“In a January 2020 survey fielded by YouGov, a slim majority of GOP voters agreed with the statement ‘The traditional American way of life is disappearing so fast that we may have to use force to save it.’ Nearly three-fourths agreed with ‘It is hard to trust the results of elections when so many people will vote for anyone who offers a handout.’ More than 40 percent agreed that ‘a time will come when patriotic Americans have to take the law into their own hands.’ More than 47 percent concurred with the premise that ‘strong leaders sometimes have to bend the rules in order to get things done.’ And on all of these questions, most of those who did not agree were merely unsure.”

Heavily armed Trump supporters plotted trip to Kenosha to "pick people off": FBI

Quote
Two heavily armed supporters of President Donald Trump were arrested this week when the FBI received a tip that they were planning to drive to Kenosha, Wisconsin, where they hoped to "pick people off."

Local news station WISN reports that Missouri residents Michael Karmo and Cody Smith were arrested by federal agents in a hotel parking lot this week after the FBI learned on Tuesday that they were driving to Kenosha armed with a large cache of weapons.

According to WISN, agents searched the men's vehicle and hotel room and found "an Armory AR-15 assault rifle, a Mossberg 500 AB 12-Gauge shotgun, two handguns, a silencer, ammunition, body armor, a drone and other materials."

Officials also say that the two men were planning to travel to Portland, Oregon after their Kenosha stop, where they had pledged to "take action" if the city moved forward with defunding its police department.

According to a criminal complaint filed against them, both Karmo and Smith "are part of the 417 2nd Amendment Militia of Missouri" and that they "went to Kenosha to attend President Donald Trump's rally."

Another of those wonderful COVID-19 moves by the Trump administration:

We were way overcharged, but the company also under-delivered!

If you can convince the lowest white man he's better than the best colored man, he won't notice you're picking his pocket. Hell, give him somebody to look down on, and he'll empty his pockets for you.

More like a K shaped recovery.



”Americans continued to gradually return to work in August, with 8.6% of workers who were employed in January reporting they were out of work in August, down from 11% in the first half of July.

Recent improvements in the demand for labor are creating two distinct employment paths as the economy recovers. On the one hand, a growing share of workers who are now back to work feels secure in their jobs and does not expect to suffer a loss of employment income over the next four weeks. On the other hand, unemployed workers are losing hope of returning to their prior jobs, and 50% of unemployment insurance recipients are unable to cover their basic expenses with the money they receive from UI benefits.

Barring dramatic developments in the spread of the virus, all indicators suggest that U.S. workers are likely to continue experiencing modest employment improvements on average, with unemployed workers likely to experience prolonged unemployment and suffer financial hardship.”

The GOP tried to prevent the Census from getting the time extension they needed.

They may still prevail, but a judge has preliminarily said "wait a minute; let's have a hearing."
