Them Damned Poster Boys
Trump and Police Conduct
When Donald Trump urged
police officers not to protect the people they take into custody, he was just joking.
At least that’s what his press secretary said.
He was just funnin’ when he suggested police officers shouldn’t help suspects after they cuff their hands behind their backs. If prisoners slice their heads open while being loaded into police vans, he chuckled, well they probably deserve it.
Police forces around the country weren’t laughing. They immediately condemned Trump’s remarks. (The Boy Scouts of America was forced to apologize for his comments just a week earlier.)
The president’s speech didn’t do our men and women in blue any favors. His words feed the mistrust that puts them and the public at greater risk. A law enforcement community that honors its oath to serve and protect is one or our nation’s greatest strengths.
If articles of impeachment are one day drawn up against Donald Trump, his use of police brutality as a punch line should be one of them.

Billboard, Born in Kenya
Kenya was the birthplace of Donald Trump’s presidential campaign. It was at the center of Trump’s claims that Barack Obama wasn’t born in the U.S. and was not legitimate in office.
As a candidate-to-be, he was looking for ways to exploit the rage and disbelief created by the election of an African-American president. He found an audience.
He took to Twitter 67 times and used hundreds of hours of free media exposure to flog his ‘Birther’ calumnies.
Taking a page from the KKK, he dragged a black man out of his home (in this case the White House) to humiliate him in front of the town folk. He mocked the human rights progress we’ve struggled to achieve.
Abraham Lincoln said the Civil War was God’s punishment for the wealth earned through slavery and that the blood shed by those in bondage would be repaid by those on the battlefield. “The judgments of the Lord are true and righteous altogether.” he added, quoting Psalm 19:9.
It’s possible our nation will be punished for allowing a race baiter into the Oval Office.
If Lincoln’s God is merciful He’ll decide that a Trump presidency is punishment enough — and that when he leaves office, our sentence will be commuted to time already served.






Billboard — Crime Scene
George Orwell is alive and well.During his campaign, Donald Trump accused Spanish-speaking immigrants of being more likely to commit rape and murder than other Americans — exactly the opposite is true.
When he lost the popular election, he accused millions of illegal aliens of voting unlawfully — that did not happen.
He was using fear and hatred to criminalize a entire group of people.
We’ve don’t usually hold politicians accountable for what they say in the heat of a campaign. But in an extraordinary move, the 4th US Circuit Court of Appeals has taken the president’s remarks about religion at face value, citing them as proof that his travel ban is unconstitutional.
By a margin of 10 to 3, they found the president’s remarks too dangerous to be ignored.
