    Doctor Dumbfuck’s orange moron continues his decline in the RCP average polls.

    orange moron approval – 42.2 approve, 54.9 disapprove

    orange moron loses to Biden – 49.8 for Biden, 41.7 orange moron

    Most people wearing masks here in NYC, but not everyone….some people still don’t get it….we do have a few dumbfuck conservatives here.

    So remember in May Dumbfuck getting all excited about Gallup polling, best rating ever even though it seemed like an outlier because they were the only ones at 50%. Even GOP cheerleader ‘weighted response’ pollster Rasmussen didn’t have 50%.

    Gallup, 39% approve, 57%(!) disapprove.

    I guess it’s possible protest response caused a 12 point drop alone or….

    Could have been a flukey outlier.

    Go ahead and de-fund the police departments around the country. You’ll get to see why we have the Second Amendment.

    6,
    So you’re threatening that if your local police department has to give up its MRAPs, Predator drones, mounted parade teams, and thousands of hours of unjustified overtime pay, you’ll kill your neighbors out of grief?

    Perfectly supports BLM. If any community requires aggressive, militarized, over-policing it is the community of aggrieved, resentful, dangerously sheltered racist snowflakes like you.
    While the majority of Americans are marching and demonstrating peacefully, fearful old white racists are the only ones threatening to gun up and go tactical in their own communities right now.

    Wonder how the GOP would have reacted if the Kenyan Darkie had pledged to pull troops out of Germany leaving Russia in a much stronger position.

    Actually, I don’t wonder. I know. “Tonight on Hannity, proof positive Barack Hussein Obama is a communist. Giving away American influence to Putin, we’ll talk to Anne Coulter, you bet it will come up. And our panel tonight, Sebastian Gorka, Rush Limbaugh and Hugh Hewitt, ‘Should Obama be executed for treason?'”

    How’s the “Keep America Great’ working out, Republicans?

    Just off the press:

    “A former federal judge on Wednesday blasted the U.S. Justice Department for what he called “a gross abuse of prosecutorial power” in seeking to drop its criminal case against Michael Flynn, President Donald Trump’s first national security advisor.

    “’The Government has engaged in highly irregular conduct to benefit a political ally of the President,’ the ex-judge, John Gleeson, wrote in a scathing legal filing opposing the proposed dismissal. Trump has strongly criticized the prosecution of Flynn.

    “Gleeson, who was assigned by the judge in Flynn’s case to advise him on several questions, also wrote that the retired Army lieutenant general ‘has indeed committed perjury’ in his statements to the case judge during proceedings in the case, ‘for which he deserves punishment.’”

    There’s no question that something much larger than protesting George Floyd’s murder is happening. I think Seattle Times columnist Danny Westneat, who’s a good guy if for no reason other than wingnuts hate him, and usually pretty astute, has captured the moment: A combination of police excesses and Trump’s overt racism has triggered a revival of the 1960s civil rights movement, and has forced reasonable-minded white people to come to terms with this country’s unfinished business with respect to race. He writes:

    “The current civil rights movement is being led by African Americans and other people of color, with the broader media for the most part featuring their stories and their voices. And rightly so. But something else is happening here, too. There’s been an abrupt sea change among the white people of America — at least for the moment — on issues that have seemed in the past to be intractably set in stone.

    “‘In my 35 years of polling, I’ve never seen opinion shift this fast or deeply,’ wrote the Republican pollster Frank Luntz on Monday. ‘We are a different country today than just 30 days ago. The consequences politically, economically, and socially are too great to fit into a tweet.’ What he’s talking about is a spate of extraordinary recent polls in which it appears to have suddenly dawned on white people that African Americans and other people of color were right all along: We really do still live in a racially tilted, inequitable, unfair society.”

    Now, it’s finally dawning on “white people [that] the justice system is tilted toward them” and they’re waking up to that reality, as shown by “an unheard-of 41-point swing of opinion among whites compared with when the same question was asked five years ago.”

    But that’s not all:

    “There have been a slew of … polls in the past week in which whites suddenly are answering questions about racism, the protests and the police in ways closer to how people of color traditionally see these issues.” Luntz called it “a turning point in public opinion.”

    Westneat continued, “At this point you may be saying: Are white people really this clueless? … I’ve written a number of times over the years how my tribe, the white people, resides in a fugue state of denial about race. … It’s a phenomenon known as white delusion, or white fragility — my tribe often defaults to it instinctively, out of a natural defensiveness. Something seems to have just punctured all that.

