Trump On His Way To Kenosha
[guest post by Dana]
President Trump flew to Kenosha today in spite of Gov. Evers and the mayor requesting that he not come. He made these comments when he landed in Illinois en route to Wisconsin:
Trump told reporters he was traveling to Wisconsin to meet members of law enforcement and the National Guard who “put out the flame immediately.”
“It’s just been a great state — great people and we’re going to get it straightened out,” Trump told reporters after deplaning Air Force One in Waukegan, Illinois, before traveling to nearby Kenosha.
“Violence has stopped since the time the National Guard came — literally when they set their foot on this location it stopped,” Trump said. National Guard troops were in Kenosha starting last Monday, the day before Tuesday’s deadly shooting of two protesters.
It looks like Trump will have company in Kenosha:
Trump’s visit comes as the family of Blake, faith leaders from 50 organizations, including Rev. Jesse Jackson, are scheduled to hold their own event at the site where Blake was shot…
Oh, and a good thing Trump still has people willing to save him from himself :
While discussing the shooting of Jacob Blake with Fox News ahead of his visit to Kenosha, Wisconsin, President Donald Trump said some police officers who shoot unarmed suspects “choke,” as if missing a 3-foot putt in golf, a comment that drew social media criticism and mockery.
…
While discussing the situation in Kenosha during a White House news briefing on Monday, Trump said sometimes an officer “makes a mistake” or “chokes” under pressure.
Trump elaborated on that point later Monday during an interview on “The Ingraham Angle” on Fox News, during which he said police are “under siege.”
“They can do 10,000 great acts, which is what they do, and one bad apple – or a choker, you know, a choker, they choke – shooting the guy in the back many times,” Trump told host Laura Ingraham.
“I mean, couldn’t you have done something different? Couldn’t you have wrestled him?” Trump asked, wondering how the tragedy could have been avoided. “You know, I mean, in the meantime he might have been going for a weapon and, you know, there’s a whole big thing there.”
“But they choke, just like in a golf tournament, they miss a 3-foot putt,” Trump said as Ingraham, one his staunchest supporters in the news media, cut him off.
“You’re not comparing it to golf, because that’s what the media would say,” Ingraham said.

Oh brother.

nk (1d9030) — 9/1/2020 @ 11:58 amIn reading the latest progressive spin on the rioting, I am struck at how they think they can get away with trying to make us believe that there is some sort of peaceful BLM crew who marches and protests from noon to 8:00 pm, and then at 8:00 pm they depart and are replaced by raging anarchists from antifa. As if there were a factory whistle signaling the shift change and protesters punching in and out using time-clocks. The reality is that a whole lot of those violent antifa folks are protesting side by side with the “peaceful” crew throughout the day, despite how the Democrats and their media allies want to frame this, and a lot of these “peaceful” BLM protesters are happy to smash windows and set fires after the sun goes down. I think someone from the Trump campaign ought to make that point clear.
JVW (ee64e4) — 9/1/2020 @ 12:05 pmFake news media are always saying that Trump said what he said. Or just playing the clips. Don’t believe them!
Radegunda (e1ea47) — 9/1/2020 @ 12:17 pmI mean, why would we think he may have had a stroke? At least that would be an excuse, if he didn’t have a stroke then he’s just a total dumbutt, which is better? Stroke probably, mentally defective for sure.

