Re: The facts are slowly starting to come out

“ According to released grand jury testimony, it was Breonna Taylor who shot at police officers during a March 13 raid on her apartment, boyfriend Kenneth Walker allegedly told police before changing his story.”

“ As noted by the outlet, “One of Taylor’s neighbors also told investigators that police had told her that ‘some drug-dealing girl shot an officer.”

“The released audio also reportedly indicated that officers said they knocked and announced themselves for up to one-to-two minutes before breaking down the door of the apartment.”

“ According to detective Michael Nobles, “officers made so much noise that an upstairs neighbor came outside and had to be told to go back inside,” the report noted.”

There's a boatload to argue with about liberal positions, but your list is like: are you kidding?

Just taking them in order:

Diversity - lie.
Huh? This is maybe the worst statement of what's a pretty awful collection. Are you saying race-mixing is a bad idea? Because that position is indefensible and makes you a white supremacist.

Russian collusion - lie.
Hardly, just "not established", per the Mueller report. It's still a pretty healthy suspicion among anybody with eyes. Everybody under the sun has confirmed Putin vastly prefers Trump, interfered in the 2016 election on Trump's behalf and is doing so again in 2020, and many in Trump's inner circle have confirmed their belief Putin has something on Trump, to the point even members of the intelligence community don't brief Trump on Russian intelligence because they know he doesn't want to hear it.

My own opinion: Trump was a businessman, not a politician, the first 70 years of his life. Any link to Russia is probably financial...and indeed, the New York Times established Trump owes over $400 million dollars, due in the next four years. Who to?

Global warming - lie.
Bullsh!t. The only scientists who believe that are the ones hired by the oil companies to do so, especially the Koch Brothers.

Fires caused by climate change - lie.
Again, bullsh!t. See above.

Systemic racism exists - lie.
An interesting, thorny problem. Maybe not purposefully. But our system is heavily gamed in favor of inherited generational wealth and owing to the fact that they came over as slaves and then faced decades of Jim Crow laws, blacks are disproportionately on the bottom end of the scale, which is only being exacerbated by the growing wage gap. In other words, blacks' portion of the pie is decreasing, not increasing...maybe not because of hate, but certainly because the system was never fair to begin with and is getting worse.

The Green New Deal is possible/achievable - lie.
Agreed, the "Green New Deal" is pie-in-the-sky stupid and definitely shows an unawareness of basic math. But we'd durn well better do something to reduce carbon emissions by about 7% a year or we hit a bunch of "tipping points" we don't want to see by 2030. The good news is, we likely can - because between emerging "glass" and graphene battery technologies we can dramatically slash our dependence on oil in the next decade (which incidentally would disentangle us from the Middle East), and advances in synthetic meat and carbon-capture tech can both reduce our dependence on beef (a huge source of carbon emissions) while pulling carbon out of the atmosphere. It's going to be a race...but it's one we can win, and we really do need to.

Trump is a white supremacist - lie.
"Proud Boys, stand back and stand by." Pretty much says it all.

Cops kill black people due to racism - lie.
I'd go more with "classism" since hating somebody for the color of their skin is so pre-1960's. Cops tend to treat those of perceived lower social status more harshly...which, as noted above, does seem to disproportionately affect black people because they're far poorer per capita than your average - note I do say "average" - white person.

Everyone wants to introduce themselves by first saying their preferred pronoun - lie.
Huh?

Protests are mostly peaceful - lie.
Actually true. Though there is far too much bullsh!t and rioting going on that's hurting the intent of many of the peaceful ones.

Jussie Smollet - lie.
Uh...yeah. What's that got to do with anything?

Rachel Dolezal - lie
Again...yeah, and so what? Once again, are you making broad "the Earth is Flat" statements that show you know nothing about science, or commenting on individual cases like they're representative of anything whatsoever? Make up your mind, man.
