Recently, Biden meet with 10 GOP Senators to promote their anemic bill costing about $600 billion. They refuse to promote even a $1400 stimulus but only a $1000 stimulus package. Biden wants to have a 1.9 trillion bill. The reality is that we are not dealing with a quaint issue requiring a small solution. We are living in a national and global emergency crisis where millions of people have died. Millions of Americans are without work, and you have businesses suffering. This crisis requires bold, revolutionary solutions. Bipartisanship won't solve this problem. We have seen the GOP change from the party of a far right conservative Reagan to the party of a neo-fascist being run by Trump. The GOP plan refuses to have federal and state funding. These GOP members have the nerve to not want the minimum wage to be $15 when it has been $7.25 for over 10 years. America now has the worst economy since 1946. This is a real test for the Biden administration. The FBI is having a probe to find how much coordinated the Capitol assault by terrorists are. We know that the terrorist insurrection was organized by many factions, and it was coordinated in sophisticated ways. People used walkie talkies, cell phones, and other funding in order to make the terrorist mob attack to occur. The terrorists aren't the only ones responsible for this. For days after the election, Mitch McConnell refuses to acknowledge that Biden won the 2020 election until January. Trump also only cared about himself. Mitch McConnell hoped that this situation would go away, but it didn't. Rudy Giuliani also spoke violent rhetoric that contributed to the violence at the U.S. Capitol.
There is the sad story of a 9 year old girl being pepper sprayed at Rochester, NY. The girl ran from her home. Many people don't know why she ran away. The police tried to stop her. When they met her, the girl said that she wanted to be with her father. The mother came and verbally abused the young girl by cursing her out. Then, the mother cursed out another driver of a vehicle. Later, the girl was arrested and pepper sprayed. She experienced terror. There is no excuse to pepper spray a little girl. If a cop can't control a small child, then that cop shouldn't have been there in the first place. Obviously, the child is a victim of the bare minimum of verbal, emotional abuse by the mother. The little child needs counseling and other help. Even the Rochester police chief said that what the officers did was wrong. There has been many protests in Rochester that desire nothing more than justice.
I'm heavily disappointed in Keke Wyatt. She has an amazing singing voice, but she made bold, inappropriate, and wrong statements. She talked about race and black oppression. When one black person said that black people are oppressed, she said that other groups of people are oppressed too. She acts like her being biracial is an excuse to talk to black people in a condescending way. The truth is that us black people are more oppressed than biracial people worldwide. Just because we are pro-black doesn't mean we want to diminish the oppression of other people. Black people are already aware that biracial people and other groups of people are oppressed by racists. In fact, the black community historically have shown empathy towards others for generations. That has been our reality. Keke's lie is that biracial people are seen as worst than black people by racists. I want to make it clear that tons of biracial people have great consciousness and are great human beings. Keke Wyatt made the stereotypical remark that she can come out as "Shaquita" today. Keke called a black man a green eyed "monkey" then issued some token "apology." Scientific and sociological studies prove that colorism exists and black people are more oppressed than biracial people. Keke Wyatt wants to use deflection to minimize the black oppression going on in the world. It is as simple as that.
Senate Minority leader Mitch McConnell finally criticized Majorie Taylor Greene. He didn't use her name explicitly, but he criticized her views like no plane going into the Pentagon (during 9/11) and school shootings being false flag operations. For years, McConnell have obstructed legitimate, progressive legislation from the House. He has gone out of his way to support Trump, even supporting Trump's lies on the 2020 election being rigged (until only weeks ago). Now, McConnell is dragging his feet on making a policy agreement with Democrats on the control of the Senate. Therefore, we realize that McConnell has been one of the worst Senate leaders in history. Majorie Taylor Greene's hateful views are not new. For centuries, many racists have embraced similar views that seek to deprive black people of freedom. Greene's ideologies are not only repugnant. They certainly ought to be exposed and rejected completely. Today, the House impeachment managers layout the Democratic case against Trump.
It is plainly clear that Trump gave a provocative, lying speech that incited terrorists to go into the U.S. Capitol building. These terrorists are made up of white supremacists, Proud Boy fascists, Qanon cultists, Neo-Nazis, other anti-Semites, and other far right extremists who hate democracy and pluralism. They hate truth, and they hate social justice. They tore down the American flag to wave the Confederate and Maga flags. They murdered a police officer while claiming to love the police. They came about to call for the hanging of even Mike Pence and other people. Trump is responsible for lighting the flame of violence in D.C. on January 6, 2020. Trump's legal team has promoted the lie that since Trump isn't President anymore, then Trump can't be liable in an impeachment conviction. The truth is that people have been found liable after they left office in American history. Rep. Alexandra Ocasio Cortez gave her chilling testimony about how the terrorists sought out her and others in the Congressional building. You can't sugarcoat evil. You have to confront it and promote justice to advance goodness in the Universe.