nk (1d9030) — 9/1/2020 @ 12:49 pmIn perusing the Twitter feeds of the more obvious left-leaning journos, they don’t appear to be posting photos of burnt-out and destroyed buildings in Kenosha for some weird reason…
Dana (292df6) — 9/1/2020 @ 12:49 pmFrom what i read about the protland riots there were large, peaceful protests during the day and evening. Most of the people go home and what’s left are violent a-holes.
Similar thing happened near me. Large march and speeches with no issues. 4 hours after dark it thing went bad and the police started making arrests.
The a-holes are there with the decent people, but eventually the decent people leave.
I don’t have a solution or any real disagreement with you.
Time123 (306531) — 9/1/2020 @ 12:59 pmThere’s no reason to think this is a reasonable expectation, but I hope Trump finds something to say that will improve the situation. He has tremendous influence over his supporters and this would be a great time to call for deescalation.
Two groups of angry culture warriors getting closer and closer while screaming some version of “I’m not touching you. I have a right to be here” will inevitably result in violence.
From what I’ve been reading this problem is fixed by using enough force to keep the peace, but not so much force (or in a way) that it’s perceived as unjust and increases turnout. Which is hard to do.
Time123 (89dfb2) — 9/1/2020 @ 1:13 pmIke went to Korea.
Trump went to Kenosha.
Biden went to… Pittsburgh.
The flight distance between Wilmington, Delaware and Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania is approximately 240 miles each way — and the flight time is 29 minutes. Each way.
Golly, Joe– jet lag is really rough to recover from, ain’t it… accordingly, per his campaign handlers: Plagiarist JoeyBee has no live events scheduled for today.

Hoi Polloi (dc4124) — 9/1/2020 @ 1:52 pmGOP Sen. Ron Johnson Touts ‘Citizen Soldiers’ To ‘Overwhelm Rioters’
Sen. Ron Johnson, a Wisconsin Republican, said that “citizen soldiers” should mobilize to “overwhelm rioters” on the streets of America.
As for the fatal shooting of protesters in Kenosha last week, he said in a CNN interview Sunday: “Two people died because citizens took matters into their own hands. I’m not for vigilantism; I’m not sure that’s what was happening.”
Johnson declared that “the way you stop the violence, the way you stop the rioting, is you surge manpower and resources, citizen soldiers, National Guard, and you overwhelm the number of rioters.”

BuDuh (39de4a) — 9/1/2020 @ 2:07 pmBudah, Way to pick sexual assault as an example. One of the few areas where people have historically blamed the victim rather than hold perpetrators accountable for their crimes. I assume you didn’t bother to read the whole article? Or do you think a 17 year old illegally take a rifle to a riot was a good idea?
Time123 (89dfb2) — 9/1/2020 @ 2:15 pmHas this been verified?
BuDuh (39de4a) — 9/1/2020 @ 2:16 pm@18-
And you, BuhDuh, edited out “but the term is also used to refer to private militias — like the Kenosha Guard that recruited members on Facebook until their page was shut down for violating the social platform’s ban on militias.”
I believe Sen. Johnson distinguished between “citizen soldiers” and “National Guard” (which are not one and the same) in his statement. If Sen. Johnson meant to say they were the same, he would have said so. And not some clean-up statement by his interpreter.

Not according to his lawyer.
BuDuh (39de4a) — 9/1/2020 @ 2:34 pmHere’s what the law says. he has a right to argue what he likes in his defense. I cut out the long explanation of what a weapon is. Again, we’ll see what a jury finds. I wonder if we’ll see charges for the person that gave him the weapon?

bolivar de gris (7404b5) — 9/1/2020 @ 2:48 pmPlease link to his lawyer denying he’s been charged with the thing that he’s been charged with, because reality is saying that you don’t appear to understand between the charge and his lawyers claim that:
He can argue whatever he wants, but that’s the worst possible argument that he could make. Self defense for all the other charges may be likely, but not so much on the obvious fact that he had what he’s not allowed to have in the state of Wisconsin without supervision.

Citizen soldiers were the National Guard for as long as I can remember.
What folks are thinking of are the militias.
“Organized Militias” being the National Guard.
The “Unorganized Militas”is by law every able-bodied male aged 18 to 44 who was a citizen or intended to become one.
whembly (15c62b) — 9/1/2020 @ 3:11 pmNational guard, reserves, big green, citizenship is not required for any of them.

