Who ever thought the postmaster general would become a lightning rod of controversy? I always pictured him sitting around eating Pepperidge Farm cookies and leafing through the Old Farmer’s Almanac to find out when he should plant his heirloom tomatoes. And if Louis DeJoy were drawing a salary to do that I doubt anyone would…

Did an ex-military contractor throw IEDs at Portland protesters
Like the DHS and DoJ contractors deployed with the miscellaneous tactical units, a variety of former military are formally and informally at play during the Portland protests. In this case, a rogue element was pursued by citizen activists because these “contractors” were trying to escalate peaceful protests. The Military Industrial Complex has dregs as well as…
'Sort of hilariously unconstitutional': Arrested protesters told they can no longer attend protests
I’ve spent most of the afternoon watching clips of the U.S. attorney general flouting standards of fairness and the rule of law, so this was a real pick-me-up. It seems some detained Portland protesters are being told, as a condition of their release, that they can no longer attend protests in the state of Oregon….
Tom Cotton: Portland protesters are 'insurrectionists,' just like Confederate traitors
Tom Cotton, the only member of Congress named after his own brain, appeared on Fox & Friends this morning, and he was fixing to put both feet, both hands, and perhaps Brian Kilmeade’s head in his mouth after bellowing more gormless gibberish to an ungrateful world. You see, Donald Trump is just like Abraham Lincoln, and…

which side are you on while brandishing firearms, worrying about protesters “Storming the Bastille”
Hunny Bunny & Clod performed Ozark cosplay in St Louis’s Central West End neighborhood. The court of public opinion is now open and class/race affiliations now emerge to conflict. The private road vestiges from the Gilded Age are always problematic for unarmed folks walking while Black to protest a Mayor who doxxes people. Darn short-cuts. Where…
Protesters try to pull down Andrew Jackson statue in front of White House
Unfortunately, a still recovering nation has civil unrest which will be exploited by complicated agendas, especially with some malign elements that actually want a second Civil War. One way to do it is to help topple monuments, even pre-Civil War ones. Slave-holder and the Trail of Tears, the $20 bill still has his portrait and…
militia vigilantes shoot one, as protesters attempt to remove New Mexico conquistador statue
More monuments to oppressors probably need to be removed, just not by force and not with armed reactionaries doing militia cosplay. This time it’s in Albuquerque New Mexico. x If you don’t know about the New Mexico Civil Guard – you’re about to find a whole lot about them.They are the same ones who “citizen…
CO GOP Rep Dave Williams posts totally legit flyer left behind by “protesters”…
Trumpian Colorado Rep. Dave Williams posted a flyer on his Twitter feed that he claims was found at the Colorado capitol building. Dave isn’t the sharpest tack in the box. x Apparently, this flyer was found outside the CO Capitol during the “peaceful†protests. Obviously, this is unacceptable to say the least. Encouraging violence &…

Protesters line up body bags outside Trump's Washington hotel
Maybe this will get Donald Trump’s attention. Okay, probably not. He’s too focused on coming up with outside-the-brain-box solutions, like injecting disinfectant into COVID-19 patients. x Body bags in front of Trump DC hotel pic.twitter.com/XNQoMZcs3Q — Scott Dworkin (@funder) April 23, 2020 Normally, I’d follow up with an appropriate measure of snark, but this says it…
Trump economic adviser compares anti-shelter-in-place protesters to Rosa Parks
Oh, hell no. Stephen Moore, the crank economist who thinks tax cuts are the medicine for whatever ails you, is planning a “drive-in” protest against Wisconsin’s Safer at Home policy, and he’s making a comparison that’s, well, pretty fucking offensive. Politico: “They’re going to shut down the Capitol — shh, don’t tell anybody,” Moore, a…
Trump on Anti-Lockdown Protesters: “They Seem To Be Very Responsible People To Me”
How many deaths would you condone in order to liberate your state’s economy? When you admit to an acceptable number of deaths you have already lost the argument. Crimes against humanity are on the horizon for Individual-1. x Huge bump in coronavirus in states without stay at home orders. Oklahoma – 53% increase in cases…
