That really is one of your most oblivious arguments yet.
Even the link you provided shows your argument is wrong. Did you read it?
It's because he doesn't do the 'the next FDR'-like things he promised.
First of all, the Democrats will never be able to unite both sides. The Republicans have nothing to offer, other than division, so they will fight every elected Democrat, even if they elect a right-winger like Joe Manchin for president. The Democrats know that, but they use the idea of 'uniting America' to screw over their voters, for their donors.
If Joe Biden was actually so different from Joe Manchin, why doesn't he oppose his good friend some more? Because Joe Biden agrees with Joe Manchin and he is using him as a reason for not having to do anything he promised. He got the votes and now he can screw his voters. Black people see that he doesn't do anything for them, BECAUSE HE IS THE 'GREAT UNITER' and that's why they stop supporting him.
It would be a blessing if the black people of this country would wake up to be used for votes.
Don't you think they care about Biden not succeeding on voter rights?

These are policies supported by black people.
No Republican supports them. Why would black people want a 'unifier'?
Nearly a year in, Black people aren’t sold on Biden — but they haven’t given up, either

He wasn't the guy they were looking for and had a clean criminal record. He was just staying over and sleeping on the couch. He was carrying a gun, but he had a concealed carry permit for that. The police entered the house, saw him, probably also saw the gun and killed him within 10 seconds after entering.
Clearly the second amendment only applies to white people.
Well there's a reason for the death sentence, if I ever heard one.
Why wasn't Amir at home? Why was he somewhere else sleeping in a criminals house?
Do you ask all these questions when a white guy gets killed by the police?
Why not hold this principle: unless the victim was pointing a gun at someone,
them being killed is unacceptable.
Why do you always defend the killer?
Are you pro-life or pro-killing?
I am not defending anything. Simply trying to shed a different light on it than the liberal mindset that thinks everyone is a victim.
The police had no reason to do that. A no-knock warrant should only be used for the most dangerous criminals. They knew this was not even the house of the suspect they were actually searching for. If the police wants to question associates of a suspect, they should not carry out a home assault. They should just knock on the door and ask to open it. That is safer for them as well. Your cops are just blood thirsty amateurs, that's the problem.
By attacking the victim, you ARE protecting the police.
The same as attacking a r*a*p*e* victim for wearing a skirt, is defending a rapist.
They didn't smash the door, they had a key. Watch the video.
He was dead within 10 seconds, still wrapped up in his blanket.
They slowed down the video to 1/3 so people can even follow what happens.
What would you do, if your are sleeping and people enter your house?
Seeing your icon, you would probably pick up a gun.
If you're ever suspected of anything, you're dead meat.
Oh, no, off course not, you're white. The police will ring your doorbell,
wait patiently until you open and politely ask you to come with them.
Not so long a go, a black guy was gunned down by the cops, while entering his own house, holding a sandwich. Meanwhile white people can walk around with an AR-15 and don't get shot. They even want to bring their guns to a schoolyard.
So they should be trusted to not be a school shooter, because they are white,
while a black guy is killed in his own yard, for holding a sandwich.

