Friday Talking Points -- Trump Forced To Reverse Course

[ Posted Friday, July 24th, 2020 – 18:10 UTC ]

President Donald Trump does not like being told what to do. To be fair, very few people ever do. But Trump usually goes his own way and blows off those telling him he must do this or mustn't do that, and things have generally worked out for him in the end anyway. This week, however, was markedly different.

Trump is obviously being told -- over and over again -- that he is going to lose the upcoming election to Joe Biden because the public just does not trust him to handle the current coronavirus crisis (or any other crisis, for that matter). Trump's political advisors evidently made that plain to Trump this week, and forced him to chart a radically different course, in the hopes of salvaging his chances in the election.

The week started off with an announcement that Trump's coronavirus press briefings would suddenly reappear. They disappeared two months ago, right after Trump moronically told everyone that injecting bleach (or "light") might be a dandy way to fight off the infection. Since then, Trump's poll numbers have plummeted as more and more Americans get infected every day (to the tune of almost 70,000 per day now) and the death toll approaches 150,000. Trump's polling is related to his utter failure at handling the crisis, quite obviously. So the White House decided it was time to put Trump in front of the cameras again, in desperation.

Trump has so far (without having watched today's, we should point out) appeared alone at the podium. No doctors, no medical experts, no epidemiologists have appeared with him. Trump woodenly reads his prepared remarks -- with very little deviation from the script -- and then answers a very few questions from reporters. These briefings have been much tighter than before, clocking in at around a half-hour each day. But you just know Trump hates having to read from a script, so we'll have to wait and see how long this state of affairs will last.

The words put into Trump's mouth are also not to his liking, because he had to reverse himself on several major issues this week. First, he has now been talked into wearing a mask and is also (halfheartedly) now endorsing their use by everyone. Second, he flat-out admitted that all his previous rosy talk had been nothing short of lies, finally admitting that the pandemic would: "probably, unfortunately, get worse before it gets better." This may be the first true thing he's ever said about the pandemic -- or the first true thing he's said in the past few months, at any rate.

Of course, being Trump, not everything he said was the truth: "Earlier this week, Trump boasted that his administration has met most governors' requests for supplies. That's not true. Officials in Oregon, Indiana, Georgia, New Hampshire, Alaska, Montana, Wyoming, North Carolina, Maryland, Michigan, Idaho, Utah and Washington told ABC News they are either still waiting for requests to be fulfilled, had identified orders that were never filled or have made requests they understand are still being processed." Maybe this is what Trump was talking about when he tried a last-ditch effort to be cheerful: "The country is in very good shape, other than if you look South and West." Um... OK. If you just don't look at all those dead people, then things are really peachy-keen!

Yesterday was the biggest reversal, however, as Trump pathetically tried to take credit for a decision quite obviously forced upon him by others, as he officially scrapped the plans for his tremendous, powerful convention in Jacksonville, Florida. This was especially embarrassing for Trump, since the whole reason he moved it from Charlotte was so that he could have a big, tightly-packed, maskless crowd cheering his every utterance. Trump petulantly decided to move the convention to Jacksonville in the first place precisely because the Democratic governor of North Carolina refused to allow the Republican National Committee to do whatever it wanted in Charlotte, health restrictions be damned. So all of Trump's window-dressing talk yesterday about how he was only cancelling Jacksonville because of his concern for "safety" was downright laughable.

That's a pretty bad week for Trump, in terms of being told to do things he really didn't want to do. So far, he hasn't totally erupted on Twitter or elsewhere, but that volcano could blow at any moment, really. It usually has at similar times in the past.

Meanwhile, Dr. Anthony Fauci -- who was notably absent from the White House briefing room all week -- got to throw out the first pitch of the truncated baseball season. Both teams kneeled en masse before the game, too. This obviously got under Trump's paper-thin skin, as he had to brag (during a coronavirus press briefing, no less) that he'll be throwing out a first pitch at an unspecified upcoming Yankees game. Too bad there won't be crowds of New Yorkers to let Trump know what they really think of him (as only New Yorkers can...).

Fauci's pitch made most of the distance to the plate, but was pretty wide. Hey, the guy's 79 years old, so that's pretty good. But it did lead to one hilarious line from "The Daily 202" column at the Washington Post: "Tony Fauci threw the first pitch at the Nationals home opener and ensured the ball was socially distant from the catcher." Heh.

Getting back to Trump, though, it's really not that surprising that he is now chafing at being told what he can and cannot do these days, since his poll numbers keep hitting new lows. Trump has now registered in multiple recent national polls down an astonishing 15 points to Joe Biden. But that's not the end of the bad news, since Biden is also beating him in just about every battleground state you can name. Recent Fox News polls showed Trump down 9 points to Biden in Michigan, down 11 points in Pennsylvania, and down 13 points in Minnesota. Another poll showed Biden winning Florida by 13 points. And Trump and Biden are neck and neck (Biden is up one point, but it's essentially a tie) in Texas.

Trump is also losing badly in the suburbs. So Team Trump has come up with a plan to win all those suburban moms and dads back: FEAR! Be afraid! Be very afraid! Because that's all they've got, really.

Trump thinks that changing a federal fair-housing regulation for the express purpose of keeping the suburbs white is going to be some sort of game-changer for him. He bragged about this effort in a recent tweet: "The Suburban Housewives of America must read this article. Biden will destroy your neighborhood and your American Dream. I will preserve it, and make it even better!" Unfortunately for him, the suburbs no longer exist in the 1950s, meaning this nakedly racist attempt at fearmongering will likely fail.

Please remember, Trump tried the same tactic in the 2018 midterms, and it failed pretty miserably back then. Remember all the fearmongering about "the caravan"? Now Trump is fearmongering about colored people being able to (gasp!) move into the suburbs, and fearmongering about (as he puts it): "professional anarchists, violent mobs or arsonists, looters, criminals, rioters, antifa" who will soon be marching from the city centers out to the 'burbs to terrorize the populace and pillage everyone's house. And no, this is not an exaggeration, as Trump's latest campaign ad plainly shows.

Trump is ginning up this fear by sending federal police into cities where they are not wanted, in order to gain some scary television footage he can then use in his political ads. The only problem for him is that most Americans support the protesters, and the videos they are seeing on their evening news show the federal uniformed thugs beating people up and pepper-spraying them while they are offering no resistance at all. A Navy veteran in Portland, Oregon walked up to the federal camo-clad cops and asked them whether they remembered their oath to the Constitution or not. He stands with his hands at his side while the cops spray a chemical weapon in his face and flail on his arms and legs with a nightstick. This resulted in broken bones in one arm. A nude woman (dubbed "Naked Athena") struck yoga poses in front of the riot police, and they shot pepper balls at her feet. That is the kind of thing the American public is seeing, and to say they're not reacting how Trump wants them to is an understatement.

To top off his "law and order" stance, Trump publicly wished accused sex-trafficker and underage pimp Ghislaine Maxwell the best of wishes, from the White House podium: "I just wish her well, frankly." This clip has already been turned into an anti-Trump ad by the Lincoln Project. As well it should be.

So what has Joe Biden been up to this week? He released a video of a chat he had with Barack Obama over Trump's disastrous presidency, and he rolled out a new plan to help actual citizens:

The proposal, which would cost $775 billion over 10 years, would provide universal preschool to 3-and 4-year-old children, fund the construction of new child-care facilities and offer tax credits and grants to help pay for care positions for the young and the elderly.

It would be funded in part by rolling back some tax breaks for real estate investors and by "taking steps to increase tax compliance for high-income earners," according to the Biden campaign.

That's a pretty stark difference between the two candidates' campaigns, you've got to admit. And we now have just over 100 days until the election, folks. Buckle up, though, because this ride is only going to get more frantic as the clock ticks down.

 

Most Impressive Democrat Of The Week

We have two very important awards to hand out, but first there was one tweet which caught our eye: "Gay Vegan Socialist Elected in Brooklyn." This celebrated the fact that there is a progressive tidal wave taking over New York's statehouse, as more and more centrist and even conservative Democrats get primaried out. The Working Families Party claimed 31 victories in New York's recent statehouse races, while the Democratic Socialists of America won four races. This should lead to the most progressive state government ever seen in the Empire State, so congratulations are in order for all of them.

And as usual, there are several groups of Republicans who are ineligible for any of our awards but who are nonetheless churning out great anti-Trump ads that are highly amusing to watch. One of these groups is even called "Republican Voters Against Trump," just to twist the knife.

But there were two Democrats who really stood out this week. The first, Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, was easily the Most Impressive Democrat Of The Week for her firm response to an ugly event that took place on the Capitol steps. Here was the initial report, from The Hill:

Rep. Ted Yoho (R-Fla.) was coming down the steps on the east side of the Capitol on Monday, having just voted, when he approached [Rep. Alexandria] Ocasio-Cortez, who was ascending into the building to cast a vote of her own.

