This FRIDAY THE JUNETEENTH open thread is OPEN – VERY OPEN – as in LET’S OPEN UP ALREADY – but don’t open up on a looter unless the LAW is on your side – a place for everybody to post whatever they feel they would like to tell the White Hats, and the rest of the MAGA / KAG! / KMAG world (KMAG being a bit of both MAGA and KAG!).
You can say what you want, comment on what other people said, and so on.
Free Speech is practiced here. ENJOY IT. Use it or lose it.
Keep it SOMEWHAT civil. They tried to FORCE fake Orwellian civility on us. In response, we CHOOSE true civility to defend our precious FREEDOM from THEM.
Our rules began with the civility of the Old Treehouse, later to become the Wolverinian Empire, and one might say that we have RESTORED THE OLD REPUBLIC – the early high-interaction model of the Treehouse – except of course that Q discussion is not only allowed but encouraged, and speech is considerably freer in other ways. Please feel free to argue and disagree with the board owner, as nicely as possible.
Please also consider the Important Guidelines, outlined here in the OLD January 1st , 2019 open thread. Let’s not give the odious Internet Censors a reason to shut down this precious haven.
SPEAK THE FIVE WORDS BOLDLY TO OUR PRESIDENT!
“I AM PRAYING FOR YOU!“
AND WHAT TIME IS IT?
TIME TO….
DRAIN THE SWAMP
Our movement
Is about replacing
A failed
And CORRUPT
Political establishment
With a new government controlled
By you, the American People.
Candidate Donald J. Trump
Also remember Wheatie’s Rules:
- No food fights.

Seriously – FRANCE just banned use of HCQ for treating COVID-19.

Looks like there is going to be a SCIENCE and MEDICINE FIGHT in the middle of RIOTS and DECLAS.

“Now things get really interesting. Are these guys carrying live ammo?”
_____________
It would be stupid to be carrying fake ammo.
Why would they carry fake ammo into a potential fight, unless the objective was to show the military getting wiped out by a bunch of street thugs?
That’s the kind of thing only a traitorcrat would do.
might be wrong but I believe in Ferguson they were not carrying live ammo
Different prez…
Wouldn’t surprise me, that’s exactly the kind of thing the usurper Hussein and his lackeys would do.
Trump would not do that 😁
POTUS getting results??

The mayor is working with the rioters.
None of this happens by accident, none of it is organic or naturally occurring, all of it is orchestrated.
It’s an insurgency.
The Left is using the tactics learned in the middle east and other islamic crapholes.
Not to mention the number of Somalis actually living in Minnesota. Apparently 74,000 as of 2016.
That’s a good sized army.
It was enough to get Wuhan Omar elected.
This is also supposedly Omar’s District. How bout that?🤔
And, evidently he 17 year old daughter is tight in the fray with a bull horn.
I agree. The Ohio protest is PHONY and a replay of the El Paso-Dayton strategy to SCARE Ohio.
Good GRIEF, these Democrats are scum.
“Democrats are scum”
Actually, they are far worse than that.
“The Ohio protest is PHONY and a replay of the El Paso-Dayton strategy to SCARE Ohio.”
____________
Scare Ohio into what, voting for Trump in record numbers?
Because that’s the effect this giant crock of Soros is going to have, everywhere 😁
A 5 year old was kidnapped at midnight thei time as the mother was attempting toleave an area. Kid was inside vehicle. I have not found an update.
Time for a new catch phase, before aniti-fa comes up with the next ‘hands up, don’t shoot’…
If you’re gonna loot, we gotta shoot! 😁
The beauty of it is that it’s conditional, which puts the onus on the looter, not on the National Guard.
From a messaging standpoint, the National Guard has no choice but to shoot, if you’re gonna loot 👍
Or the old classic, considering the thugs’ gangsta’ attire,
Pants Up, Don’t Loot!

