As Trump Rises, So Do Some Hands Waving Confederate Battle Flags
Nov. 18, 2016
For a brief moment, after a white supremacist carried out a massacre of black churchgoers in Charleston, S.C., it seemed as though the Confederate battle flag, that most divisive of symbols, might soon be on its way out of the American political arena.
But now that explosive and complicated vestige of the Old South is back, in a new — and, to some Americans, newly disturbing — context. During President-elect Donald J. Trump’s campaign, followers drawn to his rallies occasionally displayed the flag and other Confederate iconography. Since the election, his supporters and others have displayed the flag as a kind of rejoinder to anti-Trump protesters in places such as Durango, Colo.; St. Petersburg, Fla.; Hampton, Va.; Fort Worth; and Traverse City, Mich.
On Election Day in Silverton, Ore., the flag appeared at a high school Trump rally, where students reportedly told Hispanic classmates, “Pack your bags; you’re leaving tomorrow.” The day after, at Kenyon College in Ohio, the college’s president, Sean M. Decatur, spoke to a worried campus, describing his discomfort at seeing Confederate flags on display in the nearby city of Mount Vernon.
Dorothy Robinson, 37, said that seeing the battle flag flying at a traditional postelection unity parade in her hometown, Georgetown, Del., felt “like someone had punched me in the gut.”
Those who have publicly embraced the flag are a small minority of the more than 60 million Americans who voted for Mr. Trump in the Nov. 8 election.
But these incidents, and hundreds of reports of insults and threats directed at minorities and others, are forcing Americans to confront vexing questions about the future of race relations under Mr. Trump and the extent to which his campaign has animated white resentment and even a budding white nationalism.
The emergence of the flag in a postelection context also comes as liberals and others have harshly criticized Mr. Trump for appointing as his chief White House strategist Stephen K. Bannon, the former head of Breitbart News, a website they accuse of trafficking in anti-Semitic, misogynist and anti-Muslim ideas.
Shortly after the June 17, 2015, Charleston massacre, an article posted on Breitbart argued that the Confederacy was “a patriotic and idealistic cause,” and that its flag “proclaims a glorious heritage.”
“Every tree, every rooftop, every picket fence, every telegraph pole in the South should be festooned with the Confederate battle flag,” the author, Gerald Warner, wrote. “Hoist it high and fly it with pride.”
How much the flag’s resurgence reflects anything more than the sentiments of those who fly it remains unclear.
Mr. Trump, a native New Yorker, declared shortly after announcing his candidacy that he supported a call by Gov. Nikki R. Haley of South Carolina to remove the flag from the grounds of the Statehouse there after the mass shooting in Charleston. The State Legislature, after passionate debate, eventually agreed to remove the flag.
“I think they should put it in the museum, let it go, respect whatever it is that you have to respect, because it was a point in time, and put it in a museum,” Mr. Trump told reporters at the time.
Historians say the battle flag has had shifting meanings over time: a symbol of white resistance to integration during the Civil Rights era, a more complicated but still racially charged symbol now.
Grace Elizabeth Hale, a professor of American studies and history at the University of Virginia who has written extensively about the South, segregation and white Americans, said the flag had long been a symbol for outsiders and a rebuke to the forces of decorum and political correctness.
She said its use now, both in the South and outside it, could be seen as an expression of concern that white culture “has been displaced as the norm.”
“Maybe for the first time ever, definitely in my lifetime, people outside the South are, in a very public way, claiming a white racial identity,” she said.
Stephen Moss, a Republican state representative from the small town of Blacksburg, S.C., was one of a number of lawmakers who voted against removing the flag from the Statehouse grounds in July 2015. To Mr. Moss, a supporter of Mr. Trump, the flag represents the heritage of those who fought for the Confederacy. But he acknowledged that the flag had also been “hijacked by hate groups.
Asked why the flag was turning up in the hands of Trump supporters, he said he thought that it might be part of a backlash of working white voters who suspect that people — in their minds, often minorities — are taking advantage of the federal welfare system.
