Protests have erupted across the United States in the wake of the police murder of black man George Floyd in Minneapolis, Minnesota. As days have gone on, an increasing number of outside agitators have emerged in the mix — on Saturday, Minnesota authorities reported that some 80 percent of people who’d been arrested the previous night were from out of state. There have been reports of white supremacists and similarly minded radicals among those who’ve taken advantage of the situation, but this Saturday, President Donald Trump rushed to Twitter with the dubious at best proclamation that he supposedly knows that it’s the “Radical Left” who are behind the tumult. If questioned, could he even define what “radical left” means, or is he just saying what he thinks sounds best for him politically?

In fact, NBC has reported that Minnesota Governor Tim Walz (D) noted that “he is aware of unconfirmed reports that gangs of white supremacists are taking advantage of the anarchy unfolding in Minneapolis to create more chaos.” Why does Trump care to defend right-wingers in the first place? Does he think that white supremacists, who have been accused of involvement in rioting, are actually great people who shouldn’t have their supposedly good names tarnished? In fact, that’s the exact perspective he’s laid out in the past — after neo-Nazi rioting in Charlottesville, Virginia, Trump insisted that “very fine people” were among the demonstrators.

While covering a protest outside the White House this week , Fox News correspondent Leland Vittert ended up having to abandon a live broadcast he was delivering when anti-Fox protesters confronted his crew .
Vittert seems to have been absolutely fine , but the protesters began chanting “ Fuck Fox News !

Check out the scene below : There ’ s other video footage that has emerged of an angry , larger crowd that is apparently chasing Vittert and his crew away from the demonstration entirely , all while chanting the “ Fuck Fox News ” slogan .
President Donald Trump himself has weighed in on the protests that unfolded outside the White House , although he didn @ @ @ @ @ @ @ confrontation with demonstrators who seemed angry about his network ’ s tendency towards promoting right-wing propaganda .

President Donald Trump himself has weighed in on the protests that unfolded outside the White House, although he didn’t specifically mention Vittert’s confrontation with demonstrators who seemed angry about his network’s tendency towards promoting right-wing propaganda. What Trump did do, however, wad glibly threaten violence against the demonstrators, many of whom, like in other cities around the country, were entirely peaceful.
Trump posted on Twitter, in reference to the Secret Service’s handling of the demonstrators:
‘[Whenever] someone got too frisky or out of line, they would quickly come down on them, hard – didn’t know what hit them. The front line was replaced with fresh agents, like magic. Big crowd, professionally organized, but nobody came close to breaching the fence. If they had they would have been greeted with the most vicious dogs, and most ominous weapons, I have ever seen.’
Trump sounds like he is treating this entire situation like some kind of violent game. He even added that members of the Secret Service were supposedly in on the game mentality, tweeting that “Many Secret Service agents just waiting for action.”
The protests, in D.C. and elsewhere, have erupted following the police murder of George Floyd, a black man in Minneapolis, Minnesota, which itself has ended up an epicenter of many of the demonstrations. Lately, some of those demonstrations have been co-opted by outside agitators — an increasingly large portion of the people arrested for violence in the Minneapolis area have apparently been from out-of-state — and while local authorities deal with those issues, Trump has again turned to ridiculous rhetoric.
He tweeted:
‘Mayor Jacob Frey of Minneapolis will never be mistaken for the late, great General Douglas McArthur or great fighter General George Patton. How come all of these places that defend so poorly are run by Liberal Democrats? Get tough and fight (and arrest the bad ones). STRENGTH!’

bipartisanreport--2020-05-31--Trump Jr. Embarrasses Himself With Sunday ANTIFA Message

