So they didn't have a moment of silence for the murdered in cold blood,
They had a moment of silence for the criminal in prison for murdering someone in cold blood
Yeah, That pretty much tracts with everything else that is going on,
The world is upside down, What is right is now wrong, What is wrong is now right,
Insanity abounds

Why?
Re-read Nerfherder's post and see The word "Nazi".

"Because Republicans are Nazis"
Is not the answer I was expecting from a self-described "Independent" "Libertarian."

...true, good, conservative values...

We all know that killing poor black people is a core MAGA value.

Even better when they can outsource killing black people to the cops.
Every time the police kill a Negro, it confirms for Republicans that Negroes are a savage, violent race.
We need the Police, to keep White America safe from the criminal Negro class.
#MAGA