“A lot of these people who go to work every day are in the line at the grocery store, and over half the people are bringing out these cards” to pay for the groceries, he said.
Two days after the presidential race concluded, Ms. Robinson, a writer and editor who lives in Maplewood, N.J., was back in her hometown to watch the Return Day parade, a long-running tradition in which winners and losers of local elections ride through town together in a show of unity, and party leaders come together to bury an actual hatchet.
There were marching bands and smiling faces, and Ms. Robinson felt that perhaps the country was on its way to healing after a particularly ugly election.
Then a white Chevrolet pickup rolled by, flying an American flag, a Trump flag and the battle flag. Ms. Robinson, a white Hillary Clinton supporter, was standing next to a black friend at the time.
“I wasn’t shocked; I was horrified,” Ms. Robinson said. She suspects that some white Trump supporters are indulging in new freedom to be politically incorrect now that the nation’s first African-American president is on the way out.
Mr. Trump declared his candidacy on June 16, 2015, the day before the Charleston massacre. He would go on to see his political stock rise at the same time as pro-flag backlash was emerging, particularly among people who felt their heritage as white Southerners was under attack. Across the country, flag supporters staged more than 350 rallies after the Charleston shooting.
During the campaign, the activist and filmmaker Rod Webber documented the sale of Confederate flags with “Trump 2016” emblazoned on them outside a Trump rally in Pittsburgh. He said that he saw the flags for sale outside about 10 other campaign rallies.
In August, inside a rally in Kissimmee, Fla., a Trump supporter named Brandon Partin draped such a flag over a railing, although a campaign staff member and the local police eventually had it removed.
Afterward, Mr. Partin told CNN that he was not a racist or a white supremacist, and he argued that the flag was about the Civil War, which he said “wasn’t about racism at all,” because blacks fought in both Northern and Southern armies.
Mr. Partin said that he thought Mr. Trump would be fine with the display of the flag. “Because he understands the history,” he said.
Since Election Day, anecdotal accounts of discrimination targeting racial and religious minorities and lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender people have overrun news reports and social media. National anti-hate organizations have begun tracking the reports, seeking to verify their veracity and identify trends. The Southern Poverty Law Center has received more than 430 reports, the majority of them for anti-immigrant behavior, followed by anti-black episodes. Many of the events have occurred on elementary, middle and high school campuses.
The Southern Poverty Law Center reports that many of the episodes, which range from offensive vandalism to physical violence, have invoked Mr. Trump and his campaign slogans. The center has also collected some reports of Trump supporters being harassed by opponents.
In an interview with “60 Minutes” that aired on Sunday, Mr. Trump turned directly to the camera and addressed those who would commit hateful acts.
“I will say right to the cameras: Stop it,” he said.
Though Mr. Trump called for the removal of the flag from the South Carolina Statehouse, the flag has ardent supporters among prominent members of the alt-right, the group of conservatives that the Anti-Defamation League has called “a loose-knit group of white nationalists and unabashed anti-Semites and racists.” Some extol the flag as a symbol of white resistance. Others describe something broader.
“Love the confederate flag! Has become the universal symbol of defiance,” Paul Ray Ramsey, a Trump supporter and popular alt-right internet personality who goes by Ramzpaul, wrote in January when he shared on Twitter a photograph of Hungarian nationalists with the flag.
Still, the flag’s new context can seem almost baffling to those Southerners who, for decades, have been making the case that it is strictly a symbol of Southern sacrifice from a war settled long ago.
“Well, we are naturally suspicious of all politicians and political parties because they have completely politicized our symbols and history,” Kevin Stone, the commander of the North Carolina division of the Sons of Confederate Veterans, wrote in an email this week.
The group’s “constant battles,” he continued, “to keep monuments, flags and other symbols of Confederate heritage intact are usually hard fought, against long odds and without any political allies.”

