I didn’t realize Bill Barr preferred black jeans and white tennis shoes when he raped and beat Lady Justice as head of, you know, the Justice Department with his obstruction, lying and trying to let off even people who admitted their guilt. Thanks for the fashion update.
Heading into GOP convention, Trump goes all-in on ugly white grievance politics
Trump is betting his future on a simple belief: White people are still deeply racist.
Will America prove him wrong?

Not that this should come as a surprise, but with the Republican National Convention less than a week away, Donald Trump is sending every possible signal that whatever its official themes may be the GOP gathering’s true subject will be white grievance politics. Unlike in the past, where concerns about not appearing overtly racist have forced Republicans to resort to dog whistles and coded language, Trump seems to believe to that his best bet is to serve the racism straight up, thereby vanquishing any remaining doubts about whether our president is actually a white supremacist.
Late Tuesday night, Trump praised Laura Loomer, who won the Republican primary in Florida’s 21st congressional district, which is Trump’s official place of residence. To call Loomer a “far right” or “fringe” candidate is understating the case. She’s an obsessive bigot with a long history of unvarnished hatred of Muslims — or anyone she just suspects may be a Muslim — calling them “savages” and labeling herself a #ProudIslamophobe. Her rhetoric is openly genocidal, such as when she declared that “we should never let another Muslim into the civilized world” and urged taxi and ride-share companies not to hire Muslim drivers. (It may be reassuring to know that she almost certainly won’t win in November. The district is solidly Democratic, and Republicans didn’t even bother to run a candidate against incumbent Rep. Lois Frankel in 2018.)
I’ve actually heard people defend the Portland punk, Marquise Love (no irony, there/s), who kicked that guy in the head, basically from behind. People will politicize anything but even this? Sad.
I knew the majority of you posters wouldn’t get this one because they still haven’t shown it on CNNLOL or MSDNC. The next one they won’t show you is the ex police chief getting beaten on the street by a thug in New York City. Punched 12 times and kicked in the head. The reason you won’t see them is they don’t sit well with the Liberal narrative (only blacks are beaten / killed by whites). Have you seen anything yet on the 5 y.o. killed in cold blood yet? I rest my case.
The fact is that there are bad people on both sides. Peaceful demonstrators can not only be legitimately mistaken for those who are damaging private property or attacking someone, they can suddenly become those people. I’m politically slightly left of Bernie, but there is truth on both sides. I doubt, however, that Trump’s assertion that “there are good people on both sides” is accurate.

Hmmmm, Stone, Manafort, Cohen, Flynn – all convicted; Trump – plea deal; Bannon – indicted. It would appear that Lady Justice is reviving….