Some explain this to me.
Derek Chauvin
Nicolas Chauvin
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nicolas_Chauvin
Nicolas Chauvin (French: [ʃɔvɛ̃]) is a legendary, possibly apocryphal French soldier and patriot who is supposed to have served in the First Army of the French Republic and subsequently in La Grande Armée of Napoleon. His name is the eponym of chauvinism, originally a term for excessive nationalistic fervor, but later used to refer to any form of bigotry or bias (e.g., male chauvinism).
Basically, just some dead white European.
Someone explain this to me
https://twitter.com/mhtx76/status/1266240734895566851
Sounds like a CIA fake name like Josh Earnest.
Why can’t they use more believable names like “Reality Winner”?
I’m thinking this may have been a blood hoax – a.k.a. “false flag”.
Well, I’m going to take a cautious tact and wait to see if more evidence comes out before I commit to saying it’s not.
Some of the evidence has likely burned down at that Precinct Police fire. Like records of permission to take overtime jobs and snitch files and anything that investigators are asking for… “Oh, yeah..that was likely there too”.
Just heard some moron dr or professor on cnn, basically – of course this is not the right thing but there’s a lot of justified outrage at injustices you know.

“Buy guns and ammunition.
Are you listening?”
_____________
Yeah, but after you already have at least two of every kind, you’re kinda just buying them because it has become a habit at that point, and/or to keep them out of the hands of the bad guys… 😁
I suppose only 2 of every kind might seem like plenty, to some. 😆 Check out these guys. 👇
I highly approve.
Brings to mind the Korean shopowners in LA, though I hope they never have to pull their triggers.
Yeah let’s hope not but they definitely have a right to protect themselves and property. We all need to be ready too I’d say and hope we never have to shoot either. Still, MOAR ammo!
Too much ammo? Only if you’re drowning or on fire.
To be clear to any leftist lurkers, “I hope they don’t have to shoot” is different from “I hope they don’t shoot even if they have to.” I do NOT mean the latter.
Two is one, and one is none. 😁
Well give me a little credit, I said two of every kind… that’s at least a thousand… times two!
Someone could supply their own well-regulated militia with that amount 😁
😁😄👍👍👍
Serial number, that when divided by 1000, has no remainder…..check, got two of those.

There is a HUGE difference between protesting injustice and tyranny, and rioting. These are no longer protests
Nope, and they’re happening in too many places. Obvious It’s being coordinated/paid for. And Dems just hanging back and letting them inflict maximum damage is total Bullshit. All will be blamed on POTUS.
Yup. Corona communism didn’t work. They’re onto the next step.
These people will start a civil war before Hillary Clinton serves a day in jail.
It’s going to be a HOT AUGUST.
I don’t know if anybody noticed this yet or not, but they’re not protesting.
That’s just regular old breaking and entering.
Those are just criminals, not protesters.
It’s a good thing they were let out of prison. Instead of going about their normal enterprise they could be in jail with Corona.