Imagine Owning Verb Technology Company (NASDAQ:VERB) And Retiring in a year from now

Imagine Owning Verb Technology Company (NASDAQ:VERB) And Taking A 95% Loss Square On The Chin
March 19, 2020
Some stocks are best avoided. It hits us in the gut when we see fellow investors suffer a loss. Spare a thought for those who held Verb Technology Company, Inc. (NASDAQ:VERB) for five whole years - as the share price tanked 95%. And it's not just long term holders hurting, because the stock is down 89% in the last year. More recently, the share price has dropped a further 40% in a month. But this could be related to poor market conditions -- stocks are down 29% in the same time.
While a drop like that is definitely a body blow, money isn't as important as health and happiness.
Verb Technology Company isn't currently profitable, so most analysts would look to revenue growth to get an idea of how fast the underlying business is growing. Generally speaking, companies without profits are expected to grow revenue every year, and at a good clip. That's because it's hard to be confident a company will be sustainable if revenue growth is negligible, and it never makes a profit.
We regret to report that Verb Technology Company shareholders are down 89% for the year. Unfortunately, that's worse than the broader market decline of 16%. However, it could simply be that the share price has been impacted by broader market jitters. It might be worth keeping an eye on the fundamentals, in case there's a good opportunity. Regrettably, last year's performance caps off a bad run, with the shareholders facing a total loss of 45% per year over five years. We realize that Baron Rothschild has said investors should "buy when there is blood on the streets", but we caution that investors should first be sure they are buying a high quality business.

Trump claims 75-year-old man shoved by Buffalo police could be part of 'set up'
Trump claims 75-year-old man shoved by Buffalo police could be part of 'set up'
President Trump on Tuesday shared an unfounded conspiracy theory that an incident in which an elderly man was pushed to the ground by police in Buffalo, N.Y., during a protest over the police killing of George Floyd could be a "set up."
The president cited right-wing One America News Network (OANN) in making the incendiary claim, which comes amid a national debate over police brutality.
"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," Trump tweeted, appearing to refer to a report on OANN.
"I watched, he fell harder than was pushed," the president added. "Was aiming scanner. Could be a set up?"

Let me know when you can trade BIOAQ HymanMinski.
Sooner or later you will realize what a cuspid suspension and ticker deletion really means.

Too funny the cancel fantasy is still fantasy.
Too funny, much like the the transfer of the property that was never posted here, do we think an answer from sales@dataintelo if it was bad news would ever be posted on this board? LMAO
-------------------
No “coincidence,” and I used the email “sales@dataintelo.com” to contact them. I can’t control how they address me in their reply (probably because that email is “blinded” to my identity) nor that they use the word “snippets” to describe their own report summaries they have plastered all over their site.
If it really concerns you, you can email them yourself and will get the same reply. I was not surprised the report was done in 2018, since we both know that BioAmber was liquidated and is completely out of business.
I can screenshot the email address when I’m back on my computer tomorrow afternoon (iPad today). Unlike the Twitter DD Fabrication team, I don’t make things up.
There is tons of money to be made trading bankruptcy stocks if you know how to play them. Look at a chart for BIOAQ from when they first filed chapter 11, and the year later.
This is what the Twitter DD team did to longs, they pumped the crap out of this stock with promises of buyouts, dividends, mergers, and everything else under the sun to sell their cheap stock. Now that BIOAQ has been
liquidated, they are posting whatever they find on the internet related to Bioamber to keep the lost hope alive.
Learn the game before you invest in bankrupt stocks, or you will be stuck like you are now, relying on bulls$it posts about nothing for years to come.
Hertz claimed bankruptcy weeks ago, watch the PPS over the next 2 years for
proof there is money to be made trading it.

