And here I thought I had heard the most ridiculous things I could ever imagine by now.
Oh silly me!
Marianne 2020 - Tomorrow For A Better Tomorrow...or Something. |
"Marianne Williamson, as President, will work with the Congress to create a cabinet-level U.S. Department of Peace. Ending the scourge of violence in the United States and across the planet requires more than suppressing violence. Lasting peace requires its active and systematized cultivation at every level of government and society. The U.S. Department of Peace will coordinate and spur the efforts we need to make our country and the world a safer place. Nothing short of broad-scale investment and government reorientation can truly turn things around."And she even worked up a sweet logo:
"Both domestically and internationally, we must dramatically ramp up the use of proven powers of peace-building, including dialogue, mediation, conflict resolution, economic and social development, restorative justice, public health approaches to violence prevention, trauma-informed systems of care, social and emotional learning in schools, and many others."So under a President Williamson administration we are going to use mediation to take out the terrorists? I told you she is entertaining.
"As its mission, the U.S. Department of Peace will; hold peace as an organizing principle; promote justice and democratic principles to expand human rights; coordinate restorative justice programs; address white supremacy; strengthen nonmilitary means of peacemaking; work to prevent armed conflict; address the epidemic of gun violence; develop new structures of nonviolent dispute resolution; and proactively and systematically promote national and international conflict prevention, mediation, and resolution. In short, we must wage peace."Someone should let her know that cracking down on gun ownership and whiteness are the exact opposite things as expanding human rights. I realize that I’m not a granola-eating crystal-gazer, but I don’t actually see how it’s possible to “address” all of these issues without extreme violence from an oppressive government. People are kinda attached to their 1st and 2nd Amendment rights and aren’t going to surrender them without a fight. It’s hard to disarm people using meditation and positive psychic energy.
"The Secretary of Peace will serve as a member of the National Security Council and will be empowered to coordinate with all Cabinet agencies – including the Departments of Agriculture, Defense, Education, Justice, and State, and the new Department of Children and Youth."Wait. The Department of Children and Youth?
"The Department will create and establish a Peace Academy, modeled after the military service academies, which will provide a 4-year concentration in peace education. Graduates will be required to serve 5 years in public service in programs dedicated to domestic or international nonviolent conflict resolution."Nine years is an awful lot to ask from someone to be a positive psychic energy warrior, even from the soyest of boys. As far as I can tell, Williamson plans on a massive expansion of the federal government to force everyone to be a touchy feely space cadet just like her. I wonder if dissenters will be sent to a “re-education” camps.
The Hill - Police in Charlotte, N.C., are investigating after a threatening letter was sent to numerous lawmakers of color in the city, including Charlotte Mayor Vi Lyles (D) . City officials told The Hill that African American members of Charlotte's city council received a letter filled with racist remarks, advocating that the lawmakers, all of whom are Democrats, be "tarred and feathered and run out of town."
The letters, which made numerous references to the lawmakers' ethnicities, were also sent to Councilwoman Dimple Ajmera (D), who is of Indian descent, according to a city spokesperson.
Among the topics in the letter, the author expressed praise for President Trump's recent tweets aimed at four minority congresswomen that urged them to "go back" to other countries."I do believe you need to go back to where you came from if you don't BEGIN to show this great country some RESPECT and HONOR," the letter read. "We'll round you up and send you screaming to the concentration camps where you belong," it continued.It wouldn't surprise me at all if this turns out to be the act of a failed journalist, or out of work Black Studies major. Hoax or not, there's no need at all for this kinda crap!
"Silencing me & treating me like a criminal is not what she wants for me. It would kill a piece of me. I have decided that visiting my grandmother under these oppressive conditions stands against everything I believe in–fighting against racism, oppression & injustice."Israeli Interior Minister Aryeh Deri only agreed to allow Omar into Israel after she agreed to his request that she not "promote boycotts against Israel during her visit." The request was made because of both her support for the anti-Semitic Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions movement, as well the fact that her and Omar’s visit to Israel was to be funded by a group whose members "have expressed support for terrorism against Israel."
"I approved her request as a gesture of goodwill on a humanitarian basis, but it was just a provocative request, aimed at bashing the State of Israel. Apparently her hate for Israel overcomes her love for her grandmother."She's an absolute embarrassment to America an the United States Congress. May camel turds be upon you.....
Beto O’Rourke introduced himself to the country as a changed candidate on Thursday, with his presidential campaign recast as a moral crusade against President Trump in the aftermath of a mass shooting in El Paso, his hometown.
Mr. O’Rourke... said he would abandon the relatively traditional approach he has so far taken — with limited success...
Instead, Mr. O’Rourke said he would now plan his political activities around confronting Mr. Trump in direct and personal terms, and highlighting what Mr. O’Rourke views as the injustices of Mr. Trump’s administration.Here's a clip of his speech this morning. At first I thought it was a deepfake -- there's a creepy "uncanny valley" effect, where he looks almost human but not quite -- but then I remembered that Beto really does talk like this.

"This is our country. And our voices will be heard, and in 2020, we will shout louder and harder and more than we ever have before, because this is our time and the power is ours and we will not let anyone take it from us.”Who is this 'we' she speaks of??
