I'm thinking of something like this. President Obama said that the assassin, who killed the officers because of their race committed "an act not just of demented violence, but of racial hatred."
I think of how the former president believed that Americans "cannot simply turn away and dismiss those in peaceful protest as troublemakers or paranoid." I've seen some of the BLM protests, and they are far from peaceful. Although, perhaps it depends on your definition of peaceful.
The white supremacists are awful. Their beliefs have no place in our country. Neither do the beliefs of those who believe that white people are the source of all evil in the world.
CAMDEN -- Paramedics in Camden were injecting naloxone, better known as Narcan, left and right on Wednesday after "free giveaway day" provided a bad batch of drugs to users, according to NBC10.
LuluI hope people on both the left and right can agree we need to end the scourge of drug addiction in this country. Not sure why you see this as a political issue.
"Of people entering treatment for heroin addiction who began abusing opioids in the 1960s, more than 80 percent started with heroin. Of those who began abusing opioids in the 2000s, 75 percent reported that their first opioid was a prescription drug...."
It could have been ...See MoreOne year ago, the news broke that the Democratic National Committee had been hacked. Tongues began wagging and fingers began pointing that Russia was behind it. However, Democrats might want to get the Kremlin on the phone and offer an apology because a new report suggests the DNC hack may not have been a "hack" at all.
EasTexSteveWikileaks was also "Based in Moscow" for a period of time. Assange hasn't been wrong yet. It looked like the last place we could get the truth is the deep state media.
But, you go ahead and keep shooting the messenger on this one.
Yet, the story is not new. Ray McGovern and his group, "Veteran Intelligence Professionals for Sanity" said from day one that it could not be a hack. It could not be, because the NSA would have had the proof - and NSA didn't!
The real question is, was it Seth Rich that leaked the information and was his murder related to the leak?
If the qualifications you detailed were all it took to conduct foreign affairs on behalf of the US government half my family could do the job. This is just another case of Trump trusting his family over people with actual expertise.
Bob R/CAThe "deep state" are Republican, so do yourself a favor, and just say no. Don't vote, Steve, and enable this malevolent "deep state." It's what Steve Bannon would want.
Republicans do not have to wake up each morning afraid of what the president has tweeted. They do not have to fret that the special counsel will find damning evidence of collusion with Russia, obstruction of justice or other criminal or impeachable behavior. They do not have to worry that they'll accomplish absolutely nothing before facing the voters in 2018. They do not have to dread that a presidential temper tantrum will get us into a war, or force a humiliating retreat. They need not fear that the president of their own party will attack them, or even back a primary challenge against them. They could have a normal president. They could have their party back.
In short, a significant portion of elected Republicans have clearly figured out that a President Pence would be highly preferable to President Trump. Whatever virtues they thought Trump had, those never materialized, and seven months of nerve-racking White House histrionics and dysfunction have left them mentally and emotionally exhausted.
Behind closed doors and in whispered cloakroom conversations, most elected Republicans acknowledge that Trump is a menace, a danger to the party and to the country. If they had any doubts, this week should have confirmed, as Rick Wilson put it, that "there are a lot of reasons that GOP Trumpism won't work, but the biggest one is this: Donald Trump hates you."
BRIDGEWATER, N.J. — The roster of villains in President Trump's world is legion. The list of people he has been willing, even eager, to publicly attack includes not just Mitch McConnell, his latest target, but Jeff Sessions, Chuck Schumer, Paul D. Ryan, John McCain, Hillary Clinton, Bill Clinton and Barack Obama.
And don't forget James B. Comey, Robert S. Mueller III, Andrew G. McCabe, Rod J. Rosenstein, John D. Podesta, Nancy Pelosi, Lisa Murkowski, Arnold Schwarzenegger, Rosie O'Donnell, Meryl Streep, the mayor of London and the cast of "Saturday Night Live." The countries he has assailed include not just North Korea and Iran but also Germany, Canada, Mexico, China and Sweden.
But for all of that feistiness, for all of those verbal and online fisticuffs, there is one person who is definitely not on Mr. Trump's target list: President Vladimir V. Putin of Russia.
Ever since Mr. Trump jumped into political life, Washington has scratched its collective head over his curious affinity for the strongman of the Kremlin. But the president's determination to avoid saying anything even remotely critical of Mr. Putin was brought home in stark relief on Thursday when he twisted himself into a knot over a question about the Russian leader's decision to order the United States Embassy to slash its staff by more than half. Rather than complain, Mr. Trump expressed gratitude.
"I want to thank him because we're trying to cut down on payroll," Mr. Trump told reporters at his golf club in Bedminster, N.J. "And as far as I'm concerned, I'm very thankful that he let go of a large number of people because now we have a smaller payroll. There's no real reason for them to go back. So I greatly appreciate the fact that they've been able to cut our payroll for the United States. We'll save a lot of money."

In an email on Friday morning, Sarah Huckabee Sanders, the White House press secretary, said Mr. Trump meant his comment to be funny. "He was being sarcastic," she said. But she did not explain why Mr. Trump remained so reluctant to utter a word of criticism against Mr. Putin.
But as he was revolutionizing meals for the [school] district's students, prosecutors allege, Binkle illegally funneled roughly $65,000 of the district's money into a private consulting firm he ran, then placed some of that money into his own pocket.
The 55-year-old appeared in court on Tuesday and pleaded not guilty to 15 felony counts including embezzlement and misappropriation of public funds.
Bob R/CASeems like a pretty weak attempt to distract from the train wreck rolling through the White House. If the man-child starts a war in Asia - which looks increasingly likely - debating if Trump is just the worst president or the worst leader ever may become a moot point. I doubt cockroaches and trees care.
He was an adviser to Michelle Obama on her infamous and regularly criticized school lunch program. Binkle, a chef by trade, served for years as the health food guru for the Los Angeles Unified School District. He was held up as the poster child for the first lady's program, instituting its strict nutrition standards for the nearly 1 million children the Los Angeles school district feeds a day. Binkle was so successful in instituting the program that he was brought to the White House to meet with the first lady and advise her on new ways to implement restrictions on children's lunches.