In a brief but heated exchange, which was overheard by a reporter, Yoho told Ocasio-Cortez she was "disgusting" for recently suggesting that poverty and unemployment are driving a spike in crime in New York City during the coronavirus pandemic.

"You are out of your freaking mind," Yoho told her.

Ocasio-Cortez shot back, telling Yoho he was being "rude."

The two then parted ways. Ocasio-Cortez headed into the building, while Yoho, joined by Rep. Roger Williams (R-Texas), began descending toward the House office buildings. A few steps down, Yoho offered a parting thought to no one in particular.

"Fucking bitch," he said.

Ocasio-Cortez has been (we apologize for using this term, but we feel it is entirely justified in this instance) bitch-slapping Yoho around, ever since. Her first reaction was to tweet:

I never spoke to Rep. Yoho before he decided to accost me on the steps of the nation's Capitol yesterday.

Believe it or not, I usually get along fine w/ my GOP colleagues. We know how to check our legislative sparring at the committee door.

But hey, "b*tches" get stuff done.

This is a callback to a brilliant appearance by Tina Fey on Saturday Night Live back when Hillary Clinton was running against Barack Obama for the 2008 Democratic presidential nomination, we should point out (just in case you've never seen the hilarious video).

Yoho was then forced (by his own party's leadership, most likely) to issue one of those non-apology apologies, on the House floor. In it, he offered up some caveat-filled nonsense: "The offensive name-calling words attributed to me by the press were never spoken to my colleagues, and if they were construed that way, I apologize for their misunderstanding." Please note that he is not actually denying he said the words, just that he never said them "to my colleagues." In other words, it was OK because I didn't say it to her face, just to a reporter. No biggie, right?

He also wrapped himself in some rather impressive folderol, after pointing out that he has a wife and two daughters: "I cannot apologize for my passion or for loving my God, my family, and my country."

The next day, Ocasio-Cortez rose to give her own House floor speech. This video has already been viewed millions of times, and we heartily encourage everyone who hasn't to watch her entire speech, because it is indeed one for the ages.

After repeating Yoho's ugly words verbatim -- just in case anyone missed the news stories -- Ocasio-Cortez took the moral high road, while rejecting Yoho's "excuses" and non-apology:

Mr. Yoho mentioned that he has a wife and two daughters. I am two years younger than Mr. Yoho's youngest daughter. I am someone's daughter, too. My father, thankfully, is not alive to see how Mr. Yoho treated his daughter. My mother got to see Mr. Yoho's disrespect on the floor of this House towards me on television, and I am here because I have to show my parents that I am their daughter and that they did not raise me to accept abuse from men.

. . .

Having a daughter does not make a man decent. Having a wife does not make a decent man. Treating people with dignity and respect makes a decent man.

. . .

When you do that to any woman, what Mr. Yoho did was give permission to other men to do that to his daughters. In using that language in front of the press, he gave permission to use that language against his wife, his daughters, women in his community and I am here to stand up to say that is not acceptable.

This is truly a historic feminist speech, even though it is only about ten minutes long. Ocasio-Cortez got a whole hour to speak, and after her own short address, deferred to other House members who echoed her sentiments. It was beyond impressive, all around. Which is why A.O.C. is easily our Most Impressive Democrat Of The Week.

But we've also got one more award to hand out, a Most Impressive Democrat Lifetime Achievement Award, which must be issued posthumously to Representative John Lewis.

John Lewis was the youngest person to speak at Martin Luther King Jr.'s "March On Washington" rally at the Lincoln Memorial, and he was the last surviving person who spoke to the crowd that day. To say an era has closed with his passing is not an overstatement at all. Lewis was an outsized presence for good in national politics, but he will perhaps best be remembered for being the first person to be savagely beaten by the police at the Edmund Pettus Bridge in Selma, Alabama, in March of 1965. Never forget that Lewis rose to fame for protesting injustice. Those protesting in the streets today owe him an enormous debt, in other words.

Lewis was also an incredibly moral and righteous presence in Congress, of course, which is one reason why he's going to lie in state in the Capitol next week. But Democrats should really honor his memory by making a concerted and massive push to pass a new voting rights act, to replace the one the Supreme Court all but threw out. This effort has been going on a long time, and Nancy Pelosi has already passed several voting rights bills, but they should now all be consolidated into one piece of legislation that bears his name: the John Lewis Voting Rights Act.

This would truly be the best way to honor his memory. All we can do ourselves is to give him our own Most Impressive Democrat Lifetime Achievement Award, which is a poor substitute indeed.

[Congratulate Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez on her House contact page, to let her know you appreciate her efforts. And there will be a public viewing of John Lewis on the steps of the Capitol (since the Rotunda would be less safe) next week, for anyone who wants to pay their respects.]

 

Most Disappointing Democrat Of The Week

This one is pretty easy, even if he's been out of the public eye for four decades. Here's the whole sordid story:

Michael "Ozzie" Myers was indicted earlier this week on charges of "conspiring to violate voting rights by fraudulently stuffing the ballot boxes for specific candidates in the 2014, 2015, and 2016 primary elections, bribery of an election official, falsification of records, voting more than once in federal elections, and obstruction of justice," according to a Justice Department statement.

Myers served as the representative for Pennsylvania's 1st Congressional District from November 1976 until October 1980, when he became the first lawmaker to be expelled from the House of Representatives since the Civil War after being ensnared in the FBI sting operation known as Abscam.

During an exchange with an undercover agent posing as an intermediary for a fictional Arab sheikh, Myers was infamously recorded saying, "Money talks in this business and bullshit walks." He was subsequently convicted of bribery and conspiracy charges, and sentenced to serve three years in prison in 1981.

Myers is now charged "with conspiring with and bribing" former Philadelphia Judge of Elections Domenick Demuro, who pleaded guilty in March and was convicted in May for "his role in accepting bribes to cast fraudulent ballots and certifying false voting results during the 2014, 2015, and 2016 primary elections" in the city, according to the Justice Department.

This is not exactly helpful right now, obviously. 'Nuff said. Myers was easily the winner of this week's Most Disappointing Democrat Of The Week award.

[Michael "Ozzie" Myers is a private citizen, and our blanket policy is not to provide contact information for such persons, sorry.]

 

Friday Talking Points

Volume 583 (7/24/20)

We have a rather mixed and varied bag of talking points this week. As always, please use responsibly.

 

1
   Worse indeed

Ya think?

"President Trump finally was forced to admit this week that the coronavirus pandemic is, quote, going to get worse before it gets better, unquote. After pushing states to reopen their economies dangerously early and thus guaranteeing a much wider outbreak, Trump has finally realized that he has massively screwed up. And things are getting worse incredibly fast. When the virus first hit, it took 45 days for the second million Americans to become infected. We then went from two million to three million infected in 27 days. It has taken only 15 days to add the fourth million. These are real people, Mister President, and they're getting sick and dying at an accelerated rate. The daily death totals has risen once again to over 1,000 per day. That is 1,000 families who have lost a loved one each and every day. We are fast heading toward the milestone of 150,000 Americans dead. How many of those could have easily been prevented if Trump hadn't rushed reopening? Sadly, we will never know."

 

2
   It's back to school time!

This is a pathetically easy line to draw -- so draw it!

"Donald Trump moved his convention speech from North Carolina to Florida because he thought he could dictate his own rules for the crowd there, after a Democratic governor told him North Carolina's health safety rules would not be waived. Now Trump has been forced to cancel his Jacksonville rally because he says he's very concerned with everyone's safety. That's all pretty laughable when you think about it, but what is definitely not funny at all is that Trump is still pushing very hard for every schoolchild in America to go back to physical classrooms in the fall, no matter how safe it is for them to do so. Which means Trump cares more about Republican politicians at his convention than he does for your own children."

 

3
   Or maybe there was another reason...

Shades of Tulsa?

"There is already a lot of speculation that Trump really cancelled his big convention speech because he knew how few prominent Republicans were even going to bother to show up. It'd be pretty embarrassing to have most of the congressional Republicans sit out their own party's convention, after all. And what would it have done for Trump's re-election campaign if he spoke to a crowd as pathetically small as showed up at his last rally, in Tulsa? In other words: what if a president gave a nomination acceptance speech and nobody came?"

 

4
   McConnell dithers while Rome burns

Senate Republicans deserve all the scorn Democrats can heap upon them, at this particular moment in time.