My very next gun will cost thousands of dollars.
Because the damn safe is full.
We have more than what we need but luckily I still see a lot of affordable options out there that I want. 😁
I read something somewhere that contained some interesting stats on gun ownership. I have no idea how these people can possibly know their data is any good given how cagey a lot of people are about their firearms, but here it is:
The top three percent of people who own guns tend to own a LOT of them (>25). If you look at the other 97% of people who own guns, the average is three guns.
Now, if anyone feels challenged by this and needs to get a couple of more guns to go over the magic “25” number, I am not going to complain, and neither is the nearest gun shop.
I can dig it! I’m sure there more guns out there than anyone knows. The government is still afraid to find out so far at least.
I’ve come to believe that the word “regulated” in the Second Amendment was intended to convey a meaning closer to “outfitted”, as in “stocked with necessary items in good order.” If you change that one word, the entire 2A reads more easily and it makes sense to have that clause there. Instead, the regulatory state has consistently tried to force the meaning of “obeys regulations” into the word.
It is also to be noted that British professional soldiers at the time were known as “Regulars”.
I have always read it like that, to mean that supplies and munitions were regulated — stocked, as you say; in good order — not that people were regulated.
A well regulated militia, being necessary to the security of a free state, the right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed.
When you read it like that it makes perfect sense. The people are to be armed well and in good order so they can be part of the militia to secure the free state.
I’ve always read it as “organized” or “smoothly run”… to function well together
I believe that’s what I’ve seen as well.
One implication being, perhaps some standardization of equipment. Which back then would simply have meant all the muskets are the same caliber so there’s no problem with the balls being the wrong size for someone’s weapon. (This is over and above “well-maintained.”)
Today of course with our more advanced weaponry it means a good stock of parts, all the same model so the parts work for everyone, AND all accepting the same, standard magazines.
Regulate:
transitive verb To control or direct according to rule, principle, or law.
transitive verb To adjust to a particular specification or requirement.
transitive verb To adjust (a mechanism) for accurate and proper functioning.
Same Latin root as Regular
Middle English, from Late Latin regulatus, past participle of regulare, from Latin regula rule
adj. Customary, usual, or normal.
adj. Orderly, even, or symmetrical.
adj. In conformity with a fixed procedure, principle, or discipline.
Here is a link to the Webster’s 1828 dictionary, with regulated defined.
http://webstersdictionary1828.com/Dictionary/regulated
Very good, did not realize that was online.
Some of those definitions actually look like they are precursors to the modern one. (Of course that’s 40 years after the BOR was drafted.)
It’s interesting to see the progression of language change. It surprises many people to hear that the word “silly” meant something akin to “sacred” in the Middle Ages, and has gone through a lot of semantic shift.
You just completely made that part clear for me. Thats plain common sense. I dont know why ive mot heard it like that.
Those aren’t protestors. Those are paid provocateurs. There’s a BIG difference
Oh, we have the Soros-Pelosi left now. They staged this. One look at Columbus and I can see that this is PHONY AS HELL.

Unfortunately, you can’t revoke the citizenship of someone who was born a citizen…which is probably true for most of these dirtbags.
Still, the rest can be kicked out and if their home countries won’t take them, Antarctica has no customs controls…

Did our president say that he will shoot looters?
Dang, he’s serious.
“Did our president say that he will shoot looters? ”
_____________
If you’re gonna loot, we gotta shoot! 👍😁
Be careful, though – it is clear that they want another orchestrated KENT STATE.
These protesters in Ohio are DUPES, DOPES, DOPERS and DWEEBS. They’re antifa wannabes. Don’t shoot ’em – that’s what Pelosi and Ginther want.
If I remember correctly, Gail was at Kent State and said it was nothing like it was portrayed by fake news media.
They won’t get away with it now, far too many people are awake and everyone is watching.
But I wasn’t referring to any specific spontaneously planned riots in Ohio or elsewhere, just taking DJT’s threat and turning it into a useful slogan 👍
And I think the large majority of Americans are sick to death of the tantrum-class looting and burning… if Trump took justifiable strong measures to shut this stupidity down cold, his favorability numbers would go so high that he would win all 50 states plus the 7 imaginary ones Hussein talked about.
There is ZERO ‘sympathy’ OR ‘sympathizers’ for the manufactured riots of the treasonous Soros brigades.
Actually it was a friend who was at Kent State.
REMEMBER we are now in a State of EMERGENCY. That give President Trump BROAD POWERS.
He has issued the warning, Cut this crap out or I WILL DO IT FOR YOU!