Texas Bexar County Republican Chairwoman Cynthia Brehm
How many loons are there just like this one that don't spew their crap on Facebook or Twitter and are just silently killing this Country.
Editorial: No place for Brehm or her wild theories
Cynthia Brehm needs to step down as Bexar County Republican Party chair.
She is an embarrassment to Bexar County and her party. Her nonsensical and unfounded conspiracy theories get more bizarre with each turn, and make our community and our local GOP the laughingstock of the country.
The absurdity of her latest allegation that George Floyd’s death was a staged event to rally opposition to President Donald Trump has finally received the attention of the state’s top Republicans, who have called on her to resign.
In a Facebook post earlier this week, which has since been deleted, Brehm wrote, “I think there is at the very least the ‘possibility’ that this was a filmed public execution of a black man by a white cop, with the purpose of creating racial tensions and driving a wedge in the growing group of anti-deep state sentiment from common people, that have already been psychologically traumatized by COVID-19 fears.”
Her comments have prompted a call for her resignation from many Republican leaders, including Gov. Greg Abbott, U.S. Sen. John Cornyn, U.S. Sen. Ted Cruz, U.S. Rep. Chip Roy, who represents San Antonio, Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick and state Sen. Donna Campbell, R-New Braunfels, who represents Bexar County.
It is important Republican Party leadership has taken a stance. But it’s not like there haven’t been other opportunities to speak out against Brehm. A few weeks ago at a rally outside City Hall, she railed against social distancing rules in place and the wearing of protective face coverings, saying the coronavirus was a hoax perpetrated by the Democratic Party.
“Why is this happening today?” Brehm asked. “I’ll tell you why — all of this has been promulgated by the Democrats to undo all of the good that President Trump has done for our country, and they are worried.”
A 51-second excerpt of that City Hall commentary went viral, the subject of national ridicule with 2.3 million views and nearly 6,000 retweets.
Brehm’s tenure as local Republican Party chair has been marked by controversy. Shortly after her election in 2017, news broke that Brehm, who had touted her experience as a military wife during her campaign, was married to a man who had pleaded guilty to exposing himself to Brehm’s daughter when the child was 14 years old.
Throughout her tenure she has made unsubstantiated claims and touted conspiracy theories about vote tampering within the Bexar County Elections Department. In December, she was involved in a physical altercation at the party headquarters that resulted in a police report that described Brehm as “highly irate, irrational and angry.” At one point before the primaries earlier this year, all the local top Republicans desperately tried to reason with her after she threatened to yank the party from the joint primary.
Brehm has invoked her freedom of speech for the Facebook post and has said she won’t resign. But her freedom of speech was never abridged — this is merely the consequence of idiocy.
A call for Brehm’s resignation is simply not enough. Bexar County Republicans need to vote her out of office. She is in a July 14 runoff election for Bexar County Republican Party chairman against John Austin, a real estate appraiser.
If Brehm were to resign, she could still potentially come back on Aug. 3 if she is victorious at the polls in July. She does not merit a second term. It’s highly unusual for us to make a recommendation for a party chair — we are nonpartisan — but we would recommend a rock over Brehm. A rock, at least, cannot espouse offensive conspiracy theories. A rock would not be a national embarrassment. Bexar County needs healthy functioning political parties.
Early voting begins June 29. Don’t sit out this election.

What SEC investigation are you referring to?
----------------
I am a long, and an amateur regarding the stocks. Quite confusing sometimes.
When the SEC begins an investigation, it is public knowledge.
When they complete an investigation, do they announce it and make it public that it is complete, or could it quietly be handled and no one is the wiser except for the parties involved?
Ok, so who is selling 100's of 1000's of shares of this soon to be great stock between $1.10 and $1.20? What are they insane?
Just another insider P&D is my guess.
-------------------
How is knowledge of the buyer related in any way shape or form to knowledge of the sellers?
So, who has been selling to this "whale" for the last week?
Should be easy if you supposedly know who's buying.
------------------
Whale will continue to feed every day. Nom, nom, nom!
Paul Rand holds up bill on lynchings because because a 10 year sentence is too harsh if the person being lynched only ends up with "minor bruising".