BuDuh (39de4a) — 9/1/2020 @ 3:39 pmIf its “intended” and not “is worthy of” or “legally eligible for consideration”, a Caravanista in his best Uncle Sam getup…has a chance to be unorganized militia? Let’s say one of the businesses housed an illegal alien relative (e.g. the “child upstairs” or “elderly upstairs”) and they killed in defense of said business or property, provided business owner is born, naturiled or legal alien. What then.
urbanleftbehind (d7454c) — 9/1/2020 @ 3:44 pmBuDuh, cool story bro, and? That’s definitely a link to a completely unrelated thing.
You still don’t have to be a citizen to be in the military. It can help you become a citizen in some cases.
Colonel Klink (Ret) (305827) — 9/1/2020 @ 3:45 pmWhether or not citizens are the only members of the Nat Guard wasn’t the topic. Whether or not the National Guard is referred to as “citizen soldiers” was the topic.
That is cool if you ask me.

So Johnson is either an idiot too, and doesn’t know that you don’t have to citizen to be in the National Guard, or he did.
Colonel Klink (Ret) (305827) — 9/1/2020 @ 3:58 pmjohnson was equivocating about handling the rioters last week, just like general milley sent a signal, when he apologized for a presence at st. johns church, but this is what you reaped when you said lets give the democrats power, and that’s what you want for the rest of us, and junk like lawfare is right in step with the black bloc, and the thousand currents movements, like the sds and the black liberation army, you are familiar with those aren’t you,
bolivar de gris (7404b5) — 9/1/2020 @ 4:13 pmJohnson used approved synonyms, Klink. You are getting nasty for reasons I don’t understand. That makes this less fun. Time to do something else.

bolivar de gris (7404b5) — 9/1/2020 @ 4:17 pmSince Kyle Rittenhouse lives in Illinois, he is a citizen soldier of Wisconsin only under the Communist International definition of citizen.
nk (1d9030) — 9/1/2020 @ 4:20 pmThe US Code defines “unorganized militias” and age ranges, which is 17 to 44. However, I don’t know which law supersedes, Wisconsin or federal, in this case. I’m inclined to think the former, which is the more federalist take on the issue, but IANAL.
Paul Montagu (a2078e) — 9/1/2020 @ 4:32 pmI suspect that Section, 10 USC 246, just defines whom Congress can draft under Article I, Section 8, Clause 15, of the Constitution, Paul:
In fact, I’m pretty sure that’s all that it does.
nk (1d9030) — 9/1/2020 @ 4:45 pmTrump is a man who has been insulated from common life since he was born. This isn’t all that unusual in our presidents, but it is often not good. Not only doesn’t he know the price of milk, he’s not all that sure where people buy milk. To him, it comes in glasses from the servants.
I’m not surprised when he fails at analogies. But he’s too stupid to stop doing so, and he is surrounded by people who won’t even suggest it. I guess golfing analogies are better than gardening ones.
Kevin M (ab1c11) — 9/1/2020 @ 4:56 pmI also must have missed where Rittenhouse was in a recognized militia of the United States, heck, even an unrecognized militia. He was/is a deluded child who made, and allowed to make, a series of terrible decisions.
So whatever Johnson was spouting, he was adding 1+bananas+soap=something.

President Donald Trump on Tuesday touted his administration’s stance against antifa, telling a gathering of law enforcement officials in Kenosha, Wisconsin that his administration is “doing a big number” on the group.
“They don’t want to mention the word ‘antifa,’” Trump said at an afternoon roundtable with police officials, in reference to the media. “Nobody wants to mention it. This is a bad group of people. Very, very bad, very dangerous group of people. And we are doing a big number on antifa. They’re bad.”

…..Carlson questioned Wolf on whether he thinks DHS is getting enough help from the DOJ, asking, “Why haven’t we seen the leaders of Antifa and BLM arrested and charged for conspiracy under, say, RICO, like the heads of the Mafia families were?”
Wolf said he’s spoken with Attorney General Bill Barr and that “they are working on it.” He talked about the number of arrests across the country of people at these riots, saying many of them were arrested in Portland.
He added that the DOJ is targeting and investigating the head of these organizations’ and the people “paying for these individuals to move across the country.”
Rip Murdock (d2a2a8) — 9/1/2020 @ 5:17 pm…..
My guess is that there is no Antifa or BLM “leadership” to arrest. They are decentralized, locally organized groups.

