And so on
The Trump campaign wants CNN to "apologize" and retract a poll showing Joe Biden with a 14-point lead. Is it time to panic? It certainly sounds like panic.
Plus ca change, plus c'est la meme Tulsa. Major Travis Yates of the Tulsa Police appeared on a podcast hosted by Pat Campbell and suggested that police do not shoot enough black people. He will no doubt cite bad timing to mitigate the grief that is coming his way, because it aired the day before George Floyd was killed. (Why do police have military ranks anyway? Maybe if we called all of them "constable" they would stop seeing themselves as Audie Murphy charging a Wehrmacht machine gun emplacement.) Oh, look who's holding a rally in Tulsa on June 19.
The Interior Department has lifted a ban on killing bear cubs and wolf pups in Alaska because it was enacted by the Obama Administration. It sounds like someone wants to get Donnie Jr. as far as possible from the RNC convention, now penciled in for Jacksonville, Florida. Without spending another $75,000 in public money to fly him to Mongolia for the big sheep hunt.
A former co-worker says George Floyd and Derek Chauvin "bumped heads" when both men worked as security guards in a Minneapolis club. Expect to hear more at the trial.
Trump's new African American Raynard Jackson says Don Lemon and Joy Reid have killed more black people than the Klan. So, a lot more people than Joe Scarborough. Accusing media people of murder is a new wrinkle in American politics. Whatever happened to sex scandals?
In Franklin Township, New Jersey, two men put on some street theater in which they re-enacted the murder of George Floyd. They have been fired by Fedex and the New Jersey Department of Corrections. If the RNC is having trouble booking entertainers as usual, they're probably available.
HBO Max, which is apparently a streaming service I never heard of, announced itself with a ton of free publicity by "withdrawing" Gone With the Wind until it can be augmented with added material affording the viewer a fresh perspective. Someone at HBO noticed it was a tad racist. It's also nearly four hours long. My guess: a lot of people will decide they don't give a damn about the new stuff, but HBO will have deflected complaints. Very clever.
NASCAR has banned Confederate flags at its races. Enforcing this one should be...interesting.
The Georgia primary was a textbook on voter suppression: long lines, defective machines, half-trained poll workers and not enough polling stations. Send a copy to Chief Justice Roberts. ("Racial disparity...was compelling evidence justifying the preclearance remedy and the coverage formula. There is no longer such a disparity.")
Coronavirus has not paid any attention to our social and political upheaval. It's spiking in at least nine newly opened states, with about two million confirmed cases in the US. Experts think 200,000 will have died by September. Ignoring it doesn't work any better than bathing in bleach.