Donald Trump just tweeted that he was designating Antifa as a “ violent terrorist organization : ” He had to make several mental leaps to come to that conclusion .
Were they burning and looting , or were white supremacists committing the destruction ?
Perhaps , it was someone else doing the damage ?
Former Ambassador to United Nations Susan Rice appeared with Wolff Blitzer on CNN and pointed out that Trump had called the white supremacists “ very fine people.
” Donald Trump Jr. tweeted a question asking whether people thought “ ANTIFA ” ( sic ) was “ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ “ long history of violence , ” which was a false choice , of course .
Notice that he got Antifa wrong : This is where Junior got his capitalization wrong , from Dad .
Trump Sr. had just designated “ ANTIFA ” ( sic ) as a terrorist organization ” and inspired his eldest son ’ s tweet : What is Antifa all about ?
The organization takes its name from “ anti-fascism , ” according to the BBC .
The members often dressed in blacks with masks and confronted neo-Nazis , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ beginning in the early 2000s .
Still , they were basically dormant until Trump appeared with his “ very fine people , ” white supremacists .
Ironically , like those they oppose , Antifa has some anti-government tendencies .
One member said : They disrupt alt-right speakers and events , not peaceful protests .
Their tactics include : shouting , chanting , and forming human chains .
They have also formed counter-demonstrations .
That was not to say they did not give back physically as much as they were given to protect peaceful @ @ @ @ @ @ @ social media and releases their personal information .
When Donald Jr. retweeted his father ’ s message about “ designating ANTIFA ” a “ Terrorist Organization , ” Americans across the nation stood up and called him out .
Take a look at some of our absolute favorite responses below and see if you agree with them .
Democrats 2020 – Vote Blue Up & Down The Ballots was far briefer than its name , but this individual certainly did pack a punching with those two words : Then Ally Macpherson resists authoritarians @ @ @ @ @ @ @ he struggled to get up : Mast Chief Resists !
pointed toward a line out of the classic movie The Godfather .
Fredo Corleone argued after betraying his family , “ I can handle things .
I ’ m smart !
Not like everybody says.
” In one word , Master Chief tied “ Junior ” to the less-than-bright fictional brother : When Is Trump Gone ?
got right to the point : JP noted that Don Jr. had no evidence : Then , she gave examples “ a name , a date @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ” After that she gave a poignant example : She suggested that just like Trump , his eldest son preferred magical thinking : Hopeful Cathy suggested white nationalists committed the violence during the peaceful demonstrations : The looting appeared to be organized .
David B. also pointed out the biggest “ looters ” of all : Of course , Americans might wonder about those on the other side .
John Betts appeared to be out to lunch , because his tweet made absolutely no sense : Viola Lee added that she could tell @ @ @ @ @ @ @ and “ Antifa.
” Interesting : The Mueller Report Adventures : In Bite-Sizes on this Facebook page .

Donald Trump just tweeted that he was designating Antifa as a “violent terrorist organization:” He had to make several mental leaps to come to that conclusion. Were they burning and looting, or were white supremacists committing the destruction? Perhaps, it was someone else doing the damage?
Former Ambassador to United Nations Susan Rice appeared with Wolff Blitzer on CNN and pointed out that Trump had called the white supremacists “very fine people.”
Donald Trump Jr. tweeted a question asking whether people thought “ANTIFA” (sic) was “a violent terrorist organization” with a “long history of violence,” which was a false choice, of course. Notice that he got Antifa wrong:
‘Do @JoeBiden, @SpeakerPelosi and @SenSchumer agree with President Trump that ANTIFA is a violent terrorist organization or will they defend and excuse ANTIFA’s (sic) long history of violence?’
This is where Junior got his capitalization wrong, from Dad. Trump Sr. had just designated “ANTIFA” (sic) as a terrorist organization” and inspired his eldest son’s tweet:
‘The United States of America will be designating ANTIFA as a Terrorist Organization.’
What is Antifa all about? The organization takes its name from “anti-fascism,” according to the BBC. The members often dressed in blacks with masks and confronted neo-Nazis, white supremacists, neo0fascism, and racism beginning in the early 2000s. Still, they were basically dormant until Trump appeared with his “very fine people,” white supremacists. Ironically, like those they oppose, Antifa has some anti-government tendencies. One member said:
‘It’s not just resisting the federal administration but also resisting moves that can lead to fascism, and those happen locally whether from local officials or from local alt-right movements.’
They disrupt alt-right speakers and events, not peaceful protests. Their tactics include: shouting, chanting, and forming human chains. They have also formed counter-demonstrations. That was not to say they did not give back physically as much as they were given to protect peaceful protesters. Antifa monitors its opponents’ social media and releases their personal information.
When Donald Jr. retweeted his father’s message about “designating ANTIFA” a “Terrorist Organization,” Americans across the nation stood up and called him out. Take a look at some of our absolute favorite responses below and see if you agree with them.
Democrats 2020 – Vote Blue Up & Down The Ballots was far briefer than its name, but this individual certainly did pack a punching with those two words:
‘Trump’s Peeps’
Nicole Justis Ubben quoted dear old Dad’s comment about white nationalists:
‘But white nationalists are very fine people, right??’
Then Ally Macpherson resists authoritarians nailed Junior against the IQ board where he struggled to get up:
‘Not very bright are you?’
Mast Chief Resists! pointed toward a line out of the classic movie The Godfather. Fredo Corleone argued after betraying his family, “I can handle things. I’m smart! Not like everybody says.” In one word, Master Chief tied “Junior” to the less-than-bright fictional brother:
‘Junior:’
When Is Trump Gone? got right to the point:
‘7 Months, 20 Days, 9 Minutes, and 52 Seconds’
JP noted that Don Jr. had no evidence:
‘What you are doing is repeating something other people are saying without any actual evidence. You can give us the names of the people saying it, but no details to support what they say. That’s called a baseless claim. It’s called hearsay. It’s called a rumor.’
Then, she gave examples “a name, a date, a place, a verified event.” After that she gave a poignant example:
‘Here’s the difference between truth and what you are doing: when you have the truth, you have a name, a date, a place, a verified event, such as James Fields running over a girl with his car in Charlottesville, 8/12/17; or, George Floyd killed by Chauvin, May 2020.’
She suggested that just like Trump, his eldest son preferred magical thinking:
‘No wonder you and your kind hate journalists. The processes they use to get the stories they report are completely incomprehensible to you. Here’s your process: I think it, therefore it must be true. All I need to do is find someone else who thinks it and that makes it so.’
Hopeful Cathy suggested white nationalists committed the violence during the peaceful demonstrations:
‘White nationalists were the violent rioters, using George Floyd as a cover. The protesters were a different group.’
The looting appeared to be organized. David B. also pointed out the biggest “looters” of all:
‘LOOTERS’
Of course, Americans might wonder about those on the other side. John Betts appeared to be out to lunch, because his tweet made absolutely no sense:

