Take a little time to read through these.
609.224 MISDEAMOR ASSAULT IN THE FIFTH DEGREE.
(1) commits an act with intent to cause fear in another of immediate bodily harm or death; or (2) intentionally inflicts or attempts to inflict bodily harm upon another.
609.223 FELONY ASSAULT IN THE THIRD DEGREE.
(1) Substantial bodily harm. Whoever assaults another and inflicts substantial bodily harm may be sentenced to imprisonment for not more than five years or to payment of a fine of not more than $10,000, or both.
609.20 MANSLAUGHTER IN THE FIRST DEGREE.
(2) violates section 609.224 and causes the death of another or causes the death of another in committing or attempting to commit a misdemeanor or gross misdemeanor offense with such force and violence that death of or great bodily harm to any person was reasonably foreseeable,
(1) causes the death of a human being, without intent to effect the death of any person, while committing or attempting to commit a felony offense other than criminal sexual conduct in the first or second degree with force or violence or a drive-by shooting
___________________________________________________
So in the simplest terms, a misdemeanor assault can turn into a felony assault if the end result includes substantial bodily harm, even if there is not an intent to inflict that harm. To take it one step further, a simple misdemeanor assault can turn into first degree manslaughter if the end result is death of the victim, even if there is not an intent to kill.
Based on the argument of the prosecution Derek Chauvin knee to the back was assault. Jerry Blackwell went so far as to explain to the jury that it didn't matter that Chauvin might not have intended to inflict any bodily harm, Chauvin "intended" to put his knee on Floyd's back and that provided enough to prove necessary intent and prove assault. A wrong interpretation of the statute, but par for the course.
Now here is where it gets clever. Had the State introduced first degree manslaughter as a charge, then the logic (as applied by Blackwell) would have fallen under the umbrella of Chauvin committing an assault, with the unintended consequence of that assault being the death of George Floyd. This is textbook manslaughter.
But by not introducing First Degree Manslaughter, they instead simply made the argument that the unintended consequence of the knee to the back (simple misdemeanor assault) was substantial bodily harm, rather than death. They don't ever argue what that substantial injury (other than the actual death was) but what does that matter?
They go on to argue that the substantial bodily harm now make the "misdemeanor assault" a "felony assault" and that the unintended consequences of that "felony assault" was death, and therefore second degree murder.
The bootstrap argument.
While this is clever, for all practical purposes it would render the concept of first degree manslaughter stemming from assault to be obsolete. Obviously a prosecutor could argue that every assault that leads to death could be considered at some point in time prior to death to be a felony assault. After all, there has be great bodily harm administered almost by definition for someone to have died from an assault.
The fact that prosecution argued that intent didn't matter would make the first degree manslaughter even less viable. Every assault that leads to death regardless of intent would be second degree murder rather than manslaughter.
Now some may argue that every assault that leads to death should be murder rather than manslaughter. Hey, whatever blows your hair back. But that is not the law here in Minnesota or anywhere else for that matter. Either way, the prosecution just made a mockery of our laws, and Judge Cahill was either a victim of or an accessory to this mocking.
Bottom Line: The manner in which they argued the facts here was a classic first degree manslaughter argument. But they chose not to charge him with it. Likely because that was the law that best fit their case, and they were desperate for a murder charge. By eliminating it, they bet that the jury would not be willing to hand down a simple second degree manslaughter charge because of the charged political nature of the case. Obviously they bet correctly.

You can't accept that they were following the law.
You always believe that they've had an agenda.
These people are highly educated, dedicated professionals. Lifelong law enforcement officials. They are not politicians who were desperate
Either way, the prosecution just made a mockery of our laws, and Judge Cahill was either a victim of or an accessory to this mocking because they were "desperate "
Your desperation is getting worse.
Not the professional lawyers who convicted Officer Chauvin of murder and manslaughter by a jury of his peers.
A wrong interpretation of the statute, but par for the course.
In your opinion of course. You are not a lawyer. Neither am I. But I don't believe that he lied about the statute, if he did the defense attorney would have brought that up in his final closing arguments.
I don't have an agenda when I post here, 90% of the time. Of course on politics of course, but this is about the law of the land. Not my personal political feelings.