"Mitch McConnell said, many weeks ago, back when the Democratic House passed a new coronavirus relief bill, that everyone should just take a 'pause.' We'd have plenty of time before the August vacation to put together some sort of bill, if we even needed one, McConnell told everyone. He promised a Republican draft bill would be released at the start of this week. And yet all week long Republicans dithered among themselves and achieved nothing. And let me point out that these disagreements are entirely within the Republican Party, because they have refused to even begin the negotiations with Democrats over what will be in the bill. This is Republican-on-Republican incompetence, folks, plain and simple. Meanwhile, more people filed for unemployment this week than last, the unemployment aid from the previous bailout bill is about to expire for tens of millions of families, the protections against evictions are also about to end, and the number of cases of coronavirus continues to skyrocket because of the complete absence of any leadership from Washington. In normal times, Republicans incompetently wasting a bunch of time would be rather amusing, but these days it is nothing short of deadly. People are dying out there, Mitch, so please do your job so Democrats can begin to fix whatever inadequate bill you finally come up with. This is no laughing matter."

 

5
   Republicans in disarray!

We wrote about this yesterday, in much more detail, if anyone's interested.

"While we've all grown used to seeing utter chaos from the White House, it has now spread to the entire Republican Party, it seems. While Trump flails around on issues both foreign and domestic, Senate Republicans still haven't agreed among themselves what should be in the next pandemic relief bill. In the House, some Tea Partiers are leading a push to oust Liz Cheney from their leadership, because she believes Anthony Fauci more than she believes Trump. Trump cancelled his big convention speech because so few congressional Republicans were even going to show up, and Republicans are deeply split on the issue of the Confederacy. A bill passed the House this week to remove Confederate statues from the Capitol, and over 70 Republicans voted for it. The Defense Department budget bill passed (in different form) both houses of Congress with veto-proof margins, even though both bills would force the Pentagon to rename the bases that honor Confederate officers. Trump has said he'll veto it, but if he does it'll likely be the first time a Trump veto is overturned. Meanwhile, Maryland Governor Larry Hogan revealed that several of Trump's own cabinet members begged him to run against Trump this year. The Republican Party seems to be splintering and only concerned with arguing among themselves. There's really only one newspaper headline possible, in fact: Republicans In Disarray."

 

6
   Who could he possibly have in mind?

Democrats are also moving forward on a House bill that would rein in the presidential pardon power, and an amendment to this bill was just offered by Representative Jamie Raskin of Maryland. The amendment would make it illegal for a president to pardon themselves. One wonders if Raskin has anyone in particular in mind -- see if you can tell from his statement about his amendment:

It is essential that Congress clarify right now that no president of any party can use his pardon power to pardon himself or commute his own sentence. If we don't make that essential constitutional truth clear, a corrupt and incorrigible president could embezzle from the government, take bribes for pardoning criminals, engage in foreign money laundering schemes, commit massive tax fraud, aid and abet sex traffickers, and obstruct justice by covering up all these crimes -- and then simply pardon himself or herself to permanently avoid prosecution for these crimes for all time.

 

7
   Flee for the hills!

Hypocrisy rears its racist head, once again.

"Does anyone remember the massive hissy fit Republicans pitched when President Barack Obama appeared in a tan suit in the Oval Office? Back in those days, Republicans had to work hard to manufacture reasons to be outraged at the first Black man to hold the office, of course, and this is a prime example. They expressed their outrage (while clutching firmly at their pearls) over the disrespect shown the Oval Office by such informal attire. So I certainly was waiting to hear the same outrage expressed this week, when Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell appeared in an Oval Office meeting with the president in a tan suit. However, for some strange reason, zero Republicans seemed to be offended by it. Funny thing, that, isn't it?"

    * Reading the text of Rep Ocasio-Cortez's statement is NOT sufficient to convey the full impact. She was "cool as a cucumber" as she evicerated her "colleague" with his own words (or should I say "hoisted with his own petard"?). For me, the most moving moment of the entire 8+ minutes was her voice quavering when she referenced HER father.
    * In one of the 'life in pictures' of Rep Lewis that I saw this week were several pictures of him still going strong later in life. One was of him participating in a sit-in against gun violence (in the House Chambers, no less). He lived his principles until his dying day.

    Setting aside the slave-owning Presidents before the Civil War, surely Biden read at least one article about Andrew Jackson after Trump named him his 'favorite president'? Could Biden have possibly ignored all of the articles about Andrew Johnson written during the recent House proceedings and Senate trial? I finally learned the true reason that he was the first President to be impeached: yes, he 'defied Congress' (what I was taught), but the motivation was to subvert the Republicans' legislation which guaranteed the newly-freed slaves the same rights as their former owners.

    Democrats are now the riot party

    For almost two months, Portland has been under siege from antifa and other extremists. These troops of the left terrorize the downtown area every night. They with paramilitary precision. As organized anarchists, they deploy a wide array of less than lethal weapons to wound police, ranging from bats and bricks to lasers shot in the eyes of officers to permanently damage their sight. All of this is to further their goal to overturn our society and radically transform the country.

    If the news media cared to tell the public the truth, it would have been a top story on nightly broadcasts for weeks. The antifa rioters even tried to break into and burn down a federal courthouse in the city. The campaign of intimidation and destruction is plainly domestic terrorism. But the one reason the siege on Portland has become a major news story is because the administration is trying to restore law and order to the beleaguered city, and Democrats hysterically oppose any such action.

    President Trump has rightly sent in federal reinforcements to Portland, while many Democrats have circled the wagons on behalf of anarchism. Speaker Nancy Pelosi referred to federal agents deployed to Portland as storm troopers. Other members of her party have spoken of federal law enforcement officers as some sort of invading army unwelcome in urban centers. New York Mayor Bill de Blasio, deep into his campaign to utterly ruin that city, declared that he would take Trump to court if any federal officers were deployed to address the surging violence there.

    This reaction is stunningly reckless and cynical, even for Democrats in an important election year. But it is not in the least surprising as the wave of uprisings against the police have quickly become a political liability. What started as the resurrection of the Black Lives Matter movement has since morphed into a general mobilization of activists and marxists who seek to turn this country into a social justice utopia. They have to focus on Trump at the moment, or else more Americans might start to figure out what lunacy the left is inflicting on Portland, among other places.

    Democrats’ Pennsylvania Trouble

    The party’s economic policies are alienating working-class voters.

    Earlier this month, Joe Biden announced his economic plan near his hometown of Scranton, part of the anthracite coal region that once fueled America’s industrial ascendance and, in 2016, secured Donald Trump’s presidential victory. Biden’s remarks were filled with the populist rhetoric that resonates with working-class voters, yet this crucial electoral demographic remains apprehensive about Democratic policies. This is especially true in Pennsylvania, where Democrats’ positions on energy and the Covid-19 lockdowns are alienating, rather than attracting, the blue-collar voters who, for decades, formed the party’s political foundation.

    Polls consistently show Biden leading in Pennsylvania, a largely suburban state where regions like Philadelphia’s “collar” counties, metro Harrisburg, and the Lehigh Valley increasingly trend Democratic. But Biden’s favorable position doesn’t translate into a preference for his party’s economic platform. One recent poll, for instance, showed Trump leading his Democratic opponent by a 51-36 margin among those who see the economy as the top issue. As Jim Lee, president and CEO of Susquehanna Polling and Research, which conducted the poll, told a local Fox affiliate: “If this becomes an economy pocketbook election, you can’t rule Donald Trump out because, on the key issue most voters care about, he’s winning among jobs voters.”

    fair enough. i DO NOT accept the CDC's "wisdom" on covid. period, full stop. their data i accept, but their opinions are currently compromised by political concerns.

    Correct. In May, the CDC had already issued their guidelines for reopening of schools which features a checklist broken into three sets of criteria, all of which the CDC recommended to be met before schools could consider reopening but which tracked closely with the CDC guidelines for reopening of states: "It is important to check with state and local health officials and other partners to determine the most appropriate actions while adjusting to meet the unique needs and circumstances of the local community," according to the CDC document, containing hyperlinks throughout with additional information:

    Should you consider opening?

    * Will reopening be
    consistent with applicable
    state and local orders?

    * Is the school ready to
    protect children and
    employees at higher risk
    for severe illness?

    * Are you able to screen
    students and employees
    upon arrival for symptoms
    and history of exposure?

    ANY NO
    DO NOT OPEN

    CDC Guidelines: Schools During the COVID-19 Pandemic

    [guidelines with hyperlinks at link above]

    *
    July 8: Donald Trump criticized the guidelines on Twitter:

    "I disagree with @ CDCgov on their very tough & expensive guidelines for opening schools. While they want them open, they are asking schools to do very impractical things. I will be meeting with them!!!"

    In addition to threatening to cut funding to schools who don't reopen, Trump stated, despite resurgence in multiple states that reopened at Trump's insistence and against CDC guidelines:

    We're very much going to put pressure on governors and everybody else to open the schools, to get them open.

    ~ Donald Trump, July 8

    *
    July 9: CDC says they will not rewrite guidelines for reopening despite the criticism from Trump.

    Fast forward to this week where the CDC has issued new guidelines that were edited and approved by the White House, but Friday, Robert Redfield, CDC director concedes that schools located in "hot spots" face a tougher call on whether or not to reopen.

