Weirdly Bill Barr is behind the lines observing. Really weird. He's outside the White House fence.

He served in the military and is a Harvard Law grad. Of course he knows what it means.


It means you can't dry your laundry, right?


That would be several quarters.

It became illegal to grant no quarter with the Hague Convention of 1907.

Isn’t the irony incredible? The Second Amendment zealots about to be hoisted on their own petard.

I see why it can help the GOP in local elections, but he can't scream LAW AND ORDER while literally holding the highest office in a nation during the most lawless period of my lifetime, can he? There is literally evidence right in front of our faces that he has no vested interest in actually taking control.


My FB feed is full of posts from my lifelong friends and former colleagues. All boomers, 98% white suburban types.

I now get why youse kids are so frustrated with boomers. All of my 'friends' who support Trump are racists. They don't use the n word (in public) and they likely don't regard themselves as racists, but they have no clue of how being white made their lives easier. "I got nothing against black people as long as they obey the law and work hard like I do."

One of my 'friends' got a new dog and named it Trump. I rarely make any political commentary on FB but I do rag her about Trump. Her own daughter scoffed at the name; I suggested it was ok because "He poops everywhere, never stops yapping, makes messes for others to clean up, barks at things he can't understand, thinks the world revolves around himself, has no knowledge of science or history or geography, has no impulse control."

A woman married to a former colleague piped in "Can't wait to see you try & do a better job. Another keyboard warrior."

"Keyboard warrior" seems to be the fashionable term to scorn folks who don't love Trump.

Logic does not apply with these simpletons.

I gave up Facebook long ago. It is a net negative for the world, and for the well-being of individual users.

But is Biden an effective enough speaker/debater to competently call him out on it? That's what worries me. Even his scripted talks seem borderline feebly at this point. Maybe it's the tone of his speeches given the situation, but I have more concerns than I did a month ago.

The police are purposefully inciting violence because most of them are Trumptards and therefore feel empowered to expose their racism to the world without fear of reprisal.

Don't these moronic cops realize that everything they do is being recorded and shared with millions?



They took him because he's passionate and a leader. That's how you bust a protest.

I would add that the violence we are seeing from police is coordinated. Way too many groups of cops entering a scene with violence as the first option.
