I got your Antifa right here, motherfuckers.

Las Vegas IS Antifa. I feel much more virtuous about having spent so much money there over the years

Former Defense Sec james Mattis slames Trump

A fair number of GOPers coming out against Trump.

Need to start a Draft Romney campaign. Bring back Anybody But Trump.
Start a Patriots Against Trump movement.  Get GOPers on board and military and non-partisan professionals.  Time to take back the GOP party from the horrors of Trumpism.  Time for the GOP civil war.

I up Trump not running to 38.9% ...

Why in the world should we rescue the GOP?

Whip their ass at the ballot box from sea to shining sea.

RIP
David Dorn

Did you find that news item on https://welovetrump.com/2020/06/03/retired-black-police-officer-david-dorn-shot-in-back-by-rioters-in-st-louis/

I didn't know there was a welovetrump website.
I think everyone is against criminal murder and armed looting and killing anyone defending their property.  So what's your point?

Of course if Dorn died of coronavirus, we'd be hearing that he was old and overweight and didn't have much longer to live (he was 77 which is all black male life expectancy is).

All lives matter ... including the elderly trapped in infected nursing homes.
But all lives are not equally endangered.


Btw, did you see what the police did to those two black college kids in ATL?
I was pretty impressed with Taniyah Pilgrim and Messiah Young.  Both ripped out of their car (cop smashed in the driver's window with his baton), and tased multiple times.  Young had a pair of taser darts left in his back for 8 hours.   That's going to be a hefty settlement for the ATL police dept.  The kids were just driving by and started filming police beating someone else up.  Young refused to get out of the car when the police attacked them, repeatedly saying "I'm not gonna die tonight."   Just a broken wrist, 20 stitches, 3 or more Tasers and a whole lotta scared shitless.  Policing!

DC knows how to do protests, we’’re pros!

What Trump and Barr pulled Monday night was an argument for DC statehood.

Meanwhile, when were were looking in a different direction:

https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2020/may/28/alaska-bears-wolves-trump-rules-hunters?fbclid=IwAR3gHeD5Lr9k9o382IWclnMy5oUM6y1esQTLngTj_Xw6GrssG8ogluJUQgI

New rules to allow hunters to go after cubs in dens.

The cruelty is the point.

Don’t forget the sheer inadequacy of anyone who would do that and try to claim it was hunting.

Don Jr is a big game hunter.   A real man!

This move again shows that most of what Trump does is culture war.   Anyone who thinks in terms of preserving balanced predator-prey populations, or in terms of humane treatment, is a libtard.  It's war,  where the enemy is reduced to the simplest caricature.  Truth doesn't matter,  only saying booyah and peeing on the vanquished matters.

Reading the entire posted article helps get past TDS.

The park service’s deputy director, David Vela, said the change would “more closely align hunting and trapping regulations with those established by the state of Alaska”.

The regulation is expected to be formally published this week. Alaska laws would still apply. The state generally prohibits killing bear cubs, but it allows some exceptions in Alaska’s interior region.

The Alaska senator Dan Sullivan, a Republican, said the revision was needed “not only as a matter of principle, but as a matter of states’ rights”. A tribal consortium, the Tanana Chiefs Conference, said the Obama rule was implemented without adequate tribal consultation, in disregard to rural Alaska’s dependence on wild food resources, threatening “centuries-long sustainable management practices”.

Peter Christian, a spokesman with the park service in Alaska, told the Anchorage Daily News that the changes will allow hunters to draw black bears, including cubs and females with cubs, out of their dens with artificial light; to use bait to attract black and brown bears; to hunt wolves and coyotes during the denning season and to shoot caribou while they are swimming or from motorboats.

“These harvest practices would be allowed in national preserves where authorized by the state of Alaska,” Christian said.

No,  not really.   Alaska needs its bear population.   Ecosystem management is a real thing.   Not everything tribal councils say is brilliant. 

It's also cruel and unsporting.  Concepts that are difficult for the GOP I know.

Barr has brought in unbadged Federal Prison Riot Police to combat protesters in Washington DC.

The beginning of the end of our Democracy.

Totally fucking crazy how that statement is in no way an exaggeration.

Very pinoshady.   There are moments when I wonder if we'll see secessions.

BTW a quick LoL on Red quoting the practice of using artificial light to draw bears out as “centuries-long sustainable management practices”.  Centuries?   Not your best soundbite,  Redward.

On the contrary. You posted the article.  And obviously cared  little about the details.

Josh posted it.   I replied to the points I thought relevant.  You quoted from it,  and that peculiar little snip about centuries old traditions was offered by you.    Time for your senility pills,  pops.

The point remains Red is ok with killing baby bears and making the Alaska wilderness safe for oil and gas drillers.
