Chicago toddler Gunned Down: another soon-to-be-forgotten tragedy in city where violence gets ignored

Walter Shapiro: TEH DRUMPFFF IS TERRORIZING AMERIKKKA!!!!!1111

Once again we are reminded: RIP TNR:

For all his lapdog loyalty and religiously inspired right-wing beliefs, Mike Pence was the speaker who took the higher road at the campaign launch on Saturday night. Pence, in a warm-up speech that even Fox News didn’t carry, at least said to the almost totally white Oklahoma audience, “There is no excuse for what happened to George Floyd.” Pence promptly added, “But there is also no excuse for the rioting, looting, and destruction of property that followed.”

ZOMG CAN YOU BELIEVE HE ADDED "THERE IS ALSO NO EXCUSE FOR THE RIOTING"???

Trump's 2020 Path Gets Steeper

Steve Hilton: Why A Second Trump Term Is So Important

I basically agree with this--currently, anyway. Strange days indeed:

   We have to show that Trump's election was not a short-term aberration, but the start of a long-term change to right the wrongs of the establishment's 50 years of failure. Their ideology of open borders, globalism and endless war devastated working people and the American dream.
   We can't go back to the Democrats or the establishment GOP. We must show that this is a new, enduring conservative populism -- pro-business on tax and regulation, and pro-worker on trade and immigration, pro-America on defense and pro-family on paid leave and tax credits. Conservative judges and criminal justice reform -- law and order and justice.
