The NHL Player's Association has chosen to pause the Stanley Cup Playoffs until Saturday, not playing scheduled games Thursday and Friday.

That is fine, assuming the announcement came with an explanation of what they expected to accomplish with this action. I will have to look it up. I wonder if there is a reason for a two day stop specifically.

Ok I read the announcement. Sounds like it was written by a politician. A few platitudes, no indication that they expect any results. Basically follow the leader. NBA did it so we will too.

At least the NBA Milwaukee Bucks are made up of predominantly black players and staff, and are located very close to the most recent incident. I certainly see the justification there.
 
If trump is so obviously racist, why are his approval ratings among Blacks and Hispanics increasing? Between 25 and 40% approval depending on the poll and minority group in question.

What a weirdly phrased question.

Here’s a better one: If Trump isn’t racist, why does he so often retweet white supremacists up to and including the video of one of his supporters shouting “White power”?

The Ten Most Dangerous Cities in the U.S. are ALL run by Democrats, and this has gone on for DECADES!
 
Listen I'm all onboard for some Trump bashing, but the level of freaking out about the goddamn Rose Garden got old for me about 3.4 second after it happened.

"Americana meets Greco-Roman, as if Norman Rockwell threw up on the Parthenon, is the only style allowed at the White House" is something I'm just so over and I'm, if we're being honest, also done with "Jackie" being held up as the ultimate example of what First Lady "should be" mainly in that I think the idea that there's a "right" way to be in a totally symbolic non-elected position gives me the same off vibe I get from hearing our friends across the pond go on about how the Royals "should" act.
Me too.

Its totally consistent with research on this sort of thing. In the 60s, elections following peaceful protests went more liberal and elections following violent protests went more conservative. Seems to have been true in most of the democratic world.

Because if someone is dumb enough, or gullible enough, or greedy enough, you can convince them to vote against their own interests and yea verily their own country's
 
Last thought on the Rose Garden.

Trump pulls **** like this because he knows the Dems aren’t organized enough to prioritize their complaints. He knows that digging up trees planted by First Ladies more than 60 years ago upsets the liberals. In fact, it upsets them enough that they stop talking about his firing inspector generals (that’s something that needs to be in the top ten).

And there is a side effect. Apolitical friends of Democrats listen them complaining about a garden and think “FFS, is there anything you won’t complain about. I’m just going to start tuning you out.”

TL;DR
The Troll in the White House is calling the tune and the liberals are dancing like trained monkeys.

You're giving Trump too much credit. He's a dog who wants to leave his mark on everything. He doesn't think so far ahead: "Hey, this will piss off the Dems, distracting them from all of my more serious wrongdoing." There's no strategy. He's just algorithmically wired for megalomania. Empowering Melania (or others) to pull this kind of **** is only bad if it threatens to overshadow him (such as when the press suggested Bannon was a svengali, and he angrily reacted, "Steve is just a guy who works for me").
 
Dana White tells us that Dear Leader is the hardest worker he's ever seen.

Once again, the Left is eating its own.

Spurred by Trump, PBS and MSNBC are questioning Pelosi for 'over reaching' after Trump exposed her over reaching, by putting mass release of convicts, and other BS into her covid bill
 
Trump Tweets

Democrats Hate that I called for Big Pharma to match the lowest prescription drug prices in the World by using a FAVORED NATIONS CLAUSE. Prices will plunge!

Democrats and Biden didn’t even mention the Anarchists, Agitators, Looters and so called “Peaceful Protesters” at their Convention. They will allow rampant crime, just as they do in Portland. If they ask us, as they must do, we will end crime in their Democrat run cities, FAST!
 
You won't see the tulips until spring but ti is a shame that the apple blossom trees were taken out.

My wish list for the Biden administration to reverse as much as possible of Trump's doings now includes changing back the Rose Garden to the way it was. It now has about the same charm as Trump himself.
 
Kellyanne Conway makes a case that the killings of peaceful protesters will benefit Trump politically

"The more chaos and anarchy and vandalism and violence reigns, the better it is for the very clear choice on who's best on public safety and law and order"

Doesn't she know it's already happening with Trump as president?

How exactly is “more” of it going to make the case that he can stop it?

She's not making that case. ALL of Trump campaigning is now simply FEAR!!! BE AFRAID!!! They have no agenda so they have no idea how to stop the riots. It's just FEAR!!! BE AFRAID!!! all day, every day from now to Nov. 3.
