Wheeler's call for residents to denounce violence comes as both Oregon's governor and state police say they're taking more steps to ensure that people who commit violence are prosecuted.
Gov. Kate Brown has called on outside agencies to assist in cracking down on the unrest, while Oregon State Police will allow troopers responding to protests to be deputized by the US Marshals Service to make it easier to federally prosecute suspects if necessary

This is where we are; the law-and-order "president" has called for his supporters to commit felonies on his behalf and it gets one mention on the forum because, you know, Trump.




 IMPEACH FORTY-FIVE!!!!

kiidcarter8 sees no conflict in Trump calling for criminal acts in his name while claiming to be for law-and-order because he knows what laws and what order Trump is talking about when he says it, and is all for its selective use against the people he doesn't like.

I'd go with Liz Warren.  I think she's fantastic.
A Hillary-Trump rematch would be good.

Or in a grand gesture ... Michelle Obama.
An Obama-Harris ticket would be ridiculously historic, and Trump would probably win against an all-Black female ticket.

Hill's negatives are still ridiculous. Only reason I did not name her. And your conclusion on Michelle aligned with mine.

What I went for was somebody at least as far left as Biden, with a strong positive rating. We have no politicians with the combination of popularity and name recognition to work for an incredibly short campaign - the fight to define them would be vicious. And Oprah would bring some of the same problems that Michelle would, though not all.

It's less that he sees none and more that he doesn't give a damn. "He promised to be a different kind of president, and he is," Kid has said repeatedly. And he pursues what Kid pretends to think are good objectives. (I would phrase it as "pretends to pursue," but that's hare splitting.)

(Poor rabbit.)

"Of course we know there is still going to be more of this disease — this wretched COVID — still to come," Johnson said during a meeting of his Cabinet, with all ministers attending in person for the first time since the U.K. went into a coronavirus lockdown in March.

"Although we know there will be more outbreaks, we are absolutely confident that we are going to be able to deal with those outbreaks, and bit by bit this incredible country is getting back on its feet"


Well said, Boris Johnson

Same goes for US, including at colleges.

Because he is a proven liar.



Who?  The guy on the plane?
What guy? What plane?

Wow,  "Cult 45" is right.   I see a new remake of the Twilight zone "Terror at 20,000 ft. " where the Shatner character realizes everyone on the plane but him is an anarchist,  forget the creature out on the wing.   And maybe,  to double the shock,  it's revealed he's the only cis-male.

Senate races update -

So, you have to flip 3 of the 7 tossups that are currently (R) - and keep your 2.

Good luck.

Another lie uncovered.

Another insult to out troops.

Quote
In the world of President Donald Trump, he has paid his respects to “many, many” returning soldiers killed in the line of duty, with daughter and top presidential aide Ivanka Trump adding that “each time” she has stood by his side at one of these ceremonies, it has hardened his resolve to bring troops home.

In the real world, Trump has traveled to Dover Air Force Base in Delaware exactly four times ― fewer than half as many times as his vice president ― and avoided going at all for nearly two years after getting berated for his incompetence by the father of a slain Navy SEAL, according to a former White House aide who spoke on condition of anonymity.

Kid, who supports anonymous airplane reports but complains about anonymous political reports, will no doubt vacillate between questioning the source and questioning why it matters that the president go, let alone why it matters that he lied (yet again).

And he'll bitch about our belief that Trump is a liar.

Except for her trip to the hairdresser...

which is window dressing, a focus for Kid and the GOP because they have nothing of positive substance to talk about other than the stock market and that news is no longer providing the big positive boost they want and need.
