No wonder the violent gang is losing its club house, protection racket, and street cred all in one go.

US government is running out of the only drug proven effective.

Just as the storm season evacuation migrations get underway

Nothing Trump has done comes close to violating the Constitution.

LOL!

Yeah.  We've never had an administration more carefully guided by both the letter and the spirit of the law.  Taxcuts!

Powell had no answer. 

Of course he did.  Watch the interview.  What do you think it was about?

[kiidcarter8]

people in their early twenties went from Barack Obama to Donald Trump.


Trump   18-24 -   35%

Trump - 25-29 -    39%


Obama had 60% of each in 2012

Did you understand these kids I’m talking grew up through elementary school with Obama as president?

Right before they hit voting age ...Trump gets elected.

 
OK.  I understand what you meant now.

There are, of course, still people who deny systemic racism is a problem in America.

Ward, for example. Kid for another, though I am sure he will deny that now. And, of course Atty. General Barr and President Trump, the least racist person in the world. (Just ask him.)

Nobody important.

38/57 approval/disapproval for Trump

The CNN poll reported that only 38 percent of respondents approve of the “way Donald Trump is handling his job as president,” while a majority — 57 percent — disapprove.

Biden 55 / Trump 41 among reg voters:

Among registered voters polled, 41 percent say they would be more likely to cast their ballots for him compared to the 55 percent of voters who prefer Biden

Such a profound response. As ever, you have no idea what it was about, so you duck the question.

Too fucking funny.

The Last Time the U.S. Army Cleared Demonstrators From Pennsylvania Avenue

I knew the general idea about the Bonus Army and the troops stomping on them and that being Hoover's death knell.  But didn't realize/remember it was Douglas MacArthur doing the head-cracking.  Or that he exceeded his orders and smashed both camps in DC. 

What was intended as a retirement bonus (payable in 1945) to Great War vets, voted in during boom times (1924), the vets wanted to claim right away after a few years of The Depression made it hard to survive.  Hoover decided to label them as troublemakers and commies, even though they were vets just looking to survive.  But Hoovervilles just down the road from his WH residence rankled HH.

Capitalism will survive.

Too many people and not enough resources?
Simple...lose some people.

You first.

Not only was the "military genius" MacArthur there, but so was Patton commanding a bunch of tanks.

Trump at 38% approval and dropping.

He’s toast.
