lol. once again, you are showing that you don't know what an electoral college is

This conclave is not an EC. and teh college of cardinals is a group of people.
I guess I can call the school board i was a part of an EC too eh?

The cardinals are a group of people elected and represent a vote (like states have electors). They vote on the next pope and a 2/3 majority has to be approved. So it sounds like each cardinal is represented a vote (electors) & 2/3 (majority of electors) gets to be the new leader.

School board has ultimate power, they aren't hiring somebody that is in charge or leading them. So no, not the same thing.

If you don't think sex trafficing is happening in the political sphere, I'm not the naive one

Give me a freaking break. Pizzagate is idiotic debunked nonsense. There is no evidence of "sex trafficking in the political sphere."

And protesting unjust laws that will one day be a black eye and stain on our history is legal.

You can say it until you are blue in the face, but that isn't what they are protesting. Not a single sign says "do away with no-know warrants." They say things like abolish the police, BLM, or comments about how those cops should be in prison. They shouldn't. But these people aren't smart enough to understand that.

Epstein, Bill Clinton, ms maxwell, but go off on an ignorant tangent. Why do you defend people you know nothing about that hate people like you? It’s stupid.

Sex trafficking is very real and it happens all over America. Wealthy people are the ones involved. Politicians are involved. You are again, willfully ignorant.

I never said sex trafficking is not real. But you trying to tie it to the Clintons is ridiculous. You know Trump hob-knobbed with Epstein as well. Is he also involved in sex trafficking?
 
It's almost like the argument here is that it was a legal murder.... The no-knock situation created the circumstances for a shootout to take place, and Breonna is dead. All the legal ducks are apparently in a row, allowing NO ACCOUNTABILITY for her life.

The parents were paid $12 million... but if it were my son, I wouldn't be happy with that. $12 million and everything just goes back to the way it was. The person who pulled the trigger just walks off and goes about his day. I understand they will ban no-knock warrants, but there is still no justice for being shot 5 times.

Tough pill to swallow.

Dude you have no idea what you are talking about.
Cardinals are not elected and they don’t represent a vote on behalf of people.

From 2+ weeks ago in a different city?

I was clearly talking about Louisville today.

Oh, here we go... BCS, sorry. Someone who lives somewhere else can't be upset about No Knock Warrants. You need to go find someone in Louisville proper, not even in the metro area, who is protesting no knock warrants. I don't want some person from the suburbs either. The person must reside in downtown Louisville to fulfill the requirement.

It is a tough pill to swallow.
But the cops are not to blame

That is literally the first sign I have seen woth it. I’m sure there are more out there.

About as many as signs that say kill the cops or eff Jesus.
Well...probably less

Raise your son not to closely associate with felons, and it's likely you'll have nothing to worry about. When you closely associate with bad people, sometimes you get caught up in their consequences. It sucks. I wish it didn't happen. But she put herself in that situation. Would it be any less sad if another drug dealer had broken in to steal drugs (and yes, I realize they didn't find any drugs there that day) and shot her? Wouldn't have been a story.

Am I correct in interpreting what you said is..... Breonna Taylor being dead is her own fault?

You said "she put herself in that situation". Meaning, it's her own fault she is dead, right?

And I doubt my son will closely associate with felons. We are upper middle class people in South Tulsa. Odds are low. (not that upper middle class people who grow up in south tulsa don't break the law)

that isn't what he said

If you hang out with bad people, bad things are more likely to happen

She is as much to blame as the cops in this case, how about that? Neither the cops nor Taylor broke the law that night.

There are plenty of felons that run with upper middle class white folks. Plenty. And your son will eventually live his own life. Being raised white and upper middle class will have a very limited impact on who he can potentially interact with later in life. Taylor was a nurse, right? That doesn't exactly scream "I'm a poor black girl that can't find a good man so I felonious drug dealers." Right? She had options. She chose to hang around a high risk individual. No different then taking illegal drugs, or driving 125mph on the highway at 2am, or any number of risky behaviors that don't typically result in death, but sometimes do.

The person of interest wasn’t even with her. Apparently they weren’t in contact since January, but the evidence they had was that he had her address down as his place of residence.

Let me repeat, she hadn’t been in contact with the suspect for 2 months & she gets killed over “hanging with the wrong crowd”.

You’re right & all the sources who use the definition of EC & determine VC is one are wrong.

How do you argue against the 2 articles I posted Oh Wise One?