“Section 332 appears to be a reflection of the President’s constitutional duty under Article II.
Section 333, the primary portion of the Act amended in October 2006, permits the President, without a request from a State:”
This is a LONG thread but it goes into the Constitution and the laws that President Trump can use to roll this crap up.
Thank you Gail!
… oh … I was going to say something that is nice, … 😞🤚 …. nuts .. 😣🤚 ..
… “isn’t” nice … 🤭🤫
The Ohio protests are a MEDIA HOAX. Do not fall for it.
A think Hong Kong.Chinise and dems are at work. Fallow the money.
I took PDJT tweets to mean when the looting starts that’s when the rioters start shooting also.
No problem here, shooting arsonists and looters. Defending lives and property.
Hoping they arrest a lot of illegals, including Somali’s and deport them expeditiously.
State of Emergency 🙂
Toss in some assholes with Green Cards…revoke Green Cards and deport.
I can’t believe France has banned HCQ for WuFlu. That will be a literal death sentence for some people.
Between that and shoving diseased individuals into nursing homes, you’d almost get the impression of there being a Globalist death cult. Maybe Jim Jones was just early…..
Um, YES, he was.
“I can’t believe France has banned HCQ for WuFlu. That will be a literal death sentence for some people.”
_______________
It would be a perfect time to leak medical information proving Macron and the entire criminal political-class has been taking HCQ since January, and has been hoarding it for themselves ever since, while outlawing it for the French People.
That would be game over… and it sure would be fun to watch!
In fact, if we’re all 4GW now, those medical records might materialize out of anywhere, and Macron would be pulling a Mussolini before the veracity of the documents could even be checked.
Two can play this game.
Up until now, only one ever does.
If our side ever actually played, we would win so fast we’d wonder what just happened.
A Mussolini?
If you’re thinking Macron might decide to commit suicide…well, Mussolini didn’t. He tried to flee, was captured and shot, along with many of his top men.
So I would think, perhaps, that perhaps he might have a Mussolini done TO him.
[The rest of the story: The corpses were dumped in Milan’s Piazzale Loreto (one of the more important town squares); after being kicked and spat upon by the crowd, they were hung upside down from the roof of a gas station. 29 April 1945. Hitler wouldn’t last much longer–he shot himself the next day.]
“A Mussolini?
If you’re thinking Macron might decide to commit suicide…well, Mussolini didn’t. He tried to flee, was captured and shot, along with many of his top men.”

No, I was very much thinking of an old black and white photo, showing Mr. Mussolini strung upside down by what I think was piano wire.
I’ve just been trying to be less direct in my acknowledgment of certain things so as to hopefully avoid causing any trouble for the website 👍
Yeah…that’s the one. That was done TO him. After a lot of prior indignities. He was killed on the 28th, Hitler killed himself two days later. Good riddance to bad trash.
Delicious!
Yes. I think the honest docs need to burn these MURDERERS with a little medical truth.
Undercover cop debunked
I back the blue but I don’t have much confidence in their investigation into it.

I would back the blue if they backed We the People, but it seems like the ‘blue’ only backs the criminal political-class.
They should stop doing that.
Is that the same police department that gave up their heavily armed police station without a fight, to the Soros goon squad?
Their credibility account is running a major deficit…
Only saw it air briefly but the man who initiated the take down of the protective temporary fence around the 3rd precinct police station last night was a tall ponytailed white guy. Dressed in black from head to toe, he had all the earmarks of antifa. This is the station that was eventually evacuated then burned down.
And the taxpayers of other states will be expected to pay to rebuild it.
Fuck that noise.
One bullet in that asshole taking down the fence and the terrorists would have fled the scene.
And a professional police / S.W.A.T. sniper could have easily have shot him in the leg or the ass, which would have accomplished the same thing without killing him.
Bean bags, rubber bullets…
Evidence needed to be destroyed, so it makes sense to have the heavily armed police station burned to the ground.
Might get rough for a while but it sounds like POTUS is determined there will be law and order. Watching cnn and MSNBC reminded me how gaslit ppl can get. Governors who can’t keep their states in control probably won’t look good either. One job of government, protect the people.
All i can hear is Ozero’s voice saying this.

