    The plans, as I read this, only include the Lee statue at this point. No word yet on the others. Right?

    I want to circle back to this.

    The Umbrella Man in mn clearly showed a white dude with a plan. Find that fucker. And the white dude in the video I linked starting fires.

    I firmly believe there were more like them. Yes, locals did damage as well, but there was a coordinated effort here.

    Maybe law enforcement is so fubar that it will all slip in to the ether.

    I'm sorry. I didn't mean Ted Turner, I meant Turner Sports, which is still part of the CNN umbrella. Also, Wolf Blitzer is such a complete dope he may not have known about what Brees said.

    Cops can kneel and hug and that's all good. But keep electing union bosses like this? And none of it matters. Granted, a union boss's job is to fight for members and keep them in jobs - but it should also be about keeping them safe, and keeping bad cops in uniform who heighten the risk (and jobs) of others is bad business.

    The state controls the Lee Monument, while the city oversees the others. Mayor Stoney will enter a removal plan on July 1, the first day municipalities can deal with monuments under the new state law allowing them to do so.

    I expected tanks and Bradleys.

    I think Drew Brees said exactly what he wanted to say. It may have not been the correct opinion, but it was not clumsily-worded. He meant it.

    It’d be more accurate, if one so chose, to say “Because of what he said, Drew Brees is an immoral human being.”

    Immoral? Not necessarily. Clueless and opposed to the entire meaning of the US Constitution out of ignorance? Definitely.

    Bunk brings it in this thread. Worth a click and read.