    “But what? Why are white people suddenly changing their minds? I have theories (of course). One is that the immediate case, of George Floyd, is so horrific and painstakingly documented that there’s no ground to stand on to deny it. Even the blue line broke, with police around the country calling it a murder. … Another is that the younger generation of African American activists has been relentless in pressing its morally correct case, as well as recruiting their white classmates and workmates as allies along the way. Just look at the racial diversity in the marches.

    “There are also two other titanic forces at work right now. One … is Donald Trump. He … demands … that you pick a side, either for his extreme world view or against it. This worked for a time, but each day now his grip has seemed to slip … if we all must pick a side, with no wiggle room left for nuance, then even some ‘scared white people,’ as UW professor Christopher Parker once dubbed them to me, may be deciding that, whatever else, they don’t want to be trapped on the same side of this as the Mad King.”

    https://tinyurl.com/ybhcdgha

    Roger Rabbit Commentary: I see much of what Westneat sees: That what’s happening in the streets is broader than protesting against police brutality, i.e. it’s an encompassing civil rights movement; that Floyd’s murder shook the white majority’s collective conscience, and in that sense is comparable to Emmett Till’s murder; that a growing number of people in positions of power and influence who previously went along with Trump’s madness are now balking and even his inner circle is growing increasingly reluctant to follow him over the cliff. It’s even possible the impeachment wasn’t necessarily doomed to failure, but just mistimed; and what happened to Nixon, who ultimately was abandoned by his allies and supporters, could now happen to Trump.

    @33 “Is that why he has to live in the Seattle Region?”

    Statue Watch: Next up, blow up Stone Mountain.

    “Planning of the carvings began … in 1914. Substantial funding for the project came from the KKK, which met on the mountain’s top to burn crosses and the project’s first directors and promoters were Klan members. … After the Supreme Court outlawed segregation in public schools in 1954, Southern states vowed a program of ‘Massive Resistance.’ … This was when the State of Georgia purchased Stone Mountain; finished the huge carvings … and added the Confederate battle flag to Georgia’s state flag. … [T]he carvings on Stone Mountain were … a middle finger both to African Americans and to the federal government that was trying to end discrimination. … [T]he Stone Mountain carvings continue to be shrines to white supremacy. To walk up the mountain, an African American must bear the indignity of passing the Confederate stone giants, driving along Robert E. Lee Blvd. past Stonewall Jackson Drive, parking next to Confederate Hall, and marching past four different Confederate flags, including the stars-and-bars battle flag, at this state park. Part of the cost of admission to Stone Mountain’s laser show is prostrating yourself on a picnic blanket at the feet of the Confederate colossi.”

    We really do still live in a racially tilted, inequitable, unfair society.”

    Not to minimize that statement, but really it can be expanded beyond race. Just think a gay guy (or girl but to less extent) can’t play for a professional sports team and be open about it. For what reason, except there is heterosexual privilege amongst Neanderthals.

    Hopefully African Americans have our back too.

    In CNN Legal Response to President Snowflake’s demand to stop publishing polling

    CNN is well aware of the reputation of John McLaughlin and McLaughlin Associates. In 2014 his firm famously reported that Eric Cantor was leading his primary challenger Dave Brat by 34 points only to lose by 11 points – a 45 point swing. The firm currently has a C/D rating from 538.

    @45 We live in a world where words which are innocent on their face often are intended to convey, and do convey, subtle or hidden meanings.

    Taken at face value, the idea that “all lives matter” is something no one should take issue with. The problem is that phrase has been hijacked by racists and made into a coded rejection of the idea that black lives matter.

    Of this, these “All Lives Matter” counter-protestors left no doubt: “After the protesters pass by, the man taking the video then begins commenting on the Black Lives Matter marchers. ‘Blacks lives matter to no one,’ he is heard saying in the video. ‘All lives matter. All lives matter. Police lives matter. God bless the police. God bless the police. You dumbass protesters.'” And you can’t miss the huge “Trump” signs in the background.

    How can anyone read “all lives matter” as anything other than “black lives don’t matter” in that context?

    The “Trump” signs in the background are part of this shtick. His name is associated with these people. “All lives matter” has come to be associated with these people, because they’ve adopted it as their racist rallying cry. This has gone to a place where that phrase is tainted.