    The leader of the nation’s premier public health agency Friday amplified President Trump’s call for schools to reopen, releasing new documents edited by the White House that gloss over risks and extol the benefits of in-person learning.

    Still, Robert Redfield, director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, said there should be exceptions for “hot spots,” and he used a metric that would include parts of at least 33 states.
    ...
    On Friday, Redfield told reporters the new documents were cleared by the White House, and officials familiar with them, speaking on the condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to speak publicly, said at least one was substantially edited by White House officials. The opening statement was written at the Department of Health and Human Services, Redfield said.
    ...
    On Thursday, Trump said schools may need to delay reopening in places that are “current hot spots,” and on Friday, Redfield echoed the thought. “In areas where there are hot spots, remote and distance learning may need to be adopted for some amount of time,” Redfield told reporters on a call to discuss the new guidelines.

    CDC director concedes schools in ‘hot spots’ face tougher call on reopening

    *
    Repeat: On Thursday, Donald Trump said schools may need to delay reopening in places that are "current hot spots." On Friday, yesterday, Redfield echoed the thought: "In areas where there are hot spots, remote and distance learning may need to be adopted for some amount of time." Redfield conceded this fact on a call to reporters to discuss the new guidelines.

    During the call, Redfield was asked to define "hot spots," and he said they included places where more than 5% of coronavirus tests come back positive, and by Redfield's definition that includes large sections of the country. Over the past week, data from Johns Hopkins University indicates that 33 states and Puerto Rico have "positivity rates" above 5% and 12 states have rates over 10%.

    In Florida, there are only two (2) counties at the current time where rates are below the CDC definition of "hot spot," and those are Alachua County and Bay County, which combine for about only 2% of the population of Florida.

    In Arizona, there is only one (1) county at the current time where rates are below the CDC definition of "hot spot," and that is Greenlee County with a population of less than 10,000.

    Florida and Arizona have overall positivity rates well above 10 percent, and the positivity rate of the United States is 10%, according to the CDC.

    So there you have it. Trump and the CDC have both conceded that parts of the United States that are hot spots may have to delay reopening.

    This ain't rocket science, but it is definitely science.

    Exactly. Also, there was a discussion just yesterday between Redfield and reporters wherein he made the concessions regarding "hot spots." Trump also made those same concessions on Thursday, as CW rightly explained, Donald has been ordered to stay "on script" by his handlers, but who knows how long it will last?

    Season Two begins with masks now being "patriotic" versus "against our freedoms" as well as "things getting worse before they get better" and concessions regarding "hot spots" and the reopening of schools. How much longer can Trump stay on script?

    It's important to separate the political agenda of the White House from the CDC data. New York, the Northeast and North are looking well, having largely ignored the Trump agenda and having their statehouses stormed by armed protesters while following the guidelines of the CDC and ignoring the Trumpian BS. Meanwhile, in those states with governors who rushed to follow and ignored the CDC guidelines... well, I know I don't have to tell you "the proof is in the pudding."

    And now... pie! :)

    did you like only read the first half of the sentence? if not for covid, a majority of those people would still be alive.

    Personally, I don't see any back up of the 6% number and I think the juries still out on that. Cornoavirus is known to attack just about every organ in the body. You might have liver problems that would eventually kill you but COVID-19 made the problem worse and you die, is it the pre-existing liver problem, COVID-19 or both that caused it? Can counting systems account for more than one cause? There are some studies that point to the vast majority of deaths were from pneumonia, which is a symptom of COVID-19 and therefore directly attributed to Coronavirus.

    Let's see you back up the 6% with real science before calling it a "fact"...

    The park was particularly silent for the moment with no fans in the stands because of the risks and worries of COVID-19, a pre-recorded rendition of the Star-Spangled Banner was played and every player and coach “took a knee” on the grass, for about 20 seconds.

    A special agent with the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF), said the firearm was equipped with an auto-sear device, or “switch,” allowing the gun to fire more than one shot without manually reloading, the complaint states.

    More accurately, there was no change in meaning from what DeMint said than what was actually said..

    BOTH contained the same meaning that keeping schools closed is bad for children..

    The other point about this is we are talking about children as if they were in a bubble. In a pandemic, the needs of the rest of society might be more than than the needs of a smaller subset. The original CDC guidelines were more along these lines. Children are not immune to coronavirus. Quite the contrary, they are asymptomatic super spreaders. Especially the 10-19 age group.

    Joshua,

    Have you heard about the 4 day/lockdown cycle where people go back to work and school for 4 days and then lockdown for 10 days and repeat.

    The idea is that if you get the virus it takes about 3 days to be infectious and by the fifth to tenth day when you are most infectious you'll be in isolation with the possibility of transmission being limited to household members where studies have shown the transmission to be relatively low.

    This is supposed to reduce the reproductive number to less than one so the virus is under control relatively quickly.

    Should Congress extend the $600 per week Unemployment Insurance bonus or not? A quote from The Atlantic.

    The bonus payment surely does create some disincentive for the jobless to look for work and take the first thing that comes along. But the main things preventing workers from getting a job right now are the raging pandemic, the massive recession, and the necessity for extended public-health shutdowns caused by the federal government’s incompetent response to the virus. Businesses are dying; jobless workers outnumber open positions by four to one; many open positions are too dangerous for workers who are elderly, have preexisting medical conditions, or live with someone with health problems; millions of workers do not have adequate child care, with schools and daycare centers still closed; and demand for goods and services is weak across the economy. These, not the bonus payments, are the real sticking points.

    Get your facts straight or hit the road...

    I love it when your dementia starts to show! The CDC cannot study GUN VIOLENCE as a threat to public health because the Dickey Act prevents it from doing so. We’ve argued about this in the past, and it’s amazing that you’ve gone from arguing that it is GOOD that they cannot study the effects of gun violence on public health to arguing that it is BAD that they are studying it...which, for the record, would be FAR inside their purview if they did!

    It’s telling that you think that if they did study the effects of gun violence on public health, their recommendation would include increased gun control restrictions. Yes, the answer is that obvious to even the dumbest and most uninformed citizens — as you have demonstrated.

    He's not confused about the concept, JL. George Floyd was deprived of oxygen which two autopsies state was the primary cause of his death. Meanwhile, there are those like Mike who insist lack of oxygen had nothing to do with it.

    They are definitely undercounting the COVID deaths in the VA Hospitals as they've been ordered. Some veterans and their family members dying directly of COVID are being listed as pneumonia, heart disease, lung disease, etc., but COVID was the killer, and that's been going on since the first deaths in March.

One critical question is why this young woman would repeatedly return to parties where she claims to have witnessed gang rapes of drugged women.

    I simply refuse to associate with people who accept that a college woman who attends high school gang rape parties on multiple occasions and who parties next to children being drugged and gang raped is credible..

    People who think that SUCH actions are irrelevant and that the ONLY part that is important is who this scumbag is accusing...

    In other words, people who support the drugging and gang rape of children in order to push a Party agenda...

    Portland Tells Feds To Take Down Fence Protecting Courthouse Or They’ll Sue

    Portland, OR – The City of Portland has threatened to slap the federal government with “fines and potential legal action” if they refuse to remove the protective fencing surrounding a downtown federal courthouse.

    The Mark O. Hatfield Federal Courthouse has come under attack on a nightly basis over the course of the past two months.

    Rioters have repeatedly fired mortars and other projectiles at federal officers, sprayed the building with graffiti, broken windows, attempted to barricade exits, and ignited fires inside and outside of the building during overnight attacks.

    Portland business owners have further reported a staggering $23 million in losses due to rioting and looting in the downtown area, FOX News reported.

    Although the fence has provided federal officers with some level of protection, rioters have incessantly attempted to tear it down.
    https://bluelivesmatter.blue/portland-tells-feds-to-take-down-fence-protecting-courthouse-or-theyll-sue/

    It Doesn’t End Well

    The hooligans smashing up courthouses and police stations as they pursue indiscriminate carnage are fired by the same unholy “train of disorderly appetites” that Edmund Burke anatomized 230 years ago.

    Denis Diderot, model of the French Enlightenment that he was, gave memorable expression to that movement’s inveterate anti-clericalism. “Man will never be free,” said the energetic Encyclopédiste, “until the last king is strangled with the entrails of the last priest.”

    They don’t talk much about kings and priests, but the civilization-hating anarchists of the Black Lives Matter movement would applaud Diderot’s sentiments. Although they sometimes wrap their destructive actions in fine-sounding rhetoric about justice and anti-racism, what they are really about is hate.

    Recapping Thursday’s madness, White House Press Secretary Kayleigh McEnany noted that “A federal agent’s hand was impaled by planted nails, another federal agent was shot with a pellet gun, leaving a wound deep to the bone, and tragically, three federal officers were likely left permanently blinded by the rioters using lasers pointed directly into their eyes.”

