Bush v. Gore and the State of U.S. Elections
The Supreme Court used its power to settle the 2000 presidential race. Did that decision change everything, or did it change nothing?

A reminder: Trump 1.0 ordered the Afghanistan withdrawal, and Trump 2.0 granted the shooter asylum this past April. Trump 2.0 also dismantled the joint terrorism task force, and gutted our national security apparatus.

An investigation by ProPublica and @texastribune.org found more than 60 instances of nepotism, self-dealing and conflicts of interest among 27 private schools that likely would have violated state laws had the schools been public.

NEW REPORT reveals the DOJ—after frantically realizing the files would be released—has been paying FBI agents nearly $1M in overtime to work on the “Epstein Transparency Project."
Ostensibly aimed at protecting victims' privacy, the project could also prevent exposing Trump. trib.al/6jortf5

So Trump granted asylum to the National Guard shooter. And the timing was perfect to distract people from his troubles. Too many coincidences. Reminds me of his fake assassination attempt.

An interesting take. For certain the regime has been itching to declare martial law, with the N@zi example of staged events to precipitate same.
I’m gonna say the shooter was another Trump supporter.
I did say earlier that the distraction was intensifying.
I’m guessing this was another cruel, calculated act by Trump and his stand back and stand by creeps.,
How long will we keep tolerating this madness?

If some 2400 troops haven't prevented such an incidence, hundreds more certainly won't. If anything, the presence of so many un-needed troops complicates legitimate law enforcement. A truly moronic course of action.
The maniac’s response to the tragedy today, he’s sending 500 more Nat’l Guard troops to DC.

These two things are true:
1) Shooting National Guard members is horrific and criminal.
2) So is putting National Guard members in harm’s way to score political points.

About 40% of SNAP recipients are children. Around half of ALL children in the country are covered by Medicaid or the Children’s Health Insurance Program.
And the so-called “party of family values” gutted both programs by billions of dollars.
Doesn’t sound very pro-family to me.

Donald Trump isn't wielding his antitrust authority to protect the American people — he's using it to reward his allies.
He's instilling his own twisted version of Bork-era antitrust enforcement, which gave corporate monopolies outsized power at the expense of everyone else.
