Political Discussion

And now, back to more of the same:

Two former government officials who may now run President-elect Joe Biden’s national security team have been partners at a private equity firm now promising investors big profits off government business because of its ties to those officials, according to government documents reviewed by The Daily Poster.

“The reputations and networks of Pine Island Capital Partners’ team, both individually and collectively, will ensure exposure to a significant number of proprietary opportunities,” the company said in one SEC document. “We believe there will be increased demand in the U.S. defense market for advanced electronics, communications, sensor and detection processing and other technologies that enhance the modernization efforts of the Department of Defense’s military readiness. We believe this demand represents strong growth that our management team is uniquely positioned to capitalize on given our combined investment experience and deeply connected partner group of former U.S. defense and government officials.”

"This is so explicit that it's astonishing Pine Island even put it on paper,” said David Segal of Demand Progress, a grassroots group pressing Biden to reject Cabinet appointments tied to corporations. “This is not an example of people who happen to work at a big company — these are partners at a firm whose stated business model is to profit from the revolving door and connections gained from time in government."

This is going to pay off very very poorly for dems in 2022 and 2024.
 



Kyle Rittenhouse is a clear example of "innocent until proven guilty". Many people from the right, likely all white are giving him the benefit of the doubt and believe there is enough evidence to prove he acted in selfdefense and came to his aid helping to fund his bail.

Meanwhile, black people under just allogations of theft are stuck in jail until their trial because they can't afford bail. One example recently giving in comparison to Rittenhouse is a guy who spent 3 years in jail over the allegations of a backpack. 2 of those years were spent in solitary confinement.

The author of the article has his own experience. Back in the 90's he was dropping of a backpack full of film to develop. When he left the store the antitheft system sounded. A pack of batteries he had previously purchased set it off. He had the receipt, but under pressure he wasn't able to immediately produce it. He was called into a back room and asked to sign a document admitting guilt and containing something about trespassing. He was only given the option to immediately produce the receipt or sign the document. He asked them to check surveillance video and it would prove his innocence. They didn't even entertain the idea. And when he would not sign the document because he didn't steal anything the police were called and he was arrested.

More than 5 hours later when his mom was able to make the drive to the police station and bail him out he was able to find the receipt right away. Charges were dropped. He was treated like he was guilty until proven innocent. They filed a lawsuit against the store. But they would not admit to any wrong doing and fought the lawsuit all the way saying they did no wrong and had probable cause.

It's eye opening seeing how the experience of black people is so different than white people. That they are not given any benefit of doubt and are presumed guilty until proven innocent.
FYI, the author of this article is a woman.

LOL, its so cute how Rudy is playing big time court lawyer in a Hyatt banquet hall. Today's theme "The Hearing" :ROFLMAO:
It's scary how Trump supporters think these are legitimate legal proceedings. Most hearings have sworn in witnesses that are able to be cross examined. Plus, they take place in a courtroom and not 10 feet from a continental breakfast.

Also, not sure if they made National news but the PA State Senator/Trump bootlicker Doug Mastriano who put on the PA "hearing" tested positive for COVID. He was apparently at the White House in a meeting with Trump when he got the news.

(Roll the footage of that packed tiny conference room with no masks)
 
Nope, not getting embarrassing for Trump supports at all yet.

The ones in my family who went down the rabbit hole still believe Trump won by a landslide and tell me to watch as this all plays out. :rolleyes:
So all the times that your dad has said that something will be revealed on a certain day or week, does he ever admit that he was wrong? Or just say to keep waiting?