Michael Forest Reinoehl, a man under investigation in connection with Saturday night’s fatal shooting of a Patriot Prayer supporter, was shot in the arm in late July when he tried to wrestle a gun away from a stranger during a chaotic scuffle in downtown Portland.
Portland police are continuing to investigate the skirmish that sent both Reinoehl and the owner of the gun to the hospital. They have made no arrests.
The confrontation was the second time that month that Reinoehl was involved with a gun in downtown. He had been cited by police July 5 for allegedly having a loaded gun in public, though by the end of the month prosecutors had dropped the charge.
Joining the fight was a man who ended up getting arrested in a separate assault in August, accused of kicking another man in the head and knocking him unconscious on Southwest Broadway. The attack was caught on video and went viral.

There’s definitely a “stray voltage” concept here that many attribute to the organize chaos this administration perpetuates:
https://crosbyja.wordpress.com/2018/06/25/the-stray-voltage-theory-of-communication/
It isn’t that far-fetched that some Trump folks are clandestinely sending false stories to the media regarding Trump’s health just to put a huge spotlight on Biden’s health.
That fits with this “stray voltage” theory…
whembly (537f99) — 9/2/2020 @ 7:07 am@73, A couple of false statements there
1. I’m complaining that Trump lied again. A point you haven’t challenged.
Time123 (c9382b) — 9/2/2020 @ 7:12 am2. I’m not ‘concerned’ about strokes. I’m mocking Trump’s recent tweets on the subject and making fun of him.
3. If the round table did good things it’s unfortunate that Trump’s inability to accurately present information detracted from that. You should post a link to some news on the good things they did. I’m not being sarcastic. If it’s out there share it.

It does run the risk of diminishing the contrast between the candidates. But I think mental capability is something the debates are going to settle. People will watch the debates and if Biden comes across as ‘normal’ it will settle the issue.

mahalo
81. This was the New York Post front page story Saturday, Today there is an editorial.
https://nypost.com/2020/08/29/political-insider-explains-voter-fraud-with-mail-in-ballots/
https://nypost.com/2020/08/31/mass-vote-by-mail-really-does-invite-fraud-we-must-guard-against-it
It’s a bit confusing.
This is the takeaway:
1. This took place in New Jersey, in many elections.
2. usually the candidate did not know what he was doing.
3. It was easier in small local elections (probably because there;s a limited number of votes he can fraudulantly cast or lose, and also because the opposition is not aware or alert.
4. Most of it is mail in ballots.
5. The obstacle is not getting ablank ballot. They can be created with a copying machine (and they wouldn’t have marking to identify it because of the secret ballot) The obstacle is the envelopes. They must be collected from real voters.
6. He’d have people go house to house, convincing voters to let them mail completed ballots on their behalf as a public service. But they wouldn’t put them in the mail just like that. They’d steam them open. If it was not to their liking. they’d remove the real ballot, place the counterfeit ballot inside the signed certificate, and reseal the envelope. “Five minutes per ballot tops,” he said.
7. He said in the recent Paterson, New Jersey election the people who did that made a mistake – they put the ballots into only 3 mailboxes. He used to scatter them all over town.
8. In close elections, partisans from both parties hash out and count ballots at the local board of elections — debating which ballots make the cut and which need to be thrown out because of irregularities. Any ballots that came from him were marked, like playing cards, with a bent corner along the voter certificate — which contains the voter signature — so Democratic Board of Election counters would know the fix was in and not to object. It s actually no longer bent by the time it gets to them, but if you look closely, you can see its been folded in the past..
9. Sometimes he had postal employees in on the scheme. It could be that they didn’t deliver ballots to certain neighborhoods but gave them to him instead. He had some mail carriers in his crew. Strong union guys.
Sometimes they’d intercept filled out ballots being returned in the post office, if, say, they figured 95% were going to the Republican.
10. Another idea is assisted-living facilities or nursing homes where a nurse or aide is actually a paid operative. “…they go room by room by room to these old people who still want to feel like they’re relevant,” [They] literally fill it out for them.”
11. Another idea is registering homeless voters and paying them for the ballots, which they can fill out. A poor alcoholic will sell his vote for very little cash, and won’t tell anyone. {the article doesn’t say that they took the ballot and filled it out themselves but that would make sense, after maybe getting his signature on the outside envelope) Or maybe they’d just give them the money and trust them to vote in person the way they wanted. The homeless person had no real opinion.
12. When all else failed, they could try in person voting. They’d pick people who never voted in that kind of an election. They would fill an index cards with that person’s name and district, and maybe also give them the signature to try to copy (?), and give it to the fake voter.”In the rare instance that a real voter had already signed in and cast a ballot, the impersonator would just chalk it up to an innocent mistake and bolt.”

