To the protesters blocking the entrance & exit of the HOSPITAL EMERGENCY ROOM yelling "We hope they die" referring to 2 LA Sheriff's ambushed today in #Compton: DO NOT BLOCK EMERGENCY ENTRIES & EXITS TO THE HOSPITAL. People's lives are at stake when ambulances can't get through.



Good Lord

If only you had had the same reaction when hospitals were being blocked by the anti-mask folks in Michigan.

But you didn't.

I agree that blocking hospital access is bad.

"Now I can be really vicious," said Trump to his rally.

Just like FDR! And Churchill!

"We're going to win four more years in the White House and then after that we'll negotiate, right? Because ...based on the way we were treated, we're probably entitled to another four after that," he said.

Because rules don't apply to him.

Has Doc Rivers cried for these cops yet? How about Kirk Herbstreit? Will any NFL player put their names on his helmet today?

So, you have no idea, after all this time, what the movement is all about. Sad.

Nage, nage, nage is indeed used as a placeholder in Chinese speaking, when thinking of the next thing to say.  And it is pronounced negga which does indeed sound a good deal like ...

I tend to favor using zhege, zhege, zhege (pronounced jegga) which means this, this this. Chinese often using triplicate patterns.  Such as dui 3x, which means correct and in rapid succession sounds like de-de-de, and means you agree.  Like yeah-yeah-yeah.  And repeating good 3x is hao-hao-hao which rapidly sounds like ha-ha-ha sort of laughing.

The niggardly controversy in DC was immensely silly.  The gov't budget guy used the word correctly and was harassed by people who didn't know the meaning.

The "movement" is fine

But when it results in cops being targeted - among other things - it has gone off the rails.

You probably conclude in your mind somehow that though Trump not stating "wear a mask" kills people - BLM and other factions lashing out at cops (an act, not a non act) verbally doesnt incite ambushes

Fine for you.  Sleep well with your dead cop thoughts.

This is who kid is linking you to:

On September 29, 2003, during a segment called 'headlines', where they read and comment about current news stories, Callahan and his morning co-host John Dennis (at WEEI in Boston) made comments that were deemed as racist while discussing a story about an escaped gorilla.[1] The gorilla had escaped from the Franklin Park Zoo and had been recaptured at a bus stop. According to newspaper articles, the exchange allegedly was:[2]

Callahan: "They caught him at a bus stop, right -- he was like waiting to catch a bus out of town."
Dennis: "Yeah, yeah -- he's a METCO gorilla."
Callahan: "Heading out to Lexington."
Dennis: "Exactly."
----

On June 2, 2005 Callahan, who has been accused of making homophobic comments on the air,[by whom?] upset some listeners during interviews with Red Sox CEO Larry Lucchino and relief pitcher Mike Timlin discussing the upcoming visit of Carson Kressley and the cast from Queer Eye at Fenway Park. Kressley and his co-hosts were scheduled to throw out the first pitch at Fenway Park on Sunday, June 5, 2005 before the Red Sox faced the Los Angeles Angels. In questioning Lucchino, Callahan asked if the team had received any complaints about "'fruitcakes sashaying' in front of children and families, and on a Sunday, of all days". In a later interview, Mike Timlin voiced his opinion that "homosexuals are not living correctly". Approached later by reporters from the Boston Globe, station manager Jason Wolfe claimed that Callahan did not object to Kressley being gay, but rather that "it's the openness and the flaunting of it".[18][19]
----
In March 2006, some listeners of the Dennis and Callahan Show were upset when they conducted an in studio interview with Kevin Weeks, a former member of Whitey Bulger's South Boston based criminal organization. Weeks had admitted to committing armed and unarmed assaults, kidnappings and being an accessory to several murders on behalf of Whitey Bulger and had played a role helping Bulger escape arrest.[21] His appearance on the show was to promote his book, Brutal : The Untold Story of My Life Inside Whitey Bulger's Irish Mob (ISBN 0-06-112269-6). Some listeners felt that it was wrong for the show to help Weeks promote his book. Callahan told the Boston Herald that they wrestled with whether to "put this thug on air." but the bottom line, he said, "It's good radio."

Quotes are all from wikipedia.

Peek into the mind of Mr. Callahan.

