  1. 8-4 Not Guilty. That’s huge. Evidence didn’t add up. They got the wrong person. He didn’t do it. Find the real killer. #AJArmstrong

  2. It’s about time. Evidence doesn’t add up. They got the wrong person. He didn’t do it. He didn’t have time to grieve for his parents. So wrong. 3 times the jury told judge they were deadlocked and Judge Kelli Johnson KEPT sending them back to deliberate. She was trying to force a verdict. No gun residue, no DNA, a note left at the business while the boy was in JAIL. This is how they railroad young Black boys but somebody wouldn’t let it happen. Police didn’t properly investigate.

    A little refresher for my fam here.. While the treasonous buffoon was actively inciting hate and death threats against the historic black couple and their 2 then minor daughters, some of your fave opportunists were soliciting and receiving campaign donations from him and his kkklan..

    #NEVERFORGET.

    “..In 2011 and again in 2013, Trump donated a total of $6,000 to Harris’ campaign for California attorney general. His daughter, Ivanka, also gave Harris $2,000 in 2014.

    The first donation from Trump, for $5,000 in September 2011, came months after he had begun popping up on cable news promoting a conspiracy theory that President Barack Obama was born in Kenya, not the United States, something that’s been widely condemned as racist.

    Harris campaign spokesman Ian Sams told McClatchy that Harris donated the $6,000 Trump had contributed to a non-profit that advocates for civil and human rights for Central Americans. But that donation wasn’t made until 2015, a year after she won her reelection for attorney general and as she was launching her run for the Senate.

    Clinton raised thousands from Trump and his family when she was New York senator and then in her 2008 presidential run.

    Current New York Senator and 2020 presidential candidate Kirsten Gillibrand has raised nearly $10,000 from Trump, Ivanka and a son, Donald Trump Jr., since 2007. Ivanka Trump has also given more than $10,000 to New Jersey Sen. Cory Booker, another 2020 contender, in recent years.

    Questioned about his donations to Democrats during a Republican primary debate in 2015, Trump explained his bipartisan political giving as just the price of doing business. “I give to to everybody,” he said. “They call, I give. And you know what, when I need something from them two years later, three years later, I call them, they are there for me.”

      But it’s not just the Bernie folks attacking Symone Sanders.. The Harris people are also viciously attacking her … as are the PUMAs who’ve now split their support between candidates..

      Same folks who’ve also since mostly tried to mute, marginalize and sideline Stacey Abrams ever since she was touted as Biden’s preferred VP pick..

      Same folks who’re now touting their candidate as best VP (diversity) option on a Biden ticket …even as they simultaneously try to torpedo Biden’s candidacy.. and continue to try to push Stacey into a senatorial run …LOL

      Most of these candidates and their ‘teams’ are up to no good …it’s all vicious shenanigans of undermine and sabotage .. no clean hands..

    What foolishness is this?😠😠😠

    From USA TODAY

    Kamala Harris owns a handgun. That’s disqualifying for a 2020 Democrat in my book. Harris, a former DA, apparently thinks it’s fine to own a handgun for personal safety. That’s a position held by the NRA, not progressive Democrats.

    https://www.usatoday.com/story/opinion/2019/04/26/kamala-harris-owns-handgun-unacceptable-2020-democratic-race-column/3567371002/

  9. The Justice Department refused to seek justice for police killings of unarmed Black people, like Black ppl aren’t citizens of this country & God has allowed them to destroy themselves. Checks & Balances gone. Rule of law gone. We’re in a Constitutional Crisis now. #MuellersReport

      Rod, good pal of Kavanaugh and both Ken Starr acolytes, is part and parcel of, and so well-versed in the craven, callous, power-hungry, opportunistic GOP federalist neocon racket that’s done their share of decimating our democracy and fragile union..

      Rod as was pre-told, will do and say anything to self-preserve and self-advance..

    • eliihass says:

      Yeah, but Van Jones says that’s fake news… Van and the Kardashian girl and murderous Saudi prince buddy Jared have gotten the treasonous buffoon to permanently erase incarcerations.. or haven’t you heard..

      Prisons are now a thing of the past.. and those who make a profit off it have now been permanently put out of business by the benevolent 4: Van the fork tongued opportunist, looking for the next reality show plot line Kardashian chick, Saudi-owned indentured servant Jared …and the treasonous buffoon corrupting and autonomously wielding sacred instruments of American democracy strictly as bargaining chips to self-enrich, ego-massage, personal favors …

      Meanwhile, Van Jones has hustled himself yet another CNN gig.. now that he’s magically helped end incarcerations, Van is now helping heal the world through redemption …by bringing victims and villains together..

    Bernie Sanders brought his lazy ass to a black women’s forum and didn’t have ONE policy to help black women.

    When asked what has he done for us?

    That bitch said, “I voted for Jesse Jackson,” a MAN.

    How the fuck did that help WOMEN?

    2020 is going to be all about culture wars. Republicans can’t win on policy so this is what they will do.

    The challenge with Kamala Harris is that they will say she’s trying to turn the rest of the country into liberal California.

    Needs a VP from the midwest. https://t.co/gyc7DB26tL https://twitter.com/notcapnamerica/status/1121812940049592322?s=17

    Why won’t AG Barr charge a terrorist caught plotting to kill Trump critics?

    The judge has “grave concerns” about Hasson, who planned to kill Nancy Pelosi, Democratic presidential candidates, and other Trump critics. But Barr refuses to bring charges. https://t.co/kcvk010zko https://twitter.com/JoeNBC/status/1121563086874447872?s=17

    So, Trump thinks racist, slave-owning Robert E. Lee, who lead the confed army to crushing defeat, was a great general.

    And, he thinks racist, slave-owning Andrew Jackson, whose “Indian removal program” eventually lead to the Trail of Tears, was a great prez.

      I wrote a while back that the goal for twitter & other social media platforms is to get black folks off those sights. They don’t want us to have a voice.

      More Black folks use twitter than any other platform, and that is why Jack Dorsey is raking in the $$$$, all these years. Now that the white trashy, POS fake 45 thugging, racists liar is using it…

      Well….