The killing of 16-year-old Ma’Khia Bryant by the Columbus police is tragic,” White House press secretary Jen Psaki"
No it was not a Tragedy. It was a knife wielding criminal get 5X'ed by a LEO.
Ending he assault.
Textbook Justified Killing.
Expert witnesses differed over the cause of Floyd’s death. The police restraint was the most obvious culprit, but the defense pointed to Floyd’s severe heart disease and that he had recently consumed fentanyl and methamphetamines, which can interfere with cardiopulmonary function. But police witnesses for the prosecution said Mr. Chauvin had violated standard police practice.
The multiracial jury appeared to have little doubt about the facts and law, as it returned the verdicts after only 10 or so hours of deliberation. The second-degree murder charge, the most severe, carries a maximum sentence of up to 40 years in prison. Unless the verdict is overturned on appeal, the 45-year-old Mr. Chauvin is likely to live behind bars for more than a decade.
It would be nice to think all of this would prompt reflection among those who have exploited Floyd’s killing for political purposes. But it probably won’t. Even after the verdict, commentators who applauded the jury gave last year’s riots in American cities the credit for inspiring it.
Not the facts. Not the law. But lawless protests. If a large faction of Americans really believe that only mayhem in the streets can guarantee justice in America, then this verdict will mean little and we are in for far more unrest ahead.
On this point, President Biden has been little help, despite his inaugural pleas for unity and healing. On Tuesday before the verdict, Mr. Biden said he was “praying” for the jury to reach “the right verdict” and that the evidence was “overwhelming.” That’s an outrageous interference with the administration of justice. Though the jury was sequestered at the time, it’s possible word of his comments could have made it to the jury had their deliberations gone on. That could have been grounds for a mistrial. Someone should ask the new Attorney General, Merrick Garland, what he thinks of those needless presidential comments.
The case also isn’t over. Mr. Chauvin’s fellow arresting officers will go on trial later this year. And Mr. Chauvin’s lawyers are sure to use the political atmospherics surrounding the case as grounds for appeal.
One defense witness had his former house vandalized, which might have unsettled some jurors about the implications of an acquittal. The city settled a civil case with Floyd’s relatives that wasn’t shielded from the jury. Trial Judge Peter Cahill said Monday that Rep. Maxine Waters’s weekend call in nearby Brooklyn Center that protesters should get “confrontational” in the event of an acquittal could be grounds for mistrial on appeal.
As the cases move ahead, the politicians and media elites should be calming tempers, not inflaming them. The verdict showed that the legal system isn’t systemically racist, and that a police officer who exceeded his power can be found guilty. The challenge as always is to let police defend the innocent and public order while punishing those who misuse their power. American justice isn’t perfect, but it works.

WASHINGTON — After Republicans spent recent years raising the borrowing limit without conditions, Sen. Rick Scott is pushing the GOP to insist on dollar-for-dollar spending cuts as part of a debt ceiling increase ahead of a July 31 deadline.
The Florida senator's effort could reignite the brinkmanship fight of 2011 that brought the United States to the cusp of default, which experts said would have caused a global financial crisis.
Scott said he's unsure whether his party will go along with it.
"I'm working on it," Scott, who runs the campaign operation for Senate Republicans and has a large say in which candidates get extra funding, said. "I think people agree with me. I think Republicans agree that we have too much debt and that we have to figure out how to live within our means."

Floyd died while Chauvin kneeled on his neck for over nine minutes, long past the time that Floyd was resisting or even a threat, and the jury found Chauvin was directly responsible for the man’s death. Bryant died after being shot multiple times in the process of attempting to stab another person. Yet, both deaths are being blamed on bad policing, regardless of the facts of the case.
Yes, Floyd’s death could absolutely have been avoided. The justice system worked, and Chauvin will be punished for killing Floyd. The officer who shot and killed Bryant is currently off patrol duty while the shooting is being investigated. There is currently not enough evidence to say it was a bad shooting, though. In fact, the video evidence and the 911 call that brought officers to the scene both heavily suggest Bryant was the aggressor and officer made a tragic, but correct, decision that, by the evidence we currently have, saved lives