mg (8cbc69) — 9/2/2020 @ 8:36 am14. From the Washington Examiner article:

Sammy Finkelman (b66da2) — 9/2/2020 @ 8:47 amPelosi becomes acting president only if there is an unresolved dispute in Congress as to how to count the Electoral votes, but enough of the House has been sworn in (there’s no minimum) to elect her Speaker. If the House has not elected a speaker, but the Senate is in session, either Senator Chuck Grassley or Patrick Leahy becomes acting president, depending on which political party holds the majority..

Yes, there were numerous accounts of gunshots right before Rittenhouse turned to confront Rosenbaum.
FWIW… Rosenbaum was convicted and is a registered sex offender:

Time123 (b87ded) — 9/2/2020 @ 9:23 am@95
Not by itself no… but, it shows Rosenbaum was indeed a very aggressive individual, so it’s not a stretch to believe that he pursued Rittenhouse to try to take his rifle (as he alleged).
Furthermore, there were noises in the past that this was the “wrong” Rosenbaum to try to garner more sympathy here.

A Portland driver is accused of hitting federal officers’ rental car twice over the weekend — once on Interstate 84 and again near a hospital, authorities say.
Lonnie Vantewa Albert, 55, has been charged in federal court with assaulting a federal officer. He appeared in court Tuesday and was released from Multnomah County custody the same day.
The officers left the downtown Edith Green-Wendell Wyatt Federal Building, which is next to the Multnomah County Justice Center, in Sunday’s early-morning hours, court documents show.
They were on Interstate 84, heading to their hotel in a rental car, when one of them noticed an SUV passing them on the left.
The officer who was driving noticed the SUV’s driver, later identified by authorities as Albert, glance toward him. The officer’s shoulder patch was visible, according to court documents.
Albert turned sharply in front of the officers’ car, almost hitting it, according to the documents, and later hit the car. His car spun after hitting the officers’ car, and one of the officers got out to see if he was hurt.
Albert eventually pursued the officers’ car and hit it a second time, the documents show. Portland police arrested him.

