Our Mayor is currently in Albany, trying to get State politicians to modify the no bail law. Our Governor, who is pandering for the black vote, is opposed to changing the law. So, the bodies will continue to pile up. This is what the majority voted for.

Moderate republicans are always welcome to a seat at the table.

Trump and Trumpies are not, due to their wilingness to lie about the big stuff.

NFL Taps Ex-Attorney General Loretta Lynch to Fight Flores' Race Bias Suit

Very interesting.

I’m assuming the NFL backed the Brinks truck up her driveway.

She's more than a "token."

Graduated cum laude from Harvard then got her J.D. from Harvard.

Extensive experience.

The doxxing of donors to the Canadian truckers by major media outlets is over the top. I hope more liberals and conservatives speak out against it.

I also believe Canada has laws and that they have the right to end any protest, even a peaceful one, if it is disrupting the peace by halting traffic, making noise in residential areas, stopping work, etc. The protesters have been given the chance to state their case in public and the Prime Minister has refused to do much but call them names. It is time for the protesters to work towards electing more people that understand their cause and support it and get back to work. Of course, they also can make the choice to be arrested or have other sanctions against them.

The Canadian measures that can be taken under the act seem a little over the top for a protest, but they are the laws and you can fight them in court or in the court of public opinion.

This is also how cities should have handled peaceful protests in the US…let people have their say, arrest rioters and looters, and limit how long areas disrupted without proper permitting can remain that way.
