IT would be unjust to say that had leftists in the United States not curated an electorally motivated rampage in response to his police-involved death by elephantine overdose in 2020, George Floyd’s permanent absence from society would have saved lives. I am not proud of having been baited into expressing sentiments of that kind in the past, after the fashion of Achilles with Hector in tow. The moral and historical responsibility of calling out the violence committed nationwide by the mostly white knights who exploited his demise doesn’t necessitate an exaggeration of his wickedness. If a repentant man should be forgiven 70 times 7 times, it behooves us to search for contrition in a life with comparable forbearance. By a Chicagoan standard – Capone and white or contemporary and black – Floyd was a dovish hustler whose bad habits kept leading him away from the atonement he repeatedly sought. He wasn’t quite the lovable Bubba to AntiFa’s Gump as cast by the media but he wasn’t the black Dutch Schultz either.
Jen Psaki – the woman with the easiest job in Washington: defending Joe Biden from the media – yesterday flagged the intention of Oval Office controllers to have the old man read a speech on 6 January to mark the solemn anniversary of the ‘insurrection’ at the Capitol. The relaxed White House Press Secretary didn’t mention Mr Floyd or the mysteriously well-financed, Democrat-endorsed wave of terrorism that swept through America in 2020, metastasising into a ‘defund the police’ open season that caused the biggest murder spike in a century. Many hundreds died because Democrats and allied media provocateurs wanted the unexpectedly boomy Trump Presidency destroyed. The Russia Hoax – the worst political crime in American history – was a parallel coup: what Hillary Clinton’s pinstriped mutineers were doing in the FISA court with a Kremlin forgery, Floyd-bannered militants were doing in the streets with Molotov cocktails. The stink of Lenin cannot be dry-cleaned out of the mantle Biden will don on Thursday as the Frank Constanza of white liberal Festivus.
“The president is going to speak to the truth of what happened,” spoiler-alerted Mrs Psaki, “not the lies that some have spread since, and the peril it has posed (sic) to the rule of law and our system of democratic governance.” Now, at this point convention dictates that I should sketch the many and varied ways that Biden in general and Democrats as a governing junta have obliterated the rule of law. The above-mentioned felonies and negligences, however, are unassailable historical facts and prove the impeachment, unadorned. On the subject of incitement – a Jan Sixer buzzword – I note that in 2018 Democrats hired a disturbed grievance escort to accuse then Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh of rape. Still incensed at the failure of that stunt in March 2020, Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer encouraged a mob to assassinate Justices Kavanaugh and Gorsuch. It was the most shocking public utterance by a politician in the lifetimes of most Americans. Two months later, Schumer and his colleagues got their whirlwind.
gosh typical CL,
Full of assertions but no fact. Unsure why the murder of Floyd is in but the link provides no evidence he was a hustler. Quite the opposite actually if you believe wikipedia.
Same for the Schumer alleged assignation. Pure bunkum in fact.
We have a bipartisan senate committee which said Russia did indeed involve itself in the 2016 presidential election. All the Security agencies are in agreement together with the Mueller report.
Again the crap about domestic terrorism that NO security agency agrees with. Well financed in doing just what. which democrats endorsed just what and where.
Evidence on the democrats hiring anyone to accuse Kavanaugh. Of course not!
and what exactly occurred on Jan6. Only a bunch of prats tried to upend the constitution and e3nsure the person who badly lost the election was declared President.
That is an attempted coup and of course you cannot even bring yourself to criticise that.
Says it all really
Interesting theory Homer, does that mean when the ACTU tried to bash in the doors at Parliament house in 1996 that was a coup? You idiot.
The Wikipedia article on Floyd is – as is to be expected from them – a travesty and a hagiography.