We buit this country. Who is “we”? The early colonists? The Founding Fathers? Europeans of many different nationalities? Slaves? Immigrants? They all played a part. So no, you don’t “own” the building of this country. If you loved and respected her, you would not want to tear her down. So get out!. 😡
“we built this country and we will burn it down.”
____________
Obama said he didn’t build that.
Just sayin’… 😁
1st thing I thought too.
He said “you didn’t build that” the implication being that “society” did.
And since he had set himself up to be the arbiter of what “society” wanted…Obama was actually saying he did build that, or at the very least had authority to speak for those who had.
And since Leftists like to claim our country is only rich because everything was built on the backs of slaves…
In my best Susie Rice lingo: Obama didn’t build nothin’ for nobody. 😁
Indeed.
He sure managed to destroy a lot for everybody.

Don’t know if that’s before or after POTUS’ tweet. But before it guard was just hanging out and tweeting. People were giving them grief for not doing anything but tweeting while the city was burning. I still wanna know who gave the stand down order. Mayor? Ellison? Governor?
Just saying, this is a small deployment controlled by the Governor to protect fire assets only.

The lack of discipline, the lack of professionalism, the lack of honor, the lack of duty, the lack of leadership…
Now multiply that by five… SO FAR.
The ROT in the MN police forces must be all the way to the core.

“Phoenix has erupted into a violent mob of rioters near the Capitol…”

When all of the riots are so obviously staged and coordinated, ‘erupting’ comes across as hilarious hyperbole.
On the other hand, just imagine the crimes that can be tacked on to Hussein and Clinton’s rap sheets for this latest stunt.
Sedition, rebellion, armed insurrection, treason, attempted violent overthrow of the United States…
I wonder how many times they can be put to death, and resuscitated, and put to death again, and again?

I don’t think the Tet Offensive ended well for the Vietcong.
Not that anyone would have known that from Cronkite’s and the other globalists’ fake news portrayal at the time, IIRC.
They must be desperate. I wonder what they are doing while they have us all looking at the looting and fires.
Believing their own BS and high-fiving each other like NPC idiots, I’m sure 😂
I agree, the shady bastards always use “civil” unrest (oxymoron) to due shady shit .. 💩🤚 …
(.. sorry for the potty, snicker … word … )
Indeed, Minnesota is one of the largest settling areas for immigrant Somalis. I’m sure that’s just a coincidence.
The mass rioting reveals that even the Leftists don’t take the WuFlu threat seriously. That won’t stop the media and Democrats from pretending that there’s some super scary virus out there even though the only people buying that narrative at this point are the Karens in their safe suburban neighborhoods.
Gosh, I hope Karen is OK right now . . .
Karen’s currently on Facebook virtue signalling her support for the poor oppressed protesters from the safety of her McMansion.

