Amazon needs to be rejected also.

That is going to be a hard one for me.

Rejecting woke corporations will leave us with fewer and fewer options if we were to actually implement it as a rule of thumb for purchases.

For the invisible things of him since the creation of the world are clearly seen, being perceived through the things that are made, even his everlasting power and divinity, that they may be without excuse. Because knowing God, they didn’t glorify him as God, and didn’t give thanks, but became vain in their reasoning, and their senseless heart was darkened. Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools.

I have attempted to buy stuff from other sources besides Amazon.  I am not 100% off of that site, but I have bought a number of things elsewhere recently that I might have defaulted to Amazon a couple years ago.

I cancelled my Amazon Prime, but it is good through November.  All I use it for now is streaming music.

And their streaming music has just gone way downhill, IMO. If you don't pony up for "unlimited music", the Prime music just sucks. I am constantly losing songs off my playlists on Prime, to the point it has me thinking they do it on purpose to get everyone moved to Unlimited.

Instead, I have been going retro and moving my music back to devices and software that aren't connected to and controlled by a high tech tyrant, telling me which of the music that I've purchased that I'm allowed to listen to.

Minnieappleless will burn tonight no matter the verdict, even if he was found guilty on every charge (not possible) and sentenced to death today they will still riot tonight.

As far as the morons calling for a new civil(race) war- I don't think they really understand the concept of "minority".

The guy is getting the responses he is asking for.  He is more or less leading them into those answers.  Beside, most of the people he was talking to would be doing any of the violence, just egging on others.

But Democrats moved quickly to table the resolution in a 216 to 210 party-line vote and avoided taking a vote directly on whether to formally reprimand the longtime California congresswoman.

It's a shame that America is getting torn apart because of a drug addicted, felonious thug who was a genuine piece of *expletive deleted*it and a police officer with a record of abusing his badge.

How is that even possible?  Murder 3 and murder 2 had mutually exclusive elements.  Abortion of justice.

Jury nullification in reverse.

The good news is that several politicians, especially Maxine Waters, have kindly provided Mr. Chauvin a handy basis for an appeal.

Remind me not to hire you as a legal analyst ...

Actually, in a sane world you would have been correct. Each charge has a very specific definition, and the three crimes described are mutually exclusive. Theoretically, it should indeed have been impossible to convict on all three charges. So, as has been stated, this verdict is nothing but a legalized lynching. The potential bright side is that, in addition to Maxine Waters having potentially tainted the jury with her inflammatory remarks, this seemingly impossible verdict should provide more substance for an appeal.

Speaking for myself only, I didn't like anything I read about Chauvin but, after reading the basis for each of the three charges, the only one I could have voted for would have been the manslaughter charge.

He hasn't escaped prosecution by the feds yet.  He could get life for that.  (technically he could get the death penalty but that's almost impossible)

The appeal will be interesting.  At least some of the charges will be overturned and then Minneapolis will burn again -- if there's anything left to burn.

Were I on the jury I might well have supported the manslaughter charge. I was under the apparently mistaken assumption the the murder charges were an either/or kind of deal. I'll await analyses from the legal front for more edification.

Lets see how long Maxine can keep big mouth shut. Bet she feels emboldened by the dems circling the wagons around her.
