June 1 was the Bible walk stunt after a weekend of Bunker Boy jokes.

Today is after Tulsa and that horrendous image of him walking off Marine One.

I understand about defending the Andrew Jackson statue right outside where you live. I get that. But this just looks like the acts of a madman but hey....what does he have to lose?

WOW. Trump campaign has spent $16M on lawsuits

Reelect President Trump or he’ll sue you!

Since 2015, Trump, his business or the Republican Party have sued or threatened to sue MSNBC, NBC, the Associated Press, the Daily Beast, Univision, an anti-Trump T-shirt maker, authors Michael Wolff and David Cay Johnston, Texas Sen. Ted Cruz (R), former Ohio governor John Kasich (R), a Jeb Bush supporter, a super PAC, the Republican Party, sanctuary cities, former aide Steve Bannon, former Senate Democratic leader Harry Reid, the U.S. Golf Association, a 92-year-old widow in Scotland, the women who alleged he sexually assaulted them, the co-author of his own memoir, the Club for Growth, the Culinary Workers Union, the National Hispanic Media Coalition, the organizer of a “Dump Trump” campaign, the city of Minneapolis, and an artist who painted a nude of him.

Before that, he sued or threatened to sue the Los Angeles Times, USA Today, a Chicago Tribune architecture critic, Bill Maher, the now-deceased rapper Mac Miller, the Village Voice, ABC and the BBC, a random Twitter user, a woman critical of Trump University, a critic of his golf courses, a Miss USA contestant, Rosie O’Donnell, the Obama Justice Department, and the Onion.

As campaign-finance watchdog Open Secrets reports, Trump’s campaign has spent more than $16 million on legal services, “using costly litigation in an attempt to crack down on negative news coverage and attack ads aired by his political rivals.”

English Premier League soccer - "Black Lives Matter" on jerseys

Sorry couldn’t get a good pic.

Liverpool v. Everton 0-0

Both teams had Black Lives Matter on the back of their jerseys where their last names usually are.
Got me a little teared up.

Liverpool can clinch the EPL title for the first time in 30 years with one more win.
You’ll never walk alone.

HAPPY SUMMER! 🌏☀️

Quarantine has changed us -- and it's not all bad

Here are 8 new habits people want to keep post-lockdown.

I asked Vox readers to tell me which specific changes they want to maintain as they emerge from quarantine and stumble their way to a new normal. More than 100 people responded across the globe, from the United States to the United Arab Emirates and from Portugal to Pakistan. Some broad trends leaped out in the responses. Below are the eight most common.

1) Reducing consumerism

2) Slowing down and putting less pressure on ourselves

3) Prioritizing family and friends

4) Ethical action and activism in our highly interconnected world

5) Exercising daily

6) Baking, vegetarian cooking, and growing herbs

7) Spending more time in nature

8) Working from home, if possible

Richmond VA - Lee Monument-pickup trucks, guns, confrontation and 1 arrest

RPD: Four guns seized, multiple people detained and one arrested after confrontation at Lee statue early Friday

Richmond police detained several people equipped with assault-style rifles, handguns, ammunition and body armor early Friday morning after a confrontation at the Robert E. Lee monument, a department spokeswoman said.
One person was arrested.

Around 12:55 a.m. Friday, officers in the area of the Robert E. Lee circle saw several pickup trucks approach a group who had dismounted their bicycles in the traffic lanes, said police spokeswoman Amy Vu in an email.

Officers pursued the trucks making three traffic stops: in the 2700 block of Hanover Avenue, about a mile from the monument; on the Huguenot Bridge, about 6 miles away; and in the 6500 block of Three Chopt Road, a little over 5 miles from the confrontation.

Three assault-style rifles and one handgun were seized. One person was arrested and charged with possession of a firearm by a convicted felon.

School choice - a remedy for bad cops

Watching Fox News this morning.

Apparently it’s part of Trumps plan to fix the cops situation. Repeated by David Webb who must be some sort of radio mouthpiece
