Sadly. there are Hoyas who "support his agenda". He's a sociopath. I'm waitng for him to weaponize the killing of George Floyd to fire up his racist base. He is a sick and twisted human being. It took 3 days for the sociopath to politicize the Floyd killing. He must be slowing down as he descends into dementia. But some of you continue to "support his agenda."

This is who the Minneapolis Police killed. And the sociopath cynically seeks to exploit his death with the silence of the Republican Party. The rest of the country knows George Floyd from several minutes of cell phone footage captured during his final hours. But in Houston’s Third Ward, they know Floyd for how he lived for decades—a mentor to a generation of young men and a “person of peace” ushering ministries into the area. Before moving to Minneapolis for a job opportunity through a Christian work program, the 46-year-old spent almost his entire life in the historically black Third Ward, where he was called “Big Floyd” and regarded as an “OG,” a de-facto community leader and elder statesmen, his ministry partners say. www.christianitytoday.com/news/2020/may/george-floyd-ministry-houston-third-ward-church.htmlIndeed, anger is the appropriate response, but not the only response. And, this moment should remind us that cameras tell us what happened, but they also remind us of how many incidents there have been without those cameras. All of us, if we follow the news on a semi-regular basis, have seen way too many moments like this. I am weary. And I am mad. Cameras continue to show us what many African Americans have known for years. www.christianitytoday.com/edstetzer/2020/may/george-floyd-central-park-911-call-and-all-places-cameras.html

An egregious message from Fox News on the Minnesota press conference, even for Fox.
When other network chyrons note that the governor said that justice for the victims would be swift, the Fox chyron read: "Justice for Officers Will be Swift"
CNN uses the phrase "protesters". Fox calls them "rioters". The man at 1600 Penn watches Fox.

"They did not discuss anything having to do with the United States’ decision to expel diplomats or impose censure against Russia." - Mike Pence , January 15, 2017 Oh just Flynn working with the Russians to undermine the current President. The Flynn transcripts shows what we always knew - he lied. He and Kislyak DID discuss sanctions. At length. Flynn is the one who brought it up. No way this just slipped his mind. Is this Obamagate elvado?

If we don’t get a wholesale change in leadership in Nov after these past couple months, I think we can start to think of the US as a failed state (or on its way to one). It’s unbelievable that anyone will vote for more of this let alone the 60 million plus that will. If there are enough votes to keep this debate running for four more years, I don’t know what to think.

In the Rose Garden, Trump calls himself "an ally of all peaceful protesters." At the very same moment outside the White House, police and troops have moved against peaceful protesters with tear gas and flash bangs.
The crowd was peaceful. This was before curfew.
Thousands of people were just tear gassed and beaten so Trump could have his picture taken.

You are 100% correct. Even CNN noted that “the lights at the White House go off every night around 11 p.m.“ The doctored picture was nonetheless tweeted by Hillary Clinton, David Axelrod and others.

EasyEd, who are you going to vote for the U.S. Senate seat in S.C. in November? Graham or Cunningham?

If Obama and Eric Holder tear gassed Tea Party protesters so he could walk up the street for a photo op what would you say?

If Obama and Eric Holder tear gassed Tea Party protesters so he could walk up the street for a photo op what would you say? You'd hear the opposite of "The Sounds of Silence" from the GOP and Trump cultists - they'd be drawing up articles of impeachment. Remember when too many EOs were grounds for impeachment? You heard nothing from the GOP as the sociopath laid waste to the norms and institutions of American democracy. Just as most GOPers scurry for the tall grass when a mike is thrust in their faces asking whether Trump's actions at St. John's were appropriate. Ipsos/Reuters poll - 56% disapprove of Trump's handling of the protests. Only 33% approve. 73% support the protests only 20% do not. Trump approval in 538 54% disapprove, 42.7% disapprove. In the immediate aftermath when Trump finally recognized the pandemic, the "rally around the flag" effect had it 49-45%. That has dissipated. SecDef and CJCS should resign.
