Pelosi, Schumer kneel in silence for almost 9 minutes to honor George Floyd
By Cristina Marcos - 06/08/20 11:05 AM EDT



Senior Democratic lawmakers, including Speaker Nancy Pelosi (Calif.) and Senate Minority Leader Charles Schumer (N.Y.), knelt during a moment of silence shortly before unveiling a legislative package of police reforms on Monday.

About two dozen lawmakers knelt for eight minutes and 46 seconds as a tribute to George Floyd, the unarmed African American man who died after a now-former Minneapolis police officer pinned his knee on Floyd's neck during an arrest for that length of time.

Lawmakers, wearing African Kente cloth scarves, knelt in the Capitol Visitor Center before holding a press conference to unveil their legislation in response to almost two weeks of nationwide protests over police brutality toward African Americans.

This is kind of like Stalin taking a knee for the millions who died in the Ukranian famine.

The next time I get razzed for 'nodding off' I'll try pulling the old 'it was a moment of silence for George' ploy & see if it works for me, as well.

These posers make me wanna toss biscuits.

I think the Pelosi and Schumer should remain kneeling until the riots are over.
Romans 12:16-21

Live in harmony with one another; do not be haughty, but associate with the lowly, do not claim to be wiser than you are.  Do not repay anyone evil for evil, but take thought for what is noble in the sight of all.  If it is possible, so far as it depends on you, live peaceably with all…do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good.

9 minutes of them not flapping their gums.  Maybe they should observe moments of silence continuously.

Any of those moments  for the STL retired police captain who was executed by BLM/Antifa rioting thugs?

I think they should be apologizing for these consequences of Democrat Party policies for the remainder of their lives.  Democrats own 100% of this.  From Democrat unions covering for abusive cops, to Democrat prosecutors refusing to prosecute bad cops, to Democrat Mayors refusing to fire bad cops.  And for a Democrat Party entrenched in Racism for the last 180 years, always drawing lines of division based on skin color, and responsible for the breakup of the black family by subsidizing fatherlessness, the devaluation of human life through abortion, and the creation of the new plantation where blacks become addicted to government handouts that entrench them in cyclic poverty generation after generation.

And this same Democrat Party is responsible for the rioting across the nation by destroying the economy with their unlawful lockdown orders, implanting the seeds of restlessness through long term idleness, locking church doors, and then mandating that people wear face shields to mask their identities while looting stores.  And during all of this, Democrat leaders stood off at a distance while private property was stolen and destroyed as a matter of 'justice'. 

And to top it all off, Democrats now demand that we take lawlessness a step further by eliminating those who enforce the law.

Democrats are the greatest evil ever perpetrated upon a free American society.

0.27 seconds of it was devoted to David Dorn and the 0.27 seconds it took for the bullet to shatter through his skull and rip through his cerebral cortex.

POTUS will never do that.  Thank God.  Remember Reagan's silent majority?  Not since the maliase of Jimmy Carter, have they been this energized.  I think the left is underestmating that.

Noticed Nadler didn't kneel.  Of course I don't think Jabba the Hut had knees.

Jerry Nadler becomes instant meme, as Dem theatrics get ripped to smithereens

As Democrats continue to be torched over their blatant pandering in kneeling in the U.S. Capitol, one participant in the stunt is getting extra attention for all the wrong reasons.

Though U.S. Rep. Jerrold Nadler was part of House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s nearly nine-minute moment of silence in Emancipation Hall on Monday, the New York Democrat apparently had some difficulty literally taking a knee for George Floyd who died in Minneapolis last week.

You beat me to that post, lol. I have been looking for a picture of "The Rising". Knowing how my own 60+ year old body would react to kneeling for that long. We also need the audio. happy77
