All together
Executive Order No. 78,632 was Sharpied with great flourish and sycophantic applause yesterday, putting a stop to police brutality and, according to K-Leg, bringing us together. Not soon enough to prevent a Latino man and an African American teenager "suiciding" from trees in Houston, but they were probably depressed about something. The order creates a database of particularly violent police, rewards those who can go a year without shooting anyone (an AA-type chip, presumably) and bans chokeholds unless the choker decides it's really, really necessary. OK? Today he shuffled out to the Rose Garden with his African American senator, Tim Scott, who got the job of introducing an equally pointless bag of nothing. Then he lied about Obama and claimed there is an AIDS vaccine. Another Wednesday in the record books. PepsiCo accomplished more for racial justice by announcing the removal of Aunt Jemima from its bottles of brown corn syrup.
In other racism news, Steve Mnuchin will finally release $679 million in stimulus funds voted by Congress for Native American businesses, because a judge said he has to. Again. Trump's West Palm Beach golf club is also seeking covid relief. That check is already in the mail.
John Bolton is a twat, but right now he's our twat. His book Mustache of Destiny or whatever it's called was excerpted in the Wall Street Journal and basically confirms what alert middle-schoolers already knew: Trump's foreign policy consists of bullying small countries like Ukraine and abasing himself to big ones like China, with no higher goal than getting re-elected. When Bolton witnessed such shocking things he alerted Generalissimo Barr and White House Counsel Cipollone, who sprang into inaction. Talking to Robert Mueller or even Rachel Maddow never occurred to him. Twat.
Coronarama is still on for Tulsa this weekend, but Bruce Dart, director of the Tulsa Health Department, and even Senator James Lankford (R-OK) seem to be uncomfortable with this "great honor." Anthony Fauci can't stand to watch, and has begun to question his choice of careers.
Violent police are everyone's problem: a white woman named Hannah Fizer was shot and killed at a traffic stop by a Pettis County, Missouri, deputy sheriff. The State Highway Patrol initially claimed she had a gun, but none was found. There is no dash- or body-cam video because it's too expensive, so this may come down to he said-she dead. Fizer was 25.
Garrett Rolfe, who shot Rayshard Brooks twice in the back, has been charged with felony murder; his partner Devin Brosnan was charged with aggravated assault.
Edmund Pettus was a Confederate general and head of the Alabama Klan. The movement to take his name off the infamous bridge and replace it with Rep. John Lewis has gained momentum. It would be a way for Governor Ivey to redeem her blackface antics in college, if she wants to. I promise to stop calling her "Poison" for one calendar year. Is it a deal?
