Ep. 6.9.20: Breaking Down the Blue Wall; mass protests start to crack police supremacy...and possibly Trump’s cult

THE HOME FOR PROGRESSIVE POLITICS

This Week’s Discussion:

 

Peaceful worldwide pro-justice protests continue. Could this be different from protests past and lead to real systemic change? There are reasons to hope. Protests begin to force change, but need to break down the blue wall that puts police across the nation above the law. Trump and the police respond by reasserting that that is where they intend to stay. We need to force accountability, and then we need to keep marching right into the voting booths in November.  

Meanwhile the President continues to demonstrate the strong, decisive, principled, and honest leadership that this country needs in times...oh, never mind. At least he reminds us that in republican circles, only corporations and rich people get constitutional rights as he fires on peaceful protesters so he can get a photo op with a--wait for it--bible! On second thought, can't we just lock him in his bunker and forget about him?

The media gets all excited over some cracks in Trump's cult as well, as he faces criticism from within his own administration and criminal political party. Seems we have been here before, but we can always find reason to hope. Anyone expecting integrity from the GOP needs to get real, but maybe they are a bellwether of ominous tidings for the criminal-in-chief.