Are the latter pleased by the news emanating from Portland and similar enclaves of vicious woke sentimentality?

    Please don’t talk to me about the violent career criminal George Floyd. As I have noted repeatedly, the violence engulfing various Democratic-controlled cities has nothing to do with Floyd’s demise. “The death of George Floyd in Minneapolis on May 25,” I wrote in early June “is merely the pretext for the violence. The cause is hatred.”

    History, Burke writes mid-way through Reflections on the Revolution in France, consists largely of “miseries brought upon the world by pride, ambition, avarice, revenge, lust, sedition, hypocrisy, ungoverned zeal, and all the train of disorderly appetites.” It is this unappeasable fountain of human nature that disrupts our social life with (here Burke quotes Spenser) “troublous storms that toss / The private state, and render life unsweet.”

    “miseries brought upon the world by pride, ambition, avarice, revenge, lust, sedition, hypocrisy, ungoverned zeal, and all the train of disorderly appetites.”

    Burke’s point is that “Wise men will apply their remedies to vices, not to names; to the causes of evil which are permanent, not to the occasional organs by which they act, and the transitory modes in which they appear.”

    We look at the streets of Portland and other cities, we listen to the Marxist rhetoric strained through the filter of racial redress, and we—some of us—feel that some great wrong is being expiated. In reality, the old wrong of that Hobbesian “perpetual and restless desire of power after power, that ceaseth only in death” is making its way in the world in a new disguise. But the fact of the disguise is hardly surprising. “Seldom,” Burke writes, “have two ages the same fashion in their pretexts and the same modes of mischief.”

    Wickedness is a little more inventive. Whilst you are discussing fashion, the fashion is gone by. The very same vice assumes a new body. The spirit transmigrates; and, far from losing its principle of life by the change of its appearance, it is renovated in its new organs with the fresh vigour of a juvenile activity. It walks abroad; it continues its ravages, whilst you are gibbeting the carcass, or demolishing the tomb. You are terrifying yourself with ghosts and apparitions, whilst your house is the haunt of robbers. It is thus with all those, who, attending only to the shell and husk of history, think they are waging war with intolerance, pride, and cruelty, whilst, under colour of abhorring the ill principles of antiquated parties, they are authorizing and feeding the same odious vices in different factions, and perhaps in worse.

    It's almost as if Burke wrote about what is occurring in the here and now..

    What's occurring in Portland and Seattle and all over the country (Democrat cities only.. Funny that, eh?) is simply history re-repeating itself...

    History to the revolutionary spirit is but a gigantic warehouse of resentment and a toolbox of repudiation. Who is pure enough to survive such scrutiny? “It is not very just,” Burke writes, “to chastise men for the offences of their natural ancestors; but to take the fiction of ancestry in a corporate succession, as a ground for punishing men who have no relation to guilty acts, except in names and general descriptions, is a sort of refinement in injustice belonging to the philosophy of this enlightened age.”

    You might think that thugs rampaging through the streets of our cities are imperfect representatives of any “enlightened age.” In fact, ignorant though they are, they are proud and legitimate progeny of that echt Enlightenment figure Karl Marx, whose abiding passion was hatred of the civilization that created him and whose legacy was tyranny, immiseration, and death—wrapped up, naturally, in sweet-sound bulletins about the brotherhood of man and the ultimate emancipation of human aspiration.

    The messengers have changed their garb, but the hooligans smashing up courthouses and police stations as they pursue a course of indiscriminate carnage are fired by that same unholy “train of disorderly appetites” that Burke anatomized. We’ve been here, done that, and believe me, it does not end well.

    The Democrats’ Cargo Cult

    Once ensconced, the Democrats, really the Marxian vanguard of the proletariat, will never leave office or relinquish power—ever again.

    Cargo ritual, or cargo cult, is a religious practice whereby relatively primitive societies attempt to conjure up modern technology or lifestyle advancements through ritualistic behavior. Classic examples include the building of an airplane runway in the hopes of materializing the kind of cargo that airplanes bring, or building radios out of coconuts and straw.

    The Democratic Party has been running a cargo cult for some decades. It is placing a bet that its latest savior figure, Sleepy Joe Biden, albeit an empty senile shell of a cult leader, can do it again and fool the people—one more time. As Biden is wont to say, “C’mon man.”

    During World War II, Americans landed their huge aircraft, big bombers and fighters, all over the Pacific islands of Melanesia. The local natives came to love “Joe From,” (a.k.a. G. I. Joe from somewhere stateside). The planes would drop their goods, i.e., cargo, and the people got stuff like free soft drinks, canned Spam, chewing gum, and candy bars. They became totally addicted to it.

    But then the war ended, and the planes stopped arriving.

    Ignorant as to why, the islanders built their own bamboo and wooden planes, many life-sized, beckoning the return of yet more cargo. It didn’t cause them to come.

    Such cargo cults are a phenomenon around the world, from Papua New Guinea to Guinea, and from Guinea-Bissau to British Guinea—continents apart. All are premised on more or less the same design.

    This is very interesting.. I never knew about this Cargo Cult concept...

    I surely fits the concept that the Democrat/AntiFa/BlackLiesMatter Party is neck deep in right now..

    But, back to the Democrat/AntiFa/BlackLiesMatter Party's Cargo Cult...

    Radically new-age, millenarian false religions, “cargo cults,” were all inaugurated by cataclysmic events that destroyed the old order and brought paradisal plenty, together with freedom and justice that involved the reversal of the positions of white foreigners and indigenous peoples.

    Joe from Delaware (or is it Scranton?) and his pseudo-religious—well, actually, now more a secular Marxist—party is promising the return of cargo to those who just believe in him or a slim chimera of him. And the inner-cities, blue state kleptocracies and emerging autonomous (anarchic) zones, as well as the Democratic-controlled “shithole” wards—from West Baltimore to the Bronx and from Compton to Metcalfe Park, all fall in line. They believe.

    The handouts and promises are just too good to pass up. More, please. More!

    Like the related 1960s cartoon, “Clutch Cargo,” Clutch Biden is out to save the oppressed and downtrodden. That animated television series centered on dangerous adventures and missions to save the world. It was later voted the seventh-worst television production in history but in its day, it had plenty of followers and a cool bongo lead in.

    Play those bongos again brothers and sisters, Clutch Biden will deliver. It may take help this time from the AOC crowd or “the (Firing) Squad,” as it is commonly known, as well as threats from Antifa and the bigoted rioters, but Joe and his soon-to-be-released, female action-figure, vice president of color, premised on Shuri in the fictional kingdom of Wakanda, will Remake America.

    This time the cargo cult will be bigger and better than ever. It has to be.

    WOW.. This guy has Biden's and the Democrat/AntiFa/BlackLiesMatter Party's number down pat!! :D

    It's hilarious how those guys over at American Greatness nails the Democrat/AntiFa/BlackLiesMatter Party perfectly... :D

    Take a hard look at Biden.

    By Angela Kelley •

    We say it every election year: It’s more important than ever to vote this November! This year it truly means the life or death of American freedom.

    It might sound melodramatic, but I believe we only have a little over three months to save our Republic from the Marxist Left that wants to destroy it. It’s live-free-or-die time, folks. If Joe Biden and his shadow people win the election in November, we will never again see the greatness of the United States of America in our lifetime.

    Take a hard look at Joe.

    Oh boy.. THIS is going to be fun.. :D A hoot..

    Biden first won his Senate seat in 1972, a whopping 48 years ago. This 77-year-old man is hardly one of the “new voices” that Senator Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.) is calling for on her Twitter videos. Biden was good friends with Senator Robert Byrd (D-W.V.), a former KKK Exalted Cyclops. Biden once opposed busing and embraced segregation. His campaign got lots of money from the banking industry lobby, and interestingly, he made it harder for people to file bankruptcy, while making sure student debt couldn’t be part of bankruptcy protections.

    Joe sponsored the 1994 crime bill that so many blame for putting vast numbers of minorities behind bars for relatively minor crimes. He backed the Iraq war. He calls himself “Middle-Class Joe,” but he has “taken in more than $15 million since leaving the Obama White House.” He may deny the credible sexual assault allegations of his former staffer, Tara Reade, but we’ve all seen the dozens of creepy videos of Joe touching women and children inappropriately, and his weird comments about kids rubbing his legs at the pool.

    Biden was accused of plagiarism, which led him to drop out of the 1988 presidential race. He lied to voters about his education. He calls would-be supported lying dog-faced pony soldiers, tells them that “you ain’t black” if African Americans don’t vote for him, and frequently tells people not to vote for him.

    Once again, the question must be asked..

    Can we all just agree that Joe has some significant memory loss and shows signs that he is probably experiencing dementia? He knows it. His wife knows it. His staff know it. He’s running to be a one-term president. Everyone understands he won’t really be in charge. Shouldn’t we demand to be able to vote for an actual candidate rather than an imposter with shadow people running the game?