Top Nevada Republican Found No Evidence of Voter Fraud
==Nevada Secretary of State Barbara Cegavske (R) told the state Republican Party on Wednesday that an investigation had found no “evidentiary support” for its allegations of widespread voter fraud in the 2020 election, CNN reports.
Pentagon Suspects Russian ‘Directed-Energy’ Attacks
Politico:
“The Pentagon has briefed top lawmakers on intelligence surrounding suspected directed-energy attacks against U.S. troops, and officials identified Russia as a likely culprit… The Defense Department had been investigating the incidents, including those targeting its personnel around the world, since last year, according to four former national security officials directly involved in the probe.
“Pentagon officials informed at least two key groups of lawmakers earlier this year, in written form and in-person, about the investigation… The briefings included information about injuries sustained by U.S. troops in Syria.”
U.S. Sees Unprecedented Drop In Vaccinations
Washington Post:
“About 3 million Americans are getting vaccinated daily, an 11 percent decrease in the seven-day average of daily shots administered over the past week. The unprecedented drop is rivaled only by a brief falloff that occurred in February, when winter storms forced the closure of vaccination sites and delayed shipments nationwide.”
Virginia Candidate Says Chauvin Verdict Made Her ‘Sick’
Virginia state Sen. Amanda Chase (R), a prominent candidate for governor, said that the guilty verdict against former Minneapolis police officer Derek Chauvin this week made her “sick” and that jurors didn’t acquit because they feared a violent backlash, the Washington Post reports.
North Dakota Governor Vetoes Transgender Sports Bill
North Dakota Gov. Doug Burgum (R) on Wednesday vetoed a bill restricting transgender girls in K-12 sports, the Bismarck Tribune reports.
The House and Senate could override the governor’s veto with two-thirds majority votes. The House passed the bill with a veto-proof majority; the Senate did not.
AND FROM LAST NIGHT:
Senate GOP Seeks Showdown Over Debt Ceiling
“Senate Republicans on Wednesday signaled they might oppose any future increase to the debt ceiling unless Congress also couples it with comparable federal spending cuts, raising the specter of a political showdown between GOP leaders and the White House this summer,” the Washington Post reports.
“Republican lawmakers staked their position after a private gathering to consider the conference’s operating rules this session, issuing what GOP leaders described later as an important yet symbolic statement in response to the large-scale spending increases proposed by President Biden in recent months.”
Taegan Goddard comments:
"It’s almost like Republicans are daring Democrats to abolish the filibuster."
Not quite four months ago, more than 170 members of Congress objected to counting the Electoral Votes of a free and fair election. Perhaps some of them are dim enough or deluded enough to believe that the votes were illegitimate. But if anything, that’s the best-case scenario. It’s even scarier that some members of this group knew that there was no legitimate reason to object to counting the votes, but voted to overturn the election anyway.
And yet, 12 weeks later, we’re debating corporate tax rates, Dr. Seuss, and trans bathroom access, like nothing ever happened.
American democracy is under attack. And not in a metaphorical, or a philosophical, or a spiritual sense.
Our democracy is under attack, for real, by a large portion of a major political party which seeks to utterly transform the relationship between the government and the governed.
It’s time we start acting like it.

WTF IS WRONG WITH THE GOP??????? I am sure DeSantis has 16 different lines of BULLSHIT that warrants this waste of time and resources to feed red meat to the idiots of the proud boys and oath keepers!!!!!!!!!
New legislation signed by Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis (R) earlier this week increases criminal penalties for crimes committed during protests. DeSantis called it "the strongest anti-looting, anti-rioting, pro-law-enforcement piece of legislation in the country," MSNBC reports, and it may be part of a trend in Republican-led states, The New York Times writes.
One of the most notable aspects of the law is that tearing down monuments, including Confederate ones, is now a second-degree felony offense, meaning anyone who is charged with doing so would face a maximum of 15 years in prison, the Times reports.
On the other hand, the legislation provides some extra protection for people who injure protesters by ramming into them with their car. If protesters block a road, MSNBC notes, Florida drivers who plow their vehicle into them can claim self-defense, giving them civil (as opposed to criminal) liability protection. That "all but [invites] people to commit vehicular homicide," Paul Waldman argued in The Washington Post.

