made up of other thugs and killers!!! The guy wants a true “jury of his peers!!!!!!!!!!!!!!)

(Except his argument makes NO MENTION of the possible race of a criminal who is being denied the opportunity for jury duty! The law ONLY specifies no criminals- for valid reasons!!!!!!!!!!!!!!)

An appeal of an Aboriginal man’s murder conviction — after beating a fellow passenger on the Edmonton LRT in 2012 — argued Alberta’s jury selection is unconstitutional because prohibiting anyone with a criminal record from a jury disproportionately excludes Aboriginals.

(I hear the ghostly laughter of that swine Pierre Trudeau in the distance! That swine mut be delighted that his screwed up “constitution” has enabled yet another LEGAL MESS! Happily this one is not as bad as the Khadr Krap!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!)

Jeremy Newborn was denied a fair trial by a representative jury because of the criminality rules for jury eligibility, his lawyer argued.

(Lawyer can argue what he wants but to accept this particular argument would be a surrender to politically correct LIE-beral madness!!!!!)

After years of argument, disclosure, litigation and appeals, however, a panel of the Court of Appeal of Alberta rejected his complaint this week, leaving Newborn’s conviction in place.

(What? The judge DID NOT immediately LAUGH this CRAP out of court? No wonder that in 2017 - LIE-berals were so short of court space and judges that they RELEASED SEVEN ACCUSED KILLERS WITHOUT TRIALS!! And THEN RELEASED 4 accused fraud artists who had stolen a total of $44 million dollars and NO- they didnt get a trial from the so busy LIE-berals either!!!!!!!!!!)

Simon Renouf, representing Newborn, noted that while Aboriginals make up 3.8 per cent of the Canadian population, they represent 23.2 per cent of the inmate population. He argued this means a disproportionate number of Aboriginal Canadians have criminal records, tainting the composition of juries.

(All this set of numbers proves is that a large number of natives have a CRAP attitude to other peoples property and civil rights!!!!!! And that our traditional govt is RIGHT NOT to let such people sit on a jury!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!)

The arguments stem from Newborn’s 2012 deadly attack of John Hollar.

Hollar, 29, was the victim of an unprovoked assault on a light rail transit train in Edmonton, captured on video by the train’s security system. Newborn punched, kicked and eventually stomped on Hollar as he lay motionless on the floor of the train as it travelled through two station stops. He died in hospital two days later.

Newborn offered a guilty plea to manslaughter but pleaded not guilty to second-degree murder. The Crown did not accept the plea and proceeded to trial.

Newborn was described as having a significant intellectual disability and drug and alcohol addictions. He is also Aboriginal, an Alexander First Nation band member.

(So we should accuse him because he is an out of control and drug addicted moron?????????)

The composition of his jury was an issue from the start.

(The jury composition is ONLY CONTROVERSIAL among grossly selfish LIE-berals seeking to BUY native votes! The rest of us are simply focused on identifying who committed what crime????????)

Just as his 2014 trial was set to begin, his lawyer asked Newborn’s mother to walk around the area where the jury pool was gathering and see how many appeared to be Aboriginal. She reported back that none did.

Renouf alerted the judge that none of the approximately 180 people in the jury pool appeared to be Aboriginal and was granted an adjournment to appeal this disparity.

He demanded disclosure from the government of internal communications regarding Aboriginal representation on juries in Alberta and Judge Brian Burrows ordered its release, except for 90 documents protected by solicitor-client privilege.

Burrows described the undisclosed documents as communications among Crown lawyers in other proceedings “where issues similar” to Newborn’s complaint were litigated, and “legal opinions or legal assistance provided by Crown lawyers in the context of proposed legislative amendments.”

(So the asshat lawyer is hiding behind legal mumbo jumbo in that selecting people to be called for jury duty is ENTIRELY RANDOM - EXCEPT for the prohibition against criminals being on a jury!!!! No race card here!!!!!!!!!!!!!!)

In the midst of this disclosure process, in May 2015, the Supreme Court of Canada issued its decision in R v. Kokopenace, which dealt with a similar issue.

Clifford Kokopenace, an Aboriginal man living on the Grassy Narrows reserve in Ontario was convicted of manslaughter after a trial with no Aboriginals on the jury, in 2008. Ontario’s Court of Appeal ordered a new trial, but the Supreme Court overturned the appeal and reinstated the conviction.

Justice Michael Moldaver, writing for the majority, ruled: “There is no right to a jury roll of a particular composition, nor to one that proportionately represents all the diverse groups in Canadian society. Courts have consistently rejected the idea that an accused is entitled to a particular number of individuals of his or her race” on a jury or in a jury pool.

The decision, however, said that if the state “deliberately excludes a particular subset of the population,” then rights are violated.

