Relief is on the way to Utah! I’m proud to send $187.18M in CARES Act funding to @RideUTA. This money will keep people moving and support a swift and smooth economic recovery for the GREAT people of Utah!

I am allocating $2.96 BILLION in Emergency Solutions Grants to support homeless Americans and those at risk of becoming homeless because of job or wage loss, or illness due to COVID-19. We are taking care of our Nation’s most vulnerable citizens. Thanks @SecretaryCarson!

Given recent gatherings, seems reasonable time for President Trump to resume holding rallies. Could be held outside. Give out masks at entrance, encourage use. But mass gatherings are now OK. Biden could re-start, too, of course.

Some people might think there is a difference between a rally/protest against a significant social injustice (like police kneeling on a person's neck until dead) and a political rally to satisfy the ego of a snowflake like Stubby Mcbonespurs.

I was certainly wondering why "pointing" to a radio would matter at all, but I was willing to take the hypothesis as true and see what consequences would follow.

I assume that a typical police "scanner" app is taking data over the usual cell tower. Do phones have hardware to pick up whatever frequencies that police use? Far as I know, I can't listen to (say) FM band on my phone. I presume that phones have hardware to communicate with a cell tower and to receive GPS but nothing else.

I could totally be mistaken, of course.

Well WIFI and Bluetooth also but no they wouldn't be on the radio bands of police and fire, those are just above and below the HAM radio bands, and HAM radios can be modified(such as clipping a wire) to broadcast on such frequencies. Rather illegal if one is not a member of such agencies.

Scanners that simply receive are of course totally legal, though I think for a phone it would be using a web page.

Correct. The apps have to know your location to tie into the right scanners.

THE FACT THAT I'M LOSING POLLING GROUND IN UTAH AND JUST GOT INTO A SLAPPY FIGHT WITH YOUR FORMER GOVERNOR HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH THIS!

White House: Trump Restored Order in America
The White House says that President Donald Trump’s decision to push for a surge in National Guard troops in American cities last week has paid off.

Trump’s National Guard ‘surge’ allowed George Floyd protesters to ‘demonstrate safely,’ White House...
The George Floyd protests are dramatically more peaceful, which the Trump administration says is a result of the president's deployment of the National Guard.

Imagine that! The WH (aka Trump) backing up Trump. I'm gobsmacked.

As usual, McEnany either had her facts wrong or she deliberately lied. Exit polling showed Romney actually won 6% of black votes and he was running against Barack Obama. But if Kayleigh McEnany doesn't like him he can't be all bad. ;)

But, but, she PROMISED she wouldn't lie to us! Pinky promised!
 
If the theory here is that he’s using a cellphone to scan police frequencies, that’s just utter BS. It’s not possible.

This crossed over the crazy CT theory boundary from the get-go.

@SenateGOP
The U.S. economy added 2.5 million jobs in May.
That's the BIGGEST JOBS INCREASE EVER! Partying face Flag of United States

Wow. Even Trump supporters aren't stupid enough to think these are NEW jobs and not just jobs reopening from the shut down. I think. But I could be wrong. Hell, I'm probably wrong.

My decision to appoint @usairforce General Charles Brown as the USA’s first-ever African American military service chief has now been approved by the Senate. A historic day for America! Excited to work even more closely with Gen. Brown, who is a Patriot and Great Leader!

Is it just me or does this seem like a desperate attempt to get some positive publicity?

Not to suggest Brown isn't worthy...

Does anyone know when he was nominated? Was this a long-standing process that just happened to get confirmed today, or was it rushed by Stubby Mcbonespurs and Moscow Mitch as a way to say "ignore all the racist things trump has said... He nominated a minority to a position where Trump will probably ignore his advice. We are all good now, aren't we?"

Buffalo protester shoved by Police could be an ANTIFA provocateur. 75 year old Martin Gugino was pushed away after appearing to scan police communications in order to black out the equipment. @OANN I watched, he fell harder than was pushed. Was aiming scanner. Could be a set up?

"He fell faster than gravity! That's physically impossible! It must have been on purpose!"
 
As loathe as I am to give President Trump the benefit of any doubt, I read it more as Trump claiming the guy was over-selling the shove, like a football/soccer player "flouncing" to draw a card on the other team so to speak.

Which is still all kinds of wrong and even more kinds of beside the point, but that's President Trump in a nutshell, all kinds of wrong and all kinds of beside the point.

Surprising absolutely nobody, Trump's elderly Antifa provocateur conspiracy theory may have come from an OAN story. It matches most of the details.

His nomination was announced on March 2nd.

Secretary of Defense Mark T. Esper announced today that the president has made the following nomination:

Air Force Gen. Charles Q. Brown Jr. has been nominated for appointment to the rank of general, with assignment as chief of staff, U.S. Air Force, Pentagon, Washington, District of Columbia. Brown is currently serving as commander, Pacific Air Forces; air component commander for U.S. Indo-Pacific Command; and executive director, Pacific Air Combat Operations Staff, Joint Base Pearl Harbor-Hickam, Hawaii.

I don't know how long the process normally takes though.

@SebGorka
Lap Dog Mattis is an embarrassment to America!
Click to expand...

Gorka, unsurprisingly, is an anti-Muslim, fake Ph.D., Breitbart/ OAN far right nut job. And THIS is the kind of man that Trump has as an adviser.

Mia Bloom, a widely published expert on terrorism and a professor at Georgia State University, recalls an encounter with Gorka on a terrorism panel at the Defense Intelligence Agency. “Gorka knows virtually nothing,” she says. “His views are a mixture of Islamophobia and racism. We’d been given questions in advance, we were paid for our appearance, and he just ********ted his way through it – and he brought books to sell!” All of which is why Paul Pillar, a former national intelligence officer for the Middle East, says Gorka is too dangerous to be allowed to remain in the White House: “Gorka represents an intolerance that offends American values and is likely to gain the United States more enemies than friends.”

PLEASE DO! And don't wear those pesky, uncomfortable and unattractive masks, either. Get up nice and close with those adoring fans. Shake hands, give 'em hugs! And remember, Trump fans, only woosies let a little thing like a fever or cough stop them from attending a MAGA rally!

This is 'back and to the left' levels of delusion.
