Deeper training could refer to more militarization or more compassionate policing. Based on the history of continuing police training so far, I expect the former. I would love to be wrong here.

By bringing this up, aren’t you contributing to the division of America? We should just ignore all the ****ed up things republicans are doing. It’s the only way to unite the country…

That’s someone who absolutely needs to be investigated. Who paid off all his debts? And with the amount of sexual harassment accusations and the way the White House squashed them before his confirmation, it’s pretty obvious that people in power knew the accusations were credible. But republicans have proven that they can do whatever they want without ever being held to account. The loudest, richest, and most belligerent always get off.

Antifa in the forests? What? I really wished some of you would understand how insane you sound to those of us NOT addicted to Fox News’s alternative reality.
Meanwhile back in reality, anyone else looking forward to some football this weekend???

I’m wondering if the tweet sent out, which caused Twitter to suspend the account, calling for people to journey to Atlanta for a day of rage, is what caused Right wing rags, like the Daily Mail(but they are superb at photo journalism) to scream “it’s Antifa”. And maybe the Right wants to peg environmental radicals as a branch of “Antifa” while there at it.

“People have said this reminds them of Germany in 1935,” Jeffery Jones, whose bid for a council seat in Goddard, Kansas, collapsed last week as Hunter Larkinabruptly took control, told The Daily Beast. “Like, ‘Hey, we don’t like you anymore and we’re gonna vote you out and put our own person in.’”….
…..”The convoluted machinations by which Larkin maneuvered his way back into power were described as “essentially, a coup” and reminiscent of a totalitarian regime, according to one recently departed council member. And while Goddard, a Wichita suburb with a population of just under 5,400, isn’t necessarily going to influence policy shifts on a national scale, the strategy used by Larkin—a right-winger who last year promoted an appearance in Goddard by accused sex pest and conservative kingmaker Matt Schlapp—could serve as a stark warning of what’s possible elsewhere.
“I have to hand it to Larkin,” Wichita Eagle columnist Dion Lefle wrote. “I’ve covered cities for a long time and have seldom seen a political takeover that was this sleazy, and yet this well-orchestrated.”

Wow. Gotta give the guy some credit. I never had anything like this in mind at 23 years old. He has fully embraced the most sleazy side of politics, that was a slick maneuver. Hell, we might be seeing the future Hugo Chavez of the united states.Working at a local level….

And why wouldn't they? They've been successful in gerrymandering, voter suppression, and packing the court. So what's stopping authoritarians from continuing to do authoritarian things? Things is why civil rights experts, professors, and political scientists have been sounding the alarm since 2010. Republicans have been pretty open about what they want to do.Working at a local level….

Weeks before the Supreme Court rules on the legality of the citizenship question, evidence filed in court could further erode the Trump administration’s rationale for the question.

Once you've chosen to give up on winning arguments based on ideas, candidates, and policies and have given up on democracy, why wouldn't you continue to ignore democracy? At some point, our elections will just be ceremonial as the outcomes are already known. Heck, they already are in many states.