CIA veterans who monitored crackdowns abroad see troubling parallels in Trump’s handling of protests
June 2, 2020 at 6:48 p.m. EDT
The scenes have been disturbingly familiar to CIA analysts accustomed to monitoring scenes of societal unraveling abroad — the massing of protesters, the ensuing crackdowns and the awkwardly staged displays of strength by a leader determined to project authority.
In interviews and posts on social media in recent days, current and former U.S. intelligence officials have expressed dismay at the similarity between events at home and the signs of decline or democratic regression they were trained to detect in other nations.
“I’ve seen this kind of violence,” said Gail Helt, a former CIA analyst responsible for tracking developments in China and Southeast Asia. “This is what autocrats do. This is what happens in countries before a collapse. It really does unnerve me.”
Helt, now a professor at King University in Tennessee, said the images of unrest in U.S. cities, combined with President Trump’s incendiary statements, echo clashes she covered over a dozen years at the CIA tracking developments in China, Malaysia and elsewhere.
Other former CIA and national security officials rendered similarly troubled verdicts.
Marc Polymeropoulos, who formerly ran CIA operations in Europe and Asia, was among several former agency officials who recoiled at images of Trump hoisting a Bible in front of St. John’s Episcopal Church in Washington after authorities fired rubber bullets and tear gas to clear the president’s path of protesters.
“It reminded me of what I reported on for years in the third world,” Polymeropoulos said on Twitter. Referring to the despotic leaders of Iraq, Syria and Libya, he said: “Saddam. Bashar. Qaddafi. They all did this.”
The impression Trump created was only reinforced by others in the administration. Defense Secretary Mark T. Esper urged governors to “dominate the battlespace” surrounding protesters, as if describing U.S. cities as a foreign war zone. Later, as military helicopters hovered menacingly over protesters, Gen. Mark A. Milley, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, toured the streets of the nation’s capital in his battle fatigue uniform.
“As a former CIA officer, I know this playbook,” Rep. Abigail Spanberger (D-Va.) said in a tweet. Before her election to Congress last year, she worked at the agency on issues including terrorism and nuclear proliferation.
One U.S. intelligence official even ventured into downtown Washington on Monday evening, as if taking measure of the street-level mood in a foreign country.
“Things escalated quickly,” said the official, who spoke on the condition of anonymity, citing the sensitive nature of his job. He emphasized that he went as a concerned citizen, not in any official capacity. After seeing tear gas canisters underfoot, he said, he “knew it was time to go” and departed.
Former intelligence officials said the unrest and the administration’s militaristic response are among many measures of decay they would flag if writing assessments about the United States for another country’s intelligence service.
They cited the country’s struggle to contain the novel coronavirus, the president’s attempt to pressure Ukraine for political favors, his attacks on the news media and the increasingly polarized political climate as other signs of dysfunction.
Trump supporters have defended his handling of the unrest, and his trip across Lafayette Square as a display of the strength needed to restore order in dozens of cities where protests have led to looting, fires and violence.
Former Wisconsin governor Scott Walker (R) said it was “hard to imagine” any other president “having the guts to walk out of the White House like this.”
But there were also indications that senior members of the administration were uncomfortable with the president’s outing and eager to minimize their role in it.
A senior Pentagon official said Tuesday that neither Esper nor Milley knew when they set out to accompany Trump that police were about to charge through seemingly peaceful protesters or that they would play supporting roles in a photo op.
Even away from the cameras, Trump has assiduously cultivated the aura of a strongman. Earlier Monday, he had chided governors as “weak” for failing to employ adequate force in the face of mounting protests.
“If you don’t dominate, you’re wasting your time,” Trump said. He offered no words on how to ease tensions in crowds that have massed largely in anger over the death of George Floyd, an African American man who was killed while being pinned to the ground, a knee against his neck, by police in Minneapolis.
Brett McGurk, a former top U.S. envoy to the Middle East who spent two years in the Trump administration, said the president’s words — recorded by participants and shared with news organizations — would only embolden the world’s autocrats and undermine U.S. authority.
“The imagery of a head of state in a call with other governing officials saying, ‘Dominate the streets, dominate the battlespace’ — these are iconic images that will define America for some time,” said McGurk, who led U.S. diplomatic efforts to counter the Islamic State terrorist group. “It makes it much more difficult for us to distinguish ourselves from other countries we are trying to contest” or influence, he said.
In recent years, U.S. officials have urged restraint or denounced crackdowns against protesters or vulnerable groups in Russia, Iran, Turkey, Malaysia, Syria and other countries.
Even this week, Secretary of State Mike Pompeo lectured China about its efforts to prevent citizens of Hong Kong from holding a vigil to mark the anniversary of the Tiananmen Square protests.
“If there is any doubt about Beijing’s intent, it is to deny Hong Kongers a voice and a choice,” Pompeo said in a statement that was met with derision on Twitter because it coincided with crackdowns urged by Trump in the United States.
The seeming hypocrisy in the U.S. position has not been lost on foreign targets of American pressure or criticism.
Ramzan Kadyrov, a Chechen leader who has faced U.S. sanctions for alleged human rights abuses, said Tuesday that he was “watching with horror the situation in the United States, where the authorities are maliciously violating ordinary citizens’ rights,” according to reports from Moscow.