bipartisanreport--2020-05-31--Trump Accuses Democrats Of Protest Conspiracy During Afternoon Meltdown

This Sunday , the White House planned no public appearances for President Donald Trump , but that does not mean that he wasn ’ t making his presence known anyway .
On Sunday afternoon , he rushed to Twitter to accuse Philadelphia city authorities of not doing enough to stem the tide of violent protest in the city amidst nationwide unrest following the police murder of black man George Floyd .
In his rant , Trump revealed just how ignorantly useless that his so-called presidency really is amidst the crisis , because he got a basic fact completely wrong and @ @ @ @ @ @ @ done although he ’ s barely even done anything at all .
To be clear , there is looting that has taken place in many cities around the country .
It ’ s definitely not just Philadelphia , and it ’ s definitely not the bulk of the demonstrations , which have included a scattering of agitators in the mix .
Trump ’ s tweet here , in which he singled out Philadelphia , makes it sound like the president saw a cable news report about Philly and decided to rush to Twitter @ @ @ @ @ @ @ s not exactly reassuring that amidst a crisis , this inane ranting is all that the president has to offer .
There ’ s another problem , too — although the number of deployed troops spiked significantly as the days went on , the National Guard was already in Minneapolis days ago .
The basic premise of Trump ’ s rhetoric otherwise , which he ’ s tried to use to depict local authorities as cowards , is wrong .
And important note — it ’ s governors who deploy the National Guard @ @ @ @ @ @ @ is he thanking himself ?
Does he think that his whiny tweets sparked the deployment that began days beforehand ?

This Sunday, the White House planned no public appearances for President Donald Trump, but that does not mean that he wasn’t making his presence known anyway. On Sunday afternoon, he rushed to Twitter to accuse Philadelphia city authorities of not doing enough to stem the tide of violent protest in the city amidst nationwide unrest following the police murder of black man George Floyd. In his rant, Trump revealed just how ignorantly useless that his so-called presidency really is amidst the crisis, because he got a basic fact completely wrong and congratulated himself for a supposed job well done although he’s barely even done anything at all.
He tweeted:
‘Law & Order in Philadelphia, NOW! They are looting stores. Call in our great National Guard like they FINALLY did (thank you President Trump) last night in Minneapolis. Is this what voters want with Sleepy Joe? All Dems!’
Law & Order in Philadelphia, NOW! They are looting stores. Call in our great National Guard like they FINALLY did (thank you President Trump) last night in Minneapolis. Is this what voters want with Sleepy Joe? All Dems! — Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) May 31, 2020
To be clear, there is looting that has taken place in many cities around the country. It’s definitely not just Philadelphia, and it’s definitely not the bulk of the demonstrations, which have included a scattering of agitators in the mix. Trump’s tweet here, in which he singled out Philadelphia, makes it sound like the president saw a cable news report about Philly and decided to rush to Twitter with his soundbite-size thoughts. It’s not exactly reassuring that amidst a crisis, this inane ranting is all that the president has to offer.
As he oversees a country plunged into chaos — with national protests, a pandemic & economic despair throughout — Trump again tweets another dishonest attack on the media aimed at fomenting hate against journalists who have been putting their safety at risk to deliver the news. https://t.co/90QxQSbkZK — Oliver Darcy (@oliverdarcy) May 31, 2020
There’s another problem, too — although the number of deployed troops spiked significantly as the days went on, the National Guard was already in Minneapolis days ago. The basic premise of Trump’s rhetoric otherwise, which he’s tried to use to depict local authorities as cowards, is wrong. And important note — it’s governors who deploy the National Guard rather than the president. So why is he thanking himself? Does he think that his whiny tweets sparked the deployment that began days beforehand?
They were there two nights ago. And now multiple cities across the country are burning. https://t.co/oXKwgPTZCI — Maggie Haberman (@maggieNYT) May 31, 2020

bipartisanreport--2020-05-31--Mike Pompeo Embarrasses Himself During ‘Fox News Sunday’ Appearance