There is no video that shows the victim spraying or firing at Reinoehl with anything.
How many times have we heard “inciting response” from you in reference to the clubs, nails, feces, laser beams, cans of soup Antifa and BLM have hurled at police and counter protesters? Zilch.
beer ‘n pretzels (b1a479) — 9/2/2020 @ 12:05 pmYes, there is, from the same NYT link. Danielson fired pepper spray and was shot almost immediately after.
I don’t know, but the “protesters” who damage property and commit violence are also “inciting response”. One standard, applied to all.
Paul Montagu (a2078e) — 9/2/2020 @ 12:19 pm@118, There are a lot of facts we don’t know about the shooting in Portland. But I haven’t seen anything that would suggest it was done in self defense.
-If a-holes are driving around assaulting people with paint balls and pepper spray it doesn’t justify killing someone that agrees with them politically.
-If the deceased was one of those a holes earlier in the day, and we don’t know that he was, it doesn’t justify someone shooting them later in the day.
Biden’s answer, while close to being OK had two significant problems with it.
Time123 (b87ded) — 9/2/2020 @ 12:22 pmHe said the officer should be charged. I’m fine with investigated but I think calling for changes is premature.
He misrepresented the circumstances of the shooting in Portland in a way that will inflame the situation and not calm it. I don’t think this was intentional. He volunteered that and it the message was that violence by the left isn’t OK. I think he just messed up his answer. But it’s still a screw up, especially since it was his idea to add it.
Yes, we do know he was one of those a-holes. The video of Mr. Danielson firing a paintball gun from the back of a moving pickup doesn’t lie.
Paul Montagu (a2078e) — 9/2/2020 @ 12:27 pmI agree, that Biden should’ve said “investigated”, not “charged”.
Paul, the guy with the paint ball gun in the video is bigger and heavier set then danielson. They’re also dressed differently.
Time123 (b87ded) — 9/2/2020 @ 12:29 pmThe video of the shooting isn’t very clear. It does show witnesses. I’d like to know what they have to say…under oath.
Time123 (b87ded) — 9/2/2020 @ 12:30 pmOkay, I stand corrected. That wasn’t Danielson firing the paintball gun.
Paul Montagu (a2078e) — 9/2/2020 @ 12:41 pm94. I’m talking about the 20th amendment, not the 12th amendment.
The 12th amendment deals which a situation in which everyone agrees on who won how many Electoral votes, or there is enough agreement so as to say no candidate for president won a majority. In that case the House votes, by state (effective majority about 57% because sates can be divided and not cast a vote and one more than half the number of states is needed) among the top three candidates. The Senate votes individually among the top two for vice president.
While the House can be deadlocked, there virtually cannot be a deadlock in the Senate. The old vice president (term expires later than that of members of Congress) votes in case of a tie.
The 20th amendment deals with a case where the president elect has died or failed to qualify, and the vice president elect also. In that case Congress can decide by law who shall then act as a president. And the law now probably is the same thing as in the presidential succession act last changed in 1947.
Now the way for no president and no vice president to qualify is by Congress not being able to count the electoral vote because of competing certifications.

Davethulhu (3988bc) — 9/2/2020 @ 12:57 pmThere virtually cannot be a deadlock in the choice for vice president.
Aside:
In all cases so far when the election was thrown into the House of Representatives, the House never chose between more than two people and it was not necessary to choose a vice president.
This is because, in the Election of 1800, although at that time the Electors did not distinguish between who they wanted for president and who the wanted for vice president, and the House voted among the top five finishers, they actually could only choose between two because Thomas Jefferson and Aaron Burr were in a tie and they both were the only ones who got a majority of the number of Electors. The loser automatically became vice president.
In the election of 1824, the House again cold only choose between two, because the third place candidate, Secretary of the Treasury William H. Crawford had been disabled by a stroke, which many people, out in the states, did not know. (He wasn’t replaced) The members of the House couldn’t choose him. It was a political trick by some people to offer him as a choice. Henry Clay came in 4th and was out of the running. as for the vice president, most politicians had left the field to Secretary of War John C. Calhoun (later, circa 1832 of nullification and the concurrent majority and still later, but not till about 1840, infamous as the chief proponent of the idea of slavery as a positive good) and he won that position of overwhelmingly. Calhoun was not so controversial in 1824. Not that you couldn’t have found problems with John C. Calhoun from what he did earlier, but, as I said, the major politicians let him grab the mostly powerless office of vice president in return for not running for president. Maybe Calhoun was hoping to step up to the presidency in case nobody was elected or in case Crawford was and he died or could be induced to resign. It’s an idea to look into a biography of John C. Calhoun.
In 1828, Andrew Jackson mostly accepted him as a candidate in that position. (Calhoun resigned in 1832 to take a seat in the United States Senate.)
The Senate, interestingly, once chose a vice president in a year when the House did not need to choose a president. In the election of 1836, the Whigs did not choose a single candidate for vice president, and the Democratic choice for president, Martin Van Buren, had someone other than his candidate, win Virginia’s 23 electoral votes for vice president, carrying him below a majority. Maybe because they knew he had a black mistress whom, in the circumstances of the time, he couldn’t marry.

Maybe, unlike the police, he ran to track down the murderer — who, oddly, had already run away. Or, another weird possibility given that it’s Portland, he was following police instructions to clear the area.
Days later, Reinoehl is still a free man despite being ID’d by his own sister. The “buddy” probably stands a better chance of exacting justice. To listen to POS Kate Brown and Wheeler, the murderer was Patriot Prayer.

