    1) Not everything is an example of racial discrimination nor is every criminal justice story a product of racism or lack of it.
    2) George Floyd wasn't "sentenced." A judge didn't put his or her foot on his throat after a criminal conviction. That is such a bad take. George Floyd was murdered. What happened to him was a crime, and the individuals responsible for his death faced the criminal justice system.

    Okay I'll take that one back, it was for effect admittedly. No your statement is true (how can it not be, its an absolute that gives you an out if just one instance doesn't qualify) but this is the latest example of racial discrimination where the white, privileged, defendant gets leniency and the black, indigent, does not. If you want specific examples (names) I'll hunt them down but do I need to pull examples of where the black defendant who stole someone's car got 25 for grand larceny?

    It's windy in here. Sometimes effect sails right over people's heads.

    Maxwell will ride out her days at probably the same Club Fed for women that Martha Stewart went to.

    I watch too much MSNBC on weekends.

    If something tried to sail over Ragu's head, he would catch it.

    I want to see Clinton, Trump and Hunter Biden’s laptop on that list.

    Because there are 5-4 odds that a former POTUS is on it (and maybe not even Willy Billy). I care about the victims, but I also care about pedo CiCs. If TFG shows up, I’m wondering how the QAnon crowd will spin it.

    TFG wont't show up, so no QAnon spin necessary. Power, and privilege ensures anonymity. Read: White and Rich.

    if he is on there, they again will claim deep state, lies, he didn’t do as much as others, he didn’t know they were underage, it was a long time ago.