IMO, there’s one underlying component to this mass rioting, and it’s directly related to the 2 1/2 month shutdown/shut in that’s been tyrannically applied across the country.
There’s a psychological reaction that happens when people are bombarded into a state of fear and panic – it happens alongside of the actual physical changes in their lives – job loss, family stress, isolation, etc.
Some, not all, but certainly some of this is related to a subconscious reaction to the oppressive government state which descended on our lives mid-March, 2020. The pent up mental angst had to go somewhere…
The pent up mental angst had to go somewhere…
The Dem governors all know this. They’re suppressing and goading the people, priming them for trouble.
I’ve been shocked at the inertia of the #Dems in Minnesota on this.
Dems=traitors … 😎👍❤️
A sort of Poor Man’s MK Ultra.
“The pent up mental angst had to go somewhere…”
____________
Soros and his anti-fa terrorists probably had a good idea about where it had to go…
Yes, my point exactly. Basically the riots, the stirred up racism in an election year, are simply a little earlier this year. Even if the thugs weren’t compliant w/ the tyranny of their governors, they still had to be caught in the ripple effect.
I and all patriots know where this has to go …. 🙂🤚🇺🇸‼️
“There’s a psychological reaction that happens when people are bombarded into a state of fear and panic – it happens alongside of the actual physical changes in their lives – job loss, family stress, isolation, etc.”
And bankrolled by a George Soros derivative.
I hate to disagree, LP, but we’ve seen Americans react in much less public ways to this. Suicide is up, as is domestic abuse. Going out and joining a riot really isn’t our style.
Sorry, but this is just as fake as Ferguson was.
One of the most memorable classes I ever had in college was given by a TA. IIRC, it was Econ101 — certainly an upper division general Econ class. We had the big lecture in the giant hall where the Professor could orate to his heart’s content, but now we were going to have multiple one-hour follow-on lessons.
At the first class, there was some administrative paperwork, and the TA kicked it off with a question: “what is Economics?” There was the usual undergrad flailing about until someone came up with, “Economics is a Social Science” — which got a quick “good” from the TA. followed quickly with, “what is a Social Science?”
This (as fully intended) engendered more — and more chaotic — flailing that he let continue for some time.
Then he laid down a truth bomb. “A Social Science is an academic study that says, ‘human behavior can be explained by X’ — and the different values of X mark the boundaries of the different disciplines. History says that X is ‘what people have done before.’ Freudian psychiatry says that X is ‘the interplay of id, libido, and ego’. Sociology says X is ‘mob behavior’. Political Science says it’s ‘the political framework and its machinations’. Anthropology says X is ‘culture’. Linguistics says that X is ‘the thought-units that can be expressed in a language’.”
Coming from such a strong exposition, he continued, “…..and Economics is the strongest and most powerful of all the social sciences, both for its predictive abilities and real-world interactions…..because it begins with, ‘human behavior can be explained by GREED’.” [Mind you, this was no slur — it was well-understood in this department that “greed” was a simple desire to better one’s circumstances.]
Just a random memory….
LOL interesting.
Not a bad recollection, though it does have the typical academic jingoism 😉
Twitter has now censored Pres Trump’s tweet…the second one, that has:
“…when the looting starts, the shooting starts.”
Twitter claims that this ‘glorifies violence’.
😕🙄
In Pres Trump’s twitter feed…you cannot see that second tweet, it is blocked out by the Twitter Notice.
.
Text of Twitter Notice:
This Tweet violated the Twitter Rules about glorifying violence. However, Twitter has determined that it may be in the public’s interest for the Tweet to remain accessible. Learn more
Text of Pres Trump’s tweet:
I can’t stand back & watch this happen to a great American City, Minneapolis. A total lack of leadership. Either the very weak Radical Left Mayor, Jacob Frey, get his act together and bring the City under control, or I will send in the National Guard & get the job done right…..
….These THUGS are dishonoring the memory of George Floyd, and I won’t let that happen. Just spoke to Governor Tim Walz and told him that the Military is with him all the way. Any difficulty and we will assume control but, when the looting starts, the shooting starts. Thank you!
…………….End text.
This is stupid.
Twitter is poking the bear…and I hope the bear clobbers them!
Since it didn’t show up in there in that tweet that I posted…
This is what the notice looks like:
Hmm…it didn’t show up in this either.
🤔
The second tweet was taken down – either by twitter or the President.
Twitter is wrong – the only people ‘glorifying violence’ (and burning and looting) are Antifa, BLM, and other assorted Soros-paid thugs.
It looks like it’s been taken down…because the Twit Notice blocks it out.
If you click on it, though, the POTUS tweet shows.
Or at least, it shows to me.
Did you try clicking on it?
It finally showed up. Interesting that Twitter ignores the violence, looting and vandalism of the (paid Soros) thugs.
Let’s see if the Twit Notice in this Carpe Donktum tweet shows up:
.
Text of Carpe Donktum:
He is the President of the United States and authorized by the Constitution to defend this country from threats both foreign and domestic.
You are a fucking tech company.
Text of Twitter Notice:
This Tweet violates our policies regarding the glorification of violence based on the historical context of the last line, its connection to violence, and the risk it could inspire similar actions today. https://help.twitter.com/en/rules-and-policies/glorification-of-violence…