I see the police push him away, Davethulhu. He’s nowhere near the cop asking for witnesses, who is actually looking at the cameraman who says nothing in response. He’s engaged with another cop.
The victim is surrounded by police at that point and people posing as medics. It looks to me he gets frustrated and leaves the area for that reason. And, he leaves in the direction of where the shooter ran.

His attorney said Rittenhouse was exercising his right to defend the community.
“Kyle and all able-bodied males between the ages of 17 and 45 are part of the unorganized United States Militia,” the lawyer, John Pierce, said in an email. “He was in Kenosha as part of his right and duty to protect his community where the state and local government had totally failed in their most basic responsibility to provide law and order.
“Specifically, he was there to protect the people and property of Kenosha from rioters bent on destroying it and burning it to the ground,” Pierce continued. “All United States citizens have this right and obligation where government fails. No American is too young to possess a rifle when state and local government refuses to protect them.”

Sen. Rob Johnson declared that “the way you stop the violence, the way you stop the rioting, is you surge manpower and resources, citizen soldiers, National Guard, and you overwhelm the number of rioters.”
I believe Sen. Johnson knowingly distinguished between “citizen soldiers” and “National Guard” (which are not one and the same) in his statement. Sen. Johnson should have been proud of his statement, as “citizen soldiers” (as unorganized militia) are as old as the USA. His statement is pretty clear, and did not need to be “reinterpreted” for the media by his staff.

Sooner or later NeverTrumpers are going to discover why it keeps hurting when they keep smacking themselves in the forehead with a 2X4.

bolivar de gris (7404b5) — 9/2/2020 @ 2:42 pmHHS bids $250 million contract meant to ‘defeat despair and inspire hope’ on coronavirus
As the presidential election fast approaches, the Department of Health and Human Services is bidding out a more than $250 million contract to a communications firm as it seeks to “defeat despair and inspire hope” about the coronavirus pandemic, according to an internal HHS document obtained by POLITICO.
Several weeks ago, the department sent out to a number of communications firms a “performance work statement,” which lays out what work will be expected of the winning firm. The document says that the vast majority of the money will be spent from now until January.
The document also lists the goals of the contract: “defeat despair and inspire hope, sharing best practices for businesses to operate in the new normal and instill confidence to return to work and restart the economy,” build a “coalition of spokespeople” around the country, provide important public health, therapeutic and vaccine information as the country reopens, and give Americans information on the phases of reopening.
“By harnessing the power of traditional, digital and social media, the sports and entertainment industries, public health associations, and other creative partners to deliver important public health and economic information the administration can defeat despair, inspire hope and achieve national recovery,” the document also says.