Although many of the other issues that the United States has been facing lately may overshadow the Trump administration ’ s brazen corruption , it ’ s still there .
During an appearance on Fox early this Sunday , Secretary of State Mike Pompeo brazenly admitted that personal political interests weighed on President Donald Trump ’ s recent firing of Steve Linick from his post as the ethics oversight official responsible for the State Department .
Pompeo complained that Linick had not been supportive enough of the foreign policy of Trump and his goons — but that ’ s quite @ @ @ @ @ @ @ job .
‘ All we ’ ve done is simply make sure… that we had an inspector general that was working towards the mission of the United States Department of State and the foreign policy of Donald Trump… These attacks have become very personal to me .
They ’ ve now gone after my wife… They ’ ve attacked me for my faith .
They ’ ve attacked my wife for trying to help the State Department and the CIA be better.
’ First of all , the idea that there is some @ @ @ @ @ @ @ s wife look bad is laughable .
In reality , one of the investigations that Linick was handling at the time of his firing covered Pompeo ’ s demands for diplomatic security agents to carry out personal errands like walking the Pompeos ’ dog .
Noting that tasking government officials with those errands is an abuse of power is not some kind of nefarious conspiracy — is Pompeo ’ s unelected and unaccountable wife leading some kind of other secret policy charge at the department ?
More broadly — inspectors general are not @ @ @ @ @ @ @ policy of the president .
That ’ s the opposite of their job description , which outlines their role as meant to be distinct from the political arms of the administration .
That ’ s not a difficult distinction to grasp — Pompeo is either ignorant of the authoritarianism at hand , doesn ’ t care , or both .
The Inspector General Act of 1978 states that inspectors general “ shall be appointed by the President , by and with the advice and consent of the Senate , without regard to political @ @ @ @ @ @ @ integrity and demonstrated ability ” ( emphasis added ) .
The legislation adds : Those heads of the establishments in question seem to refer to officials like Pompeo , whose establishment is the State Department .
He is apparently explicitly prohibited from blocking inspectors general from doing their jobs and carrying out “ any investigation , ” but that ’ s exactly what he did .
At the time that he got the president to fire Linick , the official was looking into issues like the Trump administration ’ s rushed sale of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ of State ’ s own pattern of hosting expensive dinners for special guests at the taxpayer ’ s expense .
The corruption fits a much larger pattern of similar behavior from the Trump administration , which has been defrauding the American people throughout its almost four years in power .

Pompeo complained that Linick had not been supportive enough of the foreign policy of Trump and his goons — but that’s quite literally not an inspector general’s job.
Mike Pompeo had the State Department IG fired when he was investigating Pompeo's: 1-Taxpayer funded political dinners

3-Forcing Diplomatic Security agents to run personal errands Americans deserve better. pic.twitter.com/g9ZqcqWscW — Joel Rubin (@JoelMartinRubin) May 25, 2020
Pompeo complained:
‘All we’ve done is simply make sure… that we had an inspector general that was working towards the mission of the United States Department of State and the foreign policy of Donald Trump… These attacks have become very personal to me. They’ve now gone after my wife… They’ve attacked me for my faith. They’ve attacked my wife for trying to help the State Department and the CIA be better.’
More from Pompeo, responding to Bartiromo's question on Linick's ouster: "These attacks have become very personal to me. They've now gone after my wife. … They've attacked me for my faith. They've attacked my wife for trying to help the State Department and the CIA be better." — Will Saletan (@saletan) May 31, 2020
First of all, the idea that there is some kind of conspiracy to make Pompeo’s wife look bad is laughable. In reality, one of the investigations that Linick was handling at the time of his firing covered Pompeo’s demands for diplomatic security agents to carry out personal errands like walking the Pompeos’ dog. Noting that tasking government officials with those errands is an abuse of power is not some kind of nefarious conspiracy — is Pompeo’s unelected and unaccountable wife leading some kind of other secret policy charge at the department?
Pompeo just admitted his unelected & unappointed wife has influence over The State Dept & the CIA. Think about that. https://t.co/QkaEWQn0P3 — Sure Rants-Alot (@voxrob) May 31, 2020
More broadly — inspectors general are not supposed to serve to support the foreign policy of the president. That’s the opposite of their job description, which outlines their role as meant to be distinct from the political arms of the administration. That’s not a difficult distinction to grasp — Pompeo is either ignorant of the authoritarianism at hand, doesn’t care, or both.
aka “they were investigating me for corrupt activities, which is doing their job — which we don’t like. We prefer loyal stooges in this Department who don’t question my flagrant abuse of power and misuse of taxpayer funds to further my personal political ambitions” https://t.co/sTAaVucnAV — barb dybwad (@doctorparadox) May 31, 2020
The Inspector General Act of 1978 states that inspectors general “shall be appointed by the President, by and with the advice and consent of the Senate, without regard to political affiliation and solely on the basis of integrity and demonstrated ability” (emphasis added). The legislation adds:
‘Neither the head of the establishment nor the officer next in rank below such head shall prevent or prohibit the Inspector General from initiating, carrying out, or completing any audit or investigation, or from issuing any subpoena during the course of any audit or investigation.’
Those heads of the establishments in question seem to refer to officials like Pompeo, whose establishment is the State Department. He is apparently explicitly prohibited from blocking inspectors general from doing their jobs and carrying out “any investigation,” but that’s exactly what he did. At the time that he got the president to fire Linick, the official was looking into issues like the Trump administration’s rushed sale of weapons to Saudi Arabia and the Secretary of State’s own pattern of hosting expensive dinners for special guests at the taxpayer’s expense.
Why would the CEO of Chick-fil-A have a say in foreign affairs? We can’t imagine a reason, but Sec. Pompeo invited him to a taxpayer-funded Madison Dinner anyway. We’re investigating the cost to taxpayers. https://t.co/vaEBFHUJ0J — Citizens for Ethics (@CREWcrew) May 31, 2020
The corruption fits a much larger pattern of similar behavior from the Trump administration, which has been defrauding the American people throughout its almost four years in power.
We don’t have a president. We have an anti-president whose only goal is to dismantle government in order to enable corruption and profit. Trump has no desire to lead. No interest in quelling chaos. In saving lives. This lays at his door. It all lays at his door. — Jared Yates Sexton (@JYSexton) May 31, 2020


