The entire interview's a jawdropper, but that...that one in particular is Just Wow.

Black Female Police Officer Stands Up For Kneeling Woman Pushed by Cop

I read about the kneeling protester being shoved by the pig, but in the flood of similar crimes I didn't catch this followup.
It is the world to me right now.

One black female officer stepped up to confront the cop over his actions. The video shows her yelling and what appears to be scolding as the male cop is running away. The brave officer is now being praised online and one protester behind the camera can be heard shouting “yes, thank you.”

She tore his ass up and he looks ready to crap his pants.

Toadstool's Choice (TheOnion)

WASHINGTON—In an effort to placate the protesters gathered outside, President Donald Trump reportedly screamed, “Let them have Eric!” Monday as he pushed his son through the door of a White House bunker. “Please, you can take Eric, just leave me alone,” said the commander in chief, shoving his third-born son through the bulletproof, double-reinforced door of the White House panic room, repeatedly smashing Eric Trump’s fingers with a large wrench to loosen their grip on the frame. “Tear him apart, do whatever you want with him. I’m sorry, son, but this sacrifice is for the greater good!” After learning that the protesters remained a quarter mile away and were completely separated from the structure by hundreds of Secret Service agents, Trump then threw out Don Jr. as well.

Just in case anyone still thought the problem was just Trump:

(Read the whole thread, it's...a beaut.)

https://www.pennlive.com/news/2020/05/pa-house-democrats-say-keeping-gop-colleagues-exposure-to-covid-19-private-is-unacceptable.html

House Democratic Leader Frank Dermody said he and other House members were shocked to learn that Republican Rep. Andrew Lewis found out he tested positive for COVID-19 on May 20 and they only learned about it on Wednesday.

Lewis, 33, said he has completed his 14-day self-isolation dating to the time when the Dauphin County Republican believes he may have been exposed. He said he is now fully recovered from the mild flu-like symptoms he experienced from the coronavirus.

“While we are pleased to learn that this House member seems to have recovered, it is simply unacceptable that some House Republicans knew about this for more than a week and sat on that knowledge,” said Dermody of Allegheny County.

Jim Bakker: I never said that, please send money

Jim Bakker now claims he never said his Silver Solution cures coronavirus. And because the grift is eternal, he begs for checks. (Of course Right Wing Watch has the clip in which he brings on a shill to "strongly suggest" exactly that.)

His idiot son jumps into the thread to defend Daddy with weaselwording (he knows how the grift works) and gets smacked down.