This is how it appears in PDJT’s twitter feed, after you click on the notice:
And Twitter is also blocking out the number of ‘Likes’ and number of retweets.
The ‘Likes’ should be well over 100K…but they aren’t showing.
😠🤬
This is what it looks like before you click on the Twit Notice:

How idiotic!! Am I the only one who reads that as a WARNING?? When people start looting, they get shot, as in the example of the the Pawn Shop owner who shot the looter on Wednesday night?? What TF is wrong with people??? The President of the United States of America is NOT threatening to shoot people!!!! How STOOPID are these people??? nevermind, don’t answer that
Jackboot better back off POTUS, pain is coming🤬
If twitter censors the word “shooting” they will be censoring the word military. It’s not a far stretch. Both are about weapons and shooting.
I didn’t see anything wrong with his tweet. Thugs and rioters need to know we’re not sitting back while they burn and loot our cities!
Carlos/Thomas says the burning is a professional arsonist job.

So……dims are attempting the Algerian Strategy.
Do I have that right?
Sure looks like it.
Seems kind of third world, doesn’t it? If it were our VSGPOTUSDJT, half of it would be gilded and all polished up. Nice. World-class. The best. Instead, it positively drips of Dim slime.
Well, that’s freakin’ helpful…..
There are some news reports that say “protesters” overran the precinct office where the cop that supposedly killed George Floyd worked, and set a fire to burn it. That will surely make it easier to check his records and examine evidence in order to prosecute him. /s
Think of all the ‘evidence lockers’ in all of those precinct HQ’s that have been burned…
That’s where the evidence for pending cases is stored…right?
So now, hundreds of cases just went up in smoke?
This alone could be a big reason for torching those buildings.
Anons should start digging into what crimes were recently committed in that district before the shooting.
Weren’t there more Precinct HQ’s that were torched?
I saw a blurb that mentioned 5 were burning.
Don’t know if that was 5 in addition to the first one…which is where the four police officers were from.
Someone could’ve burned the other ones as ‘cover’ for the first one.
To make that one seem more random.
This is a community organizer Psy-Op.
Remember all the harassment during the 2018 election, this is just another organized distraction. Look for this race crap to continue through the long hot summer into the fall.
The Democraps do not have a decent candidate, policies, platform.
They have resorted to harassment during the 2018 election.
And they are having resort to a virus pandemic and race violence during the 2020 election.
All to distract from their ruinous fiscal and social policies, the murder of the elderly in the nursing homes, their utter incompetence and from Øbastard’s illegal and unconstitutional spying and his politicization and weaponization of every agency of government….the collusion with foreign governments – TREASON and Sedition.
People are weighing in on Twitter’s jack-booted censoring of our President.

Twitter, Inc. has now commandeered and censored the transmission of a public message from the Commander-in-Chief regarding an emergency situation and the National Guard.
This is out of bounds. Get a court injunction. This merits it.
Overplaying your hand, Twitter.
And, now, for something completely different….

Thanks for the update!
I’m hopeful that this means a lot of the bugs in the RaspPi 4 design have been shaken out?
Look for more escalation as the summer rolls on.
They may even try to divide or create treason among our military.
Part of a Carlos thread:
What crimes is he hiding??? The more these dirtbags persist, their desperation and fear of exposure resonates louder and LOUDER.
George Floyd & Ex-Officer Allegedly Responsible For His Death Worked Together: Report
MINNEAPOLIS — The unarmed black man who died after being pinned to the ground by a white cop, sparking riots in Minneapolis, reportedly knew his alleged killer.
Ex-cop Derek Chauvin and George Floyd both worked as security guards at the El Nuevo Rodeo club and restaurant in the city.
https://breaking911.com/breaking-george-floyd-officer-allegedly-responsible-for-his-death-worked-together-report-says/
So they were friends for a long time. “We are watching a movie. Q” How do we really know he died? Could the whole thing have been staged to create riots across the country? It has all the markings of a planned FF.

