Trump officials (including Attorney General Barr) declare there is no systemic racism in policing.
Analysis of police data submitted to the FBI shows that in 800 jurisdictions, black people are arrested at a rate five times higher than white people. In 250 jurisdictions, black people are arrested at ten times the rate of white people.
You people are missing the incredible fundraising opportunity they have here.
I Australia, the National Rugby League football competition has just restarted, and they have the stadium seats filled with cutout images of the fans. For $22, you can upload your picture, and they stick it on a weatherproof backing, and place it in the stands.
Trump could do this for his rallies. For the bargain price of, say, 200 bucks, you could pay for your avatar to be part of the crowd. They could even have a tiered system, where you pay more to be near the front, or behind Trump when he speaks.
According to a tweet from CNN’s Jim Sciutto, the GOP-led Senate Armed Services Committee is defying Trump and adopting an amendment to remove the names of Confederate generals from military assets within three years:
This is definitely going to piss off the Orange-faced Shitgibbon.
Maybe even more than NASCAR eliminating the KKK flag.
Maybe even more than Miley refusing to go along with future photo ops
Maybe even more than the Armed Services Committee renaming bases
Maybe even more than the mayor of Seattle telling him to “go back to your bunker”
I get the feeling that Trump has used this moment to demand that people choose sides even harder than before. He’s always been devisive, but now more organizations, people, companies, and military need to decide which side they are on. And they are not choosing Trump.
I quite hope that a tipping point is reached sooner rather than later, and Trump is effectively isolated in his bunker until the end of the election.
Or do you mean he’ll be pissed at the half-measure of scaling back the convention in Charlotte, just moving the location of his acceptance speech instead of moving the whole convention?