Then again, I guess he knew his audience; bigots, homophobes, and racists.

In Boston? Who would ever have guessed?

Dude was a passenger in a Lyft that was pulled over. Got his ass whipped by deputies for not producing his ID.

If you ask what did he do to get his ass kicked you’re part of the problem.

Point of clarification. It was Gerry Callahan, the Boston Radio Racist, who put that in his small mind.

“The president was saying something very different and much more alarming to Bob Woodward in private than what he was telling the public,” Wallace stated, adding: “Why not level with the American people, Steve?”

Cortes reiterated that this had occurred during the “fog of war,” prompting the Fox moderator to cut off the Trump flack.

“I’m going to interrupt you right there,” he interjected. “It wasn’t the fog of war. On January 28, the president got his presidential daily brief, the top intelligence in the Oval Office. And at that point, his national security adviser, Robert O’Brien said that this is the biggest challenge you’re going to face in your entire presidency.”

“So there was no fog of war there,” the Fox News host continued. “The word that he was getting from his top intelligence and national security people was that this was a deadly pandemic. There was no fog here.”


 
Cortes objected, yelling that “there was tremendous fog” at the time the president was purposely misleading the American public.

Wallace, meanwhile, noted that Cortes’ insistence that the president was struggling with shifting facts and lack of information flies in the face of the president’s own explanation, which is that he lied to the public because he wanted to exude calmness and avoid panic.

“Steve, your explanation is somewhat different from the president, because you are saying, well, the president didn’t really know, it was the fog of war, but when he has described it, he said he didn’t want to panic the country, he didn’t want to jump up and down and panic the country,” the Fox anchor noted. “One of the reasons that there’s a question about that is because of the fact that the president plays the panic card all the time, especially when he’s talking about Joe Biden.”

After playing a montage of Trump warning supporters that if Biden wins the presidency “rioters and arsonists” will take over the country, Wallace asked Cortes: “Is that a president who is trying to keep the country calm?”

The White House hasn't foggiest notion on how to deal with their "leader".

...Trump this morning tweeted that “animals” shot two Los Angeles County Sheriff’s deputies last night in Compton, California. The two sheriffs were ambushed at point-blank range by an unknown shooter on Saturday night in Compton, a city in South Central Los Angeles.

Trump said the shooter, who fired through the cruiser window at the officers, represented “Animals that must be hit hard!” He added in a second tweet a call for a “quick trial” and “the death penalty” if the officers die.

Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden added similar sentiments this morning, saying, “This cold-blooded shooting is unconscionable and the perpetrator must be brought to justice.”


Animals. White folks know to whom that code word refers.

Notice how Biden sounds like a President, and Trump sounds like guy who spends his days on a bar stool.

Vote early. Vote often.

This is who Trump pardoned:

Roger Stone, whose 40-month prison sentence for lying to Congress and witness tampering in the Russia investigation was commuted by Donald Trump, has said Trump should seize total power and jail prominent figures including Bill and Hillary Clinton and Mark Zuckerberg if he loses to Joe Biden in November.


The long-time Republican dirty trickster, who has a tattoo of Richard Nixon on his back, offered the startling advice on Thursday, in a call to conspiracy theorist Alex Jones’s Infowars online show.

Stone was sentenced in part for lying about contacts with WikiLeaks during the 2016 election regarding emails hacked from Democratic party accounts. In turn, special counsel Robert Mueller and the Senate intelligence committee suspected Trump lied when he said he could not recall discussing the leaks with Stone.

Stone did not turn on the president. He had his sentence reduced on the recommendation of attorney general William Barr but he still faced prison before Trump acted. His conviction stands.

Both men were in Nevada on Saturday, Trump holding campaign events while Stone sought to raise money for himself.


Citing widely debunked claims of fraud around early voting, absentee balloting and voting by mail, Stone told Jones Trump should consider invoking the Insurrection Act and arresting the Clintons, former Senate majority leader Harry Reid, Zuckerberg, Tim Cook of Apple and “anybody else who can be proven to be involved in illegal activity”.

He also said: “The ballots in Nevada on election night should be seized by federal marshals and taken from the state. They are completely corrupted. No votes should be counted from the state of Nevada if that turns out to be the provable case. Send federal marshals to the Clark county board of elections, Mr President!”