    Who will people really be voting for when they pull the lever for Joe Biden? The vice president will be the actual person in charge, as well as Bernie Sanders, that great thinker Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, and her “squad.” Be prepared for the Green New Deal, higher taxes followed by higher unemployment, higher fuel costs, continued dependence on China for food and medicine, strict gun control measures, increased regulation, poor people getting poorer, a shrinking middle class, and cancel culture on steroids.

    Nice piece by Gary Hart, EM.

    "I have the right to do a lot of things that people don't even know about." This, of course, calls to mind Trump's "Article II" fairly regular insistence. So as Trump has asserted multiple times, he believes Article II -- of the United States Constitution -- allows the president to do whatever he wants.

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sl_gO3uOds8

    For as much as the GOP and their minions and useful idiots whined incessantly about their claim that Obama believed he was a "king," you don't hear much out of them about Trump's regular insistence that he has "the right to do whatever I want as president, but I don't even talk about that."

    Defund the Word Police!

    California dailies make the word “looting” disappear.

    By Lloyd Billingsley • July 25, 2020

    In the Los Angeles riots of 1992, Americans may recall, looters had a field day. In 2020, with anarchy and arson on the march, the Los Angeles Times has banned the term looting.

    “Looting is a crime that occurs only during a state of emergency,” the paper’s style guide explains. “Do not use it as a broad label or term for protest, burglary, theft or chaos. Because of the racial connotation and history of the word, use terms like ‘looting’ or ‘looters’ only in the context of criminal proceedings. Unless a story is specifically about looting or those charged with the crime, ‘looting’ or its derivations (‘looted,’ ‘looters’) should not be used in the story.”

    Up in the state capital of Sacramento, notes California Globe editor Katy Grimes, “Following violence, anarchy, mass property damage, theft, robbery and vandalism during the ongoing Antifa and Black Lives Matter riots, many Sacramento businesses were destroyed. Owners boarded up windows following the rampage.” With downtown businesses still under wraps, Sacramento Bee editor Lauren Gustus announced a daring change.

    “The Bee has taken several recent steps to work against long-standing stereotypes,” Gustus explained. “We have largely banned the use of the word ‘looting’—a term rooted in racism—and have sought to elevate the voices of emerging writers from communities we have long underserved.”

    Michale wrote:

    As the July 9 story by Ryan Lillis notes, the Bee “will limit the publication of police booking photos, surveillance photos and videos of alleged crimes, and composite sketches of suspects provided by law enforcement agencies. Publishing these photographs and videos disproportionately harms people of color and those with mental illness, while also perpetuating stereotypes about who commits crime in our community.”

    Exceptions include, “booking photos of public figures; photos of suspected serial killers; cases in which there is an immediate and widespread threat to public safety; and those suspected of hate crimes.” The Bee will continue to publish footage of police officer use of force as “one way to hold those in positions of power accountable.”

    According to Lillis, the changes flow from a July 3 story that “included surveillance photographs of people suspected of vandalizing stores in downtown Sacramento following a night of protests against police brutality. Members of the community asked that the story—and the photographs—be removed from our website the next day and we did so. We apologize for the harm that publishing those photos may have caused.”

    The Sacramento Bee is the flagship of the McClatchy newspaper chain, now mired in bankruptcy proceedings. The current owners show little curiosity about the role of political partisanship in the chain’s downfall.

    The mere fact that Left Wing rags have to censor themselves to protect the criminals and scumbags simply proves my point..

    For example, the current opinion editor of the Bee is Gil Duran, former press secretary for California Governor Jerry Brown and communications director for Senator Dianne Feinstein, San Francisco Democrat. On the editorial and news side, with few exceptions, the Bee simply replicates the Democratic Party line. Fake news also greased the tracks for the slide into bankruptcy.

    Editor Rick Rodriguez looked the other way at hundreds of biased, unprofessional stories about illegal aliens, who can do no wrong in the Bee’s pages. Columnist Diana Griego Erwin cranked out countless columns of pure fiction, and Bee bosses kindly allowed the faker to retire. The prevailing mouthpiece is now Marcos Bretón, who recently took cancel culture to a whole new level.

    Back in 1980 at the Lake Placid Olympics, a pickup hockey team of American collegians defeated the mighty Soviet Union by a score of 4-3. It was as though North Dakota State had knocked off the Pittsburgh Steelers, and was by many accounts the greatest victory in the history of team sports. But then, on the 40th anniversary of their historic win, team members showed up at a Trump rally.

    These were “old white men wearing red hats next to Trump,” Bretón wrote, and back in the day they were “all white, fresh-faced and eager to embrace the flag without question.” So the 1980 victory “wasn’t a miracle at all,” just a “lucky win that spawned a myth that died when the red hats came out and the truth was revealed.” For sports fans, it was a sure-fire circulation builder.

    It's hilarious... Democrats spew on and on about diversity and such..

    And their chosen champion is an old white guy who has been in DC for over 40 years and doesn't have a SINGLE accomplishment that was good for the country..

    Basement Biden's ONLY contribution was the 1994 Crime Ball that incarcerated millions of black Americans for victim-less crimes..

    In 100 days our country will be confronted with the “time for choosing” Ronald Reagan spoke of, and there’s no doubt the stakes are high.

    This weekend marks 100 days out from Election Day. As I reflect on the last four years and think ahead to the next few months, I’m reminded of an instance that occurred roughly 100 days into President Trump’s administration. I was chaperoning my daughter’s class trip to Washington, DC.

    While millions of Americans were excited about the new administration, you couldn’t exactly count my daughter’s classmates among them.

    Their attitudes towards the new president were largely negative, and even when given a chance opportunity to meet with a senior member of the administration, their reaction was blasé, at best.

    TRUMP SAYS BIDEN LISTENING TO BERNIE'S 'RADICALIZED PEOPLE,' DRIFTING 'FURTHER LEFT'

    This initial tepidness to President Trump seemed to speak to the concerns of some who were frankly unsure if the billionaire businessman could shake up the status quo in Washington and deliver on his America-First agenda.

    Flash forward a few years and I was chaperoning the same trip for my son’s class but this time, the students’ reaction was completely different.

    A couple years and countless Promises-Made, Promises-Kept later, this time they couldn’t get their hands on the MAGA hats at the gift shop fast enough and couldn’t wait to show off just how proud they and the people of Michigan were of their president. The change in attitude was surely a reflection of the conversations taking place at their own dinner tables and the impact this president had had on their own families’ lives.

    What else do you expect from someone who cheers on the torturing of toddlers to push an extremist terrorist agenda...

    Never happened not even a single time; your "silence gives assent" bullshit routine has been alive and well and precedes me by many years.

    As long as name-calling is Weigantia's soup de jour, then I will use any name that applies..

    Oh, why not continue the daily routine you've been posting in Weigantia for a long, long time. How predictable that you'd blame someone else for that routine you've been running here since long before the majority on this board showed up.

    And that name PERFECTLY fits the luser, Vick..

    Oh, joy! You have renamed one of the Mike Hunts in my honor. Oh, I am touched.

    The chaos in Portland saw rioters break through a reinforced fence surrounding the Mark O. Hatfield U.S. Courthouse in the city’s downtown, police said. The courthouse has been a target for rioters, who have repeatedly vandalized and damaged the building over multiple nights. Federal officers have recently been assigned to the building.

    The huge crowd outside the courthouse included the Wall of Moms and the Wall of Vets. Meanwhile, a Portland resident told Fox News last week that Antifa also has been present at the protests.

    Gabriel Johnson, a 48-year-old Black man and retired Marine, said that after he went to protest outside the courthouse with his American flag in hand on July19, he was called racial slurs and members of Antifa followed him home.

    “These people have nothing to do with Black lives. Our Black community leaders need to stand up and lead because what's happening is they're letting a group of terrorists that don't represent me use me, and that's not right,” said Johnson.

    This is exactly why over 40% of black Americans support President Trump...

    People in the crowd Saturday night threw rocks, bottles, and unknown liquids over the fence, and were shining lasers and launching fireworks at the building, police said.

    As officers tried to disperse the crowd, police said they were hit with bottles and paint balloons. People also shot mortar-style fireworks at officers from the ground and from parking garages.

    Portland police said CS gas and other munitions were used to help disperse the crowd. However, many people wore gas masks and wielded makeshift shields, umbrellas, and leaf blowers to try and thwart police attempts to break up the groups.

    The crowd dissipated just before 2:30 a.m., police said. Several arrests were made.