The last thing we need is Trump removed from office before the election.
That would leave Pence as President and whoever he picks for a running mate to keep the bullshit going another 4 years.
Letting Trump lose in a landslide, as long as everyone gets their ass out and votes, would be far more satisfying.

I prefer the 25th amendment.
This is the part about "unfit" presidents:
Whenever the Vice President and a majority of either the principal officers of the executive departments or of such other body as Congress may by law provide, transmit to the President pro tempore of the Senate and the Speaker of the House of Representatives their written declaration that the President is unable to discharge the powers and duties of his office, the Vice President shall immediately assume the powers and duties of the office as Acting President.
Thereafter, when the President transmits to the President pro tempore of the Senate and the Speaker of the House of Representatives his written declaration that no inability exists, he shall resume the powers and duties of his office unless the Vice President and a majority of either the principal officers of the executive department or of such other body as Congress may by law provide, transmit within four days to the President pro tempore of the Senate and the Speaker of the House of Representatives their written declaration that the President is unable to discharge the powers and duties of his office. Thereupon Congress shall decide the issue, assembling within forty-eight hours for that purpose if not in session. If the Congress, within twenty-one days after receipt of the latter written declaration, or, if Congress is not in session, within twenty-one days after Congress is required to assemble, determines by two-thirds vote of both Houses that the President is unable to discharge the powers and duties of his office, the Vice President shall continue to discharge the same as Acting President; otherwise, the President shall resume the powers and duties of his office.
You know Trumpty wouldn't go quietly, even if Congress somehow agreed he was no longer capable. And the current Congress isn't gonna do it. Let's hope that by January we won't have to think about the possibility anymore.

AG Barr ordered officials to clear protesters for Trump’s photo op

Facebook employees reportedly staged a virtual walkout on Monday over Mark Zuckerberg's position on recent posts by Trump.
Facebook employees are not happy with CEO Mark Zuckerberg's handling of incendiary tweets by President Trump.
Dozens of employees reportedly staged a virtual walkout on Monday morning, which followed a weekend of nationwide unrest over the death of George Floyd at the hands of Minneapolis police officer Derek Chauvin. Facebook (FB) - Get Report shares rose 3.0% on Monday to $231.91.
Over the weekend, Trump, referencing the protests, used the phrase "when the looting starts, the shooting starts" -- noted by many as both a threat of violence and a phrase with a specific racist history dating to the 1960s.
While Twitter attached a content warning on that specific tweet, which said it glorifies violence, Facebook did no such thing. And Zuckerberg articulated his views in a follow-up Facebook post, writing that: "though the post had a troubling historical reference, we decided to leave it up because the National Guard references meant we read it as a warning about state action, and we think people need to know if the government is planning to deploy force,"
Over the weekend, high-ranking Facebook employees publicly expressed dismay at Facebook's response to Trump's posts.
Trump also signed an executive order targeting social media firms last week. Although legal experts doubt the validity of the order, the order threatens to upend the legal precedent that internet firms cannot be held liable for speech that appears on their platforms.
Zuckerberg appeared on Fox News the following day, reiterating his view that "it wouldn't be right for [Facebook] to do fact checks for politicians; people should be able to hear what politicians have to say.” Zuckerberg has at many points expressed his aversion to the idea that Facebook should arbitrate speech.
"That's a decision that each company makes, and then they face the music," said Ashkhen Kazaryan, director at tech policy think tank TechFreedom. "But the fact that the executive order was issued probably scared the bejesus out of them. The companies are trying to figure out how to operate in this new reality."
On Monday afternoon, Talkspace, a platform for virtual therapy, announced it was pulling out of a content partnership with Facebook over its handling of Trump's posts.
Events of the past few days are clearly not the first time Facebook has sparked controversy, specifically for its handling of speech by politicians.
At Facebook's annual investor meeting last week, shareholders decried the company's policy of not fact-checking political advertising, saying it should be eliminated altogether. Shareholders also called for more oversight on civil rights issues and for Facebook to assign an independent board chair in place of Zuckerberg, who serves both as chairman of the board and CEO.
Investors speaking at the meeting pointed to risks of regulation and ongoing controversies depressing the value of shares, referencing a weeks-long slide in the stock after Facebook disclosed heavier spending on security in 2018.
Those risks are especially heightened by the COVID-19 crisis and misinformation ahead of the upcoming Presidential election, the shareholders said.