Who was Andrew Brown?
Here’s what we know about Black man fatally shot by NC deputy
Mitchell Willetts, Simone Jasper
Wed, April 21, 2021, 8:28 PM·2 min read
Lydia Brown
Tensions were high in a small North Carolina city on Wednesday after a sheriff’s deputy shot and killed a Black man.
Deputies were executing a search warrant Wednesday morning in Elizabeth City when Andrew Brown Jr. was shot, the Pasquotank County sheriff said.
The sheriff, Tommy Wooten, offered few other details about what happened and said the State Bureau of Investigation is taking the lead.
Protesters gathered in the town Wednesday evening as the city council hosted an emotional emergency meeting.
Here’s what we know so far about Brown.
Andrew Brown Jr. was shot and killed when deputies were executing a search warrant Wednesday morning in Elizabeth City.
A father and friend
Brown was 42 years old, online records show. He was a father of 10, WAVY reported.
Brown’s son, Khalil Ferebee, said his father didn’t own guns, according to the The Virginian-Pilot.
“He wasn’t a violent person,” Daniel Bowser, who said he and Brown were friends for nearly 30 years, told The News & Observer. “He didn’t mess with guns, he didn’t tote no guns.
“I don’t care what they put out there, he didn’t deserve to die.”
A grandson and nephew
Brown’s grandmother, 92-year-old Lydia Brown, told The Associated Press she learned of his death on the news.
“I am upset. Andrew was a good person,” she said. “[The deputy] didn’t have to shoot him like that.”
Clarissa Brown Gibson, his aunt, said she didn’t understand how her nephew’s encounter with deputies cost him his life, the AP reported.
“We want to know if he was served with a warrant, why they shooting over a warrant?”
Another aunt, Martha McCullen, said she raised Brown after the death of his parents.
“The police didn’t have to shoot my baby,” McCullen told the AP. “Andrew Brown was a good person. He was about to get his kids back. He was a good father. Now his kids won’t never see him again.”
‘Beautiful smile, infectious laugh’
Jadine Hampton told the website Heavy that Andrew Brown was her cousin. She said she last saw him in October, during a birthday celebration for a family member.
“We exchanged numbers with hopes of him visiting me in Atlanta once the pandemic lifted,” she sad. “He had a beautiful smile, infectious laugh. A great storyteller like a comedian. A wonderful father, who pushed his kids to be honor roll students even though he never finished school.”
#AndrewBrown
Hours after the shooting, the hashtag #AndrewBrown was being used on Twitter.
Many people noted that Brown’s death came one day after former Minneapolis police officer was convicted of murder in the death of George Floyd, an unarmed Black man — and also one day after police in Columbus, Ohio, shot and killed a 16-year-old Black girl.

The Actual Number of Unarmed Black Men Shot and Killed By Police Every Year Will Blow Liberals’ Minds
Most Americans are convinced there is an “epidemic” of police shooting unarmed black males in America. This widespread misperception is reinforced with misreportage, sensationalized reportage, missing context, and the lack of reporting on analogous cases.
In February, a survey was released that showed how many adults overestimate the number of adult unarmed black males were killed by police officers in 2019 (the last year with full data available). The Skeptic Research Center published the results, which were broken down by political ideology. A chart based on these responses is posted below:(chart)
...
The proportion of arrests for Black or African American suspects compared to the Total of all arrests: 26.6%. This tracks almost perfectly with the odds that a Black or African American suspect is shot by police.
An analysis performed at DataBricks from 2015-2020 further underscores this proportion of fatal police shootings and provides more context:
51% White, 26% Black, 19% Hispanic, 2% Asian, and 2% Native American victims
23% of victims showed signs of mental illness, indicated by on-scene mental health crises or news reports
91% of victims were determined to be armed, with objects ranging from toy weapons to pepper spray to tasers to guns
The Washington Post’s police shooting database further underscores how rare it is that unarmed black males are shot by police officers. Its reported police killings of unarmed black males in 2019 is far below even the 27 reported by Mapping Police Violence. It is a total of 11 — fewer than a dozen cases.
If one sorts the database for the last six years, one finds a total of 129 people shot and killed by police. This is an average of 21 unarmed black males per year out of a population of approximately 20 million