bipartisanreport--2020-05-31--Trump Breaks Silence With Insanity-Fueled Sunday Twitter Rant

Whenever a crisis happens in a blue state , Trump is quick to blame mayors , governors , and Democratic members of Congress .
When a global pandemic kills 105,000 people and the Trump administration fails to respond for an entire months , it ’ s everyone else ’ s fault – Obama , the governors , the CDC , The World Health Organization , China , and Dr. Anthony Fauci – and Trump publicly refuses to take responsibility .
Donald Trump is president of the United States .
No one has more authority in this country than he does @ @ @ @ @ @ @ everyone ’ s fault but his and he takes no responsibility , just rants and raves and points fingers , stirring further unrest and division at a time when it is least needed .
Trump also repeated a lie he had tweeted the night before during the protests .
The mayor of Minneapolis , Jacob Frey , called in the National Guard two days before Trump tweeted the lie the first time , which was widely reported on both local and national news stations .
Trump is once again taking credit for a @ @ @ @ @ @ @ outrage over businesses being burned and looted is also much more evident than any emotion he felt for the violent and tragic deaths of George Floyd , Breonna Taylor , or Ahmaud Arbery , the deaths of whom sparked the nationwide protests .
In fact , he hasn ’ t mentioned Taylor or Arbery at all .
It ’ s also interesting to note that Trump ’ s outrage over these protests are quite different than his reaction to the armed insurrection led by white men with semi-automatic weapons who stormed government buildings @ @ @ @ @ @ @ officers during a global pandemic , and protested their dearly-held rights to get haircuts and tattoos .
Somehow , none of those groups were designated a terrorist organization .
Antifa , by the way , is not an organization , nor are they the reported groups doing damage to start conflict among the protesters .
In fact , police suspect far right groups such as the Bugaloo Boys , most of whom vehemently support Donald Trump .

It remains unclear what exactly President Donald Trump ’ s daughter and adviser Ivanka is actually doing in the White House other than serving as a symbol of the First Family ’ s commitment to nepotism .
She ’ s yet to make any kind of recognizably lasting positive impact , although her name has been attached to a few projects .
This Sunday morning , as the U.S. continued to grapple with days of increasingly intense protests over rampant police brutality , Ivanka rushed to Twitter to post a random Bible verse .
She could have spoken about potential @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ’ concerns , but instead , she opted to glibly cast off responsibility for the situation onto a grand heavenly inevitability , or something .
That sounds great , except for the fact that “ the Lord ” is not the president of the United States or one of their top advisers .
What about the actual president ’ s response to the crisis ?
What about Ivanka ’ s ?
There ’ s a time of national turmoil that ’ s erupted amidst rage over repeated police murders of unarmed black men @ @ @ @ @ @ @ as best as can be told at this point , Ivanka is not in on any sort of policy deliberations covering the way forward .