Myself, you, your neighbour - everyone.....
Everyone from Adam onward......
Isn't it evident ?
For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God......Romans 3:23, etc.
Do you think Trump is worthy of support?

There exists only One whom I believe worthy of support.
"We know that we originate with God (wrote the apostle Paul to his fellow apostles), but the whole world is lying in the power of the wicked one".....1 John 5:19
Do you support him?
nowwhat2, do you think Trump lies more than he tells the truth?
Thanks mick for the information.
I can't imagine anyone, besides the MAGA wingnuts, going to vote in November and checking Trump's
name on a ballot after this disaster of a year.
This election should be the worst defeat for a sitting President in history, unless of course he gets tons of help from Russia, or if Biden screws up and calls his VP a slut, although that may help with the MAGA'S.
In 2016 Trump lost by 6 million votes, my guess in 2020 he loses by 30 million.

Fire, pestilence and a country at war with itself: the Trump presidency is over
I hope Reich is right. Feel the same way, but we could both be wrong. After all, we were sure he'd lose in 2016.
But Trumpty's certainly shown himself incapable of rising to any occasion at all. Even people who once supported him should realize that by now.
An officer from Norman OK. sent images of KLU KLUX KLAN members wearing hoods to 250 fellow officers, was disciplined and still on the job 4 days after it was discovered by his supervisor.
Slap the obvious racist on the hand until he kills someone, then do something. wtf

Thanks, that will be a good link to keep an eye on as long as they keep updating it.

We're Keeping A Running List Of Hoaxes And Misleading Posts About The Minneapolis Protests
https://www.buzzfeednews.com/article/janelytvynenko/hoax-misleading-claims-george-floyd-protests
No shit asshole, that's why I called you out on the post saying Fauci saying he DOUBTS corona will come back in the fall. He didn't say it.
I don't
No, that would defiantly be a first degree murder charge, depressing thinking about it.
-------------------
yeah, i hear you. but imagine if the cop was black and the victim was white? I have a feeling manslaughter would not be the charge.
I would love to see 1st degree charges, and we can all hope for that outcome, but we all know how this crap usually plays out.
Sadly, I'm left here hoping that he at least gets a manslaughter charge.
-------------------
i doubt it too, but just use your thinking cap for a minute... maybe they had some differences, as the rogue cop is notoriously racist, and so he had motive for some perceived slight, in his mind anyway, and opportunity presented itself. It could probably explain the flagrant use of excessive force. thus could arguably be premeditated if someone comes forward about their previous relationship's rockiness or any witnessed hostility directed at Floyd.
Not as wild of a theory as one might think when you are dealing with a racist shit head.
No, it's slanted reporting when you say this.
I doubt it, first degree need a prior thought or premeditation to commit the crime. Hard to prove unless some come forward that he had a problem with his fellow bouncer.
-----------------------
Could feasibly be first degree, too, depending upon other facts...
George Floyd and fired police officer Derek Chauvin knew each other because they worked security jobs at the same night club.
Both men worked at El Nuevo Rodeo on Lake Street before their last encounter, which left Floyd dead and a city in turmoil. Chauvin has been identified as the officer who held down Floyd by kneeling on his neck.
“They were both bouncers at that restaurant,” Minneapolis City Council Vice President Andrea Jenkins said.
“So, Officer Chauvin, he knew George. They were co-workers for a really long time.”
Without social media I would have never known about the Karen in Central park, or the idiot woman complaining about a black family BBQ'ing with charcoal in a park, and many more. All 911 calls btw.
Can't blame it all on Trump, but he has changed this Country in a bad way that will be hard to change back.
Please pass this on so everyone you know is registered to vote in November.

Agreed, but I'm almost surprised they went this far. Social media is doing a good job of pressuring. It was stupid of them not to arrest and charge him immediately. There was zero ambiguity that he committed murder.
Great, but it should be closer to 2nd degree since that tactic he used was banned.
