Trump endorses U.S. Marshals' summary execution of suspect
Trump endorses U.S. Marshals' summary execution of suspect
To restore law and order you have to destroy it, natch.We sent in the US Marshals, took 15 minutes and it was over… They knew who he was, they didn't want to arrest him and 15 minutes that ended
This guy was a violent criminal, and the U.S. Marshals killed him. And I will tell you something, that’s the way it has to be. There has to be retribution when you have crime like this,” Trump said.
Trump’s comments seemed to line-up with Attorney General William Barr’s official statement following the killing of Reinoehl, calling the officers’ actions “a significant accomplishment in the ongoing effort to restore law and order.”

Re: Orange is the new President
Fear not; I've been reassured by many very wise people that what Trump says is not important; only what he does. And he didn't actually do anything here; he only said stuff.

Re: Orange is the new President
So Trump said that if Biden were elected, he would listen to scientists, like that was a bad thing.
He's rightly coming in for a lot of mockery, but I can't help but think this is informed by a lot of leftists' belief, not in science, but in scientism, where any argument is settled by using the (pardon the phrase) trump card of "SCIENCE!" They use science, as the saying goes, like a drunkard uses a lamp-post: for support, not illumination.

You have a valid point, but do you really think Trump understands the difference between science and scientism?

Between science and sciencism lies sciencyness, which is actually what most of us believe in.
Re: Orange is the new President
I am totally baffled why anyone would think "Biden will listen to the scientists" is an insult.

Re: Orange is the new President
At this point, Team Red is the villain clique from an 80's teen movie. Biden would listen to the nerds. NERDS!!!!
EDIT: Yes, there are some is/ought issues here, not to mention tradeoffs, economics, etc. But the Reds aren't approaching this at that level of sophistication. They're approaching it at the level of "Biden will listen to the people who think the world is billions of years old."

Re: Orange is the new President
Yeah, "follow the science" is actually kind of a dumb slogan; science strictly speaking doesn't produce action recommendations.
But "listen to scientists" is an obviously smart thing to do in a pandemic. And somehow the Trump campaign has lost sight of that.
(See also complaining about how Biden would listen to Fauci specifically, since he's more trusted than either of them.)

Re: Orange is the new President
Damn straight. You can't trust the media; they just want to undermine American Freedom. If you want a free country then you'd better get in line behind the Leader.

Re: Orange is the new President
Taktix posted a video on FB about that, with a bunch of apparently Q-believing people saying "You can't trust the media" and on and on. And I was just thinking "and who are you trusting to give you information? Are you investigating their reasoning as well?" I mean, we know the answer is 'no', it's just "I'm not important enough, so I'm going to join in with this 'secret' truth that makes me feel like I'm one of the important people."
"Sharks do not go around challenging people to games of chance like dojo breakers."
Re: Orange is the new President
I am sympathetic to the idea, at this point, that if you don't support Trump, and especially if you are in a group that feels like it will be harmed by him (e.g. someone with a pre-existing condition who is afraid of Obamacare getting done away with), that you would look at a loved one who supports Trump and say, "this isn't just a 'both sides have their merits' issue anymore, if you continue to support him there's something genuinely malicious about you, that makes me not want to have a relationship with you."
I get the impulse to feel that way. But it seems like a lot of people I know are suddenly acting on it in ways that I don't think are going to end well. I know three different people who have told parents or in laws that they won't get to see their grandkids anymore if the grandparents vote for trump. I know one woman, who admittedly has already been talking divorce with her husband, who explicitly told him if he didn't vote Biden she would leave him. And I have trans friend who wrote to his parents and said "if you support Trump you don't support me."
Is any of this really going to do any good? (In the case of my poor trans friend, his parents wrote back and said essentially, "we can clear that up, we don't support you.") If anything it's just going to feed into the "liberal cancel culture, persecuted conservatives" narrative that so many Trumpers have. I understand deciding to end a relationship because you're so bothered by someone's support of Trump, but only as a personal choice. Not trying to threaten THEM into changing THEIR behavior over it.
