Mike Bloomberg is a Republican who has a history of financially backing and supporting other Republicans. Over Democrats.
Mike Bloomberg is a racist Republican who supported the NYPD’s racial profiling (aka Stop-And-Frisk), and was quoted as saying, “The NYPD stops whites too much and minorities too little.” And he unapologetically maintained that view until as recently as 2018 January of 2019.
The Democratic Party has successfully been infiltrated by Republicans. So please—especially during the primaries—I really don’t wanna hear “Vote Blue No Matter Who” and I really don’t wanna hear how completely valid criticisms of primary candidates is some kind of unreasonable “purity” test.
I get to have standards. I don’t have to blindly praise and accept whoever the DNC and their centrist media outlet, MSNBC, throws in front of me as the “most electable” candidate. I’m black. I want Trump out of the White House as much as anyone. But forgive me if I also don’t want a Republican or a GOP-lite candidate in the White House.
So when progressives criticize centrist candidates like Pete Buttigieg and Mike Bloomberg, it’s not anybody’s job to suggest that we need to stfu, stop being “divisive” and just tow the party line. At least not now. Not in the middle of the primaries.
Look, there’s an old saying that Republicans fall in line, and Democrats fall in love. Meaning that Republicans had the necessary discipline to get behind whoever their candidate was, but Democrats had to love their nominee first. And ever since the 2016 election, what I’m seeing is centrists trying to force Democratic voters to “fall in line” and swear allegiance to anyone half an inch better than Trump, even before the primaries had started. Like I said earlier, the Democratic Party has been infiltrated by Republicans. And now they want their voters to behave like Republican voters, who will blindly support even the worst candidates.
Not sorry, but I do not support Peter Buttigieg. I do not support Mike Bloomberg. I do not support Republicans or GOP-lite candidates. I have higher standards. And at this moment in time, while the primaries are ongoing, I still have much better options than “moderates” like Booker, Harris, Buttigieg and Bloomberg.
Isn’t this considered fraud? Isn’t ICE literally breaking the law?
Abolish ICE.
For anyone who cares. Students pay fees of upwards of $3,000 to apply for temporary student visas as well. (I was on one). It’s a stressful legal process and most people are advised to have a lawyer to even attempt it.
They baited people to try to immigrate LEGALLY and set them up to break the law completely unknowingly. There is no way these kids could have even known they were breaking the law. And then deported them likely with perminant criminal records.
Don’t forget the students paid tuition
Isn’t that entrapment? What they did sounds highly illegal on a lot of levels
ICE is racist and needs to be abolished immediately. The people who are carrying out these anti-immigrant policies should be held to account for their crimes.
The statue of Ramesses VIII is an example of hasty workmanship. It lacks vigor. One of the few statues that survive from the Ramesside Period, it demonstrates that the great era of creativity had ended.
The face of the statue is heavy with a troubled expression devoid of interior strength. The wig, a vestige of 19th Dynasty style, is composed of parallel stripes that form a kind of visor over the brow, which is adorned with the uraeus, or royal cobra. The wig falls in unusually long locks onto the collar bones, which are not marked. The widely pleated kilt is decorated with a heavy front panel.
The god Amun holds the Was scepter, symbol of prosperity and well being, in his left hand and the Ankh, sign of life, in his right. The god’s high headdress is only just recognizable and the pleats of his kilt have not been marked.
New Kingdom, 20th Dynasty, reign of Ramesses VIII, ca. 1130-1129 BC. Basalt. Now in the Egyptian Museum, Cairo. JE 37595
