Maybe it's just me, but when a cop is killed by a criminal, it seems to make national news? There's always "MANHUNT FOR THE COP KILLER" plastered all over the news, even though I'm on the west coast, and the cop died in like, Ohio or something.

I'm wondering if he's including the 140 officers injured by a fascist mob about a year ago.

Yeah they don't report it much when the cops shoot the other cops because they're jumpy

Again a very likpatous story
The search on Garrison's site sucks poo poo, and I'm too lazy to go through every rant where he might have namedropped Epstein, but here's the only definitive thing I could find about him acknowledging Trump hanging out with Epstein:

quote:

Also disgusting is the FakeNews corporate media trying to frame President Trump as Epstein’s best buddy when in fact Trump banned him from Mar a Lago when he found out what Epstein was. Trump also voluntarily released info about the pedophile to the FBI.

So as far as I can tell, he's completely ignored that Trump is on the flight logs and even made a joke on camera about how "Epstein likes them young" in favor of "The media is lying and Trump actually doesn't like Epstein at all!"

I think he's acknowledge it once but he resorted to whataboutism, basically "Why do liberals care about Trump visiting the island a few times when Bill Clinton visited it so many more times?"

"Trump can have a little pedophilia. As a treat."



(The amount of pedophilia and sex trafficking that should be allowed is exactly zero, Garrison. "But they did it too!" and "But they did it so many more times!" are not valid justfications.)

Or this cartoon, which is totally about some other woman who spoke at the Democratic National Convention that year:



In many ways he really is the Ur-Boomer cartoonist. Not just his views and his style (although the way he draws women alone qualifies him as an S-tier boomer cartoonist) - it's the fact that he owes his whole career to the fact that he had a marginally more talented sibling to hang on to, and is completely lacking in self-awareness regarding that fact.

Also I guess he's always missing work since he apparently thinks driving a car consists of pushing on the break 99.999% of the time or whatever, just let up and give it a little gas once a year when a military spending bill comes up

Scott Morrison pushes to reclassify Covid hospital admissions - with only 51 patients on ventilators despite Australia recording thousands of new cases every day (Daily Mail).

quote:

IRS WANTS A PIECE OF THE ACTION

The IRS wants to rob the robbers. I thought it was a joke. A prankish Internet meme. But the story is real!


The IRS says criminals have to report their illegal income. The IRS calls such criminals ‘self-employed.’ They must report the value of their stolen goods or income ‘earned’ from illegal activities. If the stolen goods are returned during the same year as the theft occurred, then it can go unreported. Have we ever seen someone return stolen goods to a Walgreens? Did a looter ever un-loot?

Will such self-employed criminals be allowed to deduct items they used to commit their crimes? Why not deduct the mileage and car expenses needed to arrive at said Walgreens? Why not deduct guns, burglary kits, and e-bay fees that were used to fence their goods?

The IRS must think criminals are stupid. Or maybe they consider us all to be stupid. After all, American tax payers keep incriminating themselves by signing incomprehensible forms and then sending chunks of their honestly-earned income to a criminal organization known as the IRS. Citizens do it out of fear. They have to pay the IRS and Big Government just like many Italian neighborhoods have paid off organized crime.

Income taxes aren’t ‘voluntary,’ even though Bill Clinton said they were. People know it’s done by force—through a barrel of a gun. If citizens don’t comply they risk prison. If they resist being sent to prison they can be murdered. Most people simply don’t want the hassle of a Gestapo IRS gang threatening them or taking their hard-earned property.

The irony is the criminal IRS and the Department of Treasury don’t even need our money to pay for anything. Those taxes will soon be inadequate to even pay the interest on the National Debt. They need our money to control us by impoverishing us. It’s also about taking money out of circulation in order to help control inflation. Sending away money that you’ll never be able to spend is deflationary. No matter, inflation will soon be out of control anyway. The Central Bankers who own the Federal Reserve can print all the debt currency they like—and they do. They need the IRS for their personal power. They know how powerful fear can be.

It’s time to end the Fed and the IRS.

Is it supposed to be a bad thing that criminals have to pay taxes?

I don't even understand the objection, doesn't Garrison want to be tough on crime post-Floyd (until Ben gets a speeding ticket), do conservatives want crime to not only pay but pay tax-free?