    Though the United States is rightly focused on the coronavirus pandemic, last week's events in Washington underscored that two years after women powered the Democrats' 2018 push to flip the House of Representatives, Trump and some members of his Republican Party have not learned their lesson -- and still cannot seem to show that they will treat women as equals and respect the dignity of their work both at home and in the professional realm.
    ...
    But in the Thursday afternoon tweet that seemed straight out of the 1950s, Trump said "The Suburban Housewives of America must read this article. Biden will destroy your neighborhood and your American Dream. I will preserve it, and make it even better!"
    ...
    In another example of his failure to think about the consequences before he speaks, he wished Ghislaine Maxwell "well" during a Tuesday briefing on the coronavirus even though she faces charges for recruiting, grooming and ultimately sexually abusing minors who were as young as 14 as Jeffrey Epstein's alleged accomplice.

    The reason we are where we are now, has everything to do with a novel coronavi … well, actually, you may be right about that.

    I just disagree with you over how that problem can be fixed. :)

    I second that, Elizabeth.

    Comrade Don

    You'd probably find that most Weigantians agree that we have "the worst government that money can buy." No need to belabor that point (to me, at least, is annoying and IMO distracts from the mission.)

    The biggie is how to solve the problem and that's where many of us remain unconvinced by One Demand as you've presented it.

    Bear with me. I'm relatively new to our Comments section so the issues I raise may have been addressed by you in the past. And I believe I've demonstrated more genuine interest in OD than most Weigantians, and all the shit that's happened since Saint Ronnie started the Repugs decades long assault on the New Deal make it imperative that we have to get Big Money out of our politics.

    I reprint (repost?) a post from Bleyd, who wrote:

    I'm seeing a pretty monumental flaw in your OD plan. You essentially seem to require a majority of the citizens to simultaneously go on strike against non-OD candidates in favor of a single OD-friendly candidate in order for it to work. That's simply unrealistic.

    First you'd have to find a candidate who agreed to OD's principles and who is popular enough to get the financial support of such a huge segment of the population that they could out-raise the major party candidates. That alone is simply not possible to do all in one go. No candidate of sufficient popularity would willing risk handicapping themselves so monumentally with the rules as they stand.

    Even if you could find such a candidate though, how are you expecting to get so many small donors that they could keep up with the current fund raising system? How are you going to convince them that their donations wouldn't be in vain, that the candidate they're supporting would have a realistic chance of beating someone entrenched in the current system? Most people aren't willing to throw money at causes they don't believe have a chance.

    So I ask you, what is the workable plan of action you are proposing? Ideals and concepts are great, but unless you have a way to put them into practice, they won't get you far.

    To these concerns I add "what about the oceans of PAC money, some of it fairly dark and I suspect some of it foreign." The parasitic economist elite will spend whatever it takes to defeat Progressivism.

    The first use of profanity beyond Don paraphrasing AOC is you in post 117 as far as I can find.

    But the new behavior in this thread that I have not seen before was using your lame word twisting on nypoet22. The dude is and has been consistently polite through the life of this blog. He tried to have a real discussion with you and you basically could not handle it. That was a dick move.

    Everyone here has figured out if you use misogynistic profanity against Kick, she asks you to stop talking about your family. And that's it. You don't want your family brought up even as a foil to your own language, stop the misogynistic profanity. We all know the game at this point, your hysteria is only fooling yourself...

    Trump is behind in a state no Republican has won the presidency without in 96 years

    Poll of the week: A new CNN/SSRS poll finds that former Vice President Joe Biden leads in the state of Florida by a 51% to 46% margin over President Donald Trump among registered voters.

    The CNN poll follows a Quinnipiac University poll released earlier this week, which showed Biden with a 51% to 38% lead.

    What's the point: Trump hasn't led in a single Florida poll since early March.

    The fact that the polls in Florida favor Biden should be one of the biggest warning signs yet for Trump's fledgling campaign. Yes, we still have 100 days to go, and history does suggest that the gap in Florida could close.

    Rep. Ted Yoho resigns from board of Christian organization following AOC incident

    Florida GOP Rep. Ted Yoho has resigned from the board of a Christian organization that works to fight hunger following his tense exchange with Democratic Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez of New York.
    ...
    "We believe that Rep. Ted Yoho's recent actions and words as reported in the media are not reflective of the ethical standards expected of members of our Board of Directors," the organization wrote in a statement.

    Mike Hunt has finally conceded that Mike is indeed "sick" in the manner as I have been describing. This is indeed a breakthrough for the "slick cluck."

    You complain about alleged misogyny but ignore the sexist bullshit coming from Team Biden.

    What's this? Mike Hunt wants to discuss political issues instead of other posters? It's like he came to a board full of Democrats and Democrat-leaning Independent voters and expected to find a bunch of MAGAts!

    There was NOTHING like this from ANYONE until she showed up...

    You do realize this forum is archived, right?

    Her departure would go a LONG ways into making Weigantia a fun place to be again..

    I wouldn't be the first person you wanted gone from this place and bragged about how you've run off.

    I'm not leaving. You're delusional.

    This is fact...

    You wouldn't know a fact if it lived on your ample ass.

    A place where you troll the group while your enablers ignore your shit, and you whine like an effing toddler if anyone says a peep in your general direction and gives it right back at you? I am sure you would love that.

    Give her a penalty time out for a week.. See how awesome things would be without her...

    Face the facts, cunt.. You are not welcome here.. Sure, you have fellow dirt bags who sing your praises, but you bring nothing but strife and mud-slinging and gross personal attacks to Weigantia..

    It's easy to prove.. Voluntarily cease all personal attacks and name-calling against anyone here in Weigantia for 10 days..

    You can't do it..

    Yer a troll, pure and simple.. You can't help but make personal attacks on people...

    It's you against the world, Michale. :)

    Mike is just here to troll others, EM.

    Noun, verb "ya'all."
    Noun, verb "hysterical."
    Noun, verb "hate and bigotry."

    Boring, repetitive dearth of ideas and knee-jerk constant trolling with little of anything not cut and paste or lather, rinse, repeat...

    fat*troll is simply here to get his jollies by annoying people. Sad, when one thinks of it -- I just don't get the appeal. he keeps ramping up the outrageousness and insults until someone bites.

    Elizabeth, I know you're the Kumbaya Board Mother here and I "get" what you're trying to do but you cannot reach someone who has nothing to add but great distraction and discord. So Elizabeth, don't acknowledge fat*troll because you're wasting everybody's time and allowing him to poison the thread, hello?

    As for the rest of my Weigantian peeps, fat*troll will NEVER reply to reality, logic and even pointing out the folly of so much that he posts. Remehe best revenge is to completely and consistently ignore him-- no exceptions!

    I think fat*troll's bravado about Cheetogod's microscopic chances in November/40% of the black voters etc is pure fantasy. We all know he'll disappear once the results are in -- no way he'll show his face. So he's wringing what "pleasure" that he can while it's not yet FACTUAL that the Dems could run a tuna sandwich against Cheetogod and still win. That's why he chickened out on any black vote wagering (for a good CW Cause, I might add.) John M fat*troll's lame excuses are meant to annoy.

    So just let the mo'fo' do his thing. Remember, if he can't get any of us to engage it will drive him bonkers! You won't believe how increasingly "low road" he'll go to get someone to pay attention.

    Personal attacks and personal name-calling should be outlawed..

    However, you will continue to troll the group with your standard operational bullspew... we know... been there, done that.

    Definitely extortion and oppo research on commenters should be outlawed.. That should go without saying.. It's a sad commentary on Weigantia that it has to be said..

    You're delusional.

    And DEFINITELY personal attacks on family members should be outlawed. Again, sad commentary that it has to be specified..

    Good luck with that on your part. You troll the entire group and deny the doing of it. Meanwhile, we're all supposed to just ignore your standard operational bullshit.

    I would completely and utterly agree and abide by these rules..

    You trolling the group as a whole is not something you'll stop doing. It's your MO. Everyone knows this, obviously.

    But I bet you 20,000 quatloos that Vick would oppose them..

    Let's talk about politics. I'm not politics! This group is not a whipping post, and you're not free to insult this group as a whole. Count me in.

    Good luck! You'll need it, Mike.

    She can't survive without her ability to attack other commenters and commenters' family with gross personal attacks..

    You're delusional, and your standard operation projection is so precious. *laughs*

    I know words and I have the best words, but I’m unclear about exactly which anti-woman hate speech words are OK and which are over the line. It all seems so arbitrary as if Larry David makes The Rules. Can one use the P word if it’s hyphenated? For example: P word-grabber. It kind of loses its punch if you have to say “P word”. What other body part slurs are off limits? I want to observe The Rules. So, rather than color outside the lines, I’ve chosen a musical selection from 1977.

    Of all the PRiSM tunes, there is one that stands out as sounding different from all of the others. Maybe you can tell my why.

    I'm thinking it has something to do with being written in an unusual key or has it to do with sharp vs minor or major or ... I don't know. I just know there is something very different about the sound of it.

    Yes, sir.

    i'm not saying the protests are as "perfect" as donald's phone call with ukraine (and if you check back and see you'll note that i think it's dumb to have massive assemblies of people during a pandemic). what i'm saying is that the way you're framing the protests doesn't match the facts on the ground, and the deaths due to the bogeymen you're throwing out are infinitesimal when compared to the deaths caused by covid.

