Police Unions Are The Enemy. They thwart reform at every turn. ‘I Can’t Breathe’. 70 cases, the same three words. Utterly compelling.
Report: Trump’s Psyche ‘Fragile’. Could Drop Out. Maybe that’s why Pence has started to wear a mask. He would become the first robot to run for President, which is why he didn’t need to wear a mask in the first place. This is rampant speculation that I’m more than happy to run with.
Yep, Russian Bounties Resulted In Death Of US Soldiers. Did they pay off on those bounties? Looks like it. NYTimes reports that American cash has shown up in the hands of some Taliban:
The crucial information that led the spies and commandos to focus on the bounties included the recovery of a large amount of American cash from a raid on a Taliban outpost that prompted suspicions. Interrogations of captured militants and criminals played a central role in making the intelligence community confident in its assessment that the Russians had offered and paid bounties in 2019, another official has said.
I’ve said it before and I’ve been wrong, but this might just bring down Le Grand Orange.
That ‘White Power’ Retweet: Today’s lame excuse: Trump’s a ‘ big fan’ of The Villages, didn’t hear ‘White Power’ chant. If he’s a ‘fan’ of The Villages, he might want to stop the spike in coronavirus cases in The Villages. To (half-) wit:
The counties that comprise the villages are Sumter County and Lake County, Florida. Cases in Sumter County have grown by over 600% in the past two weeks, and cases in Lake County have more than tripled. And that’s with Florida’s underreporting of cases. BTW (I can’t make this up), Trump is also a big fan of a St. Louis white couple who pointed guns at police reform protestors.
Why The Mueller Probe Failed. In a word, timidity. It’s worth reading all the words of this outstanding article, though.
NYPD Used Curfew To Terrorize Black Families. Spare me the ‘few bad apples’ meme. Police work attracts racists who just want to bust heads.
Why Many Utah D’s Have Registered As R’s. Call it the ‘Reverse Markell Effect’. They’re trying to help nominate a moderate R for governor. Might just work.
The Coming Cash Cliff For Unemployed Americans. You, of course, know who will be hit hardest by the slashing of these benefits.
Delaware At Much Higher Flood Risk Than FEMA Projects. How about second only to Louisiana?
