His father was definitely racist, which he absorbed and then mainstreamed to make it palatable enough to serve his purposes. He knows exactly where that line is (unlike with his treatment of women), and he keeps pushing at it and pushing at it, except he doesn’t realize that he’s no longer on the winning side of the NFL anthem argument or the winning side of the “law and order” argument. Charlottesville was close to going over the edge. As a businessman, he knows he risks endangering his brand...which makes him much more dangerous than a common, everyday run of the mill racist...because he manipulates his followers to act out without having to face any real consequences of his exercise of free speech. That said, if you asked everyone in America who was an independent or unregistered voter if “defunding police departments” (without explaining how those financial resources would be reallocated) you’d likely have a majority in favor of preserving police departments, including the current and likely to be former mayor of Minneapolis. People throw around the word "racist" so much. There are a ton of racists in the world, but there also are millions of people who are NOT racist. Why don't we ever celebrate them? In fact I'd say most people are not racist. I truly believe that. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

caulfield12 Posted June 9, 2020 Share Posted June 9, 2020 Trump's tweet: Buffalo protester shoved by Police could be an ANTIFA provocateur. 75 year old Martin Gugino was pushed away after appearing to scan police communications in order to black out the equipment. @OANN I watched, he fell harder than was pushed.

caulfield12 Posted June 9, 2020 Share Posted June 9, 2020 A secret police scanner! A trick fall! A potential ANTIFA setup! It’s like the Triple Crown of Trump crazy all jammed into one cockamamie tweet. But maybe he’s on to something, so perhaps let’s track down the pseudo-sourced allegation, which originated from the pseudo-news organization OANN. So what kind of reporting was Trump relying on from the far-right propaganda outlet? Take a look for yourself. Seriously. It literally sounds like it was narrated by a Russian-accented computer program. It’s like Siri went to Moscow and had a stroke. Let’s leave aside the veracity of the report, which, come on, and drill down on the fact that Trump watched this piece of creepy video spam and thought: That’ll play. People are saying, just asking the questions, after all. To quote our new Russian cyborg overlord: “an old trick.” Yes, indeed, comrade. https://slate.com/news-and-politics/2020/06/trump-crazypants-oann-news-report-narratedrussian-accented-computer.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caulfield12 Posted June 9, 2020 Share Posted June 9, 2020 (edited) https://www.cnn.com/2020/06/09/us/washington-family-accused-antifa/index.html The family told the group they weren't affiliated with Antifa and had to drive their bus around multiple vehicles as they left the store, police said. As the family got on the road again, they told police they were followed by at least four vehicles -- two of which seemed to be carrying passengers with semiautomatic rifles. When they reached their destination and set up a tent, they began hearing gunshots and power saws, police said. "The family, concerned for their safety, decided to pack up their camp and leave. As they drove back down the spur road they discovered someone had fell trees across the road, preventing their exit," according to the sheriff's department. Four high school students who were in the area called police and used their chainsaw to clear the road, police said. The sheriff's office is conducting a criminal investigation.
