Trump World is losing their collective mind.

Nah son. This ain’t the Paul Wellstone memorial service.

I'd call Tucker a name, but I'm afraid it would to an hours long argument with Red over definitions.

https://www.cnn.com/2020/07/30/us/ferguson-missouri-michael-brown-darren-wilson-no-charges/index.html

No charges will be filed against former Ferguson, Missouri, police Officer Darren Wilson after a reinvestigation into the 2014 shooting death of 18-year-old Michael Brown, St. Louis County Prosecuting Attorney Wesley Bell said Thursday.

The investigation didn't exonerate Wilson, Bell said.

Wilson's shooting of Brown, a Black man, in August 2014 sparked a federal civil rights inquiry, protests, and a national debate. Protests erupted around the country after a grand jury declined to indict Wilson.

“And then after he did that, he looked up at me and had the most intense aggressive face. The only way I can describe it, it looks like a demon, that’s how angry he looked.”

“At this point it looked like he was almost bulking up to run through the shots, like it was making him mad that I’m shooting at him. And the face he had was looking straight through me, like I wasn’t even there, I wasn’t even anything in his way.”

Darren Wilson... he feared for his life.

The Federalist Society's co-founder says Trump's tweet about delaying the election is grounds for impeachment.

Quote
The co-founder of the conservative Federalist Society said Thursday in a blistering New York Times op-ed that President Donald Trump's tweet musing about a delay to November's presidential election is grounds for impeachment.

Steven Calabresi, a Northwestern University law professor who has offered broad defenses of the President in recent years, wrote, "I am frankly appalled by the president's recent tweet seeking to postpone the November election. Until recently, I had taken as political hyperbole the Democrats' assertion that President Trump is a fascist."
"But this latest tweet is fascistic and is itself grounds for the president's immediate impeachment again by the House of Representatives and his removal from office by the Senate," he said.

I saw that. If trump drops another 3-5%, probably once the economic news sinks in and the repercussions of the unfolding republican gridlock fuck up start to be felt, I think some serving voices will probably feel a lot of pressure to get behind it on the republican side.

The Federalist Society is pissed they gave it up for a Wolf too dumb to wear clothing, after all those painstaking years of setting up and maintaining such a colossal scam.

Darren Wilson sounds a lot like George Zimmerman. It seems the problem is wide, systemic, and pervasive.

"The deranged left is 'blaming Trump' for Coronavirus."

Not blaming Trump for the virus but the response.   ...   Only a few leaders have responded as poorly as Trump.

Nobody is blaming Trump for the origin of the CV virus.  But the spread throughout the US is directly related to the Trump Admin nonchalance, poor preparation and planning, no federal coordinated strategy, dismissal of face masks, downplaying the severity, overplaying cures and treatments, and just general ineptitude and incompetence.

Arguably, only Belarus and Brasil have had a worse leader and CV response than the US & Trump.  Already 19 states have more confirmed cases than China had.  Another 6 states have more cases than all of China outside of Hubei Province.
5K deaths in China compared to 150K and counting in the USofA.