Mueller said that he could find no evidence of a Trump/Russia collaboration. Only in the fevered minds of so-called “progressives”(actually regressives) is this denied.
Again the crap about domestic terrorism that NO security agency agrees with.
Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha … ROFLMAO! Just “Fiery but mostly peaceful” demonstrations. You idiot! Which caused more deaths than the so-called “insurrection”.
and what exactly occurred on Jan6.
The first unarmed insurrection in world history. A coup which did not even involve “Fiery but mostly peaceful” demonstrations. In which the only significant violence was by the authorities, and involved the shooting of an unarmed woman by armed police, and physical assaults on others. Didn’t similar such events cause actual “Fiery but mostly peaceful” demonstrations throughout 2020?
Only a bunch of prats tried to upend the constitution and e3nsure the person who badly lost the election was declared President.
But enough about the 2016 Clinton campaign and its so-called Russian interference, based on material produced by that very Clinton campaign.
You are an uninformed idiot who adds nothing of value to any discussion.
Thoroughly debunked.
It would have to be the only “coup” in history by a tiny group (compared to the Washington, D.C. police force and U.S. military) which wasn’t even armed with so much as a pitchfork, pick-handle or baseball bat, let alone firearms.
Victor Davis Hanson:
The Washington, D.C.-based Federal Bureau of Investigation has lost all credibility as a disinterested investigatory agency……..
The fired former Director James Comey injected himself into the 2016 political race by constantly editorializing on his ongoing investigation of candidate Hillary Clinton’s email leaks. In a bizarre twist, the public learned later that Comey had allowed Hillary Clinton’s own private computer contractor, CrowdStrike, to run the investigation of the hack. The private firm was allowed to keep possession of pertinent hard drives central to the investigation. How odd that CrowdStrike’s point man was Shawn Henry, a former high-ranking FBI employee.
During the Robert Mueller special investigation, the FBI implausibly claimed it had no idea how requested information on FBI cell phones had mysteriously disappeared.
It was also under Comey’s directorship that the FBI submitted inaccurate requests for warrants to a FISA court. Elements of one affidavit to surveil Trump supporter Carter Page were forged by FBI lawyer Kevin Clinesmith, who later pleaded guilty to a felony.
The FBI hired the disreputable ex-British spy Christopher Steele as a contractor, while he was peddling his fantasy—the Clinton-bought dossier—to Obama government officials and the media.
Former FBI general counsel James Baker was reportedly the subject of a federal investigation. He allegedly conducted prominent meetings both with media outlets that later leaked lurid tales from the Steele dossier. He also met repeatedly with the now-indicted Perkins Coie attorney Michael Sussman.
Comey himself, through third-party intermediaries, leaked to the media his own confidential memos detailing private meetings with President Trump. His assurances both to Congress and to Trump that the president was not the current subject of FBI investigations were either misleading or outright lies.
In sworn testimony to the House Intelligence Committee, Comey on some 245 occasions claimed he could not remember or had no knowledge of key elements of his own “Russian collusion” investigation.
Comey’s replacement, acting FBI director Andrew McCabe, was fired for leaking sensitive information to the media. He then lied on at least three occasions about his role to federal attorneys and his own FBI investigators.
McCabe is now a paid CNN consultant who often has offered misleading information on the Russian collusion hoax that he helped promulgate.
Former FBI director and special counsel Robert Mueller conducted a 22-month, $40 million wild goose chase after some mythical “Russian Collusion” plot. When called before Congress, Mueller claimed he had little or no knowledge about Fusion GPS or the Steele Dossier, the twin sources that birthed the entire collusion hoax.
FBI lawyer Lisa Page was removed from Mueller’s investigation, along with her paramour FBI investigator Peter Strzok. Both misused FBI communications, revealing their pro-Clinton biases during their investigations of “Russian collusion,” while hiding their own unprofessional relationship.
Mueller himself staggered their firings and delayed explanations about why they were let go from his investigation team…….

He was hustling for cigarettes with a counterfeit 20 when he was arrested for the last time, Homer. That was his m.o. Low IQ, dumbo stuff.
Yes Lee, the Wikipedia article presented Floyd in the best possible light but he wasn’t a major criminal.
It isn’t necessary to hype his criminality to decry what the real animals did in his name.
Homes, the assertions you’re posting here make the Skanke Ho abomination look like amateur hour. You’ve really progressed. Congrats as it’s full retard delusion now.
Homer, don’t ever change.
so there we have it
apologists for the great liar ( JC would surely call him the great fat liar) simply lie about things to be apologists for an attempted coup.
We even have primary school drop outs again saying it was a peaceful demonstrations and they were unarmed. another lie.
Deplorables lie so much they live in a world of lies. It is very easy to show up the lies. as can be seen above.

Those who never finished Kindy are in no position to make baseless assertions about lies. How many of those arrested on Jan 6 have been charged with insurrection or sedition? How many have been charged with firearms offences (DC has very strict firearms laws)? Stop talking through your @rse and try to face reality for once in your miserable (skanky?) life.
Deplorables lie so much they live in a world of lies. It is very easy to show up the lies. as can be seen above.
Don’t just sit there babbling incoherently, present your actual evidence, not your usual evidence-free assertions.
so it has come to this. A fool even denies what we saw on TV. It wasn’t peaceful and they a were armed , they were making threats and even seeking out certain people’s offices..
and of course primary school drop outs don’t recognise evidence anyway.
It is remarkable how impervious they are to their own ignorance.
It is the writer to provide reasons let alone evidence for the article. I have already showed again there is none. There never is with CL.
It is simply pathetic

Oh, you mean the BLM “Fiery but mainly peaceful demonstrations”. Why didn’t you make it clear?
Of course, what we saw on TV included the “armed insurrectionists” being ushered into the Capitol by the Capitol Police, and they carefully staying between the guide ropes. Then an unarmed woman was shot without warning. Surely a far worse incident than the now thoroughly debunked “Hands up, don’t shoot” incident that led to prolonged rioting across multiple cities.
And none of them have been charged with insurrection, sedition, or with firearms offences, despite your hysterical assertions of an insurrection or coup.
It is remarkable how impervious they are to their own ignorance.
Have you been looking in the mirror again?
I have already showed again there is none.
You have shown nothing, you have made several unsupported assertions. You are correct about one thing though, your inability to provide evidence is indeed “simply pathetic”. Indeed, it is not even at kindy level. More of an infantile dummy spit.
It would have made headline news if they were armed, but it didn’t because it was never the case.
There is no way the Dems, the MSM, and all the lefty haters would have passed up the opportunity to demonize if they had been armed.
No one, but no one, not even the fiercest critic of the events of January 6 has made this claim except you.
BTW, projecting is very much your strong point, with wild accusations and fact-free assertions, entirely lacking evidence.
No you haven’t.
Your assertions do not constitute evidence or proof.

Have you checked how many of those arrested after 6 January have been charged with insurrection or sedition yet? And how many are facing firearms charges?