People talk about Donald Trump missing the “empathy gene,” as if that was some kind of genetic excuse for his poor presidential performance. This is no freak of nature. Trump’s lack of empathy or care whether other people live or die is a choice and an extremely dangerous attitude. Compare that to Joe Biden’s response.
Presumed Democratic presidential candidate and former Vice President Joe Biden is a walking-talking empathy machine with strength forced in those tragic fires. The loss of a wife and his little girl in a car accident, then later his eldest son to cancer forced him to look beyond himself — also a choice.
The nation saw a police murder of George Floyd, known as a “gentle giant” in slow motion and from many directions. Biden has urged the protestors to stop the violence across the country. There was some question about whether the violence was spontaneous and emanated from a crowd mentality or from out-of-state anarchists. Biden’s statement read, according to Axio:
‘Protesting such brutality is right and necessary. It’s an utterly American response. But burning down communities and needless destruction is not. Violence that endangers lives is not.’
The former vice president continued:
‘Violence that guts and shutters businesses that serve the community is not. The act of protesting should never be allowed to overshadow the reason we protest. It should not drive people away from the just cause that protest is meant to advance.’
Biden added emphatically “to protect and serve” meant “to protect and serve them:”
‘As President, I will help lead this conversation — and more importantly, I will listen. I will keep the commitment I made to George’s brother, Philonise, that George will not just be a hashtag. We must and will get to a place where everyone, regardless of race, believes that “to protect and serve” means to protect and serve them.’
Then, the candidate added that “I can’t breathe” is a “tragic reminder:”
‘Watching his life be taken in the same manner, echoing nearly the same words as Eric Garner more than five years ago — “I can’t breathe” — is a tragic reminder that this was not an isolated incident, but part of an ingrained systemic cycle that exists in this country.’
Unfortunately, Trump chooses not to do that. Instead, he whined and complained that he was a victim. Both of these are very poor qualities in a man up for election in November.
Joe Biden talked to Floyd’s family and urged Americans to demand change when it came to police brutality against African Americans:
‘[N]one of us can stay silent. None of us can hear the words “I can’t breathe” and do nothing.’
Conversely, Trump tweeted:
‘[W]hen the looting starts, the shooting starts.’
In addition, the president said he talked to Floyd’s family, too. Floyd’s brother said that he could not even get a word in during the conversation. Trump said:
‘[A] close, decent, honorable family loving one another.’
In addition, POTUS noted that Minneapolis protestors were “thugs…dishonoring” the memory of this latest victim:
‘One of the things everyone must be able to do: Breathe. The original sin of this country still remains today, and sometimes we manage to overlook it. We just push forward with a thousand other tasks in our daily life, but it’s always there.’
The former vice president addressed the problem of black Americans killed by police. These included Breonna Taylor, who was from Kentucky, and Ahmaud Arbery, who was from Georgia. Biden said:
‘It’s a list that dates back more than 400 years.’
Biden urged the country to think about the systemic inequity between whites and other people. He said:
‘Imagine if every time your husband or daughter, son or wife left the house and you feared for their safety from bad actors and bad police. Imagine if you have to have that talk about not asserting their rights, taking the abuse given to them, just so they could make it home. ‘[A] n act of brutality so elemental it denied him of his very humanity, it denied him of his life.’
The former vice president spoke about Floyd’s murder during a virtual roundtable with Governor Tom Wolf of Pennsylvania. They compared it to the murder of Eric Garner whose only crime was to sell cigarettes individually:
‘I can’t breathe’ while a New York police officer used an illegal chokehold on him.’
Former Vice President Biden responded to the endless lines of black deaths at the hands of the police and protesting:
‘Protesting such brutality is right and necessary. It’s an utterly American response. But burning down communities and needless destruction is not. Violence that endangers lives is not.’

Protests against police brutality have been raging across the United States for days on end , and the Trump administration ’ s solution seems to hinge on sticking their collective head in the metaphorical sand and pretending that the problems that sparked the protests don ’ t exist .
Staggeringly , during an appearance on CNN this Sunday morning , top Trump adviser Robert O ’ Brien insisted that he does not think that systemic racism is a problem in U.S. policing .
That statement reveals an absolutely staggering level of ignorance about the basic social and political realities in @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Brien ever read a history book ?
Has he ever watched the news ?
Does he know what racism means ?
These are the kinds of questions sparked by his utter ridiculousness .
‘ No , I don ’ t think there ’ s systemic racism .
I think 99.9 percent of our law enforcement officers are great Americans , and many of them are African-American , Hispanic , Asian — they ’ re working in the toughest neighborhoods .
They ’ ve got the hardest jobs to do in this country , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , great Americans , and they ’ re my heroes .
But you know what ?
There are some bad apples in there .
And there are some cops that maybe don ’ t have the right training , and there are some that are just bad cops , and they need to be rooted out because there ’ s a few bad apples that are giving law enforcement a terrible name.
’ One of the solutions that O ’ Brien mentioned to the problem of police brutality in the United States is @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the problems of police brutality that have been captured on film in the last several days alone ?
In Los Angeles , a reporter was assaulted by an officer .
In Louisville , a tv news crew was fired at by a cop who was very obviously aiming right at them , although the rounds were non-lethal .
In Minneapolis , within twenty seconds of a huge contingent of cops appearing on a street , the cops began firing non-lethal rounds at people who were just peacefully standing on a front porch .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ bullets at a news crew that was not standing within 500 feet of any protesters and had their credentials and equipment clearly visible .
The list goes on and on and on .
And these are just the incidents that have been captured on camera .
And O ’ Brien has the gall to insist that there ’ s no systemic racism in the United States policing system , when each and every one of these incidents have unfolded under the cover of a green light given to cops to go after Americans @ @ @ @ @ @ @ an unarmed black man named George Floyd in Minneapolis , whose death sparked the latest round of tumult .
As for the way forward , one of the cops involved in Floyd ’ s murder has been criminally charged , but his three accomplices have yet to face any repercussions other than getting fired from the local police force .
They all felt free to stand on and watch as cop Derek Chauvin led Floyd ’ s murder — but O ’ Brien insists that there ’ s no systemic racism in the @ @ @ @ @ @