Lisa Christensen sat through every minute of the trial of Derek Chauvin as prosecutors and the defense each made their case in the killing of George Floyd.
She was an alternate juror, so she did not have a role in the verdict, but in an exclusive interview for "CBS This Morning," she said she was happy with the jury's decision to convict Chauvin after weeks of hard testimony. Christensen said she was reluctant to be on the jury when she was first called up.
"I was worried about, you know, whatever the verdict may be if some people felt strongly on one side, other people felt strongly on the other side. So no matter what, I felt like somebody wasn't going to be happy," Christensen told CBS News' Jamie Yuccas.
She was known to the court as juror number 96, and even though she wasn't part of the deliberations, she came to a decision.
"I felt he was guilty. They read the jury instructions to us in the courtroom briefly, but I didn't know it was going to be guilty on all counts but I would have said guilty," Christensen said.
"Why did you think he was guilty? What led you to that belief?" Yuccas asked.
"I just felt like the prosecution made a really good, strong argument. Dr. Tobin was the one that really did it for me. He explained everything. I understood it down to where he said this is the moment that he lost his life, really got to me," she replied.
During the 13 days of sometimes tense and emotional testimony and cross-examination, both the prosecution and defense promised the jury that they were going to prove their case, but Christensen said only one side did.
"So who made an impact with the defense? Good or bad?" Yuccas asked.
"I don't think they had a good impact," Christensen said in reference to Chauvin's defense team.
"I think he over-promised in the beginning and didn't live up to what he said he was going to do," Christensen said.
The prosecution did have a witness that made an impact on Christensen - Darnella Frazier, the teen who filmed the video showing Chauvin pressing his knee into Floyd's neck for more than nine minutes.
"I really felt that she felt guilty for not doing more and she feels responsible in a way, and I feel really bad for her. But I commend her on taking the video because, without her, I don't think this would have been possible," Christensen said.
The nine-and-a-half minute video has been seen worldwide by millions of people, but up until the trial, Christensen hadn't watched it in its entirety. She went from watching pieces of it two or three times on the news to watching the full video several times.
"It was emotional. I think my eyes teared up a couple of times, so especially seeing it from different angles and things," she said.
Christensen said she locked eyes several times with Chauvin during the trial due to seating arrangements. She said she was "pretty uncomfortable" and got another impression of him as she watched the video.
"I felt like he was the leader, and the other officers were following his lead. I kind of felt like he wasn't taking the warnings seriously, obviously, kind of like I know what I'm doing," Christensen said.
Christensen and another alternate juror were excused after Judge Peter Cahill sent the jurors to deliberate. Two days later, and after more than 10 hours of deliberation, Chauvin was found guilty of unintentional second-degree murder, third-degree murder, and second-degree manslaughter in George Floyd's death. He faces decades in prison and will be sentenced by Judge Cahill in about eight weeks.
While the trial may be over, Christensen said it will have an impact on her a while.
"I just don't understand how it got from a counterfeit 20 dollar bill to a death. It kind of shocks me," she said.

Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot is considering requiring police officers to get a supervisor’s permission before beginning a foot chase, says she’ll announce new policy “soon” - WFLD
She's doing such a fine job she will probably also require it be in writing.
I guess if police can't be at potential scenes there will be less police shootings. And pile more of dead bodies.

California's coronavirus case rate is now the lowest in the continental U.S., an achievement that reflects months of hard-won progress against the pandemic in the aftermath of the state's devastating fall and winter surge.

On Sunday night, Vanity Fair revealed that Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY), who was trained as a medical doctor and ophthalmologist, is not board certified. With this news, Paul still maintains more current medical credentials than White House Coronavirus Task Force Member Dr. Deborah Birx
...
Rand is a licensed MD in the state of Kentucky and has always kept that current.
...
Paul actually has more current medical credentials than Birx as he can still legally practice medicine. Paul’s office notes that there is a large and fundamental difference between licensure, which permits an individual to legally practice medicine, and board certification, which applies to specific specialties.

Roger Amadick was dead sure it was Rush Limbaugh, now , after being corrected he sure it was not.
Proving again Roger is always Spectacularly wrong.
We must face the hard truth that Chauvin is more of a symptom than a cause of policing’s problem.
To end this cycle of traumatic police violence, we have to recognize that we have turned policing into an impossible endeavor — one that underprotects communities even as it needlessly provokes conflict. It is not realistic, and perhaps not even reasonable, to expect that police will ever be able to carry out the multiple, often conflicting tasks we’ve given them in a manner that is consistently lawful, ethical and effective. Holding individual officers accountable for their actions, and investigating departments to remedy systemic misconduct, are part of the solution, but we must also continue to reimagine safety and the role police play in helping to achieve it.

Russia’s Brain Drain Soars as Scientists Flee
“The number of scientists who emigrate from Russia every year has increased five-fold since President Putin returned to the presidency in 2012,” the Times of London reports.
Said Nikolai Dolgushkin, an official at the country’s Academy of Sciences:
“Russia is the only developed country where the number of scientists has been decreasing for several decades in a row.”
India’s Descent Into Covid Hell
The Guardian:
“The country has descended into a tragedy of unprecedented proportions. Almost 1.6 million cases have been registered in a week, bringing total cases to more than 15 million. In the space of just 12 days, the Covid positivity rate doubled to 17%, while in Delhi it hit 30%.
"Hospitals across the country have filled to capacity but this time it is predominately the young taking up the beds; in Delhi, 65% of cases are under 40 years old.
“While the unprecedented spread of the virus has been partly blamed on a more contagious variant that has emerged in India, Modi’s government has also been accused of failures of political leadership from the top, with lax attitudes emulated by state and local leaders from all parties and even health officials across the country, which led many to falsely believe in recent months that India had defeated Covid.”

