The Presidency of Donald J. Trump: retweets WHITE POWER, condemns Black Lives Matter, regrets criminal justice reform

What has emerged is an experiment in life without the police — part street festival, part commune. Hundreds have gathered to hear speeches, poetry and music. On Tuesday night, dozens of people sat in the middle of an intersection to watch “13th,” the Ava DuVernay film about the criminal justice system’s impact on African-Americans. On Wednesday, children made chalk drawings in the middle of the street.

One block had a designated smoking area. Another had a medic station. At the “No Cop Co-op,” people could pick up a free LaCroix sparkling water or a snack. No currency was accepted, but across the street, in a nod to capitalism, a bustling stand was selling $6 hot dogs. It was dealing in U.S. dollars.

On Wednesday night, President Trump tried to portray the scenes in the city as something more sinister. He called for government leaders to crack down on the protesters, declaring on Twitter that “Domestic Terrorists have taken over Seattle.”

“Take back your city NOW,” Mr. Trump wrote in a tweet directed at Mayor Jenny Durkan and Gov. Jay Inslee. “If you don’t do it, I will. This is not a game.”

And that worked out just fine.

I’m as anti-patriotism as the next guy, but the Americans and the British were the heroes of WWII. The Russians lost 15% of their population and that wasn’t winning. The US also supplied arms to the Russians. And everyone in Europe praying that they could be liberated by the US or UK and not “liberated” by the Russians was a very real thing. Obviously the Germans win in Europe if any of Russia, UK or USA aren’t there - so all are responsible - but USA#1 is a thing because we were that once.

And, oh yeah, the Russians fought with the Nazis for 2 years. If they wouldn’t have done that perhaps it would have been easier for Britain to actually do something about the invasion of Poland.

3 weeks is more accurate.

Splitting hairs. The Russians and Germans separately invaded Poland over the course of a few weeks, but then occupied it together for almost two years. The Russians were definitely an obstacle for the Allies until June 1941.

Don’t?

As soon as I see it’s an endorsement I scroll.

Yeah this. Russia winning means Stalin had more Russians than Hitler had bullets. That’s not winning.

Refusing to answer a question because the info is confidential is not going to result in perjury or obstruction charges. It’s just contempt of the subpoena.