Has O’Brien ever read a history book? Has he ever watched the news? Does he know what racism means? These are the kinds of questions sparked by his utter ridiculousness.
He commented to host Jake Tapper:
‘No, I don’t think there’s systemic racism. I think 99.9 percent of our law enforcement officers are great Americans, and many of them are African-American, Hispanic, Asian — they’re working in the toughest neighborhoods. They’ve got the hardest jobs to do in this country, and I think they’re amazing, great Americans, and they’re my heroes. But you know what? There are some bad apples in there. And there are some cops that maybe don’t have the right training, and there are some that are just bad cops, and they need to be rooted out because there’s a few bad apples that are giving law enforcement a terrible name.’

One of the solutions that O’Brien mentioned to the problem of police brutality in the United States is better training. Would better training solve the problems of police brutality that have been captured on film in the last several days alone?
Police have used pepper spray on elected officials (NYC + Ohio), shot rubber bullets at people observing protests from their apartment (LA) and attacked people walking home from the store (Dallas).

And O’Brien has the gall to insist that there’s no systemic racism in the United States policing system, when each and every one of these incidents have unfolded under the cover of a green light given to cops to go after Americans amidst outcry over a police murder of an unarmed black man named George Floyd in Minneapolis, whose death sparked the latest round of tumult.
It seems fair to conclude that we are watching a coast-to-coast riot by police officers https://t.co/amFukHW9nA — dan solomon (@dansolomon) May 31, 2020
As for the way forward, one of the cops involved in Floyd’s murder has been criminally charged, but his three accomplices have yet to face any repercussions other than getting fired from the local police force. They all felt free to stand on and watch as cop Derek Chauvin led Floyd’s murder — but O’Brien insists that there’s no systemic racism in the U.S. police force. Incredible.
Firing rubber bullets indiscriminantly isn’t “de-escalation.” Throwing tear gas and flash bangs isn’t “crowd control.” Marching in phallanx dressed for war isn’t “keeping the peace.” So let’s be clear about your goal here, officers. You don’t want peace.
You want submission. — David Slack (@slack2thefuture) May 31, 2020


bipartisanreport--2020-05-31--Trump Embarrassed By Atlanta Mayor During Live ‘CNN Sunday’ Take Down

President Donald Trump has failed to enact any sort of systematic national leadership amidst the currently unfolding crisis of police brutality in the United States .
As protests have raged in many major cities , some of which have turned violent , Trump has opted to sit in the White House and tweet occasional random insults , many of which are completely disconnected from the reality of the situation .

‘ He should just stop talking .
This is like Charlottesville all over again .
He speaks and he makes it worse .
There are times when you should just be quiet .
And I wish that he would just be quiet , or , if he can ’ t be silent , if there ’ s somebody of good sense and good conscience in the White House , put him in front of a teleprompter and pray @ @ @ @ @ @ @ says the right things , because he is making it worse.
’ That ’ s pretty blunt .

In contrast , the president has mostly stuck to gleefully reveling in @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
Over the weekend , he tweeted : The “ unlimited power ” of the military ?
What exactly does he have in mind ?
Does he want to turn heavy artillery against American citizens ?
That ’ s not exactly a great plan to de-escalate the situation , although for starters , Trump doesn ’ t exactly seem to care about de-escalation , and additionally , he seems too incompetent to even carry out any plan that he has , nonetheless , come up with .
But that doesn ’ t mean @ @ @ @ @ @ @ consequences .
Amidst his public comments about the protest situation , he added a diatribe proclaiming the mainstream media to be the “ enemy of the people , ” and his supporters around the country have seemed to try and carry out that rhetoric .
Journalists at numerous demonstrations have been targeted , sometimes violently , by cops .
Journalists have been targeted by police in New York , Minneapolis , Louisville , and elsewhere among numerous targetings of other otherwise peaceful interests .

