1. Giuliani and Cohn
Fri May 4, 2018, 12:29 PM

Giuliani used a lot of the same tactics that Roy Cohn used in his communist which hunt. When Giuliani was a federal prosecutor he would, one assumes in persuit of headlines, intentionally arrest white collar criminals in their places of work and have them led out through their workplaces in handcuffs before ultimately dropping the charges against them (e.g. Richard Wigton). Albeit released, their reputations were ruined, but his profile increased.

15. Relax. The price of liberty is eternal vigilance. Words and language have consequences.

People like Jeff Beauregard Sessions believe anyone accused of terrorism (non-white, of course) is guilty until proven innocent.

Trump said that police officers should not be careful putting suspects into police cars and not worry if their heads got banged. Of course he didn't call them suspects, he called them criminals.

Progressivism requires mindfulness.

His address to the NRA today was loaded with threats of violence. Remember he stated that if he didn't win the election he would not pledge to concede. This is an honored principle of our government that assures the peaceful transition of power. This man is dangerous and could bring about armed rebellion. He has encouraged violence against anyone who protested his despicable lack of values. He is damned by his very own mouth to be a racist.