    Yes, sir. The 2016 Dallas police shootings were perpetrated by an Army combat veteran/reserve who wasn't part of any group but wanted to kill white people/police. If we're going to label all the veterans of the United States who aren't part of a group as "antifa" and Democrats, that'll be quite enough votes to make Joe Biden president. Also, the Dallas Police are not fascists.

    America’s Major Cities Are Being Turned Into War Zones, And It Is Not Going To End In November

    The civil unrest that we witnessed all across America this weekend was extremely alarming. For a few weeks, it seemed like the chaos that erupted in the immediate aftermath of the tragic death of George Floyd was subsiding, but in recent days there has been a dramatic resurgence. Within the last 48 hours, there have been eruptions of violence in major cities such as Seattle, Portland, Atlanta, Chicago, New York, Los Angeles, Oakland, Louisville, Austin and Richmond. At this point we have seen sustained protests and rioting for nearly two months straight, and it looks like the chaos isn’t going to disappear any time soon.

    Over the past few weeks, a few people have written me emails suggesting that the civil unrest will disappear if Joe Biden wins the election in November.

    But I don’t believe that this is true. Virtually all of the rioting is happening in cities that are controlled by Democrats, and the leftist politicians that run those cities do not have any control over the Marxist protesters at all.

    What could possibly go wrong?

    In poll after poll after poll, voters in battleground states agree that Joe Biden isn’t all there mentally. The “4Esoterics”—Judah Friedman, Lewis Fein, Ben Boychuk, and Chris Buskirk—thought it would be a public service to ask the former vice president and presumptive Democratic presidential nominee to submit to a cognition test of their own design.

    Oregon High School Football Coach Fired for Also Working as a Police Officer

    Oregon Live has reported that a high school football coach has been fired from his job due to also working as a sergeant in the local police department.

    Ken Duilio, the football coach of Cleveland High School in Portland, Oregon, was originally hired in 2019. However, he was informed on Monday that his coaching contract would not be renewed for another academic year, and Duilio immediately realized that it was because he also serves with the Portland Police Bureau as a sergeant.

    In announcing Coach Duilio’s firing, Marshall Haskins, the athletic director for Portland Public Schools, said that the decision was made in order to “go in a different direction.”

    Duilio said there was a coordinated effort to get him fired by an unknown far-left group, which began putting up posters all over campus, featuring pictures of Duilio as a police officer, after he spoke at a news conference in June on behalf of besieged Portland police officers. When Duilio was fired, he said that he asked the district to at least tell him who was pushing for his firing, but they refused to tell him.

    The firing of Duilio represents a shift towards anti-police sentiments in public schools as a result of the far-left “defund the police” movement. Many public schools are firing police officers who are designated to work with campus security, and Portland especially has become one of the last remaining hotbeds of mob violence by the terrorist organizations Antifa and Black Lives Matter over the last several weeks.

    Morning Greatness: Gunfire, Arson, Explosives at Weekend Riots

    Good Monday morning.
    Here is what’s on the president’s agenda today:

    The President participates in a greeting with the Walking Marine, Terry Sharpe
    President Trump participates in a tour of Bioprocess Innovation Center at Fujifilm Diosynth Biotechnologies in Morrisville, North Carolina
    Weekend riot debrief

    Let’s get started.

    In Aurora, Colorado a group of rioters were marching on Interstate 225 (I’m pretty sure this is illegal) and shots were fired at a vehicle driving on the road. The shooter ended up hitting two protestors with his gun fire. Here’s the gunman (obviously a tea partier or a bugaloo dude) and the police are looking for him:

    The rioters returned to the Aurora police department building, tore down a fence and then police declared an unlawful assembly. “APD tweeted that the protesters were no longer peaceful, as they were throwing objects, shining lasers and shooting large fireworks at officers. They had broken windows to the courthouses and started a fire in an office, APD said.”

    Over in Austin, Texas we had a BLM rioter shot and killed after he approached a driver who ended up in the middle of a street march.

    An Austin Police spokesperson said officers were monitoring the protest when the shooting happened around 9:52 p.m. According to initial reports, APD said, the victim approached the suspect’s vehicle and may have been carrying a rifle.

    The suspect inside the vehicle then shot the victim, police said. The suspect has been detained and is cooperating with officers, the APD spokesperson said.

    He was carrying a rifle, he was pointing an AK-47 at the driver. “Initial reports indicate the suspect was carrying a rifle and shot at the victim, who was in his car, police told a briefing. The suspect has been detained, they said,” according to Breitbart. So, yes, people with guns will shoot back when they are trapped in a mob of aggressors with bullets coming their way. Fox News reports:

    Multiple armed protesters approached the car, at which point the driver fired several shots before speeding away, witnesses said. They added that several of the protesters returned fire as the driver made his escape, with police confirming at least three people opened fire. Garrett Foster, 28, was shot and killed.

    The unnamed driver said he shot at Foster because the protester had pointed his rifle toward him.
    https://amgreatness.com/2020/07/27/morning-greatness-gunfire-arson-explosives-at-weekend-riots/

    The idea that there are not shootings and killings at these protests is ludicrous..

    And the idea that sane patriotic Americans won't care about such things when they go to vote is the epitome of self-delusion..

    Americans very much cared in 1968 and the voting reflected that..

    Portland’s wall of mothers has gotten a large amount of attention and their motivation to protect their own and others’ children has generated high praise. However, most Portland mothers have not attended any of the demonstrations that have occurred nightly in the city since the death of George Floyd. The reasons for this seeming lack of enthusiasm appear to have a common thread.

    “Well, it’s not that I wouldn’t be at the Justice Center,” 51 year old mother Dolores Zambrano said when interviewed Tuesday. “But my kids, they don’t smash the state so much. This year, they didn’t even do anything to fuck up the patriarchy on Mother’s Day.”

    Where Are the New Heroes of the Revolution?

    Cultural revolutions are suicidal, nihilistic, and incoherent. Those who survive such cannibalism do so by arbitrarily exempting their leaders from their own rules of mandated purity and no statute of limitations.

    Since late May, the United States has been convulsed by a cultural revolution unlike any seen in its recent history. Statues have been toppled, often without any logic or consistent grievance. Institutions have been renamed, again without coherent consistency.

    Christian iconography has been a common target. Television shows have been taken off the air; particular corporations boycotted; professional sports recalibrated into social activist spectacles.

    If there is any common denominator to this madness, it is apparently that the past was toxic, and erasing it in the present will make for a more just and united future.

    For example, because of the glorification of the imperialist and spoiler of native paradise Christopher Columbus, his statue in Chicago must be removed nocturnally by the order of the mayor—in order to restore peace of mind, social justice, and calm. That act of iconoclasm will rectify things in the present, and thus there will not be another 500 annual homicides in Chicago.

    But once names are replaced and commemoration destroyed, what exactly follows the erased?

    Anarchy Is the Replacement
    Mao and Stalin had their pictures put up everywhere—while making the prior czars and the warlords amateurs in the arithmetic of genocide. The revolutionary Castro Brothers and Muammar Gaddafi turned the streets of Havana and Tripoli into Disney-like ads for their persons. So did Saddam Hussein—as thousands were rounded up and murdered.

    Will the founders of Black Lives Matter demand such statues for themselves?

    In truth, the iconoclasts and revolutionaries are guided by an informal set of chaotic rules that ensures their movement must remain anarchical and nihilist. They cannot really replace what they have destroyed—at least according to their own ad hoc rules of political correctness. And after over two months of constant protests, we know what those protocols are.

    One, we do not judge famous people by weighing their bad and good deeds. One sin—with or without confession—condemns you to politically incorrect Hell. One bad characteristic—especially supposed racism—cancels whatever good one otherwise accomplished.

    Liberals idolize President Woodrow Wilson for his progressive politics and one-world utopian foreign policy. But because Wilson was also by our standards an inveterate racist, he is now canceled.

    Global pacifist Mahatma Gandhi is also out, because in his earlier incarnation as a South African barrister he said and wrote things that now are deemed racist. George Washington may have been unique in terms of his superior morality and achievements, especially in comparison with other slave-holders. But as a slave-holder, his virtue does not matter; and so Washington is relegated to the toxic column, lumped together with any otherwise criminal-minded person who also owned slaves.
    https://amgreatness.com/2020/07/26/where-are-the-new-heroes-of-the-revolution/

    Basically, the Democrat/AntiFa/BlackLiesMatter Party wants to turn America into Soviet Russia or Venezuela...

    What you are looking for to win your argument is the CDC rubric for: "cause of death" = proximal cause."

    Proximal cause is "the disease or injury that initiated the train of morbid events leading directly to death" The chain of events leading to death doesn't roll without a proximal cause.