Pretty sure that was the guy getting advice from the task force leader who said it was no big deal and Americans didn't have to worry, masks weren't necessary, we didn't need to stop flights from China, China was transparent this time, lockdowns would be for 15 days etc etc.
I think that guys name was something like Fauci.
ROFLMFAO at your GODdard's stupidity.
BWAAAAAAAAAAA!!!! Paul is a frigging joke!!!!!!
In 1995, Paul was certified to practice by the American Board of Ophthalmology (ABO).[26] In 1992, the ABO changed its certification program, which had previously awarded lifetime certifications, now required ophthalmologists to recertify every 10 years. Those who had already been given lifetime certification were not required to recertify. Paul felt this was unfair and began an aggressive campaign to have all ophthalmologists recertify every ten years. In 1997 he set up the National Board of Ophthalmology (NBO) to offer an alternative certification system, at a cost substantially lower than that of the ABO.[27][28][29] Its certification exam, an open book take-home test that Paul helped write, was described by one taker as "probably harder" and "more clinically relevant" than the ABO's exam.[27] Paul appointed his own family members to the board of directors and registered the Board to an incorrect address.[27]
Named board members were Paul, his wife, and his father-in-law.[30] The NBO was, itself, never accepted as an accrediting entity by organizations such as the American Board of Medical Specialties,[20] and its certification was considered invalid by many hospitals and insurance companies. Paul let his own ABO certification lapse in 2005, which did not affect his practice in Kentucky; the state does not require board certification. By Paul's estimate, about 50 or 60 doctors were certified by the NBO.[27] The NBO was incorporated in 1999, but Paul allowed it to be dissolved in 2000 when he did not file the required paperwork with the Kentucky Secretary of State's office. He later recreated the board in 2005, but it was again dissolved in 2011.[31]

So now you say it had nothing to do with weather (opposite than before) and cases dropped sharply when restrictions eased.
I guess it follows that restrictions were hurting
I suspect the Trump vaccines helped, especially for the elderly and obese.
But regardless make sure you stay in your room.
Makes the whole world safer.
And be sure to study up on your encyclopedia.

In their report on the officer-involved shooting in Columbus, Ohio, NBC Nightly News deceptively edited the 911 call to leave out the part where the caller says a girl was "trying to stab us." They also don't show viewers the knife in the attacker's hand just before the shots.

LeBron James, like other elites, is using racial division as a distraction as elites reshape America to be more like communist China. Elites prefer communism. Millionaire elites are protected by communism. They're the "Talented Tenth" W.E.B. Du Bois promoted. You're being played.
Lebron is definitely super rich.

Why Alexei Navalny Went Back
Anne Applebaum
in The Atlantic:
“When Alexei Navalny boarded a plane to Moscow on January 17, he turned his life into a metaphor. He knew it, his wife knew it, and everybody else on the plane knew it. So did the millions of people who had watched his documentary videos, who had seen the witty interviews he did on the plane, who have since joined demonstrations in his name. So did the leaders of Russia, including the country’s dictator and president, Vladimir Putin. This, Navalny was telling all of them, is what courage looks like.”
And in this country, Republicans are afraid to stand up to would be dictator Trump who is hell bent on destroying our country for the sake of the rich.
see this:

“For the GOP, Trump is like a fire, too close and you get burned, too far away and you are out in the cold.”

Biden to Raise Taxes on Rich to Fund Child Care, Education
“The next phase of President Biden’s $4 trillion push to overhaul the American economy will raise taxes on millionaire investors to fund education and other spending plans, but it will not take steps to expand health coverage or reduce prescription drug prices,” the New York Times reports.
“Administration officials had planned to include a health care expansion of up to $700 billion, offset by efforts to reduce government spending on prescription drugs. But they have decided to instead pursue health care as a separate initiative.
“All of the tax provisions would keep with Mr. Biden’s campaign promise not to raise taxes on individuals or households earning less than $400,000 a year.”

No proof was ever offered that Chauvin’s knee killed George Floyd, because no such proof could ever be offered. The very notion was ridiculous. Floyd died from a lifetime of health-destroying decisions coupled with the lethal amount of drugs in his system. If Floyd hadn’t died on camera, nothing would have happened. Instead, for political expediency, Chauvin was made into a human sacrifice. He was disowned by the state he served and the public he protected.
Chauvin was never going to receive a fair trial.
