US Park Police Say They Did NOT Fire Tear Gas At White House Protesters, Claim Demonstrators Were Attacking Cops

One out of three law enforcement agencies was quoted by an unnamed source that they didn’t use tear gas. Has the Park Service official statement been released yet? I think I’m going to believe the Episcopal priest before I believe a guy talking on the Wire.

William Barr personally gave order to disperse protesters ahead of Trump photo op, DOJ confirms


The Attorney General of the United States personally issued an order for peaceful protesters to be moved ahead of President Donald Trump’s recent walk outside the White House grounds, a report said on Tuesday.

A Justice Department official confirmed to The Washington Post that Attorney General William Barr gave the order when he was seen outside the White House prior to the president’s walk to St. John’s Episcopal Church.

But on Monday, a White House spokesperson had denied that the protesters were moved to accommodate the president.

“The perimeter was expanded to help enforce the city’s 7 p.m. curfew in the same area where rioters attempted to burn down one of our nation’s most historic churches the night before,” Deputy Press Secretary Judd Deere told ABC News. “Protesters were given three warnings by the U.S. Park Police.”

It was an irritant according to witnesses, could have been smoke, but you have to be a dumbass trumpanzee to believe peaceful protesters weren’t removed so Bunkerbitch could wave a Bible for a photo op.

I imagine in that sort of situation, there isn’t much difference in smoke bombs or tear gas. I’m pretty sure it wasn’t jasmine.

One of America's most prominent conservative columnists wants Republicans to lose in 2020 - CNNPolitics

For the better part of the last four decades, George F. Will has been at the intellectual center of American conservatism. Now he is calling for a full-blown rout of the Republican Party at the ballot box in November.

On trump
"this low-rent Lear raging on his Twitter-heath has proven that the phrase malignant buffoon is not an oxymoron"

On Republicans,
"In life's unforgiving arithmetic, we are the sum of our choices. Congressional Republicans have made theirs for more than 1,200 days. We cannot know all the measures necessary to restore the nation's domestic health and international standing, but we know the first step: Senate Republicans must be routed, as condign punishment for their Vichyite collaboration, leaving the Republican remnant to wonder: Was it sensible to sacrifice dignity, such as it ever was, and to shed principles, if convictions so easily jettisoned could be dignified as principles, for ... what? Praying people should pray, and all others should hope: May I never crave anything as much as these people crave membership in the world's most risible deliberative body."

I have always respected George Will long before he left the Republican Party. He is thoughtful and crafts very intelligent statements. I always felt his commentaries were unbiased views of what he saw, neither right nor left. I’d like to know where these excepts came from. The entire piece is probably great reading.
