Source: Reuters

In the past dozen years, state and local judges have repeatedly escaped public accountability for misdeeds that have victimized thousands. Nine of 10 kept their jobs, a Reuters investigation found – including an Alabama judge who unlawfully jailed hundreds of poor people, many of them Black, over traffic fines.

Goes hand in hand with the protests. The corrupt judges and judicial system should be right up there with law enforcement with defund/dismantle reform/remake.

The flying public is more concerned now than during the height of the lockdown. Extremely bad news for airlines and also states that rely on tourism as a hefty part of their growth. Unemployment numbers will be ugly for a long time.

Michael Moore: Never Take Trump For Granted, "White Men Feel Their Grip On Power Is Quickly Fading"

Source: RealClearPolitics

Michael Moore warned Democrats not to take President Donald Trump for granted because the white men who support him feel their grip on power fading. Moore said white male Trump supporters are just as mad at the Minneapolis cop responsible for the death of George Floyd as the rest of the country, except that they are angry about the effect it will have on control of power in the future. In an interview with MSNBC's Joy Reid on Friday, Moore said white men believe the death of George Floyd "messed it up for the white male" to hold onto power.

That's what it's always been about. From the civil war to reconstruction to civil rights to dylan roof to the chauvin cop. The fear of minority rule with Jews and Blacks at the head. I can understand the fear but does not make it right.

Pressure. Now they know what it feels like to be on the other end. Clean up your house! no one expects cops to be perfect they are human beings. But the bad cops are really rotting all cops. Hospitals do not put up with a few bad surgeons or people die. Same with the police. Weed out the bad apples...all of them. Don't tolerate any. Surgeons have life and death in their hands. So do cops. If surgeons can't get away with being a bad surgeon then neither should a cop!

Sasse Slams Clearing of Protesters for Trump's Church Photo Opportunity

Source: National Review

Sasse said. “Every public servant in America should be lowering the temperature and that means saying two basic truths over and over: (1) police injustice — like the evil murder of George Floyd — is repugnant and merits peaceful protest aimed at change; (2) riots are abhorrent acts of violence that hurt the innocent.

Trump keeps pushing Republicans. Testing them and their support. Nebraska is as Red State as it gets. That collapsing creaking sound on Trump's base is getting louder by the day.
