Gee, so surprising.

He needs to be tried as an adult.  He knew what he was doing, he knew why he was there.
He allegedly wanted to be deputized so he can't shrink from the law now after killing two people in cold blood.
TRY HIM AS AN ADULT. SENTENCE HIM TO 45 YEARS.

He can share a cell with his hero, whose further decay he can then watch from a "front row seat."

Just in case the political atmosphere isn't toxic enough for you yet....

In a joint statement, New York Gov. Andrew M. Cuomo and Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer said: “This is nothing more than a transparent politicization of the Department of Justice in the middle of the Republican National Convention. It’s no coincidence the moment the Trump administration is caught weakening the CDC’s COVID-19 testing guidelines to artificially lower the number of positive cases, they launched this nakedly partisan deflection.”

The two governors asserted that at least 14 states — including Kentucky, Utah and Arizona — had issued similar nursing guidance but that only Democratic led states were targeted. All of the guidance, the governors asserted, was “based on federal guidelines.”

Tucker Carlson has it all figured out:

“Our leaders want us to believe this is all a racial conflict, they’re always telling us it is. But they’re lying. It is not a racial conflict. At its deepest level the chaos they have unleashed has very little to do with race. Most Americans are not bigots. Unlike CNN, they’re not fixated on skin color, they don’t really care, most of them.

What you watch is more sinister than that. What you are watching is an effort by the academic left funded by big business, to crush the last remaining resistance to their control of the country and that resistance is an independent American middle class. That’s who they really hate. This is not a race war. This is a class war.”

There are so many holes in his explanation that it is just plain ridiculous. It doesn't even explain last week's news about the mortality rate of Black newborns, let alone the rest of the studies of system racism.

Hey, do you suppose our beloved racist, Ward, is really Tucker Carlson?! Their excuses for reasoning are very similar.

It is a class war all right and Tucker Carlson's handlers are winning.

This from a guy who supports vigilante murder of liberal protesters.

"This is Biden's America" the Republican National Convention was told on Monday night.

But it wasn't America, at all. It was Spain.

Daily Show took out a faux-ad in some major newspapers, offering legal services to a future ex-president.

Orange County has handled the corona crisis very well, UC Irvine has done a great job, and the OC is no longer on the Governor's watch list. UC Irvine is a great research hospital, and if I get the corona virus then I am going to UC Irvine.

This whole crisis sucks, but I am grateful to be living in Orange County during this crisis, the OC is great.

Salute,

Tony V.

  Police also reportedly let the gunman walk past them with a rifle as the crowd yelled for him to be arrested because he had shot people, according to witnesses and video reviewed by the news agency.

The Kenosha sheriff, David Beth, has said the incident was chaotic and stressful.

German told the Guardian on Wednesday: “Far-right militants are allowed to engage in violence and walk away while protesters are met with violent police actions.” This “negligent response”, he added, empowers violent groups in dangerous and potentially lethal ways: “The most violent elements within these far-right militant groups believe that their conduct is sanctioned by the government. And therefore they’re much more willing to come out and engage in acts of violence against protesters.”

I am all in favor of complaining. I think we do a great job of it.

Trump and bush are most alike for their constant stream of failure.

Failure is the defining characteristic of the republican party.

The U.S. lost another million jobs this week.

The painted fascist should give a speech about the record job losses he created and the record wealth he is destroying.
