Strongly agree


That reality has nothing to do with the hype the Donald and the Governor will generate about, in no specific order:

- Outsiders being bused in to tear up Tulsa
- Outsiders being bused in to tear up attack Trump supporters
- These agitators are city folk who hate county folks
- These agitators hate everything Trump
- These people being bused in are sponsored (saddest old saw in the playbook)
- These people probably are not white, and likely are not even citizens of the USA
- Law and Order will reign
- Law and Order stopped these agitators, even if/since they never existed
- A heavy Law Enforcement presence, and maybe the President's new toy the National Guard, will get the call to defend the streets of Tulsa

There is only win in this false flag for Team Trump



The scary thing is that his supporters could easily incite violence, then the governor and Trump could blame libtards. It might make even more of his supporters willing to clash with protestors under the whataboutism excuse. He wants a clash. I think he NEEDS a clash, which is scary.

Wow.

Breaking News: The Justice Department abruptly announced that it was replacing the U.S. attorney in Manhattan, who has investigated President Trump's associates.

This is nothing. Wait until the water dries up coming off the himalayas (question of when, not if) and 1/4 to 1/3 of the people in the world don't have enough water. And we don't have the energy for large scale desalination without some kind of sea change in how we generate energy.


Well shit...

And nobody from the West can do anything because the US is absent. Same with HK. China is just getting warmed up and probably could use a distraction because their economy is taking a beating.

There are the obvious possible cases against Trump and/or his family, but I also want to flag this, which I saw looking at Berman's wiki page:

On April 30, 2020, Berman announced a deferred prosecution agreement against Bank Hapoalim, Israel’s largest bank, for conspiring to hide assets and income in offshore accounts. Bank Hapoalim agreed to pay nearly $875 million. Berman said: “Israel’s largest bank, Bank Hapoalim, and its Swiss subsidiary have admitted not only failing to prevent but actively assisting U.S. customers to set up secret accounts, to shelter assets and income, and to evade taxes. The combined payment approaching $1 billion reflects the magnitude of the tax evasion by the Bank’s U.S. customers, the size of the fees the Bank collected to provide this illegal service, and the gravity of the illegal conduct.”[81]


Something tells me this could resurface. And maybe not just for Trump.

Appointed by Trump, but that doesn't matter. He was a loser, never Trumper, disgruntled employee who couldn't hack it.

No news from Maine yet, but I have to assume that Susan Collins is very disappointed.

Funny how these things always happen on a Friday night.

Could this just be the start of placing friendlies in roles before the election?

This is the most egregious thing that has happened to date in my opinion (recency bias be damned). This is a Trump appointee, a Trump donor, and a Trump voter.

He’s already a friendly.

Good times over at the U.S. Agency for Global Media As the interim chief in his first week Is firing anybody who’s been there for any amount of time in an attempt to remake its role as impartial American voice to the world into what politicians on both side of the aisle fear would be a single view propaganda and opinion arm.

This is an important story without enough visibility. Read or heard something month ago about the danger to VOA.

Who's presumably putting his responsibility above that.