    So, trolls, keep in mind that if you say “all lives matter” in your comments, you’re associating yourself with those people and their racism. Of course all lives matter, taken at face value; but if that’s what you mean, you’d better find some other way of saying it. You can thank the jackasses in the video for that. Btw, their employers canned them for pulling this stunt. They don’t want to be associated with it, or them, either.

    Still threatening violence against your neighbors, and coworkers.

    This is part of why BLM exists, draws strength, and has won over a sizable majority of voter support. Consistently, it is older whites like you who arm themselves, threaten violence, and go out seeking violent, armed confrontation.

    And yet what communities do law enforcement agencies target for hyperactive policing, stop-and-frisk policies, and daily police harassment?

    The only armed insurrections we have seen in the last decade have come from old white people. The only major acts of domestic terrorism, from white supremacists. And even now, you continue to demonstrate that, as a community, conservative whites are the greater risk to civil society.

    You and your police are the reason BLM exists.
    And your time is running out.
    So yeah, go get a gun. For all the good it will do you.

    @94 This is not something to be welcomed. It implies not recognizing election results, not obeying laws, not respecting the rights of others, vigilantism, and racial violence. It is “sovereign citizens” on an organized mass scale. It is killing cops who try to enforce our laws. It is taking over public property and “privatizing” it by armed force. It is barricading highways and collecting “tolls,” and other manifestations of gangsterism. There’s nothing good about it, I wouldn’t welcome it, and you shouldn’t either.

  98. 98

    It implies not recognizing election results, not obeying laws, not respecting the rights of others, vigilantism, and racial violence.

    White majority rule does all that shit already. You may not have been paying attention.

    We got our Supreme Court to hand an election to a Bush. In Georgia the other day they systematically prevented hundreds of thousands from voting. The list is endless and hard to miss.

    White already routinely ignore laws most African Americans don’t dare. We’ve been watching angry, militant whites arm themselves and assault local and federal police for decades. And our Congress has reacted to it by investigating the police. The groundwork for Stupid Hitler’s assault on the FBI was laid at Ruby Ridge and at Waco. White people declared themselves above the law a long, long time ago. While Clinton was marching militarized police into our cities and poor neighborhoods, law enforcement at every level was backing down, and withdrawing from the white insurrectionist movement.

    American law enforcement have lost their claim to legitimacy. They lost it not only by kneeling on the wind pipes of African Americans, but also by simultaneously standing down when Bundyville snipers targeted police, sexually molested children, assaulted innocent civilians, and stole and vandalized our property. I’d much prefer to see law enforcement resources directed at the real threats in our midst. But barring that, to see these dangerous, violent, unhinged white racists withdraw themselves from civil society is something I can live with.

    While racist trolls, Trumpalos, and your neighborhood Rapepublican lament their “fears of lawlessness” and threaten to “gun up” here’s what nationwide experts in organized criminal violence from all the top domestic law enforcement agencies have to say:

    “Based upon current information, we assess the greatest threat of lethal violence continues to emanate from lone offenders with racially or ethnically motivated violent extremist ideologies and [domestic violent extremists] with personalized ideologies.”

    That’s code for white nationalists. Same as it ever was.
    While Trump is threatening to “unleash the dogs” on our cities the truth is as it has always been that our greatest threats to public safety are his voters. While Bubba and his Trailerbilly pals amass huge arsenals and build fertilizer bombs, American police drive Bear Cats into city parks to gas peaceful protesters and send their academy washouts into our schools to beat up our kids.

    @122 You’re probably early. The second wave is just getting started. Only 1`14,000 dead so far; it’ll be a quarter million by Election Day. Mostly Republicans.

    @126 – The buys were just some small things I’d been considering for a little while. Nothing too serious, in the scheme of things.

    Thursday News Wrap

    1. Border Patrol agents stole money Congress appropriated “to buy food, medicine and other items for migrants” and spent it “on ATVS, dirt bikes and boats.”

    2. People attending Trump rallies will need signed waivers of legal liability, not face masks, to get in through the doors.

    3. A Republican ER doctor in Ohio was fired for suggesting “the colored population” is more likely to get Covid-19 because they “don’t wash their hands as well as other groups.” No word yet on whether this was an out-of-state radiologist subbing in the ER during the pandemic crisis.

