		<description>Caddy,

&lt;i&gt;I know, for Sunday Night how about we feature under appreciated Rock bands, the ones we know are really obscure, but tasty?&lt;/i&gt;

I like it!

You know, Canada is the home of the underappreciated rock band. That&#039;s a little joke. :)</description>

&lt;i&gt;It is ignorant to categorize the BLM protests as being no different than an attempt to overthrow our government through a violent insurrection.&lt;/i&gt;













But not in the world of right-TV. Majorities of Repugs think Trump won the election and that January 6th was a legitimate protest against the Big Steal. We regrettably live in two parallel universes.</description>

&lt;i&gt;Yes I had a Scotch. But I was not drunk... I&#039;m not an alcoholic. I use the word functioning.  I don&#039;t know why I use the word functioning. I am not an alcoholic. I am 77 years old...I&#039;ve never been treated for alcoholism. &lt;/i&gt;</description>

		<description>Let’s get one thing really clear — we need to STOP comparing the police’s response to the BLM protests with the police’s response to the January 6 failed insurrection that was disguised to look like it was a peaceful protest.   One was in protest of the death of George Floyd and one was a coordinated attack on our Capitol and our democratic elections.   

Also, the police are not the ones who decided to end the protest so that Trump could get his photo op — that was done at the Trump White House’s order.   The police just enforce the law.  That said, here is something I wish that people would take a second to read and commit to memory:

&lt;b&gt;If the police tell you that a protest is over and that you must leave the area immediately — even if a court later determines that this violated your civil rights; you MUST leave the area immediately or you will be breaking the law!    &lt;/b&gt;

I do find it comical to hear those who scream about gutting the police and complaining about our “militarized” police being upset when they got to see firsthand on January 6th what happens when you get your wishes regarding the police granted.  Had the police responded to the BLM protests the way they did on January 6th, DC would have been burned to the ground!   

Let’s not forget that it was not by coincidence that the January 6th “Stop the Steal Rally” just happened to be held at the date and time that Congress would be certifying the Electoral College votes from each state for the 2020 presidential election — it was meant to pressure Republicans to void the official count in hopes of allowing Trump to stay in power.     The Trump administration made sure that the police response to the January 6 events would be deficient and that the National Guard would not be present to prevent any violence that “might” occur.   It is ignorant to categorize the BLM protests as being no different than an attempt to overthrow our government through a violent insurrection.</description>

I&#039;m also tired of all things Cheetogod but because he has the track record of stirring up the whackos he needs to be kept track of. Oh, and I like watching Trump&#039;s descent into legal hell. I&#039;ll never not consider that must watch TV.

		<description>&lt;i&gt;The fence is going up again in anticipation of Saturday&#039;s pro-insurrectionist rally. That seems like an intelligent and reasonable thing to do. But even that might not have stopped the mob, back in January.&lt;/i&gt;












If the fence was up on January 6th there would have been a far more prepared and capable force going a long with it.</description>

		<description>Too many mentions of the former president, and even some quotes I think I saw as I skimmed over the piece. No interest on my part in reading anything about or by the guy, so I skipped this one. Looking forward to future essays!</description>