Thread on the Social Media Censorship – Erupting Pre-election Political Drama situation:

The Delusion Called Fauci
By Jon Rappoport

FTA:
…here is a very serious statement from a former editor of one of those “places,” the New England Journal of Medicine:
“It is simply no longer possible to believe much of the clinical research that is published, or to rely on the judgment of trusted physicians or authoritative medical guidelines. I take no pleasure in this conclusion, which I reached slowly and reluctantly over my two decades as an editor of The New England Journal of Medicine.” (Dr. Marcia Angell, NY Review of Books, January 15, 2009, “Drug Companies & Doctors: A Story of Corruption)
And here is another one, from the editor-in-chief of the prestigious journal, The Lancet, founded in 1823:
“The case against science is straightforward: much of the scientific literature, perhaps half, may simply be untrue. Afflicted by studies with small sample sizes, tiny effects, invalid exploratory analyses, and flagrant conflicts of interest, together with an obsession for pursuing fashionable trends of dubious importance, science has taken a turn towards darkness…”
“The apparent endemicity of bad research behaviour is alarming. In their quest for telling a compelling story, scientists too often sculpt data to fit their preferred theory of the world. Or they retrofit hypotheses to fit their data. Journal editors deserve their fair share of criticism too. We aid and abet the worst behaviours. Our acquiescence to the impact factor fuels an unhealthy competition to win a place in a select few journals. Our love of ‘significance’ pollutes the literature with many a statistical fairy-tale…Journals are not the only miscreants. Universities are in a perpetual struggle for money and talent…” (Dr. Richard Horton, editor-in-chief, The Lancet, in The Lancet, 11 April, 2015, Vol 385, “Offline: What is medicine’s 5 sigma?”)
The idea that one of the most helpful entities against disease/viruses, etc. is known to be natural sunlight and fresh air – and has been suppressed/discouraged – makes it clear that this about politics, not health.
Even our ancestors of a 100 years ago had more common sense than what we’re seeing today. Sunlight has always been a great disinfectant…
Wouldn’t exposure be so nice. Drain the science/ medical swamp!
I wonder if Cuomo will have his regular briefing today in which he warns people to wear their masks when they go out. I think we have reached the bottom of the rabbit hole.

I think the thrill of winning supercharges POTUS—give him a tough problem and he solves it and his energy level surges!
do that…solve some tough problem…see if it works for you…POTUS makes it look easy.
That’s the Point, Pat! Been managing problems all week in between ‘spring cleaning’ (ugh) – got two more ‘biggies’ today – praying all the way through, Pat!!!
Yes, he makes it look easy – because he has had ‘management training’ – we are alike in that way – 🙂 – so I can sympathize with him – he ain’t heavy – but, he’s my brother – sounds like a song – 🙂

BIG HUG back to you!!

“But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, meekness, temperance: against such there is no law.” . . . and if we contrast the behavior of the “protesters”, rioters, anarchists, arsonists and looters, the obvious conclusion is that these lawbreakers have nothing to do with the Holy Spirit, but a following their father, the devil.
Amen goes right there, Carl!!!
Brendan Carr is up early…and aware of Twitter censoring the President.

Twitter has abandoned any attempt at a good faith application of its rules.
No one should take comfort in that.
Here it is punishing speakers based on whether it approves or disapproves of their politics.

Note – replies to this are alleging that any criticism of S0r0$ is anti-semitism – hate speech.
Kind of ironic since Soros is an admitted atheist.