    Starting with next week’s event in Tulsa, all of Stupid Hitler’s Triumph of the Will Corn Spitting and Hog Calling Rallies will require the hoi palloi trailerbillies in attendance to sign a hold-harmless for infection from The Rona.

    Perfect.

    Go long on medical bankruptcy.

    Donald today on racial inequality which the GOP insists does not exist and he himself insisted didn’t exist up through last week…

    “I think we’re going to do it very easily and quickly and it’ll go very easily.”

    Does that sound vaguely familiar?

    15 people, and the 15 within a couple of days is going to be down to close to zero.

    @132 Start hoarding toilet paper now — while the getting is good. They won’t make it anymore after the TP factories are bombed. Then you can sell it for $1 a sheet. There are about 250 sheets to a roll.

    How to not win the black vote:

    https://www.huffpost.com/entry/tennessee-capitol-to-keep-forrest-bust_n_5ee23012c5b6625b095bb628

    The details: ” … Tennessee … lawmakers voted to keep a bust of a Confederate general and Ku Klux Klan leader on full display in the capitol …. Rep. Jerry Sexton (R), who voted against the bust’s removal, [said] “It was not against the law to own slaves back then. Who knows, maybe some of us will be slaves one of these days. Laws change.”

    Now, I know what you’re thinking — that slavery is outlawed by the 13th Amendment and you can’t override a constitutional amendment by “changing the law.” What you need to understand is he wasn’t referring to that kind of slavery. To a Republican, paying taxes is slavery. That makes every Republican alive in America today a slave, and even some dead ones (don’t forget “death taxes”). It follows that the bust of Nathan Bedford Forrest, a Confederate general, terrorist, and founder of the KKK, honors the Tennessee victims of taxes, most of whom are white. Removing his bust would be like kicking over headstones in a VA cemetery. Unpatriotic as hell. The voters would never stand for it. I repeat, the voters in Rep. Sexton’s district, and all the other GOP districts in Tennessee, would never stand for it, and that’s what this is really all about.

    Someone dangle a carrot in front of me for a few days then pull the rug out from under me after I start salivating. Works like a charm all the time.

    Louisville just passed Breonna’s Law outlawing no knock warrents. The vote was 26-0.

    The council includes seven Republicans.

  141. 141

    @140 “The council includes seven Republicans.”

    Better late than never. Republicans have some unfinished business in Jacksonville, too. Who mentioned replacing a candidate? Oh yeah, Doctor Dumbfuck. He had the right idea, but mixed up the parties.

    Well there goes another of Dubfuck’s big feels…

    Before he was apprehended, Carrillo (suspect in June 6th Ambush of police in Santa Cruz) scrawled the word “boog” and “I became unreasonable” in blood on the hood of a car. “Boog” is short for boogaloo, a far-right anti-government movement that began on the extremist site 4chan and aims to start a second American civil war.

    The phrase “I became unreasonable” has become a meme in public Boogaloo communities on Facebook, which discuss weapons and fantasize about a second civil war. One recent meme on Facebook shows a man holding a Boogaloo flag at a protest, along with the phrase “Become unreasonable.”

    “I became unreasonable” is a reference to a quote written by Marvin Heemeyer, an anti-government extremist who bulldozed 13 buildings in Granby, Colorado, in retribution for a zoning dispute. Heemeyer killed himself after the rampage, which occurred on June 4, 2004, almost 16 years to the day of Carrillo’s attack.

    Also believed to be the shooter of a Federal Officer in Oakland as the investigation continues (ABC7 San Francisco)

    @143 In the tradition of Timothy McVeigh and a long line of other rightwing terrorists. Society needs a death penalty for these heartless cop-killers.

    Well, we know 1 person is responsible for torching 5 SPD squad cars, who is now in custody. So the “busloads of antifa” is a petite 25-y.o. female who vanished from Texas a year ago and was living in Tacoma.

    That was quick. Powell is already done in her oral before the DCDC. Just 30 min of questions, even spread among the three members of the panel. Questions tended to invite Powell to elaborate on her claim that Sullivan has no authority. Powell’s responses have been limited, very brief, and lacking substance. They were not hard on her. But she’s not too good at this and that has a lot to do with how short the argument was. She added nothing to her pleading, merely reiterating the same arguments found there with no additional support or context.

    I don’t expect them to be as easy on Wilkinson. But I also expect her to be better prepared.
