Trump is just checked out from his own presidency. No one around the world is laughing. They’re all shocked and dismayed. And it’s absurd that this is his response.He has literally no capacity to process this and so falls back on his narcissistic obsession with praise from others https://t.co/cj8McI6GRf— Robert E Kelly (@Robert_E_Kelly) June 1, 2020
Gee, I wonder where all this police violence is coming from?
Just imagine seeing everything that has happened in America over the last several days and thinking the answer is more violence. https://t.co/rYQPsN5lBq— Dan Pfeiffer (@danpfeiffer) June 1, 2020
Kayleigh McEnany asked what Trump is doing to seek to reform police force.— Chris Johnson (@chrisjohnson82) June 1, 2020

DOD's Esper during WH call with governors: "I think the sooner that you mass and dominate the battlespace, the quicker this dissipates and we can get back to the right normal."— Missy Ryan (@missy_ryan) June 1, 2020
Where is this "battlespace" exactly? Downtown Dallas? Lake Street in Minneapolis? Lafayette Park? Brooklyn? And "the right normal"? You mean when blacks know their place and die quietly at the hands of white police officers?
By the way: foreign protest good! Domestic protest bad!
