People talk about how all of this will push squishy Law And Order type moderates to Trump, but at this point it's pretty obvious to anyone except the most irrational reactionary that Trump is a source of disorder and things would be a lot quieter under the other old white guy.

It's been 24 hours and I still have yet to see any NRA member standing up to this military occupation they always say they need guns for.

After days in which the empathy he expressed for George Floyd, the man killed, was overshadowed by his combative threats to ramp up violence against looters and rioters, Mr. Trump spent Sunday out of sight, even as some of his campaign advisers were recommending that he deliver a nationally televised address before another night of possible violence. The building was even emptier than usual as some White House officials planning to work were told not to come in case of renewed unrest.
By nightfall on Sunday, protesters had returned to vicinity of the White House in force, and sirens wailed through much of the downtown Washington as the police rushed to the scene to reinforce the Secret Service and National Guard. The mayor imposed an 11 p.m. curfew in hopes of avoiding late-night clashes.
Mr. Trump remained cloistered inside, periodically sending out Twitter messages like “LAW & ORDER!” While some aides urged him to keep off Twitter, Mr. Trump could not resist blasting out a string of messages through the day berating Democrats for not being tough enough and attributing the turmoil to radical leftists…

Minneapolis is on fire, and I want to restate here what I said earlier elsewhere- the military can accidentally drop a bomb on the wrong target and kill 100 people and call it collateral damage and Americans shrug their shoulders so ask me how many fucks I give that a Target and some liquor stores …

This is just *chef kiss*: Of all of the scummy, lowlife hacks at the National Review, the one stepping up to attempt to try to smear the victim and rehab the image of that racist Central Park Karen is a guy named Kyle and I just can not get enough of it.