If you call a (black) CRIMINAL a 'nigga', I don't care much, but this guy was clean as a whistle. It's just your prejudice that makes you do that.
You didn't answer my question.DO you randomly sleep on someone's couch not knowing anything about them??
And your idea of "protecting the police" Wrong. We know we have bad apples. and finding fault with the victim is useful in prevention of future issues.
Wearing a skirt to short, prompts a man to do something bad, gee perhaps I should dress more modestly. I don't want to get shot in a ghetto apartment being mistaken for a criminal, perhaps I need to get to know the person living here first?
After investigation of the news, I found that Amir Locke was staying over with family. His cousin is a murder suspect; Mekhi Camden Speed, age 17, who lived with his mother in apartment 1402. Mekhi Speed’s brother, Marlon Cornelius Speed (age 23), lives in apartment 701 and was there on the night Locke was killed. The police had search warrants for apartment 701, 1402 and 1403. Amir was killed in apartment 1403. I cannot find anything about the owner of apartment 1403. Articles only claim that one of Speed’s friends frequented apartment 1403.
There is information why Amir Locke was staying over with family. He was ready to move from Minneapolis to Dallas. When people are clearing out their old home, they sometimes stay over with family. Would I stay over with a cousin who is a suspect in a murder case? Hell no! But, who knows how much he knew about that and how much choice he had. We can speculate, but in any case Amir Locke was not in any way suspect for anything connected with his cousins.
A SWAT team that is going to search 3 apartments, for suspects and associates should expect innocent people at the scene. Sometimes also innocent people carry guns. But the US police is trained to shoot at targets with a gun. They are not trained to take any risk, which they could and should do, because they are covered in body armor.
In my opinion your police is trained to be cowards. Our police is trained to arrest everyone alive, even bank robbers who shoot at them. We had a big robbery of a money transport car getting super violent and the police only shot one of them. The killers of Peter R. de Vries were also arrested alive. The Netherlands has a lot of organized crime, the police is fighting hard against it, but we only have on average 4 police shooting victims per year.
'I don't want to get shot in a ghetto apartment'
Google 'Bolero Flats Minneapolis'. That's not a ghetto. Prejudice?
"finding fault with the victim is useful in prevention of future issues"
It just looks like you will find fault for every victim. In this case the victim's family is definitely criminal. Nice, you find something to blame the victim on, for his death. It's like I'm hearing Trump "We shouldn't just kill the criminals, we should kill the family of the criminals."
"Wearing a skirt to short, prompts a man to do something bad"
So according to you, personal responsibility is only for the victim.
That really is a key element of the right-wing mindset.
So, I'm not completely disagreeing with your point.
But if they get mugged, I still fully blame the robber.
Sadly crooks are drawn to the strangest things and justify it in even stranger ways. "He has it,I don't,I want it" way of thinking. If you have a 50,000 $ rolex on your arm,I figure you probably earned the money for the monthly payments or it was a gift,regardless of how it got on your arm,it's not mine unless you give it to me or we make a deal or something.
and in response to this,
"We don't know, because they never investigate (enough)."
I agree there is issues with investigations when the fox guards the henhouse.
Well he looked down at my silver chain
He said "I'll give you one dollar"
I said you've got to be jokin' man
It was a present from me mother
He said "I like it, I want it
I'll take it off your hands
And you'll be sorry you crossed me
You'd better understand that you're alone
A long way from home
Now it's in my head the rest of the day
If you were told as a child, “Careful of the company you keep.”, I very much, doubt you would know what that meant. I also believe all these negative comments about the actions the victim (Yes, the victim. He was not the, or even a, criminal) took, would not be happening if he had been white. What is coming through is, “Fuck it. It’s only a N***gr. No big deal. I know you guys don’t mean it in a racist way. Ha, and the Moon is made of cheese.
That's true, an alarming spike indeed:

