‘We’re all safe because of law enforcement’ Trump says in Kenosha where a cop shot a Black man in the back 7 times

Can we just pay to run this as an ad across the country? #Strokeahontas pic.twitter.com/MC6j6oEYW6

How weird is it for Trump, AG Barr, and DHS Wolf to go to Kenosha because Trump needed some burnt building photo-ops, even as he jeopardized those business owners by not social distancing them in his press event (Trump was the only one properly distanced).

At the end it seems like Trump really wanted some serious counter-demo, but all the Blake supporters were having a street fair as a counter-point to the Trump hate tour. Trump is now riffing on the police officer “choking” in terms of making an illegal use of force as if in the context of George Floyd, “choking” would be neutralized. Everything is PR messaging.

RW twitter is trying really hard to get BLM to riot. Somehow they’ve constructed disinformation about the two who were murdered by Rittenhouse that justifies their killing because who knew the odds would favor them both with sex crime records. Darn that eye-for-eye shit. And it’s only going to get worse, with or without cans of soup.

Donald Trump blames 'anti-American riots' for unrest in Kenosha, doesn't focus on Blake or Rittenhouse shootings https://t.co/kZmEiSkOR2 via @MollyBeck & @BillGlauber

What happened in Kenosha is Charlottesville 2.0 - a member of the far right travels to take part in civil unrest and kills someone - but Democrats are somehow letting themselves be trolled into acting like BLM protestors did the killing

Today the Blake family brought the community together to live and stand united against Trump's attempts to fan the flames of racial animus. Barbers donated their time to cut hair, people got fed and free coronavirus tests were offered.

Trump refuses to condemn radical right terrorism inspired and even encouraged by his rhetoric. Our neighborhoods will never be safe as long as Trump is in office. #TrumpTerrorism

Now here's a scary sight. A plane load of GOP propagandists!

#BidenCalm is the antidote to #TrumpChaos. Pass it on.

Morning Consult Poll: Wisconsin before conventions was 49-43, after conventions is 52-43. Personally, I think the conventions made no impact and that Biden has always been 52% and Trump has always been around 43%. He's arguably got a better shot in MN than WI. pic.twitter.com/heUQBnSlco