(To exclude a racial minority simply due to their race is clearly unfair- but to specifically exclude ALL CRIMINALS is an UN-BIASED selection process! If you want on a jury then don’t get arrested!! Again- NO RACE CARD!!!!)

Renouf pressed ahead with his objection and, in 2015, called a statistician who testified that given Edmonton’s population and its Aboriginal component, about nine indigenous people in a group of 178 randomly selected people would be expected.

Burrows denied Newborn’s motion in 2015 and a trial rescheduled.

Among those ineligible to sit on a jury in Alberta, besides those convicted of a crime, are sitting federal, provincial and municipal politicians, current and former judges and lawyers, medical examiners and police officers.

“These exclusions are acceptable because, in the legislature’s reasonable view, there is a substantial possibility that persons in those categories would not be impartial as between an accused person and the Crown,” Burrows ruled.

(If you can legally deny cops and lawyers the right to sit on a jury then there can be NO HONEST option for allowing criminals in!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!)

“The disproportionate effect of the impugned exclusion in the case of Indigenous Canadians points to a shameful feature of modern Canadian society, but it does not cause a jury selected through the application of that exclusion to be unrepresentative; rather, it serves to promote the impartiality of such a jury.”

(OH yes- a VERY SHAMEFUL feature of Cdn society- that this lawyer was not slapped in the face with a contempt of court charge for insulting our intelligence!)

Newborn’s trial went ahead and, after conviction in 2017, he was given a life sentence without possibility of parole for 15 years.

Newborn then appealed to the Court of Appeal of Alberta, arguing two grounds, one again focusing on the jury exclusion.

In its decision, released Friday, the provincial appeal court leaned heavily on the Kokopenace decision.

The three-judge panel deemed any impact on the ability of Aboriginals to sit on juries as “an unfortunate consequence.” The ruling suggested police officers are excluded for similar reasons as people with convictions — potential bias.

“Even if there is such an indirect effect on Aboriginal people, there is no basis to say it is deliberate,” the decision says.

(There IS of course DELIBERATE effort to exclude ALL criminals regardless of race- thus NO RACE CARD for native asshats to play here!!!!!!!!!!!!!)

And people who aren't brainwashed Putin worshippers know damn well the voter ID laws are designed to eliminate as many traditionally Democratic constituencies as possible. The young and the non-white. That's why Texas accepts a concealed carry permit as ID for voting, and not a UT student ID.






POOR STUPID T-bonesforbrains ignores truth and reality!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


Any fool with money in pocket can sign up for a course or two and get a student ID!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


Its just a LITTLE harder than that getting a concealed carry permit in Texas!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


With a student ID card- one simply has to supply some cash and you are GOOD TO GO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


A person seeking a Texas concealed carry permit cannot have been convicted of drunk driving or been convicted of any other criminal offense - or the permit will be denied!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


And there WILL BE a criminal back ground check performed so some little fibs wont cut it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!



The Texas State application makes it clear YOU MUST SUPPLY your fingerprints and you WILL PAY FOR THEIR FINGERPRINT RECORD on you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


The site also makes clear that YOU MUST submit documentation to PROVE to POLICE SATISFACTION that you are an actual American citizen!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!



Another highlight of the documentation is that parents who are delinquent in child support payments may be denied a carry permit!!!!!!!



The seeker of a Texas carry permit MUST first complete fire arms training courses - that sound VERY MUCH like what a Cdn must complete - before the carry permit is issued!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


An owner of private property who is not comfortable with people carrying weapons on his property may order such armed persons OFF their property using specific Texas penal code legislation....................


which apparently means the owner of a movie theatre or the landlord of an apartment complex may probably legally refuse to do business with an armed person if they feel uncomfortable with it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!



The property owner who does not wish to have persons come on his property with a concealed weapon may legally deny access by the posting of a sign of certain size and specified wording according to Texas law!


And it is further specified that the sign denying access to armed persons MUST BE PRINTED IN BOTH ENGLISH AND SPANISH!!!!!!!!



State law prohibits an intoxicated person from carrying a weapon!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


Open carry of weapons on college campuses CONTINUES to be PROHIBITED at this time!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


Businesses in Texas are generally required to accept a carry permit as valid ID!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


HOWEVER a automobile rental agency is ENTITLED to ask additionally for a valid drivers license!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


NONE of this legal stuff applies to the issuing of a student ID card!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


Thus ONLY a very bad lawyer with totally screwed up values- that`s you T-bonesforbrains -would try to tell us a student ID card is



equal to a Texas weapon carry permit as proof of citizenship and the corresponding right to vote!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Not sure they care about a "unifying" figure.........Look at what they elected last time..........the most derogatory, divisive , corrosive negative candidate on the planet. The biggest variable in the situation is the American "mindset"..



Which both parties are guilty of, especially the Dems. Trump in 2020 I think.