President Donald Trump has failed to inspire any kind of systematic confidence in his leadership amidst turmoil that has erupted across the United States in response to unchecked police brutality .
He ’ s mostly opted to sit in the White House in front of his television and tweet random threats .
This weekend on ABC , House Speaker Nancy Pelosi ( D-Calif. ) condemned Trump for his inane belligerence .
Troublingly , she outlined how the president of the United States essentially can ’ t even be taken seriously anymore in light of his endless self-obsession .
‘ I @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to what the president says .
I talked about the injustice… I kind of ignore what President Trump says… The president of the United States should bring dignity to the office he serves .
He should be a unifying force in our country… To take his bait time and time again is just a gift to him because he always wants to divert attention from what the cause of the response was.
’ Trump ’ s most recent public statements about the situation as of early Sunday morning featured what appeared to be @ @ @ @ @ @ @ if he imagines that the U.S. is some sort of police state whose citizens must be kept in line at all costs .
As a video went viral of New York cops slamming two SUVs into a crowd of people , for instance , he tweeted : It ’ s unclear whether the president saw the specific video of the SUVs hitting protesters , but the implication that he ’ s endorsing violence against demonstrators seemed abundantly clear .
In other recent commentary that Trump posted on Twitter , he seemed to revel @ @ @ @ @ @ @ using violence against demonstrators who ’ d gathered outside the White House .

The latest protests against police brutality have grown after the police murder of black man George Floyd in Minneapolis , Minnesota , and she commented : How difficult is it to acknowledge racism ?
Originally , Trump just vaguely called for “ justice ” in the George Floyd case .
In another recent case , after white men murdered black man Ahmaud Arbery , he ignorantly seemed to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ News host that the case would not turn into a “ racial situation , ” which is just a stunning disconnect from the already existent social reality .

Trump’s most recent public statements about the situation as of early Sunday morning featured what appeared to be calls for violence against demonstrators, as if he imagines that the U.S. is some sort of police state whose citizens must be kept in line at all costs.

It’s unclear whether the president saw the specific video of the SUVs hitting protesters, but the implication that he’s endorsing violence against demonstrators seemed abundantly clear.
In other recent commentary that Trump posted on Twitter, he seemed to revel in the possibility of the Secret Service using violence against demonstrators who’d gathered outside the White House.
Discussing a protest crowd, he said:
‘Big crowd, professionally organized, but nobody came close to breaching the fence. If they had they would have been greeted with the most vicious dogs, and most ominous weapons, I have ever seen. That’s when people would have been really badly hurt, at least.’
Pelosi’s own recent public comments have been markedly different. The latest protests against police brutality have grown after the police murder of black man George Floyd in Minneapolis, Minnesota, and she commented:
‘The horrific murder of #GeorgeFloyd has broken our hearts. His family deserves justice, as do countless other black people who’ve been killed in this country. Congress is committed to finding solutions to prevent these crimes & root out the systemic injustice in our society.’

How difficult is it to acknowledge racism? Originally, Trump just vaguely called for “justice” in the George Floyd case. In another recent case, after white men murdered black man Ahmaud Arbery, he ignorantly seemed to agree with the hope of a Fox News host that the case would not turn into a “racial situation,” which is just a stunning disconnect from the already existent social reality.

bipartisanreport--2020-06-01--Trump Shouts’ FAKE NEWS!’ During Sunday Afternoon Mental Collapse

Right now , at a time in history that will be recorded as one of the most chaotic and dangerous times in America , a real president would be working to unify the country , soothe the pain that has manifested in riots and public expressions of outrage , and focus on a response to a virus that has left 105,000 Americans dead .
A real president would be doing what Joe Biden did today .
Instead , the current president of the United States spent Sunday having sudden outbursts on social media .
He isn ’ t outraged by @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the murder of George Floyd .
He isn ’ t outraged at the tens of thousands of deaths in the United States due to a global pandemic .
He isn ’ t outraged that 20 million Americans are currently out of work .
No , our president is outraged about negative coverage of himself on the news .
At this point , Trump will say and do anything to distract from what ’ s happening as a result of his failed leadership and divisive tweets and comments .
So far , during the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ a hundred years , Trump has signed an executive order out of spite against Twitter , played golf , and spent hours every day tweeting and retweeting .
He ’ s called for his supporters to come handle protesters , retweeted a video of a man saying “ the only good Democrat is a dead Democrat ” while the Cowboys for Trump supporters cheered , and quoted an openly avowed white supremacist police chief who targeted black Americans for violence .
That ’ s the current president ’ s response to this historic @ @ @ @ @ @ @ country .
Twitter was quick to respond to Trump ’ s brief mental collapse .
