We are making the best sense today, no question.

Trump may not know church, but he is intimate with the KKK. It is carnal knowledge passed down to him while he was suckling at his father’s teat.

Trump is a thief and a layabout. It’s why he can honestly boast of no accomplishments.

By only cozying up to terrorists, foreign and domestic, trump has dissipated most all of his own power while multiplying the reach of our society’s worst psychopaths.

The gurus of trump’s campaign, disgusted with him, realize he has no appeal. That’s why they stage the lies they stage. It’s good money for the amoral and the evil who understand profiting through sucking up to idiots with control of unearned cash.

Winning support is not an option for the right wing. Breaking elections is all they have left.

Will the Supreme Court grant trump work release to attend the republican national convention?

Views toward Trump, Biden unchanged after the conventions
New ABC News-Ipsos poll finds most Americans disapprove of what Republicans said and did during the RNC



"Around half of Americans report watching at least a little of the event – similar to the DNC’s reported viewership. A majority of Americans disapprove of what the Republicans said and did; however, among those that watched a lot or some, most have a positive view of the Republicans’ message.

"1. Among all Americans, responses to the RNC are more negative than the DNC.

"Slightly more than one in three Americans (37%) approve of what the Republicans said and did at their convention, compared to 59% who disapprove. After the DNC, 53% approved of the Democrats’ message.
Sixty-two percent feel the Republicans spent too much time criticizing the Democrats, compared to 51% of Americans who said Democrats spent too much time criticizing Republicans at their convention."

On September 1, the Maryland State Board of Ed is meeting to impose arbitrary minimums of synchronous time based on grade level- from 3 hours DAILY for Pre-K, to 5 hours daily for high school. This would essentially blow up all of the schedules that have been carefully crafted by each individual school and force everyone to create new schedules - after the school year has already begun, and despite the fact that the state already approved each district's plans last month!

It's all carefully thought out and planned. We should just chill. Kid says so, after all.

New Jersey Teen Who Organized Rally Supporting Black Lives Matter And Affordable Housing Billed For Police Overtime

The town billed her for $2500.
The vid I saw looked like about 15 low-key people standing outside the municipal building in Englewood Cliffs, with signs in daylight, likely late afternoon/early evening.

Quote
“We always bill… the bicycle race or running race or any other event, where our police are used ... people pay for the overtime,” said the mayor.

Pretty clueless.  Billing people for exercising their 1st A assembly rights.
After a day of criticism, the local gov't rescinded the bill, but didn't apologize.

The Justice Dept. never fully examined the question of Trump's ties to Russia.

So terribly surprising.

Kind of like how they (mis-) handled the Kavanaugh situation. "I know nothink."

You certainly are. You are free to organize a peaceful assembly under the Constitution.  But any expenseS are paid by you and your friends.

Reading your accusation that somebody else is clueless, as you mangle yet another simple bit of formatting, is hilarious.

And your position on who pays for what seems pretty peculiar, under the circumstances:
https://www.newsweek.com/donald-trumps-tab-maga-rallies-jumps-18-million-14-cities-say-president-hasnt-paid-police-1498410

Donald Trump's Tab For MAGA Rallies Jumps to $1.8 Million as 14 Cities Say President Hasn't Paid Police Bills, Report Finds

That was in April. I am sure that with his idiotic rallies since then that the amount has climbed. Apparently, repaying cities for his trips that are less blatantly political he can do with federal $$, but these would have to be from his campaign and he is loath to do it.

But Ward? He only cares about the case of the kid raising money who didn't ask for protection.