Do you know why? COVID-19!
only registered users can see external links
"The vast majority of deaths -- 301 -- were due to COVID-19, according to the report, the second year in a row COVID-19 was the leading cause of line-of-duty deaths. The vaccination status of the 301 officers who died is not known."
But a lot of them are right-wingers and don't want to vaccinate.
According to preliminary year-end data provided to CNN by the FBI,
73 officers died in felonious killings in the line of duty in 2021.
The police killed 1,134 people in the US in 2021.
That is 1 stat in a million. How many of those people were endangering someone else? How many were attempting to harm the officers?
Once those figures are out there,you will find the number that were killed by accident or "for no reason " will be a small % of that stat you posted.
I will not sit here and try to convince anyone that all cops are good. They aint.
The total number of arrests for all offenses in the United States in 2020
(no 2021 data) was 7.6 million. So the police kills their detainees in a rate of 1:6700. If you look at it that way, your chances of surviving arrest are not too bad, but not '1 stat in a million'.
Just like me, you have no idea how many of those killings were just. I'm sure I wouldn't grieve much about a lot of them, but still way too many (the ones that come in the news) were unnecessary.
It's like with work accidents; my aim is zero. You think that is not possible.
That's not a 'can do' attitude. In my professional life, I might be a bit lazy,
but I always have the 'can do' attitude; problems are meant to be solved.
When right-wingers stop making those broken arguments,
I don't have to correct them.
Maybe he decided it would be better to hide in his basement again, because saying stuff only makes him less popular. It was a good strategy before the elections.
Here are some things that I like. It's copy-pasted, but I agree with them:
- Mr Biden was able to achieve some early successes, passing a $1.9tn pandemic relief bill in March.
- He also got the US to rejoin the Paris Climate Agreement
- Delivered 100 million jabs for 50 million people in 100 days
- Reversed the ban on transgender people in the military.
- Despite opposition from Republicans and a fractured Democratic caucus, he managed to pass a $1tn infrastructure bill in November.
- A longer term accomplishment may be his prolific appointment of judges. He has named more in his first year than any president since Ronald Reagan.
(I don't care much about that he reversed the ban on transgender people in the military, but some Democrats care, so it's an easy victory, that doesn't upset their donors. Actually, if the Republicans give you a reason to not fight in their stupid wars, take it. Wear a dress and be free lol)
He should do a whole lot more, if he wants Dems to win the mid terms.
If he doesn't, the only chance the Democrats have, is the chaos Trump is causing in his party.
But, maybe the Democrats don't even want to win, because their donors don't want them to do anything good for the people. Letting the Republicans win, gives them plausible deniability to suck just as much as the Republicans and then blame the Republicans. That gives them a shot again in 2024 and takes the pressure off Manchin and Sinema, who are just playing bad cop for the corrupt establishment. Democrats have to walk a fine line, because their base isn't cucked to the rich, as much as the Republican base (yet).
You know almost a million people died, right?
--------------------------------------- added after 22 minutes
BTW, almost 1M deaths from Covid? I have it from a reliable source (Phart) that’s fake news from the libertads to make conservatives wear masks and wreck the economy
That's basing the idea that more police officers are being killed by violence, based on data that contains law enforcement officer fatalities of all sorts, not only murdered law enforcement officers. So that's wrong.
It is official police data that 301 of the 458 police deaths were due to COVID-19. So 157 police deaths were due to other causes than COVID-19, of which 73 officers died in felonious killings. That means 84 officers died of other causes than COVID-19 or felonious killings, like traffic accidents.
Statistical data is apolitical. In the organizations that collect and provide that data to the public, people work of any political affiliation.
If you don't trust that data, than what information do you trust?
So what reason would the libtards have to make conservatives wear masks? First of all, it didn't work, because most of them don't. Second, if the libtards wear masks themselves, what would be the diabolical plan behind wearing masks?
And why would they want to wreck the economy? Do their voters like that? Do their corporate donors like that?
I was a little surprised it came from you though.
You are saying laughably crazy things repeatedly,
but they are often your actual opinions.
But I can predict your answer; you think that of me too.
So what reason could they have for mask mandates, vaccination mandates and stay at home orders, other than fighting a pandemic? And why are they being so ineffective about it, if it was that important? What have they accomplished so far with it and why did they want that?
But do you see the effectiveness of fighting against these measures, for the Republicans? They provoked resistance against the Democrats, exacerbated the problem and blamed the Democrats for the resulting death and destruction. Congratulations, the Republicans probably will win the mid terms, over a million+ dead bodies.
In my country, all the Covid measures will be dropped very soon.
The only achievement those measures had, other than preventing our health care system from being completely overburdened, was massive resistance and loss of confidence towards our government.
Mission Accomplished?????
I was not familiar with the term "lagger bitch" however, Google is. According to the urban dictionary "Fucking Bitch Lagger" is a term used to describe a person with such an immensely low internet connection that they are lowered to a level that of a female dog, using "fucking' for more emphasis on their lag.
I believe that tecsan was responding Ananas2xLekker when he chose to use that term.
OH, let me see here,
It aint rocket science, there are more guns in the US and there are also more over medicated or undermedicated nut cases allowed to run loose in the US than in those other countrys.
To add to that,I am about willing to bet the population of people medicated for mental health issues related to violence in the US is greater than the population of some of those other countrys combined of healthy people.

After repeated exposure to a piece of information, people will start assuming it’s true, whether or not it actually is, simply because they’ve heard it so many times. Familiarity and repetition can overcome rationality, a phenomenon psychologists call the “illusory truth effect.”
In a 24-hour period during the first weekend of August, two mass shootings—one in El Paso, Texas and the other in Dayton, Ohio—left 31 people dead and 53 injured, as of writing. In between “calls for action” and the need for “thoughts and prayers,” legislators across the political spectrum, ranging from Democratic presidential candidates like Bernie Sanders and Andrew Yang, to Republicans like the Governor of Texas and President Donald Trump, were quick to assign blame to mental illness—despite ample evidence that gun violence is not a mental health problem.
I feel I am sane, not politically correct by some folks standards but sane.
I have no desire to kill anyone.
There has to be a mental issue, temporary or other wise,to prompt a human to take another humans life.

fuelled all that and more:
