Senate confirms DOJ nominee Kristen Clarke with just one Republican vote

[daveman]

About damn time she got confirmed, with just one Republican vote no doubt.

Now we'll have an actual functional Civil Rights Department.

Senate confirms DOJ nominee Kristen Clarke with just one Republican vote

The Senate confirmed Kristen Clarke as the first Black woman to run the Department of Justice’s Civil Rights Division in a 51-48 vote Tuesday afternoon.

www.foxnews.com

Thank you Sleepy Joe!

“I advocate for defunding policing operations that have made African Americans more vulnerable to police violence and contributed to mass incarceration, while investing more in programs and policies that address critical community needs.”

Kristen Clarke is another misguided radical who supported the Socialist Democrat failed 'Defund The Police' policy that has resulted in skyrocketing violence and murder rates in Democrat-run cities. This alone disqualifies her for the job.

Kristen Clarke’s Troubling Track Record on Civil Rights | National Review

Clarke drew fire for her recent position in favor of defunding the police and her longer history of promoting a warped notion of civil rights.

www.nationalreview.com

First, she said that she “did not have a speaking or other substantive role” at a controversial conference at which black radicals lauded several notorious cop-killers, such as Philadelphia’s Mumia Abu-Jamal. Ross, however, found the official conference itinerary, which listed Clarke as a moderator (a direct participant in the presentation, or, in short, a “speaker”) for a panel that included a top advocate for Abu-Jamal.

Second, Clarke told the Senate that she did not serve alongside Marxist, anti-Semitic poet Amiri Baraka on the staff of a journal on black studies. The truth is that she and Baraka together were, respectively, an “assistant editor” and a “contributing editor” for eight full issues.

Enough discrepancy was found in her testimony under oath to give legitimate pause in voting for her.

Senate should reject radical, unethical Kristen Clarke for top civil rights post

The Senate should reject leftist lawyer Kristen Clarke’s nomination as the head of the Justice Department’s civil rights division.

"...for the Department of Justice, the only thing worse than an anti-police radical is an anti-police radical who lies repeatedly under oath about both aspects of that radicalism."


As violence explodes across the country n the wake of the Democrats' 'Defund The police' crusade against lsw enforcement officers, the last thing the DOJ needs is someone who villainizes the police and seeks to tie their hands even more....IMHO.

Ever notice how the "defund the police" movement seems to be nothing more than an attempt to let black people get away with breaking the law without repercussions?

 

[NightFox]

now you know how the trump people felt.....the Democrats attacked him non-stop from before he stepped one foot in Office.

Why didn't you say "Marc, I now understand how Obama people felt", considering that it happened before Trump's time?

O was a fucking neocon. You should know this. Can’t you accept the truth because he’s black and a D?

That and his embrace of Wall St at the expense of Main St are two conundrums. I'll be dead of course, but imo it would be interesting to read a biog of this guy written 50 years or so after his passing. I'm rereading Edmund Morris' biography on TR. At least he didn't really surprise anyone .... which was good and maybe bad too. LOL

WHOA doggie, I think you missed something in that Morris bio.

TR surprised EVERYONE in the upper echelons of the partisan establishment who thought that by sticking him in the VP slot it would shut him up and neutralize his influence on public policy.

Guess what, SURPRISE!

At least TR went after the big corporations of his time and busted them up. We could use a politician like him today, but there isn’t one who dares do what he did.

Be careful what you wish for, we’re in a GLOBAL economy now, anti-trust actions against our own Corporations just degrades their competitiveness while giving a huge leg up to foreign competitors (ahem… CHINA), you sure you want to go do that road?

I don’t care about that. They have way too much political power and need to be busted up.

So that what? We can have Chinese owned corporations having “way too much political power” in this country?

I don’t think rearranging the deck chairs on the Titanic to suit our foreign competition is the right way to go, but that’s just me.

Busting them up is a start.

Sorry gipper but I can’t agree with you on that one, I’m just as concerned about the power our domestic corporations wield as your are, but I can’t warm up to the idea of trading domestic corporate masters for foreign ones.

The question I would ask, how do we curb the influence that corporations wield over our institutions by inhibiting them from BUYING OUR POLITICIANS (via rampant influence peddling), then when one considers that our politicians have already been bought & paid for by said domestic corporations one can rule out even the remotest possibility of “breaking them up”.

A Black woman is in a important, powerful job. Another FAIL for Republicans.

And, exactly as programmed, you celebrate this for race and gender.

No, you did that:

What are her qualifications?

Oh, yes...dark skin, and a vagina.

You said: "A Black woman..."

I didn't make you say that.

And you'd never heard of her before. I'd ask you for her qualifications, but you'd have to Google them.

So you're left with nothing but race and gender.

You never used to be this stupid. Of course I've heard of her before.

I doubt you did. You never heard of her until Biden nominated her.

She has been legal contributor at MSNBC for the past few years, dumbass. Regular appearances on Joy Reed and Al Sharpton's shows.

 

[daveman]

marc you get get called an idiot around here way more than me......but then you may be to dumb to see it.....

If you value the opinions of those racist scumbags that's just more evidence as to how low in the gutter you are.

and yet here you are talking just like them.....putting me down just because i have the gall and audacity to question you.....how are you any different than them "racists" marc?....

His racism is good and righteous and holy.

Really? I stand corrected. And you watch MSNBC? No wonder you're reality-challenged.

A Black woman is in a important, powerful job.

What do you mean? Didn't we just have a black woman in the White House as president for EIGHT years?!

Yes, I realize that having more than one is a taxing situation for you. Perhaps you should lie down for a bit?

Take your bullshit race baiting the fuck outta here. It's getting so fucking old.

Regular appearances on the Joy Reed AND Al Sharpton shows? Well THAT certainly qualifies her for a top spot in an Executive Branch Division.

.. The only question now is what jobs are left for Joe to hand out to Beavis & Butthead?

Sheesh… our standards have gotten so low in this country that they’ve become non-existent.

I suppose term limits on Congress would help. Outlawing private contributions to politicians might help.

Now you're talking! still a VERY tall mountain to climb but at least we wouldn't be shooting our own economy in the head.

Besides you do realize all this talk about of breaking up our largest and most successful corporations that is circulating in Washington is nothing more than a shake down to scare 'em into ponying up more coin, right? They're not seriously considering biting the hands that feed them.

Being a guest on the biggest race hustler on the planet is a qualification for sure. Not for any government office but probably any black racist organization for sure.

Defunding the police, spending money on mental health professionals, and other forms of social workers to deal with mental health crises, and other non-criminal matters. There are very few calls to 9/11 that call for a militarized armed response, and that includes petty crimes.



Ever notice how right wingers lie about the "Defund the police" movement every time they talk about it. Defund the police is a prime example.

Every time they talk about Democratic policies, they lie about them.

How is the Civil Rights Department “functional” given the constant barrage of civil rights complaints assaulting the air waves? Are they all going to go away now that we’ve confirmed this bureaucrat ? What new and wonderful things can we expect? I mean other than an ever higher price tag.

.. and how many Democrat votes did each of Donny’s nominees receive, I must of missed that torrent of Bi-Partisan cooperation when he was trying to get the positions in his administration filled, enlighten me.

What's the purpose of the Civil Rights Department NightFox?

.

The Civil Rights Division of the Department of Justice, created in 1957 by the enactment of the Civil Rights Act of 1957,
works to uphold the civil and constitutional rights of all Americans, particularly some of the most vulnerable members of our society.
The Division enforces federal statutes prohibiting discrimination on the basis of race, color, sex (including pregnancy, sexual orientation, and gender identity),
disability, religion, familial status, national origin, and citizenship status.


Which means they pretty much do whatever they want, and can use just about anything as an excuse, in today's political climate.
If the law or the terminology doesn't really fit their desires, they will just reimagine what it means.

[Synthaholic]

appearances on the Joy Reed AND Al Sharpton shows? Well THAT certainly qualifies her for a top spot in an Executive Branch Division.

I'll wait.