Public relations rathole.
That is amazing. 14 points up two weeks out. I went down a rabbit hole reading the author of that article and by the time I was done I was almost a Trump voter. Cancel culture, depravity, and a shield from the opinions of anyone she disagrees with. You’re definitely correct that if Trump has a chance many who hate Trump won’t see it coming.
It would be so easy to win if the political parties didn’t screw around. I think Biden’s an effort to go to the center. He’s also not much of a leader and has taken the easy path every time he could, so I just have no enthusiasm about him, and sometimes I want him to lose almost as much as Trump.
Still, it’s a gorgeous day and my little hotel room here has a nice view of the Sandia mountains. America is still a good place to be. We’re on the cusp of good change. I can feel it in my bones. Every bit of information suggests the opposite, but ten years from now we will be better.
Dustin (5418f4) — 9/2/2020 @ 2:44 pmYou’re messing with me. Nothing of the sort happens.
Not messing with you. He gets pushed away at 0:50 in the video you linked.
I’m not doing any of these things. I’m also getting tired of repeating myself.
OK, Davethulhu, it seems you don’t have a point to make that’s significant. I agree no need to repeat it.
beer ‘n pretzels (501761) — 9/2/2020 @ 3:04 pm“Not messing with you. He gets pushed away at 0:50 in the video you linked.”
Yes, but he doesn’t run away then. He’s talking with another cop until about 1:07, when he starts yelling and then runs off.
Davethulhu (3988bc) — 9/2/2020 @ 3:16 pmHere’s what I think we know
2 guys that didn’t like each other and were likely not up to anything good met on a street.
Both had weapons; pepper spray and a gun.
One’s dead, the other is on the run.
Video doesn’t prove much more than that.
Again, would love to know more.
Time123 (fe8c30) — 9/2/2020 @ 3:27 pm@153. The cusp has been passed… it takes time– a few miles, or election cycles to change course; to turn a loaded oil tanker, or the ship of state. Our Captain is already at the helm; JoeyBee is driftwood to be waked aside– or a sluggish seal, propeller bound.
DCSCA (797bc0) — 9/2/2020 @ 3:39 pmInteresting metaphor. To some extent, he clearly did want to disrupt our institutions, perhaps even cause riots and economic damage, to restore his idea of what the economy was like. He spoke about it before election and Bannon laid it out. But it’s hard for me to imagine Trump in control.
It’s like that casino that went broke. Perhaps that was Trump’s plan. Launder a billion dollars for the Russians, go bankrupt, take a huge tax write-off, never share your tax returns with anybody. If you subscribe to this theory of Trump’s leadership he is at the helm.
If you just think COVID, the job losses, the riots, they all just happened to Trump, he isn’t helming the nation.
If you’re right, nk is also right about what Trump deserves.
Dustin (5418f4) — 9/2/2020 @ 3:54 pmTrump’s Eviction Moratorium Could set a Dangerous Precedent
On Saturday, the federal government’s Center for Disease Control will issue a new regulation barring eviction of millions of residential tenants around the country. If it survives likely legal challenges, the new policy would set a dangerous precedent undermining federalism, the separation of powers, and property rights. Conservatives, in particular, will have reason to regret it when a Democratic president inherits the same sweeping powers.
The CDC policy bars eviction, until the end of the year, of any residential tenant who makes a sworn declaration to the effect that they 1) have “used best efforts to obtain all available government assistance for rent or housing,” 2) they expect to earn less than $99,000 ($198,000 for joint tax filers) in 2020 or did not have to report any income to the IRS in 2019, or received a stimulus check under CARES Act, 3) “the individual is unable to pay the full rent… due to substantial loss of household income… , a lay-off, or extraordinary out-of-pocket medical expenses” 4) “the individual is using best efforts to make timely partial payments that are as close to the full payment as the individual’s circumstances may permit” and 5) “eviction would likely render the individual homeless—or force the individual to move into and live in close quarters in a new congregate or shared living setting.”
…….[T]he claimed authorization here is 42 CFR Section 70.2 a regulation that gives the Director of the CDC the power to “take such measures to prevent such spread of the [communicable] diseases as he/she deems reasonably necessary, including inspection, fumigation, disinfection, sanitation, pest extermination, and destruction of animals or articles believed to be sources of infection.” The CDC can take such measures anywhere it deems local and state regulations to be “insufficient” to limit the spread of disease across state borders.
……
……[T]he CDC need not prove that the regulations in question really are “reasonably necessary” or that state restrictions really are “insufficient.” They need only assert (“deem”) that such is the case.
This broad interpretation of the regulation would give the executive the power to restrict almost any type of activity. Pretty much any economic transaction or movement of people and goods could potentially spread disease in some way. Nor is that authority limited to particularly deadly diseases such as Covid-19. It could just as readily apply to virtually any other communicable disease, such as the flu or even the common cold.
Rip Murdock (d2a2a8) — 9/2/2020 @ 4:13 pm……..
If Trump can use this authority to impose a nationwide eviction moratorium, Joe Biden (or some other future president) could use it to impose a nationwide mask mandate, a nationwide lockdown, or just about any other restriction of any activity that could potentially reduce the spread of the flu, the common cold, or any other disease.
……..
159.
FIFY, Rip. The precedence has already been set (under a Trump presidency, even) that virtually anything can be done in the name of “public health” and/or “safety,” whether or not those measures are even founded on a true premise.

DCSCA (797bc0) — 9/2/2020 @ 5:55 pmThere’s at least a rational argument for masks. We can debate effectiveness, but the mechanism is clear. What’s the public health rationale for this?
