I'm happy to say it. Donald Trump is officially irrelevant. These aren't getting reactions, because they're just tweets from a crazy uncle. They're not provocative, or edgy, or "pwning the libs". It's just tired.
Trump ain't part of the solution, and I am so happy to say it's irrelevant.
In Seattle news, police abandoned the East precinct, and it's become a headquarters for protesters to hand out first aid and supplies. Apparently they nearly killed someone with a concussion grenade to the chest,and then they shot at the people tending her. That might have been their last straw, because they realized the optics of nearly killing a protester with a grenade (or next time actually killing one) while they were "attacked" with umbrellas was not good. I'll update when I know how she's doing.
They thought the building would be burned to the ground, but it's being treated very well. Allegedly, of course, I'd not go inside a government building "illegally occupied" by protesters. Even if they left the front door unlocked.
I wonder, can you be said to police a city if you don't actually have any police buildings inside the city? Is there a point where the government has to admit de facto that the city itself has rejected their police department, and they have to do something else?
