This speaks VOLUMES about the occupants of CHAZ and their political beliefs.

I'm just glad body wash is on the list.

What's the good kind of ice?

I wonder how they feed themselves.

But Gordon, people will make those things out of the goodness of their heart, we don't need capitalism to make the stuff we need.

CHAZ is an example of why you don't let your door dash delivery person, uber driver and sound cloud rapper run a country.

They aren't anarchists. In less than 24 hours they colonized a land that didn't belong to them, built a border wall, armed border patrol agents, instituted a system of self-appointed martial law through a local warlord + their bodyguards and ran out of food because they didn't understand the tragedy of the commons and then applied for foreign aid begging for vegan meat substitute. They are socialist totalitarians.

I don't understand his statement at all. It's all over the map.

A "news outlet" finally points out that police unions suck.

This is key because the Dem base is driving the protests and calling for reform, but the Dem base is also pro-union.

Acknowledging the role unions play in keeping bad cops employed also admits that maybe unions aren't awesome.

I do wonder if there's a way to make police unions not suck. Honestly, maybe most of them don't. You only hear the stories of the ones that suck, and man do they suck.

No, they all suck. Unions suck period. They have their good points of protecting jobs, pay, benefits, etc. However, the corruption and the protection of people who should be fired is not worth it.

Every single person who has died from George Floyd to the latest death is ALL because a union defended that violent cop 18 fucking times.

Incident at a protest in New Mexico.

This is interesting to me for a number of reasons:
1. I was in New Mexico for three years. You know what I don't think I saw once? A black person not in the military.
2. They were tearing down a statue of a Spanish conquistador. This isn't a BLM thing, this is a HLM protest.
3. A militia group was guarding the statue? Why? Are they descendants of the guy?

An Australian commentary on the MSM and the protests. I don't agree with everything she says here, and some of it is local to Australia, but she makes some solid points too.
