The Insurrection Act does require an actual insurrection. The violence in Minneapolis is almost exclusively one-sided. People yelling at you, calling you names, and recording you on a cell phone isn’t violence. And if the courts let Trump say it is, we’re in a lot of trouble.

NEWS: I’ve obtained a list of 48 U.S. Ambassadors at embassies the Trump admin is recalling with little or no explanation. Along with existing several dozen vacancies, they leave an unprecedented number of U.S. embassies leaderless.
This list was compiled internally at State & there may be others:

State and local prosecutors really need to beef up their staffs, because for the next 38 months, anyone convicted on federal charges will be in line to get a pardon or commutation for absolutely no good reason whatsoever.
He hurt thousands of people.
He finally was convicted, and went to prison on Nov. 14.
Trump set him free the day before Thanksgiving.

Remember the time Obama personally caught a fainting woman during his speech — rather than just blankly staring like a sociopath?

So you should really watch this. Just 2 minutes. But a window into the truly radical nature of the people Trump is nominating.
When pressed today, the nominee to be Ambassador to South Africa refuses to oppose reinstituting laws to prevent black people from voting in America.
